Convenient Access from Pittman
Most Pittman drivers reach Eastern Hills Family Dental in about 16 minutes, with the freeway doing most of the work. Anyone who wants a dentist near Pittman for crowns, extractions, implants or a tooth that suddenly hurts can find that care at our office on South Eastern Avenue in Paradise. We open at 8:00 AM on weekdays and on Saturdays, which helps people who work early shifts.
Starting from the Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve on Galleria Dr, head west on Galleria Dr to I-11 / US 95 and go north. Take the Russell Road exit, drive west on Russell Rd and turn south on Eastern Ave, a trip of about 7.8 miles in all. The office sits on the west side of Eastern, between Russell Rd and Patrick Ln, at 5905 S Eastern Ave Ste 112, Las Vegas, NV 89119, and the listing is ready in Google Maps. Neighbors in nearby Cadence and Tuscany Village have their own pages with directions.
Dependable Dental Care for Pittman Families
Pittman grew up along Boulder Highway around 1930, a year before the highway was paved. In 1953 it merged with Henderson to help that city incorporate, and today it is a neighborhood of older ranch homes and industrial business parks with no fixed official boundary. A historical marker placed in 2023 recognizes Pittman's part in that story.
The northern end of the neighborhood borders Clark County Wetlands Park, with its nature center and trailheads. The Bird Viewing Preserve offers ponds and walking paths, and the Pabco Trailhead looks out over the Las Vegas Wash. Much of the newer Cadence community was built on former Pittman land.
Pittman is a hardworking place, and many residents keep schedules that do not leave much room for a weekday appointment. Our hours suit that rhythm: Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and Saturday from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM. An early slot can come before a shift, and a Saturday visit avoids losing pay for a missed day.
Getting started is simple. Julia and Janeth at our front desk speak Spanish, and the new-patient forms come in English and Spanish, so families can fill them out at home in the language they prefer. Janeth also helps patients understand their dental benefits before a treatment plan is set. Bringing a list of current medications to the first visit helps our dentists plan safe care.
Protecting the Teeth You Work Hard to Keep
In long-established neighborhoods like Pittman, many dental problems come from older dental work that has simply aged. Fillings placed decades ago start to crack, old crowns loosen, and a molar with a big repair finally splits under pressure. Spotting those weak points during a regular exam costs far less than treating a break later.
When a tooth does break, a crown usually protects what is left. With CEREC® technology, our dentists design, mill and place a ceramic same-day crown in one appointment, so there is no temporary crown and no second trip up the freeway. That matters when every hour away from work counts.
Pain deep inside a tooth, swelling or a pimple-like bump on the gum often means the nerve is infected. Root canal therapy removes the infection and lets you keep the tooth, and a crown afterward restores its strength. If a tooth cannot be saved, an extraction followed by an implant or bridge keeps the rest of your bite stable.
Long shifts can also leave little time for drinking water, and a dry mouth raises the risk of decay. Regular cleanings, plenty of water through the day and sugar-free gum all help. Our hygienists also check for gum disease, which often develops quietly with no pain at all.
Restorative Care from a Dentist Near Pittman
Same-Day Emergency Dentistry
Toothaches, broken teeth and swelling cannot always wait for a day off. Call first thing and we work to see emergencies the same day, often finishing treatment in a single visit.
Restorative Dentistry
Composite fillings, inlays and onlays, bridges, dentures and CEREC® crowns rebuild worn or damaged teeth. Pittman patients get a clear plan that puts the most urgent repairs first.
Tooth Extractions
When a tooth is too damaged to repair, a careful extraction ends the pain. Our dentists then talk through replacement options so the gap does not cause new problems.
Dental Implants
An implant replaces a lost tooth with a post in the jawbone and a natural-looking crown. CBCT 3D imaging helps plan placement, and PRF can support healing.
Preventative Dentistry
Cleanings, exams, digital x-rays and oral cancer screenings catch problems while they are small. A Saturday checkup keeps prevention on track for busy Pittman households.
Meet Our Dentists
Implants are part of the clinical focus of Dr. Kathleen Uy, along with orthodontics, facial rejuvenation, TMD and facial pain management. She earned her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree at UNLV. Dr. Roxanne David and Dr. Rolanda Chung bring the same UNLV training to everyday family care.
Insurance & Financing
Larger repairs such as implants and crowns do not have to be paid all at once. Sunbit offers flexible financing for work your insurance does not cover or when you have no plan at all. Either way, you see a full cost breakdown before anything begins.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Eastern Hills Family Dental from Pittman, and how do I get there?
Count on about 16 minutes for the 7.8-mile drive from the Bird Viewing Preserve. Take Galleria Dr west to I-11 / US 95 north, take the Russell Road exit, then follow Russell Rd west and Eastern Ave south. For a dentist near Pittman, most of that trip is freeway, so it stays quick outside the busiest hours.
Why does my tooth hurt when I bite down?
Pain on biting often points to a cracked tooth, a high or failing filling, or infection at the root tip. Cracks are hard to see, so our dentists test individual cusps and take digital x-rays to find the cause. Catching a crack early often means a crown instead of an extraction, so it is worth booking soon.
Can I pay for a crown or implant over time?
Yes, financing through Sunbit lets you spread the cost of larger treatment into smaller payments. It is available for procedures your insurance does not cover and for patients without insurance. We also accept all major credit cards, cash and checks, and you receive a full cost breakdown before treatment so you can choose the option that fits.
Should I replace a back tooth that was pulled years ago?
It is usually worth considering, even years later. Over time, nearby teeth tip into the gap, the opposite tooth can drift, and chewing shifts to the other side. Our dentists check the bone and bite with 3D imaging, then explain whether an implant, a bridge or a partial makes the most sense for you.
What counts as a dental emergency?
Severe tooth pain, facial swelling, a knocked-out or badly broken tooth, and bleeding that will not stop all count as emergencies. A lost filling or a chipped tooth without pain can usually wait a day or two. If you are not sure, call and describe what is happening, and the team will tell you how quickly to come in.
