Hygienist
Tiffany Hoopingarner, RDH
My inspiration for joining the dental field is all due to my wonderful aunt, who has been a hygienist for over 30 years. I expressed to her I had some interest in the field and she allowed me to come observe her. After that day, I knew it was the right career path for me. I graduated from Northern Arizona University in 2013 with a Bachelor of Science in dental hygiene. Eager to work, I started one month later at Verde Dental Care, where I have been ever since.
When I’m not at work, I’m hanging out with my husband and two kids; they are the world to me. We love traveling, spending time outdoors, and visiting with friends and family!
Amanda Stenseth, RDH
My name is Amanda. I am originally from Montana, where I attended Montana State University. Later, I relocated to the desert where I finished dental hygiene school at Carrington College. I strive to provide the highest level of care for our patients as well as provide a comfortable experience.
Outside of the office, I like to spend time with our pups, family, and friends. I enjoy spending time at the river, lake, hiking, golfing, cooking, and attending sporting events and concerts.

I look forward to meeting you and supporting your journey to a healthier, happier smile!
Aubrey Hanks, RDH
Hi ! My name is Aubrey Hanks ! I grew up in Whitefish, Montana, where I spent my winter days skiing and snowboarding and summer days on the boat. The cold winters were great for a while, but eventually, I wanted to escape the freezing temperatures and moved to Arizona.
In Arizona I found my passion for dental hygiene. I love helping people feel confident and comfortable in their smiles while showing them how oral health is linked to overall health. I aim to make the dental office a comfortable and welcoming place for everyone.
When I am not working in the office, you will often find me spending my time with my friends, dog, or out for a run!
Meaggan Meadows, RDH
Hello, I'm Meaggan! I graduated from Northern Arizona University with a Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene in May of 2019. I have been working here at Sedona Smiles ever since. Every day I can think of a reason to love what I do!
As a member of this team, my goal is to help patients achieve and maintain oral health through educating on the importance of personalized routine home-care, professional treatment, and a well-balanced diet. I aim to help patients understand that the mouth is a gateway to the remainder of the body. The presence of bad bacteria in the mouth can have a negative impact on the health and performance of our major organs and bodily systems. It is equally important to me that each patient leave feeling confident with their smile!
I am from Buckeye, Arizona; a fast-developing city just west of Phoenix. In my personal time, I spend time with family and my sweet dog Alice. I love to travel, be on the beach, attend concerts and find new ways to be healthy and organized.
