Excellent job! All women workers and dentists.... been my favorite for years.
At Old Oaks Dental, our team is dedicated to making every visit feel comfortable, clear, and personal. From preventive cleanings and family dentistry to restorative, cosmetic, implant, orthodontic, and emergency care, you can expect compassionate support from professionals who genuinely care about your health and experience.
Our Pleasant Prairie dental team combines trusted expertise with a warm, welcoming approach, helping patients of all ages feel informed, respected, and at ease throughout every stage of their dental care.
Dr. Dana is passionate about delivering personalized care that supports both the oral health and confidence of her patients. She offers a wide range of services, including veneers, implants, crowns, root canals, extractions, and composite bonding. Committed to lifelong learning, Dr. Dana continues to expand her skills to provide comprehensive treatment plans that improve overall well-being.
In her free time, she enjoys reading and writing, watching football on Sundays, cooking with her fiancé Brandon, spending time near the water, going on walks with her puppy Arlo, and visiting family in New Jersey. She is looking forward to getting to know each patient and providing outstanding, compassionate care.
Aaron’s approach is straightforward: he wants every patient to leave the chair not just treated, but truly informed. He takes the time to walk through each tooth and explain the reasoning behind every recommendation, so there are never any surprises. He’s a natural problem-solver who genuinely enjoys the process of listening to a patient’s concerns and crafting a plan that fits their individual needs and goals.
Outside the office, Aaron is every bit as energetic. He competes in triathlons and marathons, plays basketball and pickleball, and loves exploring national parks and hiking trails with his wife, Catia. He’s also a proud Pittsburgh Steelers fan and a self-described foodie — so if you have a great restaurant recommendation, he’s all ears.
Patients consistently describe Aaron as gentle and a good listener, and it shows. Whether you’re coming in for a routine visit or something more complex, you’ll always feel like you’re in caring, capable hands.

Driven by her desire to care for others, Samantha later enrolled at Gateway Technical College and earned her CNA license. She worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant for several years before eventually finding her way to the Old Oaks Dental team.
As a child, Samantha always appreciated how the front desk team and doctors at her dental office knew her by name and recognized her whenever she walked through the door. Today, her goal is to create that same welcoming experience and help every patient feel at home.
Samantha’s approach is centered on showing patients that their needs and well-being truly matter. She strives to treat every person with compassion and understanding, while considering their individual circumstances and ensuring that no patient ever feels like just a number.

– Administration
When it comes to welcoming new patients, Esther believes it’s not just about what you say — it’s about how you say it. She greets every person who walks through the door with a warm smile and a positive attitude, knowing that tone and delivery can set the entire tone for someone’s visit. Her goal is simple: to help in any way she can, and to make every interaction feel genuine and personal.
Outside the office, Esther is just as vibrant. You’ll likely find her at the gym, lost in a good book, or enjoying the outdoors whenever she gets the chance. She’s also a devoted movie fan and a proud aunt to five nieces and nephews who keep her wonderfully busy. When she needs to decompress, she turns to coloring — a creative outlet she truly loves. Above all, family is at the center of Esther’s world. She comes from a big, close-knit family, and that deep sense of warmth and connection is something she naturally brings with her to work every single day.
