She also loves spending time with her family, whether that’s cooking together, exploring new places, or simply enjoying a good laugh at home.

Hi, I’m Nichole… but everyone just calls me Nikkie!
I’m the dental assistant who’s always ready with a smile, a joke, or a calming chat—whatever you need to feel comfy in the chair at Red Sun Dental. I joined Dr. Simmons in 2022, and ever since then, I’ve loved meeting new faces, helping people relax, and turning nervous appointments into “Hey, that wasn’t so bad!” moments. Nothing makes me happier than seeing someone leave with a confident grin!
When I’m not rocking my scrubs, I’m out living my best life with my husband, kiddos, and our two dogs who act like they run the house. We love camping, exploring the outdoors, and making as many silly, memory-filled moments as possible.
If you’re looking for someone who truly loves teeth and people… you found her!
Hi! I’m Gabby, a registered dental hygienist with a passion for healthy smiles and happy patients. With a gentle touch and a love for patient education, I’m all about making your dental visits feel less stressful–and dare I say enjoyable!
I specialize in preventative care, patient comfort, and turning “I hate coming to the dentist” into “That wasn’t so bad!” When I’m not polishing pearly whites, you’ll find me unwinding with a good series or cherishing my time as a new parent.
Let’s keep those smiles shining bright–one cleaning at a time!
Hi, I’m Carmen! I’ve been working with Dr. Simmons since she took over the practice in 2019. I truly enjoy helping our patients feel cared for during their visits — it’s one of the best parts of what I do!
When I’m not in the office, you can usually find me enjoying a sunny day at the lake, camping, or heading to a music festival.
Hi, I’m Carolyn! I’m a Registered Dental Hygienist, and I’ve been brightening smiles since 2020—bringing with me a decade of experience as a dental assistant. I’m passionate about helping my patients feel comfortable, confident, and cared for, and I love being part of their journey toward healthier, happier smiles.
When I’m not in the office, I enjoy spending time with my family and my two lovable dogs. I’m happiest outdoors—whether I’m camping, hunting, or exploring trails on a SxS. I’m also a book lover, an adventure seeker, and a proud San Francisco 49ers fan (go Niners!).
I strive to make every visit a positive and comfortable experience, and I truly love what I do.
