Teal Caines

Teal is Dente’s Lead Dental Assistant and has been in the dental field for five years. Born and raised in Utah, she’s passionate about health, fitness, and spending quality time with her husband - whether they’re out and about or just relaxing at home. Teal is a self-proclaimed foodie, loyal to sub sandwiches and a cold Dirty Dr. Pepper. She’s also an unapologetic fan of cat reels and believes everyone could use a good laugh now and then.

Teal loves getting to know patients and is always excited to help create a positive, personal experience at Dente.

Addie Ahlmer

dental assistant

Addie grew up in Draper, Utah, and brings a unique blend of beauty industry experience and fresh energy to the Dente team. After graduating from hair school in 2020, she continues to work at a salon in American Fork while exploring her passion for dentistry. As the youngest of five, Addie loves boating with her family, “glamping” (with minimal bug encounters), and cozy nights in watching rom-coms. She’s also a proud Swig and Maverik enthusiast.

Addie’s easygoing nature and excitement for learning make her a welcome addition to the team - and she can’t wait to meet every new patient who walks through the door.

holly richards

Business Manager / Owner

Holly is the co-owner and Business Manager at Dente, where she’s made it her mission to redefine the dental experience into something more personal, polished, and unexpectedly enjoyable. After spending 12 years as a stay-at-home parent, she found that juggling office operations came naturally - thanks to years of managing a full house and a packed calendar. Holly holds a degree in Geospatial Intelligence, has lived in Germany twice, and is always dreaming up her next European adventure.

As a proud Type A eldest daughter, she thrives on structure, intention, and a little bit of fun in everything she does. When she’s not at the office, she’s likely in the car en route to one of her kids’ activities.
