Her advanced knowledge of every aspect of the dental office enables her to provide guidance for both our patients and the practice. A firm believer in knowledge is power, she is more than happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have.
Marcy started her career in dentistry more than 25 years ago as an Expanded Functions Dental Assistant so don’t be surprised if you find her chairside assisting the doctor.
Married with 3 (almost) grown children, Marcy and her husband, Duane, enjoy traveling to new and exciting locations every opportunity they get!

Her gentle touch and friendly chairside manner helps patients feel more relaxed and comfortable during their visit. Laura truly enjoys her career and her favorite part of dentistry is seeing the results that cosmetic dentistry can do for her patients.
She was born in California but raised in Indianapolis. Laura is fluent in Spanish and outside of work she enjoys watching movies, photography, and traveling. She loves dogs, specifically her Shar Peis Gino and Mochi. You can follow their adventures on Instagram @ginoandmochi!

She enjoys building long lasting relationships with each of her patients. She revels in educating patient on their oral health and helping them maintain it. She graduated from the IUN Dental Hygiene Program in 2010 with the Rebekah Fisk Memorial Award.
In her spare time, Kristin keeps busy chasing after her toddler and two dogs. She is also a DIY aficionado and has completed multiple huge renovations. Ask her what projects she's tackling, the next time you are in her chair!
Angelique
LDH
Angelique puts the Zen in our hygiene department! An Indy native with two grown children, she earned her dental hygiene associate degree and public health BS degree at Indiana University School of Dentistry. She has been in private practice since 2004.
When she isn't in the dental office, Angelique is a 500RYT yoga instructor. She teaches group yoga classes, leads yoga teacher training and offers Thai massage. It's not uncommon for her to treat her patients to a gentle head and neck massage after a long procedure
Everyone I dealt with recently at Pure Zen including Dr. Hein, Marcy, Laura, and Kamryn were friendly and professional and really cared about my care. They are a great team and I would highly recommend them!
