Amanda RDH at Aesthetic Dentistry of Bend

Amanda Hignell-Rufener - RDH


Amanda Hignell-Rufener was raised in Bend, Oregon and has recently returned to be closer to her very large and very close family. She graduated in 2012 from Pacific University’s Dental Hygiene program, and has since practiced in Denver, Portland, and now Bend. As the youngest of five boisterous daughters, it’s no surprise that Amanda’s fun, charismatic, and compassionate personality makes our patients feel welcome and well cared for. Amanda’s philosophy for educating patients is a no-judgement approach, with guidance tailored to each patient’s individual needs. For fun, she is an avid console gamer, a lifelong comic book fan—even participating in backstage management at Denver Comic Con for the past eight years—and an even bigger fan of a great hair day. She and her husband Josh, a commercial airline pilot, share a love for international travel, home improvement projects, and their Ewok puppy, Maggie. Come meet Amanda!

Jojo - Dental Assistant


My name is JoJo and I’ve been a dental assistant for about 3 years. I was born and raised in Madras Oregon, I have no kids but I do have my dog itachi and he’s my best friend. I’m a lover for hikes and travels and I’m a big outdoors person, so Oregon is a perfect place for me. I love working in the dental field because it makes me happy to be able to help others, especially with their smile confidence.
