Calie Kloke, DMD
I was born and raised in Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa, where I had the most incredible childhood. There truly is no place like it, the smells, the animals, the food, and amazing people. If you ever get the chance… GO!
In 1998 I hopped on a plane for the first time in my life and came to the USA as a Rotary Exchange Student and spent a year at South Medford High school. My plan was to head back to South Africa upon completion of my exchange program to follow a path in medicine but my year here was so amazing and opened me up to so many things I had never experienced, that I decided to stay and go to college here.
I graduated from Southern Oregon University and then went up to Portland where I attended OHSU for my doctorate in dental medicine. After graduating in 2010 I decided to come back to the Rogue Valley and settle down back at “home” where I am now raising two boys, Elliot and Digby.
Southern Oregon is a gem and I love all the outdoors that sit right on my doorstep and try do at least 2 backpacking trips each summer! I have an amazing community in this valley and love the life I have here. Travel is something I love and I’ve been so blessed to be able to go back to Africa multiple times to visit family and get my fix of African soil!
This is a small part of me and my story. I would love to get to know you more because one blessing about dentistry is the ability to really connect with the patients I get to serve.

Our Dental Hygienists
Jackie
I was born in Minnesota but grew up in Southern Oregon, where I now have the joy of raising three incredible kids - Lexi, Emily, and Ty - with my amazing husband, Ryan. We love spending time together camping, exploring the outdoors, and cheering each other on at every sports event. Watching my kids play and grow in the same community I love has been one of the greatest gifts.

I’ve been working as a dental hygienist since 2010, and I can honestly say I still love what I do. Being part of someone’s oral health journey - and helping them feel confident in their smile is something I never take for granted. I strive to make every patient feel comfortable, cared for, and listened to.
Working at Mint Dental with Dr. Kloke has been an absolute blessing. Dr. Kloke’s passion for dentistry and her genuine care for each patient inspires me every day, and I’m so proud to be part of a team that shares the same heart for our community.
Sarah
Born and raised in Southern Oregon, I now have the joy of continuing my adventure here with my amazing husband. On the weekends I enjoy getting out in the sunshine by camping, fishing, hunting, and floating down the rogue river. In the colder months I enjoy crocheting and reading by a nice warm heater.
-
I graduated with my BSDH from OIT in 2024, making me newer to the dental game. However, Dr. Kloke has been inspiring and supporting me since the beginning when I was just a mere patient of hers. Mint Dental sent frequent encouragement throughout my education process and even let me shadow in both hygiene and restorative procedures. It was my dream to return back to her office post-graduating and join such an amazing team of women that continue to inspire me day in and day out.
I look forward to the many years to come working with Dr. Kloke and the rest of the Mint Dental team. Being able to deliver such a high standard of patient care has continued to fuel my drive for preventive dentistry. It is such a rewarding feeling being able to help bring confidence back to patient’s smiles
Morgan
Originally from Iowa - yes, the land of corn - I’ve been a dental hygienist for over five years, following three and a half years as a dental assistant. My love for dentistry started young (I was that rare kid who looked forward to dental appointments), and now I get to help others actually enjoy coming to the dentist, too!
-
I believe in treating more than just teeth - we’re caring for real people with real stories, and that’s what makes this job so fun. Working with Dr. Kloke and this amazing team of women makes every day feel less like “work” and more like something I genuinely look forward to.
When I’m not in the office, you’ll find me out hiking, hanging with my Australian Shepherd (who thinks he runs the house), or refereeing between my two cats. I’m a big fan of staying active, live music, movies, and a good laugh - preferably all in the same weekend.
Our Dental Assistants
Danielle
I’m originally from the bay area, California but moved to Southern Oregon as a pre-teen and have called it home ever since. When out of the office, you can find me spending time with my husband, my family and my sweet furbaby - Jovie, or hiking trials around the valley, or getting messy in the kitchen making treats for my peeps.
-
I’ve been in the dental field for about six years now, and I truly love what I do. In the office, you can find me chair side to assist in helping our patients feel comfortable and at ease (the best they can in a dental office.) The opportunity to aid in not only our patient’s smiles, confidence and oral health, but getting to know each one and their stories, is what keeps me passionate about what I do.
We are very lucky to have some of the best patients in the valley. I genuinely feel appreciated - not just by the amazing team I have the privilege of working alongside every day, but also by the patients who walk through our doors.
Working at Mint Dental with Dr. Kloke has been an absolute blessing. Dr. Kloke’s passion for dentistry and her genuine care for each patient inspires me every day, and I’m so proud to be part of a team that shares the same heart for our community.
Kierra
I was born and raised in Southern Oregon and spend my free time surrounded by the people I love. When I’m not at work, you’ll usually find me spending time with my husband, kids, and family. I live for the sunshine - summer is my favorite season - and I’m happiest when I’m by the water or enjoying live music at a concert.
-
I’ve been in the dental field for about three years now, and I can truly say I love what I do. Helping patients feel calm, comfortable, and confident in the dental chair is what drives me every day. There’s nothing better than seeing someone walk out with a big, happy smile - knowing I was part of making that happen is the best feeling.
Working at Mint Dental has been such a gift. The positive, uplifting vibe in our office is something I’m so proud to be a part of. I’m incredibly thankful for the amazing team I get to work with - we support each other every day and always put our patients first.
Together, we do everything we can to make sure every visit is a great one.
Office Manager
Crystal
I was born and raised in Southern Oregon and now have the joy of raising two amazing kids with my wonderful husband. I grew up playing sports in the valley and now love watching my kids grow up doing the same. Family, community, and connection have always been at the heart of who I am.
-
I’ve been in the dental field since I was 19, and I’ve been fortunate to work alongside Dr. Kloke since the very start of her career. She is truly an inspiration in the world of dentistry, and I feel incredibly lucky to be part of a team led by someone so passionate and dedicated to patient care.
What I love most about dentistry is the opportunity to make a real difference in people’s lives. Helping someone feel confident in their smile and watching that positivity carry into other parts of their life is something I never get tired of seeing. It’s more than a job, it’s a privilege.
Receptionist

Born and raised in the stunning Oregon wilderness. I grew up riding dirt bikes and camping year round. My husband and I have two amazing daughters and together we enjoy making each other laugh. When I’m not at work you can find me gardening, baking or relaxing in our pool.
