They also support local causes and organizations such as the Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Foundation and Habitat for Humanity. Leadership: Dr. Patricia Prada, Nevada's first female board-certified pediatric dentist, is the owner of all Absolute Dental practices, with her decades of experience and patient-centered philosophy deeply influencing the company's approach to dentistry.
