MILENA ARAKELYAN, DMD

Dr. Milena's love for dentistry stems from the desire to help people feel better both physically and emotionally. Being able to relieve pain, restore function, and most importantly, help people feel proud of their smiles is something she considers both a privilege and a purpose—one that fuels her dedication to dentistry every single day. A confident, healthy smile can light up a room, shift a mood, and even open doors to opportunities. What truly sets Dr. Milena apart is the way she connects with her patients with her warmth, empathy, and attention to detail. She doesn’t see dentistry as just treating teeth—she sees it as treating people.

Dr. Milena was born in Armenia and moved to the US when she was 6. She was raised in Las Vegas. When she attended West Career and Technical Academy, her focus was in Biomedical Sciences. She continued to reside in Las Vegas and earned both her Bachelors of Science in Biology and Doctor of Dental Medicine degrees from UNLV. Dr. Milena has advanced training from the American Association of Cosmetic Dentistry and American Association of Implant Dentistry. 

Outside of dentistry, Dr. Milena spends her time with her husband Erick, her golden doodle, parents and 2 younger sisters. She always jokes that her family bakery, Manan Bakery, will keep her busy with cavities from all the delicious pastries they have. Her and her husband have a big love for food and trying new spots around town. 

For Dr. Milena, dentistry is not just about improving oral health—it’s about changing lives, one smile at a time.
