Hi, my name is Michelle Bate. I am a Dental Hygienist, as well as the Office Manager, and Financial/Insurance Coordinator here at Scurlock Dental Care. I have been with Dr. Scurlock since January 2006. I earned an Associate of Applied Science in Dental Hygiene from Shawnee State University in 2003.

I look forward to coming to work each day and interacting with the friendly staff and patients. I am enthused and motivated each day to achieve my goal in educating and providing information to our patients so that they can improve their oral health. Thus, contributing to the well being of their general health.

In order for our patients to financially obtain the beautiful smile they deserve I will guide our patients through payments on any financial arrangements, as well as assist them in understanding their insurance coverage, submit claims, and work to maximize their benefits.

I reside in Portsmouth with my two sons, D.J. and Austin. I love going to the gym, watching my children play football and basketball, enjoying the outdoors, and spending time wth family and friends.

All of us here at Scurlock Dental Care look forward to hearing from you and accommodating you and your dental needs!!



 

My name is Alaina Himes and I am a Registered Dental Hygienist (RDH) at the dental office of Dr. Steven Scurlock. In addition to receiving a cleaning and periodic x-rays when coming to the office to see me, your tissue health will be assessed, you will be educated on any products you could be using at home, and we will discuss any concerns about your oral health. An intraoral camera is used to allow the patients a dentist's point- of- view, making it easier to understand what treatments are necessary to bring teeth and gums to optimum health.

I attended Shawnee State University and received my Associates degree in Dental Hygiene in 2002. I graduated with a Bachelor in Individualized Studies from SSU in 2003, and fnished my Masters of Science in Health Administration through a Central Michigan University cohort at SSU in 2007. I grew up here in Scioto County and attended Valley High School.

My hisband, Doug, is from West Union, Ohio where he currently works as a Nursing Home Administrator for Eagle Creek Nursing Center. We live in Blue Creek, Ohio with our daughter, Jaelyn. We enjoy spending time with family as out daughter gets involved in soccer, tumbling, and church acitvities. My relaxation time is spent scrapbooking and enjoying nature.

We here at Scurlock Dental Care trult want to express our desire to help you attain a beautiful healthy smile. Your overall healthy is greatly affected by oral health, as expressed in numerous medical studies linking several systemic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes to a patient's oral health. We want our patient's to understand that having a healthy mouth is the first step to keeping your smile for a lifetime.
