Meet Your Friendly Dental Team – Gahanna, OH
Get to Know the Friendly Faces Around Our Dental Office
Our team is what really makes our dental office special. They’re friendly, approachable, and their ultimate dream is to make our dental office similar to “Cheers.” We don’t like working in a stuffy, sterile environment as much as you don’t like coming to one. Of course, just because they’re fun doesn’t mean they aren’t a truly dedicated team of professionals. They’ll be there during your entire visit with a warm smile to make sure you have everything you need before, during, and after your appointment.
Abbey
Business Manager
Abbey is originally from Gahanna, OH, and she has been an essential member of our team for over five years. One of the things she loves most about her job is being able to help patients get the essential dental care they deserve, many of which feel like family. Another part she appreciates is the amazing team she gets to work alongside. All in all, it’s the genuine relationships she gets to build with both the staff and patients that truly makes her feel fulfilled and at home!
Whenever she isn’t at the office, Abbey is likely with her high school sweetheart husband, Stephen, and their two sons, Gavin and Brady. They also have multiple pets, including three dogs named Chewy, Mia, and Nova, and a ferret called Zippy. Together, they enjoy fishing, cooking, listening to music, watching movies, playing all types of sports, and watching her youngest child play soccer. In her free time, she enjoys arts and crafts as well as learning new things like how to weld—mainly to build her son a go-kart!

She also loves learning new things in the field and being part of an encouraging team environment. As for life outside work, Kylie is passionate about reading, coffee shops, cute local stores, and travelling. That last hobby, especially, is something she values – there are still a few places on her bucket list she wants to visit!

Breanne Registered Dental Hygienist

She loves taking continuing education courses and learning as much as possible so that she can provide incredible care for her patients. One of the best parts of her job as a sterilization assistant is to ensure that the office remains perfectly clean and sanitized. Creating a hygienic and safe environment for both team members and patients is very rewarding.
Outside of the office, Kayla enjoys spending time with her family and loved ones. She loves being with them on major holidays as well as traveling together whenever possible. Other than dentistry, she is also an entrepreneur who owns/operates a clothing and event business called “Overcome.” Whenever she isn’t managing her business or traveling internationally, you can find her hanging out with her pet Yorkie named Tyson.
Kenzie, Office Mascot & Honorary Team Member
Kenzie has been with Dr. Clay and Dr. Buller since they were in dental school together, so they like to say that she practically attended The Ohio State University College of Dentistry just like them! A retired professional squirrel chaser, she now spends her days snoozing, eating (she loves cleaning the kitchen after pizza day), and exploring the river and woods near her home (lots of smells). She lives just half a mile from her favorite park and knows the way there by heart. Usually, her biggest decision each day comes down to choosing between two big, comfy beds to sleep in.
