We enjoy working as a team to provide our patients with excellent,
comfortable care.
Dr. Noorda
Dr.
Brett Noorda was born and raised in Las Vegas. He graduated with
honors from Valley High School in 1986. After a year of college,
Dr. Noorda served two years as a missionary for the LDS Church.
He then returned to college and in 1992 graduated Cum Laude from
Brigham Young University with a B.S. in Zoology and a minor in the
Humanities. He received his D.M.D. degree from the Oregon Health
Sciences University School of Dentistry in Portland, Oregon, graduating
with Honors in 1996. After graduation, Dr. Noorda returned to Las
Vegas to join his father in dental practice and has been practicing
general and cosmetic dentistry in the area since.
Dr. Noorda is dedicated to furthering his dental
education in order to provide the most comprehensive, research-proven
yet cutting-edge dental care available. He attends Dental Continuing
Education courses frequently to learn about new research, techniques,
materials, and ideas in dentistry and to reinforce and refresh his
knowledge and understanding of standard techniques and materials.
While Nevada law requires only 12 units of continuing education
per year for a dentist to maintain a license, Dr. Noorda has averaged
over 50 units each year since he began practicing.
Dr. Noorda maintains memberships in many dental
organizations in order to remain at the cutting edge of dental education
and development, as well as to become involved in service. He is
working to earn a Fellowship degree in the Academy of General Dentistry,
an organization dedicated to helping dentists develop exceptional
skills in all aspects of dentistry. In the American Academy of Cosmetic
Dentistry Dr. Noorda is working to become fully accredited in cosmetic
dentistry. As a member of the American Association of Endodontists,
he keeps abreast of the latest developments in root canal treatment.
He also maintains membership in the American Dental Association,
the Nevada Dental Association and the Clark County Dental Society.
Finally, he is a member of the Academy of LDS Dentists, which is
primarily a service organization that provides dental services to
those in need throughout the world.
Away from the office Dr. Noorda has many interests.
He loves being outdoors and greatly enjoys nature. Some favorite
outdoor activities include vegetable and flower gardening, astronomy,
camping, mountain biking, and water and snow skiing/boarding. He
also enjoys sports of all kinds like basketball, softball, tennis,
and horseshoes. When not outside playing, Dr. Noorda loves to read,
cook, tinker on the piano, dabble in watercolors, and listen to
all kinds of music. Culturally, Dr. Noorda loves opera, musicals,
plays, and even the ballet—although you’ll never catch
him in tights. He is very active as a member of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints, and truly enjoys the opportunities
it gives him to serve others. Above all, however, Dr. Noorda’s
greatest love is spending time with his wife and kids. From bedtime
stories to soccer games, homework to road trips, being with family
is what really keeps him happy.

Marilyn
Marilyn is the team hygienist, and has been working with Dr. Noorda for almost 10 years. She earned her Dental Hygiene degree from the Community College of Southern Nevada in 1994. Marilyn is very thorough in the cleanings she does for patients, and yet, we frequently hear from patients how gentle she is. One of the things you will notice at your first appointment with Marilyn, is that she really enjoys helping people maintain or improve their oral health. She is always willing to demonstrate proper brushing or flossing, and provide a complimentary toothbrush!
Outside of the practice, Marilyn enjoys spending time with her kids, her extended family, and making salads and awesome beef jerky.

Pat
Pat is a native of St. Joseph, Michigan, with 27 years of dental experience. She has been with Dr. Noorda for the past 3 years, and specializes in making patients feel welcome. One of Pat's favorite things about working with Dr. Noorda and his team, is knowing that when she asks a patient before they leave, "How did it go?", their answer is going to be "Great!"
When not in the office, Pat enjoys volleyball, touring with her husband on their motorcycle, and all forms of shopping (not necessarily in that order). Pat is proud of her son (who just received a bachelor of science in architecture at UNLV), and always has a picture of her big Rottweiler, Turbo, near her computer.

Michelle
Michelle is originally from Chama, New Mexico. She is a Certified Dental Assistant with 17 years of experience, and has worked for Dr. Noorda since 2002. She is gentle and kind, and enjoys both watching people see their new smiles in the mirror for the first time after a cosmetic procedure, and helping people with dental pain become comfortable again.
When not in the office, Michelle is spending time with her fiancée Mark, their 5 kids and 2 dogs. She also enjoys walking and reading.
