Meet Briley

Dental Assistant

It took Briley a while to figure out her path, but she knew she wanted to be in the medical field, a part of a team, hands-on and busy every day. Briley always liked going to the dentist, even if it was only for her six-month cleanings. She honestly found it relaxing. Briley needed a profession that kept her on her toes, and dentistry checked all the boxes. After delivering her very first three-unit bridge, Briley’s patient cried happy tears because she loved the way it looked and was so happy with the final look. Briley especially helps to assist with root canals, extractions and crowns.



Briley likes to smile, so she loves giving her patients the confidence and a reason to smile! She believes, “Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning to dance in the rain.” She’s available for her patients any way she is needed. It breaks Briley’s heart when she hears a patient say they’re scared of the dentist because of a bad experience at the dentist’s office earlier in life. She wants her patients to be comfortable and calm when sitting in her chair. Briley wants to see smiles whether they’re coming into the office or leaving!

Briley grew up in a very small town in the northwest corner of Ohio. The area she grew up in was surrounded by corn and bean fields, so she finds it amazing how tall and thick the trees are in the King George area are. She loves all the trees, but being so close to the water is a plus.

Married to a US Marine, Briley has a 1-year-old red Goldendoodle named Rusty, who is pretty close to a child. Outside of the office, Briley enjoys cooking, watching movies, sewing and creating. She likes road trips, traveling and trying new restaurants. Briley also enjoys spending time with her husband and dog. She also has the biggest sweet tooth at Dahlgren Dental.
