Smile Reef Pediatric Dentistry

Smile Reef Pediatric Dentistry is a premier dental practice dedicated to providing specialized and compassionate oral healthcare for children and adolescents in the Las Vegas Valley. With multiple locations, including North Las Vegas, Flamingo, and Pahrump, they aim to be a comprehensive "dental home" for families, fostering a positive relationship between children and dental care from an early age. What sets Smile Reef apart is its unique approach to children's dentistry. Understanding that dental visits can be daunting for young patients, they have designed their offices with a "tropical-surf-beach-scuba-adventure-ish" theme. This includes interactive play areas, iPads, big-screen movie areas, and even a colorful saltwater fish tank, all aimed at creating a fun, calming, and inviting atmosphere that helps alleviate anxiety and makes dental visits an enjoyable experience. Their staff is specially trained with skills and personalities geared towards making children feel safe and comfortable. The practice is staffed by board-certified pediatric dentists who have undergone extensive post-doctoral training, specializing in child psychology, growth and development, disease prevention, speech development, and sedation procedures. This specialized expertise allows them to address the unique oral health needs of children, including those with special healthcare needs. Smile Reef offers a wide array of pediatric dental services, including: Preventive Care: Routine check-ups, cleanings, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants to prevent tooth decay. They emphasize educating both children and parents on good oral hygiene habits. Restorative Procedures: Addressing cavities with fillings and crowns (esthetic, zirconia, and stainless steel), and nerve treatments (pulpotomy, pulpectomy). Emergency Dental Care: Providing same-day appointments for dental emergencies like chipped or knocked-out teeth. Early Intervention & Orthodontics: Offering early orthodontic evaluations, braces, and Invisalign to correct bite issues and straighten teeth, contributing to overall dental health and appearance. Special Needs Dentistry: Providing tailored care for children with special health care needs, ensuring they receive the appropriate treatment in a comfortable environment.

Smile Reef's mission extends beyond just treating teeth; they strive to empower children with confidence in their smiles and educate families on the importance of lifelong oral health. They accept most PPO insurances and offer flexible financing options to make children's dentistry accessible. Their commitment to patient care and community involvement has been recognized, including receiving the eAssist Top Practice Award.
