All of our dentists received exceptional training at Creighton University School of Dentistry in Omaha, Nebraska, one of the top private dental institutions in the country. Creighton University reinforces the value of diverse clinical experiences and righteous living to allow students to excel in dentistry as well as their community. By utilizing state-of-the-art equipment throughout the dental program, our team received comprehensive knowledge and firsthand experience that prepared them for servicing the Las Cruces area and beyond. Our well-trained and experienced dentists strive to maintain the same conservative approach and philosophy at Gentle Care Dentistry. Dr. Thomas, Dr. Marketto, Dr. Milavec, and Dr. Drew are proud members of the American Dental Association and the New Mexico Dental Association.
