Meet Our Team
Reilly P. - Hygienist, RDH and Myofunctional Therapist, OMT
Reilly grew up in Massachusetts, where her family settled after her dad served in the Army for over 20 years. Growing up with a nurse for a mom, she knew from an early age that she wanted a career in healthcare centered around helping others and building meaningful relationships.
After seeing her sister work in a dental office, Reilly discovered that dentistry offered a unique opportunity to combine patient care, education, and long-term relationships in a way that truly resonated with her. She graduated from Tennessee State University with her degree in Dental Hygiene and has now been working in the dental field for over 10 years. Reilly has expanded her education and become an Orofacial Myofunctional Therapist, practicing within Sanitas Family Dentistry.
Reilly and her husband, Mark, moved to Colorado when his soccer career brought them west, and they quickly fell in love with Colorado. Mark is currently the Boys Elite Director for the Colorado Storm Soccer Association, and together they have built a wonderful life in Colorado alongside their dog, Scotia. Although she loves calling Colorado home, Reilly still misses her large East Coast family as the youngest of five siblings and aunt to fourteen amazing nieces and nephews.
Outside the office, Reilly enjoys playing basketball and volleyball whenever she gets the chance and cheering on her New England Patriots and Boston Celtics.
Reilly is passionate about providing high-quality, personalized patient care and creating a welcoming experience for every patient she meets. She is thrilled to be part of the team at Sanitas, working alongside Dr. Beseda and the exceptional staff to continue delivering outstanding care to the community.

Lisa H. - Hygienist, RDH, BS
Lisa is a native of the Chicago area, and attended Marquette University where she received her BS in Dental Hygiene. During her college summers, she worked as a pediatric dental assistant, gaining valuable hands-on experience. Lisa has been practicing dental hygiene since 2001- celebrating 25 years in her career.
Lisa moved to Colorado in 2017 with her husband and 2 children. As her children’s involvement in extracurricular activities has grown, Lisa’s favorite pastime has become attending their games and special events. She enjoys the flexibility of her part-time career, which allows her to volunteer at her children’s school, serve on the PTO board, and actively support her family.
Lisa enjoys long walks with her Labrador, Lulu, and coffee dates with friends. She also loves cooking, skiing with her family, traveling to new places, and cherishing every opportunity to spend time with her family in the Midwest.
Lisa has been a valued member of the Sanitas Family Dentistry team since 2021, and takes great pride in contributing to the exceptional care and welcoming environment the practice provides. Before joining the team, she had the opportunity to work alongside Dr. Krista at a previous office, making their reunion at Sanitas especially rewarding.
Veronika C. - Hygienist
Veronika was born and raised in Kentucky where she received her degree in dental hygiene. In 2019 she and her husband moved to Colorado to live in the beautiful Rocky Mountains and haven’t looked back.
In her free time, Veronika likes to be outside, practice yoga, read, and spend time with her husband, Deven, and daughter, Eliza. On her days off you can often find her hiking, backpacking or camping with her family.
Veronika is thrilled to become part of the team at Sanitas and take care of the wonderful patients here. She loves making people feel great about their smile and is excited to work with Dr. Beseda and the rest of the staff.
Kai S. - Chairside Assistant/Hygiene Assistant
Hi, my name is Kai! I’m a proud Colorado Springs native and a current student at CU Boulder. I am majoring in Integrated Physiology on the Pre-Dental track. Alongside my science coursework, I'm also pursuing a minor in Business Entrepreneurship. I am actively preparing for dental school with the ultimate goal of specializing in oral surgery.
I am deeply ingrained in the campus and community through various projects. I take an active role in CU Boulder's Student Government, as well as being a dedicated member of the Pre-Dental Club. To further my commitment to both dentistry and service, I founded the Global Dental Brigades chapter at CU Boulder, where I am leading a group of students on a trip to Panama to deliver essential dental care to underrepresented communities. In addition to this, I volunteer with Boulder Public Library to do reading buddies. I enjoy this because it gives me a chance to work 1-on-1 with a child who is struggling with English reading and writing proficiency.
Having lived in Colorado my entire life, I have a deep love for the outdoors and use it to maintain a great balance with my academic schedule. When I'm not in the classroom or gaining valuable hands-on experience in the dental office, you can usually find me staying active outside. I love hitting the mountains to snowboard in the winter, and year-round, I just love to get out and run.
