Meet our team

With over 27 years of experience, Mrs. Vasquez has been part of the dental practice since its beginning, starting as its first employee at the original office in Vista, California. Having graduated as a dentist from the Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara in Mexico, she uses her knowledge to help patients better understand their treatment options and feel comfortable throughout their dental care journey. As Owner and Director of Operations, she oversees daily operations and takes pride in contributing to the growth of the family practice alongside Dr. Vasquez and their children, ensuring every patient feels welcomed, valued, and cared for.

Stephanie has spent nine years with Daniel Vasquez DDS & Associates, including five as a registered dental hygienist and four as a dental assistant. Passionate about preventive care, she helps patients understand their oral health and build habits that protect their smiles. Her chair is a judgment-free space where patients feel heard, supported, and welcomed like family.

When introducing patients to Stephanie, Dr. Vasquez often reassures them: “You’re in excellent hands.” Whether providing a routine cleaning or periodontal deep cleaning, she brings gentle care and meticulous attention to helping patients enjoy a cleaner, healthier-feeling smile.

Skilled in digital scanning, voice-assisted periodontal charting, and our practice’s digital workflows, Stephanie combines technology with a personal touch. For her, every visit is an opportunity to provide thoughtful care and strengthen a lasting relationship.

Danny is our lead Registered Dental Assistant and has been with the practice for five years. He oversees the clinical area, orders materials, and helps keep each day’s appointments on track. Skilled in digital dentistry, Danny works with CEREC, Primescan, Primescan 2, and DS Core. He helps prepare same-day crowns through milling and polishing and is Dr. Vasquez’s trusted assistant during dental implant surgery.

Rosa has been part of Dr. Vasquez’s team for 13 years and is often the first friendly voice patients hear when they call. She coordinates appointments, gathers insurance information, and helps patients navigate their treatment plans, making the process feel clear and welcoming.

Rosa values getting to know each patient and building lasting relationships. Whether over the phone or at the front desk, she helps patients feel comfortable, supported, and cared for from their very first interaction.

Hilda has been part of Dr. Vasquez’s team for 12 years and brings extensive experience in dental assisting. Her preparation includes CPR, coronal polishing, infection control, and training in efficient CEREC workflows.

Skilled with Primescan, Primescan 2, and 3D CBCT imaging, Hilda helps coordinate digital workflows that support patient care. Her knowledge of dental materials and close collaboration with Dr. Vasquez make her a valued member of our clinical team.

Hilda also supports Lulu by organizing the appointment schedule, coordinating new-patient visits, and making sure patients receive the appropriate time for their care. Her warmth and thoughtful preparation help patients feel comfortable, welcomed, and treated like family.

Vanessa has been part of our team since 2020 and serves as Dr. Vasquez’s personal dental assistant. She studied art and trained at Bellus Academy, earning her California esthetician license and completing additional training in oncology esthetics and medical aesthetics. That background shaped her appreciation for personal care, patient education, and helping people feel comfortable.

Her dental preparation includes X-ray certification and CPR training. She supports Dr. Vasquez’s digital workflows, including CEREC same-day crowns, DS Core, 3D CBCT imaging, and clinical photography. Her artistic eye finds a natural home in polishing, staining, and glazing dental crowns.

Outside the office, Vanessa enjoys reading, history, painting, and watercolor art. Her love of learning inspires a future goal of teaching and encouraging the next generation.

Isabella has been part of our team for more than four years and manages the practice’s social media and marketing. She creates, edits, and shares photos, videos, and posts that introduce patients to our team and the care we provide. Through her work, Isabella helps our Oceanside community get to know the people behind the practice.
