David Leal, RDH —
Dental Hygienist

I was born and raised in Guatemala, a country in Central America, where I obtained my optometrist license. In 2012, I had the opportunity to relocate to the United States. After several years of perfecting my English, I was able to attend Dental Hygiene school in San Antonio, Texas. I enjoy working with the Hispanic community here at Southside Family Dental Center.

Yesenia Torres, RDH —
Dental Hygienist

I was born and raised in San Antonio, Texas and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in dental hygiene from the University of Texas Health Science Center in 2013 and soon after joined this amazing team, SSCDC. 

 

I truly enjoy working with children and believe in educating the younger generation about the importance of having good oral habits and how to maintain a healthy smile in between their 6-month check-ups. My number one priority is to treat each patient like family and provide them with the best dental experience and have them leave our office with a smile on their face.

 

When I’m not in the office, I love spending quality time with my family and friends. I especially enjoy being outdoors, exploring new places in our beautiful city with my husband and our dog, Rocco. Seeing how much San Antonio has grown makes me excited for the future, for myself, our office and our community.

Amanda Mendiola, RDH —
Dental Hygienist

I was born and raised in San Antonio, Texas, and graduated with a bachelor's degree in dental hygiene from UT Health San Antonio. I have a strong passion for preventive care and patient education. I believe that a healthy smile starts with trust, comfort, and a little bit of fun. Therefore my goal is to create a welcoming environment where patients feel relaxed and confident in their care.

 

Whether it's your first visit or not, I'm here to help you build healthy habits and leave with a brighter smile.


Outside the clinic, you'll probably catch me running around with my two fur babies Bentley (a miniature schnauzer) and Junie (a golden retriever). I also enjoy paddle boarding, discovering new coffee spots around town, or cheering on the Cowboys and Astros at a game.

Victor Aguilar, RDH —
Dental Hygienist

With over 10 years in the dental field, I’ve learned that great dentistry is about more than clean teeth. It’s about how people feel when they leave. My goal is to make each visit relaxing, educational, and genuinely positive. As someone who grew up having great experiences at the dentist, I’m especially passionate about helping kids and adults build those same happy, confidence boosting memories.
