About Charles J. Dressman, Jr., DDS
Born in Cumberland, MD, I met my wife Diane while we attended the University of Notre Dame in 1979. We were married in 1983 and have three children: Danny, Brian, and Julianne. After graduating from the University of Maryland Dental school, I spent three years in the US Navy Dental Corps at Moffett Field and have been in private practice since 1987. It sounds cliché, but I chose health care because I really enjoy working with people and helping others. Diane and I were a lead couple of our church's social outreach program and I spent ten wonderful years coaching youth football, basketball and baseball. I am blessed to have a talented staff with great interpersonal skills and the concern and compassion you should expect in a dental office. We are committed to your health and comfort and appreciate the opportunity to provide your care.

Angie
Registered Dental Assistant
In 2003, I graduated from college to receive my Registered Dental Assistant certification. Since then I have continued to keep my studies up in the dental field and am certified in various specialties such as TMD, Sleep Apnea, and Orthodontics. I have been in the dental field for more than 12 years, and I really love and enjoy every part of my job. Helping my patients is my number one priority. I have been here with Dr. Dressman since 2014 and I am extremely fortunate to find such a great group of staff and patients to share my days with.

Sandra
Insurance Coordinator
I entered the dental field in 2003 and worked my way to consulting and management. While I've enjoyed every aspect of dentistry, I found my niche behind the scenes doing insurance claim recovery. Here at Dr. Dressman's, I have the opportunity to work on our patient's behalf, collecting from insurance companies while enjoying other aspects of the job. And I get to do this in a fun family environment with friendly and professional coworkers! In my spare time, I enjoy spending long weekends away at the coast with my husband, sharing his love of photography.

Kristina
Registered Dental Hygienist
I have been in the dental field since 2004 when I started as a dental assistant. I decided to pursue a career in dental hygiene and graduated from Carrington in 2013. I joined Dr. Dressman's staff in June 2017 and I am delighted to part of this special team. My husband Tim and I are both San Jose natives, we have a daughter, Tessa, 2 cats, and 2 dogs. I enjoy running, kickboxing, fishing, and making jewelry.

Philana
Scheduling Coordinator
I have been in the Dental field since 1996. During my career, I’ve enjoyed working as a Dental Assistant and Insurance and Scheduling Coordinator. As a San Jose native myself, I am happy to help my fellow neighbors with their dental needs. In 2016, I decided to look for employment closer to home since my daughter was going to be starting Kindergarten here in Willow Glen. I am very happy to say that I enjoy working with such a kindhearted man. He not only treats his staff like family but his patients as well. I look forward to seeing you at the office or in the neighborhood.
