Meet Nikki - Dental Assistant
Nikki became a part of Harbor Dental in December of 2000 on the day it first opened. She has been a consistently reliable team member and has worked hard to make sure her patients are well taken care of and enjoy their experience. She has been a certified dental assistant for 10 years and received her degree from the Solano County Regional Occupation Program. Nikki became Dr. Swoboda’s chair side assistant in August of 2003 when Dr. Swoboda took over as the owner at Harbor Dental.
Nikki knows her patients very well and really enjoys the family oriented environment provided by the community of Benicia. She chose the dental field because she wanted to work directly with people, have fun, and help the patient have a great dental experience. She also loves being able to help patients attain healthy mouths.
Some things Nikki likes to do when she is not at Harbor Dental are, hiking, working out at the gym, and spending time with her family and friends. She also likes to play with her young niece when she has time.

Meet Tracy - Registered Dental Assistant & Hygienist
Tracy began her career in dentistry in 1996 as a registered dental assistant here in California. It was not long until she decided to advance her career in the dental industry. In 1999 she went to school to become a dental hygienist in Idaho, where her family lived. She came back to California and received her board certification in dental hygiene.
Although she has only recently joined the team at Harbor Dental in May of 2010, she has practiced dental hygiene in private practice since 2001. As one of two dental hygienists at Harbor Dental, Tracy brings a unique enthusiasm and a contagious positive attitude for healthy oral care. Her favorite part about private practice is getting to know her patients and their families throughout the years.
Tracy loves living in California and enjoys spending time on beautiful Clear Lake where her parents have retired. She is blessed with wonderful family and friends and comes home to two terrific dachshunds, Mia and Moe.
