Meet Our Team

Darren Loveland, DMD

Welcome to our practice, I'm Dr. Loveland! I would like to take some time and introduce myself. I was born in Las Vegas in August 1969 but actually raised in Southern Utah where I graduated from Hurricane High School in 1987. Following high school, I served an LDS mission to Cleveland, Ohio and then attended Southern Utah University in Cedar City, UT with a 4-year academic scholarship. While in Cedar City, I met and married my beautiful wife in 1991. From there, I applied to University of Louisville School of Dentistry. I spend 5 years, including one to gain stated residency, in gorgeous Louisville (pronounced "Loo-vull") KY.

While in dental school, I conducted initial research involving digital radiography and its quality for diagnosis vs. standard film. I was invited to share my findings at the International Dental Research Convention in San Antonio, in March 1994. During my sophomore year of dental school, the Air Force came calling and selected me for a 2-year scholarship. After graduating from dental school in the top 20% of my class, in 1998, my family and I moved to Omaha, NE, to further my dental education with the Air Force. I was one of six residents that participated in the Advanced General Dentistry Residency program at Offutt AFB. Following the residency, I was stationed to serve my country in Rapid City, SD, at Ellsworth AFB. In July 2001, I completed my military service and moved my family to Las Vegas to pursue private practice.

My lovely wife, Tonia, is a wonderful mother to our 5 sons and 2 daughters. We are excited to see our family grow as we have recently become Grandparents. I am currently involved as scout leader to the 12-year-old scouts within my church organization. I enjoy fishing, hiking and board games with my family. I love getting to know our community, one patient at a time and I look forward to meeting you!

 

Jennie San Roman

As office manager, I am one of the friendly faces at the front desk. I have 21 years of dental experience. It is important to me that each of you enjoy a feeling of comfort and ease in our office. I love to find ways to help people smile and that includes building confidence to share their smile! I am happy to answer your questions, plan for appointments, help resolve concerns and make your visits positive. Dr. Loveland is a fantastic doctor to work with, as he is highly skilled and fun to be around. I love the energy of our team that shares my primary goal which is to help you!

I am originally from California but I have lived in Las Vegas since I was 19. When I am not in the office I enjoy spending time with my husband and 3 children. We love to go bowling, watch sports and be outdoors.

 

Michelle Potter, RDA

I am one of Dr. Loveland's dental assistants, you will either be seeing me or Rhonda. We both do exactly the same and love what we do.

We are a great team and sometimes you'll see both of us in there just helping each other.

I graduated from dental assisting program in OC, California in 1996. I have over 20 years of dental assistant experience.

I love dentistry because it's very rewarding. I love spending time with my son riding bikes and going swimming in my free time.

 

Eleina Noah, Insurance Coordinator

I am the first face you'll meet when walking into our office.

I started my dental career 10 years ago when I graduated from Northwest Health careers as a dental assistant. Although I enjoy working as a dental assistant my true calling is up front with Jennie. I enjoy calling the insurances and getting hard claims paid for our patients. I will go the extra mile for our patients and our office.

I have been with Dr. Loveland for about 3 years now and love every minute of it, from his dancing and singing on Fridays to our busiest days just helping each other as a team.

I was born in Hilo, Hawaii but was raised here in Las Vegas. My life recently changed as I became a first time mommy to a beautiful baby girl "Kaylani" she is the light of my life.
