Her story
Built to last. Trained to lead.
Her father, Dr. Larry Staples in Las Vegas, Nevada is still practicing today at the age of 74! She has continued this passion to provide her patients with only the best in cosmetic and restorative dentistry while helping them gain confidence with a better, healthier smile.
Now, as a trusted dentist with a broad range of skills and abilities, Dr. Patrice follows in her father’s footsteps, creating beautiful smiles for her patients through cosmetic and orthodontic solutions. She has helped her patients achieve their dream smiles for over 20 years.
Dr. Patrice loves working with people from all walks of life at her practice, learning their stories, and discovering how she can best use her abilities to help them.
She finds great satisfaction in helping her patients get out of pain with TMJ treatment and neuromuscular dental solutions—her training in both orthodontic treatment and neuromuscular solutions allows her to solve many chronic pain issues for patients while also giving them the ability to smile with comfort and speak with confidence.
Dr. Patrice also helps patients get a real night’s sleep with dental sleep apnea solutions—let’s hear it for no more C-PAP machines!
