Dr. Mark Edington grew up in Las Vegas, graduating from Valley High School in 1992. He then began his college education at Brigham Young University, taking two years out of his college years to volunteer as an LDS missionary in the Dominican Republic where he became fluent in Spanish. After graduating Brigham Young in 1998, he immediately enrolled at the prestigious Creighton University Medical Center where he received his D.D.S. (Doctor of Dental Surgery) degree in 2002. Following one year in Arizona working with a large clinic associated with the Lutheran Medical Center dental residency program, he returned to Las Vegas to be close to his family.

Dr. Edington spent the next 5 years directing dental care at multiple Las Vegas area clinics. It was always Dr. Edington’s dream to build a modern dental practice in his own community with the latest advances in dentistry. Beginning in 2006, he carefully designed and equipped our wonderful office to provide extraordinary care for residents and visitors of Las Vegas. The goal of Modern Dental Care is to carry out Dr. Edington’s mission to provide the highest quality dental care to the community he grew up in.
