This is the only place I will go. Everyone is incredibly nice and professional. I actually enjoy going to the dentist. I highly recommend Smile Vegas Dental.

I love my experience in this place, the employees are so nice and friendly. I will be back to do my treatment here.

Very friendly staff! I’m very happy with the service here and glad I switched to this office. Highly recommend

A friend gave me the referral to Smile Dentist. 🦷 I’ve been looking for a Good New Dentist and I found mine. The Doctor the Staff. What an amazing staff. I give them my 5 STAR. 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟

I had my first visit with them after a bad experience with another Dentist further down Blue Diamond. Everyone here was really friendly and the atmosphere was really relaxed. Some special touches include a TV on the wall in front of you AND one on the ceiling to distract from the procedures. I highly recommend! 🙂

Best dental office I’ve ever been to! Staff is friendly and helpful. Dr. Najand looks out for your best interests and have been going here for 5 years and won’t go anywhere else

During each visit, I have the best experience possible at Smile Dentist Las Vegas. It’s always a very friendly atmosphere and the staff goes out of their way to make sure I am comfortable due to my extreme dental anxiety. Both Dr. Cruz and Dr. Kung took their time explaining each step of my procedures and made sure I felt at ease. I am confident in the care I receive here and am so glad I found this fantastic group of people that make some very unpleasant procedures feel safe . Highly recommend this office to anyone looking for top-notch dental care!

The Smile Vegas Dental are amazing as they truly do let you know what you need to ensure proper dental health. The team is very caring and attentive and if you have any concerns or issues you can reach out to them and get in ASAP to address urgent matters.

JEN is exceptional as she does my cleaning/hygiene work and she is very good at what she does, so I ensure my cleaning is always with her. EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE ALL AROUND!!! THANK YOU TEAM!!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!!

From the second I walked in I was greeted by a staff member and then every person who came to see me after I went through were very professional, they all introduced themselves and there job titles and explained everything they were doing and then showed me all the results and the best way to get the best results for me.They asked about my medical history and found out I had a liver transplant which can effect so procedures and also I can’t have some of the anesthesia meds because of the anti rejection medication I’m on.Then after we finished all the factors they sorted out the best plans for me and cheapest payments through my insurance which was really helpful.I learnt more about my mouth and teeth in that 1 hr visit than I did the 6 years I was at my last dentist here in Vegas.
Response from the owner: Hi Stan,Thank you for your detailed feedback! We’re glad to hear that your experience at Smile Vegas Dental was thorough and informative.

I don’t typically leave reviews but I am eternally grateful for Smile Vegas Dental Dr.Naweed, Valerie, and their entire friendly staff. For the past year I’ve been focusing on my dental health. The staff are getting me to where I want to be with Invisalign & tackling a few root canals I needed done. I started off extremely afraid due to past experiences with dentist.

I cannot recommend Dr. Kung highly enough! He is incredibly professional and truly takes the time to explain every aspect of your dental care.
