Awards and Publications

Our wonderful doctors have received many accolades over 60 years of combined years of clinical orthodontic experience along with the fantastic team of over 150 combined years of experience.

The doctors in our group have been named "Top Orthodontists", "Best Orthodontists", and "Favorite Orthodontists" in the community as published in Las Vegas Life Magazine, GVH Magazine, The Desert Companion, The Las Review Journal, Nevada Business Magazine, and many more! In fact, the doctors of Chenin Orthodontic Group have earned the title of "Top Orthodontists" by USA Top Dentists every year since 2014 - that’s 11 years in a row!

Additionally, they are on the cutting edge of orthodontic treatment and research. Chenin Orthodontic Groups treatment techniques have been featured in the Journal of Clinical Orthodontics (JCO) for their development of 3D technology for improved patient care.
Scientific evidence behind treatment techniques selected by Chenin Ortho Group: It is common for Orthodontic treatments to result in life-changing experiences for both children patients as well as adult patients. Psychology studies, orthodontic research and dental literature indicate that the first item strangers look at when they meet someone is the other person's smile. Chenin Ortho Group is experienced in providing multi-disciplinary treatment plans. We work with cosmetic dentists, oral surgeons, dermatologists, prosthodontists, periodontists and other specialists in order to provide patients with the very best treatment outcomes.


Chenin Orthodontic Group Named Top Orthodontist in Desert Companion Magazine - September 2025 Edition


We are thrilled to announce that Dr. David Chenin and the dedicated team at Chenin Orthodontic Group have been voted Top Orthodontist in the September 2025 edition of Desert Companion, one of Las Vegas’ most respected lifestyle and professional publications.

What makes this honor especially meaningful is how it was earned - through the votes and recognition of our fellow dental professionals across Southern Nevada. To be selected by peers who understand the level of skill, precision, and patient care that orthodontics demands is truly humbling. It reflects not only the quality of our clinical work, but the trust that local dentists place in our team to care for their patients.

For more than four decades, Chenin Orthodontic Group has proudly served generations of Las Vegas and Henderson families. This award is a testament to the passion and commitment that drive our practice every single day - from advanced orthodontic technologies to personalized treatment plans, and from our warm, welcoming team to our deep ties throughout the community.

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to:
💙 Our dental colleagues, for your trust and partnership.
💙 Our incredible patients, who inspire us with their smiles and stories.
💙 Our community, whose support over the years has shaped who we are today.

We’re honored, grateful, and as motivated as ever to continue delivering outstanding care to our Las Vegas community. Here’s to creating even more confident, healthy smiles - and to the bright future ahead!
