Alicia - Business Administrator
Hello! I’m Alicia. I have been a member of the Creative Smiles family for over 10 years. My role is to help ensure the needs of the practice are met so that we can provide you the best patient experience ever. My role also includes supporting the doctors and my team. I love the business side of dentistry and have discovered my passion for numbers and accounting. I enjoy our personal development courses and live by the quote, “He or she who is the most flexible wins”.
I’m a Hispanic Arizona native and I enjoy new dining experiences, traveling, road trips, paddle boarding, hiking and camping with my son (21), 2 dogs (Koko and Lulu) and my feisty cat (Binxie). I’m setting new personal goals to travel to every town in Arizona and compete in the next Tough Mudder competition.

Kaitlyn - Dental Hygienist & Myofunctional Therapist
My name is Kaitlyn Wilton. I grew up here in Tucson but moved away when I was in my early twenties. My husband and I lived in Colorado for seven years. We moved back to the desert in June of 2021, reuniting with family and with our desert roots. We have two wonderful kids; our daughter is six and our son is three. We always have a busy house, especially with the addition of a coop full of chickens! We love coffee shops, family time, and outdoor adventures. I graduated with my dental hygiene degree in 2013. During my time there I was awarded the Lucy Brajevich Scholarship from the Southern Arizona Dental Society. Dentistry has fulfilled my passion for helping others. Here at Creative Smiles Dentistry, my dreams have been fostered to a whole new level; as I am now also a Myofunctional Therapist. We focus on more than just teeth, we support patients in whole body health and well being.
Laura - Dental Hygienist
Hi! My name is Laura. I’ve been in the dental field since 2017 and graduated as a dental hygienist in 2023. I’m a proud Tucson native who enjoys hiking with my husband and our dog. I also love being by the water and spending time paddle boarding whenever I can. I’m passionate about making patients feel comfortable and confident in their oral health journey and very excited to do that here at Creative Smiles!
Lizzy - Dental Assistant
Hi! My name is Lizzy Atwood and I am a dental assistant here at Creative Smiles. Originally from California, I’ve been in Tucson for over 20 years and consider it my home. I am very fortunate to have my immediate family live in Tucson, as well as my fiancé’s family. I adore spending time with my mom, sister and her family (which includes the cutest nephew ever), my soon to be husband, Chris, and his family. Chris and I will be getting married early next year, woo! We all love getting together, cooking good food, and playing games.
I graduated from the University of Arizona in 2015 with a B.A. in Linguistics. I enjoy going to the gym, riding my horse, Olive, and spending time being active outside. I like watching UFC and Formula 1 racing. I am passionate about connecting with people and helping them live a healthy life. I am thrilled I get to do all that through dentistry.
Theresa - Director of Practice Wellness
Hello! My name is Theresa Aguilar. I am the Director of Practice Wellness here at Creative Smiles Dentistry. I have been in the dental field for 10 years now and it is truly my passion to help patients get that smile they have always wanted. I was so fortunate to find this great practice and I am grateful to be part of this team. I am from California originally and have been in Tucson for 6 years now. I love my work family and our wonderful patients! Helping people get the smiles they have always wanted is truly my passion. I love to get out and take in all of the beautiful things Tucson has to offer. When I’m not working, I enjoy going on road trips, hiking, paddle boarding, cooking and good ole’ game nights with my friends and family! I’m also very artistic, so I enjoy painting and anything that allows me to get creative.
Vanessa - Dental Hygienist
Hello! My name is Vanessa! Dentistry and preventative care are my passion. I've been in the dental setting for a decade now. Time flies when you're having fun! I've been practicing as a hygienist for four years now and with Creative Smiles for three of those years. I have two wonderful children. We like to spend our past time together playing sports and I truly enjoy watching them play in person any chance I get.
Vincent - Dental Assistant
My name is Vincent Hampton. I’ve been a dental assistant since 2010. Since I began at Creative Smiles, I’ve increased my knowledge in all aspects of dentistry. Together with Dr. Jeannie, I’ve become an implant specialist and enjoy working with her to bring more options to patients requiring tooth replacement. I was born in California and my family moved to Tucson in 1995, where I have lived ever since. I love football, I played at Mountain View high school, Eastern Arizona College and briefly coached high school athletes. Other hobbies of mine include astronomy, writing fantasy fiction, video games, and animé. I have tried my hand at 3D animation and, along with my brother and friends, built a voice-recording booth to capture my voice acting. We have a hilarious time using 3D animation to make crazy characters and bring them to life with exotic accents.
Xandy - Patient Care Coordinator
My name is Xandy and I am the Patient Care Coordinator. I was born and raised in Seattle, Washington and have been in Tucson, Arizona for about 2 years and the difference is shocking! While I do miss my home state, I am blessed with so many opportunities and have met such wonderful people here. I am currently pursuing my license in Veterinary Technology at Pima Community College but in the meantime, I found that the environment I feel happiest in is here in a dental office where I can make people smile and be a part of the reason they can do so with confidence! I enjoy reading and traveling with my partner and spending time with our one calico cat in our home, hoping to eventually add another furry family member soon.
