Permanent Jewelry, Teeth Whitening, Event Coordinator

Kelly Hocher RDH

Growing up, I always imagined staying a South Side Chicago girl forever. But, after a campus tour in Carbondale, IL, I fell in love with the area and pursued my Bachelor of Science Degree in Dental Hygiene from Southern Illinois University. GO SALUKIS!

After college, I ventured over  to Saint Louis. Fast forward 15 plus years, and  I have built a life here in Saint Louis. As a dental hygienist I worked in public health and private practices. I have been a clinical instructor for a college Dental Hygiene Associate program as well. With all of my knowledge, experience, and love of helping others i helped create Studio Magnolia. 

At Studio Magnolia, I aim to provide you with the best teeth whitening experience and ensure you are happy with long-lasting results. Additionally, I offer the latest trend in jewelry - permanent jewelry. It is customized to fit your wrist, ankle, or neck and welded shut to remain in place for as long as you desire.                                                                                                                                
I'm happy to answer any questions you have about teeth whitening, permanent jewelry, events, or my business!
