Chelsea Homire

e becoming a certified dental assistant in 2010, Chelsea has developed a strong passion for digital dentistry. After completing her CDA at Missouri College and acquiring expanded functions, she then gained experience working in multiple dental offices over a decade.

Chelsea had the privilege to dive into 3D printing alongside Dr Dan Pernoud at Lily Dental in Creve Coure. Collaborating with him has helped elevate her career and opened doors to new possibilities like teaching and consulting. When not taking care of her family (including her daughter Eleanor, husband Steve, cat, and two dogs) and managing several rental houses with her husband, she is working in office, serving as the office's only lab technician. Her office utilizes SprintRay 3D printing system by utilizing it to fabricate dentures, occlusal guards, surgical guides, models, and more. Chelsea's office is a fully digital office, and have thrown away our stone grinder, alginate mixer, and impression trays.

In addition to MADAA, her perspective as a dental assistant brings valuable insights into the world of digital dentistry. Chelsea contributes to the community by teaching assistants from all around the world through online platforms including the Institute of Digital Dentistry, Blue Sky Bio, and The Academy of Chairside Assisting. She creates YouTube videos that provide practical guidance for implementing digital dentistry and 3D printing into daily practice, presented using a realistic approach that prepares dental assistants for real-world scenarios.
