Jess Gray
Special guest
I joined the Finger Lakes Dental Care Lab team in February of 2022, taking over as the Dental Lab Manager. We’re a small “in-house” lab in the Finger Lakes region of New York.
I have been in the dentistry field since 2014, when I started as a patient service representative and then transitioned to lab work two years later. I’m passionate about teeth and helping patients find their smiles again, and am blessed to serve my hometown community. I was born and raised in Canandaigua, NY and only left for my time in college at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, where I studied Graphic Design.
I have one teenage son Braydon, and when I’m not at work and busy being a mom, I enjoy swimming, graphic design, crafting, concerts, and exploring the Finger Lakes.
