Meet The Team At Baines Dental Wellness

Laura will be the first smiling face of our Springfield dental team you see at the front desk when you walk into our office and the friendly voice on the line when you call. You will love the way she interacts with you, as she leads with her heart, listens, and handles the logistics of scheduling your appointments with ease and precision.

Laura graduated from Midwest Technical Institute and is an MRC-certified Myofunctional Therapist. She has been working in dentistry since 2009.

Laura stays motivated in our practice by having the opportunity to learn new things every day. She also loves establishing, building, and maintaining relationships with our patients because of the joy it brings her. Laura admires how Dr. Baines is committed to ensuring her team is knowledgeable and can care for our patients’ needs. She was blessed with good dental care providers as a child, and it greatly impacted her, inspiring her to become a dental assistant and now our business relationships coordinator.

Laura has a son who is super passionate about rescue animals, so they try to help out the local animal rescue when possible. She loves playing outside with her family and dogs. Laura is a basketball, soccer, and baseball mom who enjoys watching The Office, eating, and researching true crime events.

Lizzie is one of our awesome dental assistants who will take great care of you and your family. She has a wonderful, friendly way of helping patients of all ages feel comfortable in the dental office.

Lizzie chose a career as a dental assistant because it gives her the unique opportunity to have no two workdays that are ever the same! She helps Dr. Baines in a variety of ways including assisting with dental implants, crowns, infant tongue release and orthodontic procedures. The iTero DIGITAL dental impression machine is one of her favorite tools to use. It takes a real time video of your teeth and eliminates the need for goopy impressions. She is skilled at helping prepare patients for their treatment and will help you feel at ease every step of the way.

What Lizzie loves most about Baines Dental Wellness is the positivity in the office and how everyone cares deeply for their patients. Her outgoing and selfless character is a great addition to the team. Feeling like she has a second family at work is something she looks forward to every day!

Outside of work, Lizzie loves hanging out with her family and playing golf. She grew up in a family involved with organic farming and enjoys the country life. To relax and unwind she enjoys watching children’s movies and cartoons with her most recent favorites being Shrek and Paw Patrol!
