The drive from Central Park to our office on South Eastern Avenue in Paradise takes about 19 minutes, mostly on Sunset Rd and Russell Rd. Our three dentists see toddlers, teens and parents, so one practice can handle the whole household.
Leave Central Park on Sunset Road, head west through the Cadence Vista Dr roundabout, and continue to I-11 / US 95. Ride the freeway north for about a mile, exit onto Russell Rd, and follow Russell west to Eastern Ave, then turn south for a short stretch. The full trip is 9.8 miles with no tolls, ending at 5905 S Eastern Ave Ste 112, Las Vegas, NV 89119 on the west side of Eastern between Russell Rd and Patrick Ln (view us on Google Maps).

A Family Practice Built for Cadence Households
Cadence is a master-planned community in the City of Henderson, Clark County, laid out around Central Park with its adventure playground, pools and splash pads. Each neighborhood has its own smaller park, and walking trails link the parks and lakes. Farmers markets and outdoor movie nights bring neighbors together, and the Cadence Village Center handles groceries and coffee runs.
A community designed around kids shapes what parents need from a dental office. They want a team that is patient with a nervous four-year-old, clear with a teenager about braces, and efficient enough to see several family members in one trip. That is the kind of visit we plan for every day.
Our hours help too. We open at 8:00 AM Monday through Friday and run 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM on Saturdays, so school days stay intact. A Saturday cleaning followed by an afternoon at the splash pad is a realistic plan for a family in Cadence.
We will be honest about the drive. At about 19 minutes, our office is not around the corner, so we make each trip count. Siblings can be booked back to back, a parent's cleaning can follow the kids', and treatment like a CEREC crown is designed and placed in a single visit instead of two.
Protecting Growing Smiles in Cadence
Childhood is when most lifelong dental habits form. Baby teeth hold space for permanent ones, and decay in a primary molar can still cause pain, infection and crowding later. Checkups every six months let us spot soft enamel and early cavities while they are small.
Sealants are one of the simplest tools we have. A thin protective coating painted onto the chewing surfaces of back molars keeps food and bacteria out of the deep grooves where most childhood cavities start. The process takes a few minutes per tooth, with no drilling or numbing.
Bite problems show up early as well. Crowding, crossbites and habits like mouth breathing or tongue thrusting can steer how the jaw develops. Our team looks for these signs at routine visits, and early guidance can make later orthodontic treatment simpler or shorter.
Parents deserve care too. Between work and school runs, adults often put their own cleanings last, yet a healthy smile at forty starts with the same six-month routine you keep for your kids. Booking your visit right after theirs is the easiest way to stay on schedule.
Playgrounds and splash pads also mean the occasional chipped or knocked tooth. When that happens, we hold room for same-day emergency visits, and new patients can start with a free emergency exam and x-ray. Keep a knocked-out permanent tooth moist in milk and call right away, because time matters for saving it.
Kids-to-Parents Care from a Dentist Near Cadence
Pediatric Dentistry
Gentle first visits teach toddlers that the dental chair is a friendly place. We use kid-friendly explanations and keep appointments short. Cadence parents get a clear rundown of what we saw and what to watch at home.
Preventative Dentistry
Cleanings, exams, fluoride treatments and oral cancer screenings keep the whole family on a healthy track. Digital x-rays use less radiation than film. Each checkup ends with a simple plan for home care.
Orthodontics
From early bite guidance to full treatment, we help kids and teens line up their teeth at the right time. Space maintainers hold room for permanent teeth after a baby tooth is lost early. CBCT 3D imaging helps us plan each case.
Myofunctional Therapy
Targeted exercises retrain the tongue, lips and facial muscles. Therapy can support healthier swallowing and nasal breathing in children and adults. It often pairs well with orthodontic care.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Once the kids are cared for, parents can brighten their own smiles with KoR or Venus White whitening, bonding or porcelain veneers. We plan shade and shape with you first, so the finished look suits your face.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Eastern Hills Family Dental from Cadence, and how do I get there?
Our office is 9.8 miles from Central Park, about a 19-minute drive. Take Sunset Rd west, ride I-11 / US 95 north for roughly a mile, then follow Russell Rd west to Eastern Ave. Families wanting a dentist near Cadence with Saturday hours will find no tolls along the way, and the trip ends a short turn south on Eastern.
At what age should my child have a first dental visit?
Aim for the first birthday, or within six months of the first tooth coming in. That early visit is short and mostly about counting teeth, checking the gums and showing parents how to brush. Starting young helps children get comfortable in the chair long before they ever need a filling, and it lets us catch problems early.
How do I get my toddler to brush without a fight?
Make it short, predictable and a little fun. Brush at the same times each day, let your child hold a second brush, and use a rice-grain smear of fluoride toothpaste until age three. Two minutes of singing or a timer helps. You still do the real cleaning until about age seven, when kids gain the dexterity to manage it.
Are dental sealants worth it for my kids?
Yes, for most children they are a quick, inexpensive way to prevent cavities in the back teeth. Sealants fill the deep grooves on molars where brushing misses food and bacteria. We usually place them when the permanent molars come in, around ages six and twelve, and check them at every cleaning so worn spots can be touched up.
When should my child be checked for braces?
Around age seven is a good time for a first bite evaluation. By then the first adult molars and front teeth have usually arrived, so crowding or crossbites become visible. Most children will not need treatment right away, but an early look lets us time any orthodontic care well and sometimes avoid more involved treatment later.
