Dental Hygienist

Our Morningstar Family Dental hygienist proactively cleans teeth, examines patients for oral diseases such as gingivitis, and provides other preventative dental care.  She also educates patients on ways to improve and maintain good oral health so your smile lasts a lifetime. 

Melanie Soto Moya, a life-long resident of Valencia county and graduate from Los Lunas High School, recently received her degree from the University of New Mexico Division of Dental Hygiene. Melanie has worked in the dental field for over 14 years as a dental assistant and as an office manager for her father Dr. Cecil Soto. Melanie decided upon completion of Dental Hygiene school, to return to this great community to practice and is excited to provide great care to ALL who need it. 

Alongside Dr. Lucero, and all the great staff at Morningstar Family Dental, she is thankful for you trusting us in your care.
