Our Team
Sarah Villani
Office Manager

Being in the dental field for 20 years, Sarah has worn many hats working in different dental office settings. This has translated in her being one of the most versatile and well-rounded team members at our practice. She can literally do it all...administrative work, clinical work, and can fix almost anything. She is extremely passionate about our practice and loves improving lives one smile at a time. When Sarah is not busy at our office, she enjoys spending time with her family and friends, playing softball and volleyball, gardening, crafting (She hand-makes most of our decorations in the office!), learning how to fix just about anything, laughing, going to festivals, and volunteering for area races. She is also the president of her neighborhood civic association and manages the neighborhood pool.

I have worked in the dental field for over 13 years but recently switched to pediatric dentistry. This is by far my favorite place to be. I love working with Dr. Burns and our amazing team. I am a mother of two boys. I enjoy being outdoors and will try to find any reason to be outside on my time off. I love sports, reading, and dabble in painting every now and then.
