My first time visiting the clinic, and just when I walked in, I could feel the staff was already very welcoming. The staff is great, the doctors are very professional and caring, and they listen to all your concerns. When it comes to your financial obligations, they explain everything in detail and will help you understand step by step what the charges will be. I think I will be in good hands and will not regret coming to this clinic “Smile Vegas Dental”.

Literally the best office in Las Vegas! Professional, polite, responsive, awesome practice! Thanks Dr. Naweed , Dr. Kong , and the entire team!

I’ve been going to this practice now for almost two years and I am so happy I finally found a dental provider that I am comfortable with. Dr. Delacruz is amazing. She’s thorough and very honest. The dental hygienist is also great. The office is nice and clean, the front staff always have a smile, and you never wait longer than 10 minutes for your appointment.

Great place

People are very nice and friendly they are doing a good job on my dental crown

Smile Vegas has been a great experience so far. They always make me feel welcomed and keep up with me as a patient and person. They have been honest and trust worthy regarding my dental needs.

Best dentist in the valley

all of the staff are very polite . the hygienist
that assist me was very nice and so respectful .from the front desk to the manager are very helpful . and my dr .dr Delacruz was very nice . i highly recommend this clinic and dr Delacruz .thank you so much Doc ❤️i don’t remember the name of my hygienist but thank you so much🌹for all the hard work you put to my teeth😊

I appreciate Dr. Naweed’s honesty. I thought I needed a tooth extracted and she realized almost immediately it was another tooth causing discomfort. Always a great experience!

Very professional and took time to go over the process and answer any questions. Highly recommended.

Been there there 3 times each time. I was greeted first name, i like the energy people are professional.

Great experience especially since I’m afraid of going to the dentist. I walked out feeling so much better. Definitely making this my permanent dentist. Thanks Oscar for reassuring me and being kind during my visit!

The staff was very friendly upon arrival and during the entire visit!
Response from the owner:Hi Rodney,
Thank you for your feedback! We’re so glad to hear that you felt welcomed by our friendly team throughout your visit. We look forward to seeing you again at Smile Vegas Dental!

Dr. Naweed is the best in the business!

Worst part about going to a new dentist is when you are in pain. Luckily I chose to go to Dr Naweed and his staff at Smile Vegas Dental. Everyone was professional and friendly. By time I left I felt like we were old friends and the procedure performed was done quick and with no pain. I highly recommend this office for any dental needs in the future.

If you live in the South west area, this need’s to be your primary location for a dentist.

From walking in for my first time I knew I was at the right place. Each individual who works there is very knowledgeable and caring. I’ve never felt more at ease going to the dentist. The gentleman who was helping take my X-rays we had such a nice conversation I instantly had this strong urge to go to school and want to be apart of this team.

Here I am again calling smile Vegas for a broken tooth and hoping they can see me as soon as possible and as usual Always amazing and ready to help asap ! They get tooth pain is no joke ! Thank you again Dr Naweed and staff for all your caring and knowledge ! 💗

I use to be afraid and anxious going to the dentist. They are probably the friendliest bunch I have been around and make the dentist not feel like a bad thing. I definitely recommend going here.
Response from the owner:Hi Christina,
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad we could help you during your emergency, and we’re happy to hear it was one of your better visits despite the pain. We look forward to seeing you again!

Great people, great customer service!

Been coming here for a while. The staff is nice and professional. Overall enjoyable experience.

If you’re looking for a New Dentist., then you should try Smile Dentist of Las Vegas.,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. 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟 finally found a dentist who knows and cares for what I need ❤️😊❤️
Response from the owner:Hi Jean,

Response from the owner:Hi Frank,
We’re so grateful for your continued trust in Smile Vegas Dental! We’re glad our friendly, knowledgeable team made your visit a great one again. Thanks for the awesome review!

I’ve been attending Smile Vegas Dental for about 3 years now maybe a little longer. My experience with the staff , Dental hygienist , and Dr’s have always been a very pleasant one, with a caring attitude toward my dental needs. I’m confident you will feel the same.

Sincerely,

Joe Arizola.

Response from the owner:Joe, thank you so much for your thoughtful words and for being part of the Smile Vegas Dental family for over three years! Looking forward to seeing you at your next appointment!

This is the best dentist ever. You are gonna say.. “Oh sure what do you know? What I do know I have lasted 6 decades with dentists and if we had this place when I should have taken care of my teeth I wouldn’t have to fix so much now. Front Desk crew..xclnt.. Hygenists..xclnt.. Dr Naweed is the type of doctor you want. He takes the time to sit and talk to you and not like a guy you are just paying for work. He explains everything and didn’t leave the room until all questions were answered. This is going to cost me a lot of money for my dental work but whose fault is it? Mine for not going all these years. Get yourself good dental insurance and go to this guy. If you have taken care of your teeth then you probably won’t need insurance. That’s about it. Go to Smile Dental Las Vegas or don’t. But if you do you won’t be sorry. Get the best experience 1st time out. Hope you all don’t need as much dental work as I need.
Response from the owner:Hi Giorgio,
Thank you for such an incredible review! Your feedback truly mean a lot to our entire team at Smile Vegas Dental. We’re so glad you’ve found comfort, honesty, and care with Dr. Naweed and the rest of our staff. We appreciate the positive feedback!

My first visit was fantastic staff and the dentist were very professional. Stay tuned. I’ll be back for my procedure on the 18th.
Response from the owner:Hi Maurice,

We really appreciate your kind words! It’s great to know our team at made you feel welcomed. Thanks for choosing Smile Vegas Dental!

i drive an hour (ish) from henderson to come to this dentist, and i’ll continue to do so. they’re not only all sweeties, but they are genuinely so considerate, they are understanding, non judgmental, and they cater very well to any anxiety in the dentist office. (but mine has gotten entirely better thanks to them!!)
Response from the owner:Hi Ella,
Thank you for the rating!

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! 🙂

Don’t really go to the dentist but this place makes you comfortable from check in to check out. Everyone inside is welcoming and very kid friendly. The staff members are very understanding with the condition you’re in. De la Cruz was awesome. She gets that life happens and mostly focus on “what we can do going forward” I definitely recommend this place, especially if you’ve ever been scared to go to the dentist. Nothing to worry about here
Response from the owner:Hi Freddie,
We’re so glad you felt comfortable and supported throughout your visit. De la Cruz and the Smile Vegas Dental team are all about compassionate and friendly dental care. Thanks so much for the review!
