Question 1

Are you accepting new patients?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we’re actively welcoming new patients from Henderson, Las Vegas, and the surrounding area. Whether you’re looking for a new dental home, need a same-day exam, or want to explore cosmetic or implant options, we’d love to meet you. You can call us at (702) 450-3371 or book online — we’ll take care of the rest.

Question 2

Do you accept dental insurance?

Accepted Answer

We accept most major PPO dental insurance plans and will verify your coverage before any treatment begins so there are no surprises. Our team will also help you understand your benefits and out-of-pocket costs up front. For patients without insurance, we offer flexible financing options to make care accessible. Call (702) 450-3371 and we’ll confirm your specific plan.

Question 3

Do you offer same-day dental appointments for urgent pain?

Accepted Answer

Yes — dental pain never waits for a convenient time, and neither do we. We hold room in our schedule for same-day exams with digital X-rays so we can pinpoint the problem, ease your pain, and start you on the path to relief, often in the very same visit. Call us at (702) 450-3371 and we’ll do everything we can to see you right away.

Question 4

What is “Smile in a Day” and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Smile in a Day means you can arrive with failing or missing teeth and leave the same day with a brand-new, fixed full-arch smile. As a proud provider of the 3rdSET® Implant Solution, Dr. Athari places a complete set of permanent, natural-looking teeth in a single visit — no removable dentures, no months of waiting, and no putting your life on hold while you heal.

Question 5

Are dental implants permanent, and do they look natural?

Accepted Answer

Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth — they look, feel, and function just like the real thing. Each implant uses a titanium post topped with a custom ceramic crown matched to your smile, and Dr. Athari has extensive training in both placing and restoring implants. With our long-term follow-up care, your results are built to stay healthy and beautiful for years to come.

Question 6

What cosmetic dentistry options do you offer?

Accepted Answer

From subtle refinements to complete smile makeovers, our cosmetic options include porcelain veneers, professional teeth whitening, and bonding and contouring. Whatever you choose, the goal is always the same: results that look effortlessly natural — never artificial — and a smile you’re genuinely excited to share.

Question 7

Do you offer sedation or anesthesia for procedures like extractions?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely — your comfort comes first. We offer local anesthesia along with sedation options for extractions and other procedures, so you can relax throughout. Dr. Athari handles both simple and surgical extractions — including wisdom teeth — with a gentle, precise approach, and you’ll head home with clear, easy-to-follow instructions for a smooth recovery.

Question 8

What happens during a new patient visit?

Accepted Answer

Your first visit is a thorough, unhurried look at your whole-mouth health — never a rushed 15-minute cleaning. We take full-mouth X-rays and photos, check your gum health, review your history, and build a personalized treatment plan together. We’ll also help verify your insurance, so you know exactly where you stand before any treatment begins.

Question 9

Where is your office located?

Accepted Answer

You’ll find us at 2425 W Horizon Ridge Pkwy, Henderson, NV 89052, welcoming patients from across Henderson and the greater Las Vegas area. Ready to visit? Call (702) 450-3371 or request your appointment online and we’ll take care of the rest.
