Stephanie Estrada
Registered Dental Hygienist
“I couldn’t imagine working with anybody other than Dr. Calleros. She truly is an exceptional dentist and person whose ethics, integrity, and dentistry are a reflection of this. She is my mentor and I look forward to the many years to come that we will work together to help our patients obtain healthy smiles.”
Stephanie has been working along side of Dr. Calleros for 14 years! She and
Dr. Calleros have a great partnership, which has allowed her to wear many
hats at Calleros Dental and given her the opportunity to expand her career
beyond clinical dental hygiene.
The combination of receiving her Bachelors of Science in Kinesiology from
SDSU, completing Dental Hygiene School at West LA, as well as, her
Nutritional Therapy and Myofunctional Therapy studies has shaped they way
she has educated and collaborated with patients over the years. She
believes the health of your mouth is a window into the health of your body.
Achieving optimal oral health is one aspect of overall health and wellness
and definitely goes far beyond brushing and flossing!
Currently she has a limited dental hygiene schedule and focuses more on
myofunctional therapy and assisting Dr. Calleros with treating infant
tongue and lip ties. She is enjoying these roles as she gets to help
babies, kids, and adults change the trajectory of their health and lives in
ways she could never imagine in the beginning of her career.
Her most important and favorite roles are being a wife to her husband,
Jason and a homeschooling mom to her three beautiful kids, Elijah, Nylah
Rose, and Jiyah Sol. Together they adventure around the world and enjoy
learning so much from their unforgettable experiences.

Growing up in Arizona, she is a part of a lovely blended family, for which she is so grateful to have been raised with such love and support.

Jett James is now two years old and is a vibrant boy who is always on the move and loves laughing and playing outside.
Being near her friends, socializing, and eating sushi are a great source of enjoyment for Lyndsay. She also loves sports, hiking, animals, and sitting at the beach. Her greatest accomplishment in life is her wife and son.
Marissa Heredia
Registered Dental Hygienist
"Working at Calleros Dental has allowed me to grow as a professional while connecting with my fellow El Segundo residents. It is the best of both worlds."
Dr. Calleros met Marissa through a longtime friend and is thrilled to have on the Calleros Dental Team. She was introduced to the dental field by her dentist at a young age and instantly knew she wanted a career in dentistry. While attending California State University Dominguez Hills, where she received her Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology with a minor in Anthropology, she began her dental career. With over 20 years of continued dental experience, which includes working at the UCLA School of Dentistry where she was awarded employee of the year in 2010, she decided to take her career to the next level and pursue dental hygiene. This lead her to the West Los Angeles College Dental Hygiene Program, where she furthered developed her leadership skills as class President for two years. Finally achieving her goal of becoming a dental hygienist, she looks forward to many more years of providing the highest standard of care to each patient. She is also an active member of the American Dental Hygiene Association. In the future she plans to work towards her Masters in Dental Hygiene and become a dental hygiene instructor.
Near and dear to her heart is her family. She has been married to Ron (R.C.), her biggest supporter, for 20 years. Together they have two children, Mateo and Gabriella. Being long-time residents of El Segundo, her family is very involved in the community and schools.
Wanting to give back to the community they are from, she and her husband have been running a non-profit organization called the Inland Empire Future Leaders, for past 20 years. Her dedication to this educational leadership program enables her to serve 150 high school-aged students and 75 staff members where she engages a diverse staff and plans and implements student and parent workshops focused on cultural awareness and educational success.
Marissa looks forward to spending quality time with her kids, riding her Peleton and walking her dog, Paris to the beach.
