The Team at Montgomery Dental Care is one of the top experienced and trained dental teams in the Twin Cities. We believe when our patients stay under our care they will keep their teeth looking and feeling young for a life time:
Erin began her career in dentistry as a hygienist in 2013 and joined Montgomery Dental Care in January 2024. After over a decade of clinical experience, she recently transitioned into the role of Business Manager—a new chapter she’s excited to embrace.
While she truly loved working one-on-one with patients in hygiene and will deeply miss those daily interactions, Erin will continue to support the hygiene team and fill in as needed. This new position allows her to explore another side of dentistry, helping to lead and support the practice with the same enthusiasm, care, and commitment she brought to her patients. Erin is passionate about fostering strong, trusting relationships and brings warmth and positivity to every role she takes on.
Outside of work, Erin enjoys crafting, reading, and outdoor activities. She loves outdoor adventures and spontaneous road trips—but her greatest joy is being a mom. If you get a chance, ask her about her time in Alaska or her twin sister—but be prepared to hear more stories about her two sons, who keep her on her toes and ensures that craft projects and book reading often take a back seat to playtime and giggles.
Kristine began her dental career in 2013 as a Licensed Dental Assistant. She spent eight years in Oral Surgery before her passion for learning led her to Cosmetic Dentistry. After years of hands-on clinical experience, Kristine recently transitioned into the role of Chief Administrator—a new and exciting chapter in her dental journey.
While she truly loved working chairside and will miss the direct patient care that assisting provided, Kristine is excited to contribute to the practice in a new way, helping to lead and support the team behind the scenes. She remains deeply committed to patient care and will continue to step in as an assistant when needed. Having personally experienced many dental procedures herself, Kristine brings empathy, understanding, and clinical insight into everything she does. She’s passionate about dentistry in all its forms and is always eager to expand her knowledge and support the continued growth of Montgomery Dental Care.
When she’s not at the office, Kristine enjoys time with her family, friends, and her sweet pup, Winnie. Her favorite pastimes include traveling, biking, cooking, reading, relaxing by a bonfire, and enjoying the beauty of the St. Croix River.
I grew up on a dairy farm in Wisconsin and after graduating from the University of Minnesota, I have enjoyed being a hygienist for 27 years. The best part of my career has been getting to know my patients and helping them achieve better oral and overall heath. I’m very excited and looking forward to getting to know all my patients here and helping them achieve optimum oral health.
My husband and I love living in Afton and raising our four kids. I enjoy hiking, reading and being with friends and family.

She also loves exploring the outdoors and recently hiked Camelback Mountain in Arizona. Leaf looks forward to getting to know each patient and supporting their journey toward a healthy, happy smile.

She is passionate about educating patients on the important connection between oral and overall health, and she strives to make every visit as comfortable and positive as possible. Sarah lives in Cottage Grove with her husband and daughter, where they’ve spent most of the past 23 years, aside from a five-year adventure living in Anchorage, Alaska—an experience she highly recommends!

She especially loves Minnesota summers and takes advantage of every sunny day spent outdoors. Sarah is excited to join Montgomery Dental Care and looks forward to meeting the wonderful long-standing patients. She is proud to be part of a team led by Dr. Montgomery and Dr. Wolken, who are known for their commitment to excellence.
