Convenient Access from North Las Vegas
Eastern Hills Family Dental is a practical pick for anyone weighing a dentist in North Las Vegas, NV against a short drive south. From North Las Vegas City Hall, plan on roughly 17 minutes to reach our office on South Eastern Avenue in Paradise. We open at 8:00 AM on weekdays and on Saturdays, so a checkup can fit in before a work shift starts.
From City Hall on Las Vegas Blvd N, follow the boulevard for a moment, then turn south on Civic Center Dr. Civic Center turns into Eastern Ave, and you stay on Eastern through East Las Vegas, crossing Charleston Blvd, Sahara Ave, Flamingo Rd and Tropicana Ave. The 8.7-mile trip keeps to surface streets with no freeway or toll, ending at 5905 S Eastern Ave Ste 112, Las Vegas, NV 89119, on the west side of the road between Russell Rd and Patrick Ln (see the office on Google Maps). Patients living near the southern city line can also see our East Las Vegas and Huntridge pages.
A Dental Home That Works Around North Las Vegas Schedules
North Las Vegas is an incorporated city in Clark County with its own City Hall, regional parks and college campus. It grew as a bedroom community, with master-planned neighborhoods such as Aliante, and the city is home to large distribution and logistics employers. Weekend gatherings at Craig Ranch Regional Park and classes at the College of Southern Nevada's North Las Vegas Campus round out a full week for many households.
Full weeks are exactly why our hours look the way they do. The first appointment of the day starts at 8:00 AM Monday through Friday, and we see patients from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM on Saturday. If you work an early warehouse shift or a standard office day, one of those windows usually lines up with your time off.
Parents can use the same Saturday window for the kids. Children and teens can be booked one after another, so a single trip covers the whole crew. Sealants and fluoride protect molars through the cavity-prone school years, and our dentists watch for crowding early so any orthodontic plan for North Las Vegas students starts at the right age.
The drive itself is simple to plan. North Las Vegas patients follow one main street almost the whole way, so there is no interchange to navigate and no airport traffic to cross. Times run longer at rush hour, but the route itself stays the same.
Language can matter as much as location. Dr. Kathleen Uy speaks Tagalog and Visayan, and Julia and Janeth in our front office speak English and Spanish. Many families can talk through a treatment plan in the language they use at home.
What North Las Vegas Adults Should Know About Fewer, Smarter Visits
For a 17-minute commute, every saved trip counts. Traditional crowns take two appointments and a temporary cap in between. Our CEREC system designs, mills and places a ceramic crown in a single visit, so a cracked or heavily filled tooth can be restored before you head home.
Gum health deserves the same attention. Bleeding when you brush, gums that look puffy, or teeth that feel longer than they used to can all point to early periodontal disease. Laser cleanings and soft-tissue therapy can calm inflamed gums, and regular hygiene visits keep the problem from coming back.
Teens and young adults often ask about straightening their teeth without metal brackets. Clear aligners are nearly invisible, come out for meals, and suit students juggling classes and part-time jobs. Intraoral scanning replaces messy impressions, so the first step is quick.
Adults with fillings and crowns from decades past should keep an eye on them. Those restorations wear out, and catching a leaking edge early is far easier than treating the decay that follows.
Dental emergencies rarely wait for a day off. When a tooth breaks or a toothache keeps you awake, we make room for same-day emergency visits, and new patients can begin with a free emergency exam and x-ray. Nervous patients have options too: nitrous oxide, oral sedation and IV sedation are available, with oxygen, heart rate and blood pressure monitored throughout.
Care for Anyone Seeking a Dentist in North Las Vegas, NV
Restorative Dentistry
Fillings, inlays and onlays, bridges, dentures and partials rebuild teeth that have taken a beating. One-visit CEREC crowns are the standout for busy commuters. We match materials to your natural shade so repairs look like part of your smile.
Periodontal Disease Treatment
Thorough cleanings and laser therapy target the bacteria below the gumline. Treating gum disease protects the bone that holds your teeth in place. Follow-up hygiene visits keep North Las Vegas patients on track between exams.
Endodontics
Root canal therapy relieves the throbbing pain of an infected tooth while keeping the tooth itself. When an older root canal fails, retreatment can give it a second chance. Digital x-rays and 3D imaging show the canals clearly before we begin.
Invisalign® & Clear Aligners
Removable aligners straighten crowded or gapped teeth with far fewer office visits than braces. New patients can start with a free Invisalign consultation. Progress checks fit neatly into a Saturday morning.
Cosmetic Dentistry
KoR whitening, Venus White, bonding and porcelain veneers brighten and reshape teeth. These treatments suit anyone preparing for a wedding, graduation or new job. We plan the shade and shape with you before any work starts.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Eastern Hills Family Dental from North Las Vegas, and how do I get there?
Our office is about 8.7 miles from North Las Vegas City Hall, roughly a 17-minute drive. Take Las Vegas Blvd N briefly, then Civic Center Dr south as it becomes Eastern Ave, and stay on Eastern to our door. Patients comparing a dentist in North Las Vegas, NV with our office never need a freeway or toll road.
Can I get a crown finished in one appointment?
Yes, in most cases. Our CEREC system lets us scan the tooth, design the crown on screen, mill it from ceramic and bond it during a single visit. You skip the temporary crown and the second trip. If the tooth needs a root canal or other work first, our dentists will explain the sequence before starting.
How early can I schedule a cleaning before work?
Our first appointments begin at 8:00 AM, Monday through Saturday. On weekdays we close at 4:00 PM, and on Saturdays at 2:00 PM. Booking two or three weeks out gives you the widest choice of early times. Our front office can also line up several family members in a row when the schedule allows.
Do you see patients who have not been to a dentist in years?
Yes, and we are glad you are coming back. Your first visit starts with an exam and x-rays so we can see where things stand, with no lecture about the gap. From there our dentists build a plan in the order that matters most, and sedation options are available if nerves kept you away.
What should I do if my gums bleed when I brush?
Schedule an exam, because bleeding gums are often an early sign of gum disease. Caught early, it can usually be reversed with a thorough cleaning and better home care. Laser cleanings and soft-tissue therapy help when inflammation runs deeper. Keep brushing gently twice a day and flossing in the meantime rather than avoiding the sore areas.
