Born and raised in Las Vegas, NV, Dr. Espinueva has witnessed the growth and changes to this city and loves it! He is proud to be part of it.
His heart is with his family and close friends. They are very important to him, and without them he wouldn't be the person he is today.
In his spare time Dr. Espinueva loves to travel, and loves the experience of being in the moment in a new place and interacting with different people.
He is big sports fan, and is always up for a good talk when it comes to football, basketball, baseball, hockey. GO KNIGHTS!
"A guiding principle in my practice is to produce the best results with the best experience possible. I treat all my patients as if they're part of my family. I want the whole process to be an enjoyable experience. It's amazing how a gentle touch can go a long way in helping other people feel valued, and appreciated."
Dr. Espinueva attended High School here in Las Vegas at Silverado High School, and went onto get his Bachelor of Science Degree in Cellular Moleccular Biology at UNLV, and his Doctor of Dental Medicine the the UNLV School of Dental Medicine.
Dr. Espinueva is a proud member of the American Dental Association, Southern Nevada Dental Society, and Nevada Dental Association
Dr. Robert Earl
DDS
There are two things that excite me in dentistry: changing patients' smiles, which most of the time changes their self image, and getting people out of chronic pain. For the past 35 years, I have had the pleasure of providing my patients with life-changing dental care in an environment that is relaxed and comfortable. Over the years I have seen many patients whose lives have been changed dramatically. Every patient is different and presents different challenges, making dentistry truly fun and exciting.
**EDUCATION & CONTINUING EDUCATION**
- Bachelor of Science — Brigham Young University - Doctor of Dental Surgery — Creighton Dental School
In addition to staying current in all areas of general dentistry, I pay special attention to new and advanced TMD treatments. I find it very fulfilling to help my patients overcome headaches, migraines, sleep apnea, and snoring.
**PROFESSIONAL AFFILIATIONS**
- American Dental Association - Nevada Dental Association - Las Vegas Study Club - Dental Cooperative of Nevada - Southern Nevada Dental Society
**OUTSIDE THE OFFICE**
I have lived in Las Vegas my entire life and feel very fortunate to have lived, worked, and raised my family in such a wonderful community. My wife of 42 years, Karma, and I have five children, Kari, Erin, Ashley, Nathan, and Daniel. They are all married and have blessed us with 18 grandchildren. My time outside the office is often spent on the golf course, hiking, woodworking, and making furniture. I am also very active in my church as a teacher and serving those in need.

From our patients
I have been a patient at Dr. Espinueva and Dr. Earl for 18 years. The staff is always very professional and very friendly! They try their best to make any procedure as pleasant as possible for me. They're great!
Jennifer is a delight, she makes you feel comfortable right away. She is cheerful, considerate and so careful not to hurt you! I enjoyed the office as well, Angel was welcoming and helpful, her smile brightens the front desk. Dr. Earl was kind and knowledgeable, he conveyed his concerns about my dental situation well. I highly recommend this office!
Very caring and knowledgeable doctors (Dr. Earl and Espinueva). The staff is very caring and friendly from the front desk, hygienists to the assistants. I've been going there for over 20 years. I can walk to a dentist by me but drive 20-30 minutes to go to Sahara Family Dentistry/Calming Dentistry. I highly recommend them
