Heather Hobbs

Registered Dental Hygienist

I have been working in the dental field since 2003 beginning my career as a dental assistant and working my way towards my degree in dental hygiene in 2013. I’m passionate about helping our patients continually improve their oral health while providing a comfortable, personal and enjoyable experience. My favorite part about working at Valley Dental Esthetics is our amazing team and our desire to provide exceptional patient care. I recently received my laser certification so that we can now offer state of the art laser bacterial reduction in our practice. I was born and raised in Walnut Creek and moved to Lodi in 2014. I spend my free time with my husband and son enjoying the outdoors. We love hiking, fishing, camping and boating.

Samantha Hall

Registered Dental Hygienist

I have been in the dental field for 13 years with the first 6 years working as a Registered Dental Assistant, and then becoming a Registered Dental Hygienist in 2017. I absolutely love being a Dental Hygienist, getting to know my patients while being able to educate them on ways to achieve optimal oral health. One thing I love about the dental field is it's always advancing and I love being able to advance and learn with the field.

My husband and I have been married for 10 years and we have 3 wonderful kids, 2 boys and 1 girl. In our spare time we love to travel as a family.
