Our Hygienists

Melanie

I graduated from Grand Rapids Community College’s Dental Hygiene Program in 2022 and I am very excited to be working at Solt Family Dental. I grew up in the Grandville/Wyoming area and love working in the community that I’ve been a part of my entire life. I love building relationships with patients and getting to know them while supporting them and educating them on their oral health. 

I love the preventative aspect of dental hygiene and working with patients to build and establish healthy habits. Two of my favorite dental devices are electric toothbrushes and waterflossers. 

Outside of the office, I love to spend time with my boyfriend, Matt. We both love making things from scratch… including homemade pasta! I also love to go for walks and spend time outside and enjoying Michigan’s seasons. 

Ashley

I attended Ferris State University and graduated from their dental hygiene program in 2013. I have been working as a hygienist since and started at Solt Family Dental in October 2024. 

I love helping people develop healthy oral habits in order to maintain overall healthy bodies and achieve their dental goals.  Patient relationships are extremely important to me not only to build trust on a professional level, but to provide comfort to everyone who walks through our doors. 

Outside of work I enjoy vacationing, reading, crafting and spending time with my husband and our 3 children. All of my kids are involved in sports and activities outside of school so they keep my husband and I very busy! We also have a place on Hamlin lake in Ludington so our summers are spent there on our boat!

Keyrsten

I have been in the dental field since 1999 and found my professional home and family here in 2000. I like the time I spend with our patients, learning about their families and interests, and building trust. With trust comes a willingness to listen to my advice so patients are able to keep their smiles healthy.

In addition to regular and periodontal cleanings, I take X-rays, offer preventive treatments, and provide lots of patient education. Each person has their own oral hygiene concerns, so I talk them through what they can do, at home, to improve and maintain their dental health.

I spend much of my free time with my husband and two sons. My boys play sports, so I spend a lot of time cheering them on. I also love being outside; my favorite place to relax is at the beach.
