LAS VEGAS - Key Persons
My name is Maria Villegas, and I have been living in Las Vegas for the past 25 years. I have worked as a dental assistant for over twenty years. The best highlight of my job is interacting with patients and being a part of transforming their smiles! During my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, whether we are eating together, talking or watching movies!
My practice philosophies consist of treating every patient in a way that I would like to be treated. I make sure to educate and motivate my patients so that they can prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and other dental-related diseases. When given the opportunity to work with Dr. Hollingshead who is very well known and respected, I did not hesitate to accept his offer of joining and ultimately purchasing his practice. I received my Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry with honors, from the University of Minnesota. I continued my education at the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry where I received my Doctor of Dental Surgery at age 24. Immediately after graduation, I started my first practice in Minneapolis. In 2000 my family and I moved to Las Vegas. I owned and operated few dental offices throughout the Las Vegas Valley- Westcliff Dental, Eclipse Dental, and Aary Dental.
