Dr. Alessandro Retis, DMD
Dentist in El Paso
Dr. Alessandro Retis was born in Lima, Peru, and moved with his family to Las Vegas, Nevada, when he was 11 years old. He graduated from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), with a B.S. in Biology and a Doctorate of Dental Medicine (DMD). During his time at UNLV, he received numerous awards for his research in oral cancer, achievements in oral surgery, and most importantly, for exemplifying compassionate humanitarian service through multiple dental missions to South America. From a young age, Dr. Retis dreamed of working in a profession where he could make a positive impact on people’s lives.
After graduation, Dr. Retis was selected for and completed an intensive one-year Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery internship at the LAC+USC Medical Center at the University of Southern California (USC).
At this Level 1 trauma center, he served as one of the primary residents on call for maxillofacial trauma. He was also responsible for teaching USC dental students dentoalveolar surgery and wisdom teeth extractions. Additionally, he spent many hours in the operating room assisting in a broad scope of maxillofacial surgeries. Since then, he has completed extensive training in dental implants as well as oral and IV sedation.
Following his prestigious internship, Dr. Retis accepted a position in Texas, where he quickly became recognized as a top dentist throughout El Paso. His mission at El Paso Family Dental is to create beautiful, healthy smiles with a focus on comfort for the entire family. Dr. Retis is committed to making each patient, both parents and children, feel comfortable and at ease during their visit. His greatest value is trust, and he enjoys personally connecting with each patient to provide a unique, thoughtful, and tailored dental experience.
Outside of El Paso Family Dental, Dr. Retis loves spending time with his wife and three children. One of their favorite pastimes is discovering new local restaurants and eateries. Dr. Retis also enjoys starting his day with a workout before heading to work!
