Meet Our Dentists in Las Vegas, NV

DR. JINHEE CHOI

We are pleased to announce that Dr. Jinhee Choi is joining our team! Please help us welcome her to Hillside Dental.

Dr. Choi completed her Doctor of Dental Surgery at Loma Linda University School of Dentistry. Her early interest in dentistry stems from her desire to help her mother, who felt self-conscious and hesitant to smile due to her poor oral condition. Dr. Choi felt deeply the struggle of her mom and used that as motivation to become a dentist. She witnessed the transformation as her mom gained full confidence after multiple dental treatments to restore her beautiful smile. Dr. Choi believes in making a difference in patients’ lives through compassion and exceptional quality care.

Dr. Choi enjoys serving underprivileged communities in various countries and spending time with her husband. She has volunteered overseas in Nepal, Honduras, and the Philippines. She plans to continue sharing her skills as a dentist and is excited to see where her next volunteer destination will take her. She has been happily married to her husband, Matthew, for ten years and they enjoy all types of outdoor activities together.

Dr. Choi takes great pride in quality dentistry and patient education. Learning from her mother's experience, she knows the impact dental health can have in a person's life. It changes lives!

DR. SERGIO HINOJOSA

Dr. Sergio Hinojosa discovered dentistry while volunteering at a free dental veteran’s clinic. He realized how much he could help the community by pursuing dentistry. Born in Latin America then immigrating to the United at the age of fourteen, he attended Rancho High School’s medical program in northern Las Vegas. He later attended the University of Nevada Las Vegas’s School of Dental Medicine and graduated with his Doctor of Dental Medicine. After graduation, he continued his education with the American Academy of Implant Dentistry as well as the Global Academy of Osseointegration. He completed over 30 complex implant cases during this specialized training.

Dr Hinojosa sympathizes with those that have a deep fear towards dentistry and ensures to talk each patient through their individualized treatment plans. He is passionate about improving patients' smiles, offering different options including clear aligners, veneers, and fillings. He finds dentistry rewarding because he is able to listen and create the best smile for each patient.

Dr Hinojosa currently volunteers with TZU Chi organization which helps the underserved community in Las Vegas. During his free time, he enjoys mountain biking, snowboarding, and spending time with his wife and newborn son.
