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.

Tori is another one of our talented team members who will tell you she absolutely loves working in dentistry and helping patients of all ages. She enjoys assisting Dr. Baines and patients throughout their oral health journey at our dental office in Springfield. She is the person who will be at your side to love and care for you throughout your treatment, making certain of your comfort and well being.

What she also loves most about working in dental care is being alongside her fabulous coworkers, the friendly patients, and getting to learn or do something new every day. She says working at Baines Dental Wellness is unique because everyone is truly dedicated to taking the time to get to know our patients and address their needs. Tori says she’s glad she chose to become a part of our dental family because she loves the happy environment, the people she works with, and the continuing education opportunities that Dr. Baines generously offers to the team. When she’s not busy assisting her team at our Springfield office, Tori is usually camping, playing volleyball, or volunteering with the Royal Family Kids Camp through her church.
