If we had to describe Village Dental in only three words, wed easily say that we are communicative, caring and understanding. After all, our patients are like an extension of our family. Our dentists and team members are always happy to get to know patients on a personal level and make sure theyre fully informed on the dental services theyre seeking. If you wished your dental visits were as relaxing as they were thorough, youve come to the right place!
When you feel comfortable speaking with your dentist, your dental visits become far from just another errand that you often put off. Instead, theyre a chance to escape from the stress of the day, all while taking the time to maintain the long-term health of your smile. No matter what questions or concerns you have about dentistry, Dr. Megan Cercek and Dr. Maggie Rodriguez are happy to help and be on your side whenever you visit.
Dr. Cercek has been helping patients from the greater Reno community smile brighter for nearly a decade now, and shes just getting started. Her favorite part of dentistry by far is getting to see the amazing transformations people go through in her treatment chair! Not only do they become healthier, but they feel more confident about their teeth and overall image too. Interested in learning more about her? Just keep reading below.
Dr. Cercek chose dentistry as her lifelong career because she wanted to have a good work/life balance. She always knew that she wanted to have children, but she ALSO knew that becoming a stay-at-home parent was not for her. Oral healthcare allows her to do something that she truly loves while also leaving plenty of time open for her to spend with family!
Dr. Cercek pursued her undergraduate degree at the University of Arkansas (Woo Pig Sooie!) before studying for her dental doctorate at the University of Louisville. After graduating in 2013, she bought a dental office here in Reno from a retiring dentist and has been in this wonderful city ever since. Today, she is certified in laser dentistry and a Preferred Invisalign Provider. She is also a current member of the American Dental Association, Nevada Dental Association, Northern Nevada Dental Society, and the Academy of General Dentistry.
Dr. Cercek and her husband John Eric met while in dental school. He actually proposed to her with a puppy! Today, they have two young children a very inquisitive daughter and a rambunctious son. In her spare time away from work, she enjoys camping, dirt-biking, boating with the family, and gardening of all kinds. She also LOVES cooking! She owns at least 25 cookbooks and once went an entire year without making the same meal twice. As for some interesting tidbits about her, shes weirdly good at playing football and will do almost ANYTHING for a sugar donut from Doughboys.
Ever since she can remember, Dr. Rodriguez has loved working with her hands and meeting new people. She began working in a dental office in her late teens and quickly fell in love with everything about the field. She was able to meet patients from all walks of life and develop lasting relationships with them. It was also really humbling to see bonds of trust form over time as the practice becomes like a second family to those in need. Today, she couldnt imagine having any other job!
After completing her initial degree at the University of Nevada in Reno, Dr. Rodriguez pursued her dental doctorate at the University of Utah School of Dentistry. Before that, she worked as a dental assistant and a front office manager for a dental specialty office in Elko, so she definitely has deep roots in this field! She was also fortunate enough to participate in dental humanitarian trips in the Dominican Republic and the Philippines over the past few years. Today, she is a proud member of the Northern Nevada Dental Society and the American Dental Association.
Dr. Rodriguez is married to Michael, a welder who loves to hunt and golf. They have three dogs at home two calm ones, and another who is an absolute psycho. A few of her favorite hobbies are camping, fishing, gardening (her backyard is full of succulents), reading, cross country skiing, and anything involving Lake Tahoe. Being outdoors as much as possible is important to her, whether shes on an adventure or in complete relaxation mode!
