Dental Hygienist
Gerry Blanke
Gerry is a dental hygienist who blends clinical experience with a genuinely kind chairside manner. He performs cleanings, periodontal maintenance, and preventive exams at Modern Smiles, and he's known for taking the extra few minutes to explain what's happening so patients leave feeling informed rather than lectured. Gerry is especially attentive to patients with periodontal concerns and those who haven't been to the dentist in a while — meeting them where they are, judgment-free, and building a care plan they can actually stick with. He works closely with Dr. Tajik and Dr. Hamoui to make sure preventive care supports every patient's long-term cosmetic and restorative goals.
