Kim Hale

Registered Dental Hygienist

Hello, I’m Kim Hale! I am a Registered Dental Hygienist at Southern Smiles Dental and have over 20 years of experience in the dental field. I have a passion for helping my patients achieve optimal health for their mouth, as well as make them feel at ease during the dental treatment.

When I’m not at the office, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Michael, and our two daughters.

Cheryl Studebaker

Registered Dental Hygienist

Hello, I’m Cheryl Studebaker and I am a Registered Dental Hygienist at Southern Smiles Dental. I was born in Opelika, Alabama. I began working in a dental practice as a front desk receptionist and office manager when I was 22 years old. I became a Registered Dental Hygienist at age 26 and moved to Birmingham in 1983. I retired in 2019 but came out of retirement to work for Dr. Guthrie. 

I’m never bored with my profession! It’s been a fun 45 years!

Destiny

Certified Dental Assistant

I’m Destiny and I’m originally from Boaz, Alabama. I graduated from Wallace State Community College in 2019 before joining Southern Smiles Dental as a Certified Dental Assistant alongside Dr. Kyatt. It’s incredibly fulfilling to be part of a team that works diligently to restore the smiles of our community members.

Beyond dentistry, I find joy in spending quality time with my family and furry canine companion, exploring the great outdoors through activities like kayaking and trail riding.

Keionna

Dental Assistant

Hello, I’m Keionna! I’ve been working as a dental assistant since 2013, and I absolutely love what I do. Patient care is my top priority, and I thoroughly enjoy building meaningful relationships with both my patients and my co-workers. Outside of the dental office, I cherish spending quality time with my daughter—it’s my favorite way to unwind and recharge. I’m excited to be part of this team and look forward to contributing to our patients’ smiles every day!

Brooke

Front Desk Receptionist / Coordinator

Hi, I’m Brooke! As the front desk receptionist and coordinator, I take joy in providing a warm welcome to our patients and ensuring their appointments are set up seamlessly. Comforting patients during their initial appointments is truly rewarding for me. Outside of work, you’ll often find me exploring nature through hiking trips with friends. And yes, I may have a soft spot for cats—some even call me a “crazy cat lady”! I’m thrilled to be part of this team and look forward to assisting you with your dental needs.
