Meet Our Team

Amber Ladner Henley is one of our registered dental hygienists. Amber has been a part of the Gulf Coast Dental Care team since June 2005. She graduated from Pearl River Community College’s Dental Hygiene Program. Amber, along with her husband Rocky, are Poplarville, MS, natives. Amber loves the beach, but for family vacations she tries to go somewhere new each year for new experiences. Her family is very important to her and here at Gulf Coast Dental Care family is always a priority. She is glad that our clinic has the latest technology to better serve and diagnose our patients; “we are constantly looking for new ways to improve patient comfort and treatment.”

Felicia has been a registered dental hygienist at Gulf Coast Dental Care since 2011. After graduating from PRCC in 2010, Felicia became licensed to practice dental hygiene in Mississippi, as well as Louisiana. Shortly after beginning work at GCDC, Felicia earned certification to perform local anesthesia in LA. In October 2016, Felicia was trained to specialize in Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT). OMT is a therapy that has been proven to reduce symptoms in conditions such as: digit/pacifier sucking, tongue thrust, TMJ dysfunction, obstructive sleep apnea and several other orofacial conditions.

Hong Nguyen has been a dental hygienist for over 15 years. She graduated from Pearl River Community College. Hong enjoys working at our office, because we strive to give each patient the best quality dental care possible in every aspect. She ensures that each patient receives high-quality care and leaves our office with a healthy smile. When not working, she enjoys spending time with her family and baking.

Jeri is one of our dental hygienists. She graduated from Pearl River Community College’s dental hygiene program. She is a Mississippi Gulf Coast native. She resides in the Kiln with her husband, Michael and two children, Lincoln and Landry Kate. Jeri joined our team in February of 2020. Her greatest desire is to be present with her children as they grow, and she loves Gulf Coast Dental Care as a career and office for allowing her to have that opportunity. She is passionate about helping patients who suffer with dental anxiety overcome their anxiousness and realize we are truly there to help them.

Andrea joined us in February 2023. She graduated with an associate degree in dental hygiene at Pearl River Community College in 2016, where she was honored with the Outstanding Dental Hygiene Award. Her academic journey does not stop there; she furthered her education with a bachelor’s degree in business marketing from the University of South Alabama.

What Andrea appreciates most about our practice is its family-oriented atmosphere. She enjoys educating our patients, particularly children and young adults, and teaching them about good habits to prevent cavities. Andrea takes great pleasure in collaborating with our doctors and team that are genuinely committed to the well-being of our patients and consistently strive for excellence.

As a dental hygienist, Andrea is both caring and informative, aiming to earn the trust of our patients by delivering top-notch dental care for them and their loved ones.

Outside the office, Andrea’s life is rich with family activities. Married for 19 years and a mother to her son, Zackery, she treasures the time spent outdoors, whether it is at Zackery’s baseball games or enjoying family vacations at the beach.
