As a father-son family practice, Skale Dental Professionals take pride in building long-lasting professional relationships and maintaining ongoing family involvement. Mollie Skale, daughter of Dr. Darryl Skale and sister to Dr. Ryan Skale, has transitioned from her role as Registered Dental Hygienist to serve as our Treatment Coordinator, continuing the family’s commitment to personalized patient care.
Talia
Operations Manager
Talia came to the office wise beyond her years. She has been trained in dental practice, and it is evident. Talia is Dr. Skale’s primary clinical assistant but has recently taken on a greater role with our front desk and administrative team, particularly on the insurance side. She can do it all, with her strength being her commitment and work ethic.
Kelly
Front Desk Coordinator
Kelly is a welcoming presence at the front desk at Skale Dental Professionals, where she serves as Front Desk Coordinator. Born in Lake Forest and raised in Libertyville, IL, Kelly brings a deep sense of community and care to her role. Her background is uniquely well-rounded, with experience in insurance, childcare, and healthcare. After graduating from Libertyville High School, she earned her insurance brokerage license and later obtained her CNA/PCT certification from the Samland Institute, working in a neurosurgeon’s office for several years. Kelly joined Skale Dental Professionals in 2025 and is passionate about helping patients feel informed, supported, and confident in their dental care, especially as they experience truly life-changing smiles.
What Kelly enjoys most about her role is connecting with patients and sharing in their happiness as they see the results of compassionate, high-quality dentistry. She values being part of a team that genuinely cares and takes the time to educate patients about their overall oral health. Outside of the office, Kelly owns a small business and loves crafting, creating, traveling, and spending time with her family. She and her husband, Steve, have been married for 25 years and are incredibly proud of their two sons, Jacob and Jackson. At home, Kelly is also kept smiling by her two dogs, Nanook the Husky, who loves to howl, and Thor the German Shepherd, the biggest, sweetest baby of the family.
Mollie Skale
Patient Advocate & Treatment Coordinator
Mollie is Dr. Darryl Skale’s oldest daughter and Dr. Ryan Skale’s younger sister. She graduated from the University of Iowa with a bachelor’s degree in science and recently obtained her dental hygiene degree from the College of Lake County, graduating as the Valedictorian of her class. Mollie has been such a welcome addition to Skale Dental and has been overwhelmingly well-received by all patients.
As the office’s first dental hygienist, she has added a new element to the office, offering a fresh look at oral health. Having her is well overdue, as her presence, personality, and the quality of care she provides to the patients have been excellent. Mollie’s great energy and positive spirit give patients a sense of comfort and ease while in her dental chair. She offers the same great quality of care and personal attention to each patient that is provided by her father and brother.
Jocelyn
New Patient Coordinator & Invisalign® Coordinator
Jocelyn joined the Skale Dental family in 2016 as a part-time assistant. Her role within the office expanded quickly, as did our need for her great teamwork. She is now an integral part of our team, providing help with just about everything in the office. She has gained immense clinical skill in a short time through the experience of working with our great doctors and trained staff.
We are very thankful for our incredible team at Skale Dental Professionals in Northbrook, IL. We really enjoy working together, and we hope it shows through positivity and good energy when you visit the office.
