Ellie Hammack

Dental Hygienist

Ellie graduated with an associate of applied science degree from the Indian Hills Community College dental hygiene program. She joined Lakewood Dental Group in October 2021. At our practice, she enjoys working alongside knowledgeable and caring doctors that provide excellent treatment for each of their patients, and she loves getting to know each and every patient and building relationships along the way. Ellie contributes to our practice’s success by striving to help patients feel relaxed and comfortable while also providing them with a gentle yet thorough cleaning. She prioritizes educating patients about their dental hygiene to help ensure each patient achieves their overall goal of having a healthy, beautiful smile.

Ellie is originally from southeast Iowa, where her family still lives. She loves to visit her family and to have them visit her in Texas. Ellie spent the last year living in St. Louis, Missouri, before coming to Texas, and she loves exploring Dallas and all it has to offer. In her free time, she enjoys spending time outdoors, golfing, boating, going to concerts, watching St. Louis Cardinals baseball and, of course, spending time with her dog, Norman.
