Meet the Team
Dr. Beth Yamashiro, DDS
Dr. Beth was born and raised on the Big Island of Hawaii. As an island native, she truly believes in the aloha spirit and hopes to share the warmth and friendliness of the islands with all her patients here in Las Vegas.
Dr. Beth moved to California in 2004 where she attended the University of the Pacific. In 2009 she obtained her Doctorate of Dental Surgery degree from the Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco, CA where she graduated with high honors. She then moved to Vegas in 2009 to be closer to family and the warm Southern Nevada sun. In Vegas, she completed 3 years of specialty training at the Roseman University of Health Sciences where she obtained her degree in orthodontics as well as a Masters in Business Administration.
Dentistry and orthodontics run in her family. Dr. Beth's father still runs his own dental practice in Hawaii, and her twin sister operates an orthodontic practice in Boulder, CO. In her free time Dr. Beth is an accomplished pickleball player, who also likes to swim, run, have game nights with friends, and spend time with her two young boys.
