Update to my previous review below, I’ve been coming here for my cleanings , and my Invisalign and I’m still really happy with this dental office. The best dentist, and the best staff! Everyone is still just as friendly and professional from my experience of all my apts. I actually look foward to my apts, I’m very happy with my results with my Invisalign here at Smile Vegas. If you’re looking for a great dentist, friendly staff, and great pricing then go here!

Had the best experience, the staff was very friendly and very professional. I was nervous since it’s been awhile since I’ve been to the dentist and they made me feel right at ease.
They scheduled me really fast and are great with communication and answering any questions I had. I’ll continue to be a patient here at this dental office. Everyone was genuinely so nice.

The atmosphere is chill and they provide drinks and entertainment while you’re being worked on. Everything is explained clearly and they’re not trying to up sell you on stuff you don’t need all the time. My favorite dentists so far.

the staff are very accommodating and the dentists are all very professional and take their time with the patients.

I have had on going problems with my teeth since childhood. Ultimately I had a tumor that would not allow me to have one of my adult front teeth. I came across Smile Vegas on Tik Tok and I’ve now been seeing them for over 3 years. On top of regular maintenance they fit me with a bridge and I am constantly getting compliments on my teeth. I recommend them to anyone who asks and especially for cosmetic repairs!

This is my second time at Smile Vegas Dental clinic. I just love how my teeth is being cleaned thoroughly. I will keep coming back.

I cannot say enough good things about smile Vegas dental. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing all three dentist there. Dr. Naweed Dr. Nikki and Dr Kong all top notch dentists always know how to keep at ease and they always treat me like family. Best dental office in the southwest hands down.
