"Stacey was extremely valuable while I was creating my startup dental office two years ago. I hired her to create a business plan, which I used to obtain a business loan and served as the backbone to my new office. Her expertise provided the information and confidence I needed to pursue my dream. She was responsive, professional, detail-oriented, and a pleasure to work with. I am so grateful!"

“ I am truly grateful for having the opportunity to be a part of Stacey's EFDA program.
This was a true game-changer for my career in dentistry. The course not only expanded my clinical skills but gave me the confidence and competence to take on a more advanced and impactful role in the dental world.
Stacey throughout the program, guided us hands on and truly pushed us to be
the best that we could be!
Implementing EFDA training into a practice is truly a win-win, it allows dental teams to work more efficiently and gives assistants the opportunity to contribute at a higher level. From placing restorations to managing patient care more independently, I’ve seen firsthand how this role supports both patient satisfaction and practice productivity.
Personally, this program opened doors for me professionally and helped me grow in ways I hadn’t imagined. I’m grateful for the guidance and support from Stacey throughout the course. Her dedication and passion to our success made all the difference.
I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to elevate their career and make a real impact in the dental field. “

"Becoming an EFDA has been a big step forward in my career. I was a licensed dental therapist
in my home country, so dentistry has always been a
part of my life. Starting over in a new country wasn’t easy, especially when
I didn’t know what my next step should be or if I was ready to go back to school.
The EFDA program gave me a way to stay in the field I love. It helped me build new skills, gain confidence, and feel connected to my profession again.
I’m not just assisting; I’m performing hands-on procedures and playing a bigger role
in patient care. This program isn’t just for internationally trained professionals like me. It’s also a great opportunity for dental assistants who want to grow, gain
advanced skills and feel more empowered in their work.
For anyone with a dental background who isn’t ready or able to go back to school full-time,
EFDA is a meaningful way to keep moving forward.
I’m truly grateful for this experience. It opened doors for me, gave me purpose, and made me feel like I’m right where I belong."

" Utilizing an Expanded Function Dental Assistant (EFDA) has been revolutionary for our busy dental practice. It has significantly increased our efficiency, allowing me to spend more time with patients—particularly during hygiene checks. Additionally, it has enabled us to see more patients each day, resulting in a more productive and streamlined workflow. Importantly, our EFDA has experienced valuable professional growth opportunities and well-deserved pay increases—benefits that wouldn’t have been possible without this expanded role."

"I had the pleasure of meeting Stacey Singleton five years ago when I joined AADOM. She was and currently is the president and founder of our local AADOM chapter. During this time, she has shown amazing leadership. Any challenge that comes her way is worked out smoothly and professionally. She has proven to be the go-to person with her welcoming personality, dental and business knowledge, and honesty. Her calm, fun persona attracts everyone around and we all know that if she doesn’t already know the answer to a question, she will find out.
Stacey is a true mentor, leaving the ladder down for others. She creates opportunities to allow those around her to grow professionally and personally as both people and leaders themselves. She is always encouraging others around her, providing any support needed. She is a person to listen and look up to.
Stacey has grown the local chapter to unexpected numbers across Maine and other states. When given a project, she takes it on full force and truly invests herself in it.
It has been a true pleasure getting to know Stacey over the years. I am happy to say she not only is a great colleague, but also a great friend."
"It is rare to find someone who is as compassionate, knowledgeable, and skilled at what they do as Stacey. Her personal brand of proactive leadership is an incredible asset which she has cultivated over her career, drawing on personal experience as an expanded function dental assistant, office administrator, president of the Maine Dental Leadership Coalition, and program director of an EFDA training program. Her deep insight into the unique benefits and challenges of training and utilizing expanded function dental assistants has served as a force multiplier for our practice. She has consistently gone above and beyond to ensure the smooth integration of new practices into our office, managing the transition with professionalism and care. Her experience, efficiency, attention to detail, and friendly demeanor has made every step of the journey into a positive experience. "

"Stacey Singleton has been an invaluable asset to our York County Community College in developing and executing our expanded function dental auxiliary training program. Her dedication and passion for meeting the needs of both our employers and students is truly exceptional. Stacey's creativity and organizational skills have been instrumental in creating solutions that have greatly benefited our program. We are grateful for her hard work and commitment to making a difference in the workforce in Maine. Thank you, Stacey, for all that you do!"
Stacey & I started our dental career together in oral surgery over 20 years ago. In that time, Stacey developed solid skills in project management, team development and referral relationship building. Never one to back down from a challenge, Stacey has managed not only one but two successful dental practices. Fast forward many years, her persuasion skills led me to join her on the American Association of Dental Office Managers (AADOM) board for our Maine chapter. She is passionate about sharing her knowledge of all things dentistry including clinical aspects, running the front office, and practice administration. Her role as President on the board highlights her ability to be organized, motivating, and fun! Stacey has an amazing talent of making everyone feel special - whether that be a handwritten card or just the right little goodie to make someone smile. I feel lucky to be able to call Stacey not only a colleague but also a friend.
