Chrissy

Insurance Coordinator

Hi, my name is Chrissy. I am the Insurance Coordinator at North Shore Dental Center. My responsibilities include managing the administrative aspects of dental insurance claims, billing, and patient payments. I ensure that insurance claims are processed accurately and efficiently, and also communicate with insurance companies to resolve any issues or discrepancies. Additionally, I handle patient inquiries regarding insurance coverage and payments. As an Insurance Coordinator, it is rewarding to help patients understand their dental benefits and insurance claims. Many people find dental insurance confusing, so I do my best to explain the process in simple terms.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. My favorite thing to do is to spend time with my 4 AMAZING children who make me so proud. And my cutest French Bulldog, Tank, who brings so much laughter and unconditional love. I love spending time near the ocean, trees, and watching sunsets. I am always so THANKFUL for the little things in life that bring me joy. The simple pleasures in life are what nourish my soul and help me be the best version of myself at work.

Jillian

Dental Assistant

Hi! I’m Jillian, but everyone calls me Jilly or Jill. I’m a passionate and hardworking dental assistant who began my education at Essex North Shore Agricultural and Technical School in Danvers, Massachusetts. During my training, I gained early hands-on experience assisting dental students at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, and were I also earned my CPR, HIPAA, OSHA, first aid, and x-ray certifications.
 
I’ve loved working with Dr. Elias, and every day has been a chance to learn and grow. I assist her with restorative procedures, crown and bridge work, oral surgery, and implant placements. Providing excellent patient care and following the highest standards of infection control are incredibly important to me, and I’m always continuing my education to stay up-to-date in the dental field.
 
When I’m not in the office, you can usually find me hanging out with my two adorable rabbits, Cocoa and Gibby. I also love golf, spending time with friends and family—especially when it involves sunshine, the beach, or relaxing at my family’s camp on Lake Winnipesaukee in Moultonborough, New Hampshire.
 
I’m excited to continue my dental journey and plan to return to school to become a dental hygienist, with the goal of joining Dr. Elias in that role in the future.
