Nic Baker

Dentist

As a child, Dr. Nic Baker never liked trips to the dentist. He knew the patient experience could be so much more enjoyable than it was, and he set out to fix exactly that. After completing a Bachelor of Science in exercise physiology at Illinois State University, Dr. Baker received his Doctor of Dental Medicine (D.M.D.) from the Southern Illinois School of Dental Medicine and has been practicing ever since. Dr. Baker is currently an active member in good standing with the following professional organizations.

  • American Dental Association
  • McLean County Dental Society
  • Illinois State Dental Society
  • Academy of General Dentistry
  • American Academy of Implant Dentistry

With over a decade of experience in complex oral surgeries and advanced imaging techniques, Dr. Baker uses the CEREC™ system for fabricating same-day crowns to Bloomington Modern Dentistry. With these and many other innovative dental technologies, the uncomfortable, time-consuming dental visits he disliked as a youngster are a distant memory. When he’s not pioneering new dental techniques, Dr. Baker has his hands full at home with five little boys…and three girls. His wife Erin is eternally grateful for his ability to mesmerize the kids with magic card tricks.

Carlotta

Dental Assistant

Carlotta makes every day at Bloomington Modern Dentistry a little bit brighter. Carlotta holds an Associate of Applied Science from Heartland Community College and is fully trained in the CEREC™ system, so she’ll get you on your way and back to your day in no time flat. When she’s not demonstrating expert flossing technique here at the office, Carlotta is cracking jokes with son Kace and astounding him with obscure Batman trivia.

Christy

Dental Assistant

We’re never out of gauze around here, and Christy is the reason why. This experienced dental assistant and mother of two knows how to keep us on track and well-supplied, in addition to being a pro with bicuspids and molars. Christy is always up to date on the latest dental technologies and techniques, and your teeth will feel the difference. Whether you’ve got questions about fighting plaque or the best strategy for winning a game of gin rummy, Christy has you covered. Away from the office, animal-lover Christy and her doting husband are sure to be found at the nearest wildlife park.

Crystal

Dental Hygienist

We thankfully don’t have too many kayaking contests at work, because Crystal would win every time. An experienced dental hygienist, Crystal holds credentials from the Parkland College of Dental Hygiene and is fully certified in CPR as well as the administration of local anesthetic and nitrous oxide. With over one hundred hours of continuing education and counting, she’s also an invaluable office resource. When the last molar of the day is polished and bright, Crystal can be found teaching her two girls excellent oral hygiene and dirt bike riding techniques, though not usually at the same time.

Danielle

Dental Hygienist

Ever the efficiency expert, Danielle keeps us on the straight and narrow. We’re fine with that, because she bakes a mean cheesecake. Trained as a dental hygienist at the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, Danielle brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in areas of periodontal disease and oral cancer screening. Watch for her behind the intraoral camera or gently tidying wayward incisors. This married mother of two rambunctious boys stays busy from sunrise to sunset, but she somehow finds time now and then for a relaxing float in the pool.
