Office Manager

Hi! I'm Teresa and I've been working front office in the dental field for 19 years. I love the relationships we develop with our patients. Helping patients improve their dental health and smile is so rewarding! I moved here in 2018 from Sonoma County with my husband Joel. I love the weather and endless supply of activities in Las Vegas but sure do miss the wineries! We have four grown kids between us, two grandsons and a granddaughter on the way! We love camping in our travel trailer and exploring new areas. It's always an adventure!

Amy

Practice Optimizer

Hi, I’m Amy! I have been a resident of Las Vegas for over 20+ years and even though I am originally from Southern California, this is “Home” to me. I have been in the dental field since 2008 and have been working for Desert Hills Dental since 2014. I enjoy working at Desert Hills Dental because of the response that patients have coming to our office. Going to the dentist is already a scary thing for people, but our patients, leave feeling like they just came from visiting, friends/family. Or they feel like they have just met a new group of friends and have changed their vision of going to the dentist. I work very hard at making sure everything runs smoothly at Desert Hills Dental and I am always ready to give a helping hand. I love seeing our patients leave our office with big smiles and hearing about their amazing experiences. When I am not in the office, I enjoy spending time with my long-time boyfriend and children. I love to shop! Especially for shoes and purses. I also love trying new places to eat (especially seafood) and going to concerts. =)

I am originally from New Mexico but moved to Las Vegas in 2020. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and my three amazing “bonus” kids.

I’m married with no kids yet, just a 5-year-old fur baby named Byon.

Lisa Byington

Dental Assistant

My name is Lisa and I'm from Utah. I've lived in Nevada since 2018 with my husband. I have 2 daughters, 1 stepson, all of whom are married, and 5 grandkids. Yes, I am a "granma".
I have been a dental assistant for 10 years and have loved it. The last 5 1/2 has been in an adult detention center, aka private prison. I have missed being able to connect with and have a personal rapport with my patients. Which is what brought me to Desert Hills Dental.
I love rainstorms. My favorite smells are rain and campfire. I love the mountains, anywhere green, really. Most of all, I love spending time with my littles, family, friends, and relaxing.

Hi! I am Shannon. I have been in the dental field since 2008, starting as an assistant. I absolutely LOVE the relationships I have forged with patients and teammates. I find this profession to be very fulfilling. I have been married to an Englishman (accent and all) for 18 years, and I have two grown sons who I want to be like when I grow up. :) In my off time, I am currently in three bands as a vocalist and bassist. Music is my oxygen, my Zen, my happy place. I love the bond I share with my bandmates. Fun fact: I am an avid football lover. I played in the WFA, a pro women’s football team (yes, real NFL rules…pads and all), and coached peewee football. I am a huge Longhorns and 49ers fan!
