Get to know Dentist Dr. Cynthia Allen, who serves patients in Las Vegas, Nevada.

A graduate of the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, Dr. Allen opened SummerHills Dental in Las Vegas, Nevada in 1994 with a vision of providing affordable, compassionate, and comprehensive cosmetic and general dental treatment for the entire family. 

Utilizing the latest techniques and advanced dental technology, her passion is to change the lives of patients by helping them feel more confident with themselves by giving them the smile that they love and aren’t afraid to show. “Our mission is to provide our patients with the highest caliber of cosmetic dentistry that delivers long term function, and a striking appearance in a comfortable and relaxing environment. Along with cosmetic dentistry, we specialize in implant dentistry and family dentistry as well” as stated on her website. 

Helping patients reach the smile of their dreams, Dr. Allen is an active member of the American Dental Association, the Nevada Dental Association, and the Southern Nevada Dental Society. 

Finding joy in giving back to the community, she volunteers for some of the many programs in Las Vegas that give dental care to individuals that otherwise would not be afforded dental health. Programs like these include: Huntridge Teen Clinic, Southern Nevada One-Day Kids Program, Donated Dental Services, and Smiles for Survivors which provides dental treatment for patients who have undergone cancer treatment and suffered from dental consequences. 

Dentistry, also known as Dental and Oral Medicine, is a branch of medicine that consists of the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the oral cavity. Dentists diagnose and treat dental issues and help patients develop better oral hygiene regimens. They clean teeth, correct bite issues, perform surgeries and extractions, and perform other duties to ensure that the teeth and mouth are healthy. 

As a resident of Summerlin herself, Dr. Allen enjoys spending her time away from the office with her family. Her hobbies include biking, snowboarding, hiking, and eating Bluebell ice cream.
