Convenient Access from Spring Valley
Spring Valley sits on the far side of I-15 from us, yet a dentist near Spring Valley with implant, jaw-pain and sedation care is only about 16 minutes away at Eastern Hills Family Dental. Our office is on South Eastern Avenue in Paradise, and nearly the whole drive from the Spring Valley Library is one long run on Tropicana Ave. Planning, imaging and treatment all happen under one roof.
From the library at Jones Blvd and Flamingo Rd, exit the lot onto Rochelle Ave and turn south on Jones. Take Jones down to Tropicana Ave and go east for about six miles, crossing I-15 and Las Vegas Blvd, then turn south on Eastern Ave for the last mile and change. The 8.2-mile drive has no tolls and ends at 5905 S Eastern Ave Ste 112, Las Vegas, NV 89119, on the west side of Eastern between Russell Rd and Patrick Ln (find us on Google Maps). Tropicana also passes our Harry Reid Airport and University District neighbors on the way.
Where Spring Valley Patients Fit In
Spring Valley is an unincorporated town of Clark County, with its own Town Advisory Board that meets at the Desert Breeze Community Center on Spring Mountain Rd. Most of it sits between Sahara Ave and Warm Springs Rd, west of Decatur Blvd. Housing subdivisions fill the blocks between busy boulevards lined with strip malls, while the northern section keeps larger, rural-estate lots.
The Chinatown corridor along Spring Mountain Rd draws shoppers from across the valley, and the Spring Valley Library on Jones Blvd stays busy with homework help, study rooms and Saturday hours. Language help at our office can make a visit easier for families more at ease outside English.
Dr. Kathleen Uy is fluent in Tagalog and Visayan, which lets many patients discuss a diagnosis in their first language. Julia and Janeth in our front office speak English and Spanish and can help with scheduling, benefits questions and paperwork. Our new-patient forms also come in Spanish.
Timing matters as much as language. We open at 8:00 AM Monday through Friday and from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM on Saturday, closing at 4:00 PM on weekdays. A Saturday consultation lets Spring Valley patients review imaging and treatment options without taking a day off, then schedule the treatment itself around work.
Bigger Dental Decisions for Spring Valley Adults
Some treatments are worth a 16-minute drive because of who performs them and what equipment backs them up. Replacing a missing tooth, calming chronic jaw pain or removing an impacted wisdom tooth all call for careful planning. Our 3D cone beam scanner shows bone height, nerve position and joint structure before any of that work begins.
A missing tooth affects more than appearance. Neighboring teeth drift into the gap, the bite shifts, and the jawbone beneath slowly shrinks. A dental implant replaces the root as well as the crown, so it helps preserve the bone and keeps the teeth around it in place.
Jaw pain is another common reason adults come in. Clicking, morning headaches, sore chewing muscles and teeth that look worn flat can all point to a TMJ disorder. Dr. Uy's focus on TMD and facial pain management gives these patients a dentist who has made jaw problems a priority.
Nerves keep plenty of people from booking the care they need. We offer nitrous oxide, oral sedation and IV sedation, and we monitor oxygen, heart rate and blood pressure throughout treatment. Patients who have avoided dentistry for years can take it one step at a time.
Not every visit is a big decision, of course. Regular cleanings with our hygienists, Meghan and Kevin, keep gums healthy enough to support future implants or crowns. Digital x-rays catch decay between teeth while it is still small, and laser cleanings help when gum pockets start to deepen.
Implant, Jaw and Comfort Care from a Dentist Near Spring Valley
Dental Implants
An implant replaces a single missing tooth with a titanium root and a natural-looking crown. CBCT imaging guides each placement, and the PRF centrifuge supports natural healing. New patients can begin with a free implant consultation.
TMJ Therapy
Treatment may include an occlusal adjustment to balance the bite, a nightguard, or facial rejuvenation for tense muscles. We start by pinpointing whether the joint, the muscles or the bite is driving the pain. The goal is comfortable chewing and fewer headaches.
Oral Surgery
Wisdom teeth and badly damaged teeth can be removed right in our office. Sedation is available for longer procedures. We send you home with written aftercare steps.
Sedation Dentistry
Choose from nitrous oxide, oral sedation or IV sedation depending on the procedure and your comfort level. Vital signs are monitored the entire time, so you can relax while we work.
Endodontics
Root canal therapy removes infected pulp and seals the tooth so it can stay in your mouth. Retreatment can rescue an older root canal that has failed. A CEREC crown can often be placed in one visit afterward.
Patients weighing their options can learn more about wisdom tooth extraction, or new patients can request a free dental implant consultation to talk through tooth replacement.
Meet Our Dentists
All three of our doctors, Dr. Roxanne David, Dr. Rolanda Chung and Dr. Kathleen Uy, earned their dental degrees at UNLV. Dr. Uy adds a focus on implants, orthodontics, facial rejuvenation and TMD. Between them, they handle routine checkups and complex treatment plans alike.
Insurance & Financing
Implant and surgical plans can be spread out with Sunbit financing, so cost does not have to delay care. We also take all major credit cards, cash and checks. If you have insurance, we file the claims and show you the expected out-of-pocket amount up front.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Eastern Hills Family Dental from Spring Valley, and how do I get there?
From the Spring Valley Library, our office is 8.2 miles away, roughly a 16-minute drive. Head south on Jones Blvd, take Tropicana Ave east across I-15, then turn south on Eastern Ave. Anyone choosing a dentist near Spring Valley can make the trip without tolls, and the turn onto Eastern puts our office about a mile ahead.
How much time should I allow for an 8:00 AM appointment from Spring Valley?
Leave a little more time than the usual 16 minutes. The busiest part of the drive is where Tropicana Ave crosses I-15 and Las Vegas Blvd, and that stretch slows at rush hour. Arriving ten minutes early also gives you time to finish any paperwork, so your appointment can begin right at 8:00 AM.
Am I a good candidate for a dental implant?
Most healthy adults with a missing tooth are candidates, as long as there is enough jawbone to hold the implant. A CBCT 3D scan shows bone height and width so we know before treatment starts. Smoking and uncontrolled diabetes can slow healing, so we review your health history first.
Is a root canal as bad as people say?
No, for most patients it feels much like getting a large filling. Local anesthetic numbs the tooth fully, and removing the infected pulp is what ends the throbbing that brought you in. Sedation is available if you are anxious. Afterward the tooth may feel tender for a few days, and a crown usually protects it long term.
Do I need someone to drive me home after sedation?
It depends on the type. Nitrous oxide wears off within minutes, so most patients can drive themselves home afterward. Oral sedation and IV sedation leave you drowsy for several hours, so you will need a responsible adult to drive you and stay with you for a while. Line up that ride before the day of your appointment.
