I don't recommend this office. It's beautiful and the staff is caring, and cleanings are fine—but when my son needed more than a cleaning, they recommended 8 crowns on all his molars. That seemed outrageous. I got a second opinion from another dentist in Las Vegas who did just 4 small fillings instead. They said my son doesn't grind his teeth and the fillings weren't at risk of cracking. I almost went through with unnecessary treatment. Just be careful if they suggest major work.
We're sorry to hear about your experience at Mountain West Dental Specialists in Las Vegas. We always aim for conservative care and regret any miscommunication. We'll review our treatment planning process to ensure recommendations are clearly explained and consider second opinions. Thank you for your feedback.
Best dentist office in town. I have been coming here since my daughter was just a few weeks old. After a traumatic first experience at another office with my son at 2 years old there was no question that we would be returning here. They are 5 and 7 now and love the dentist. Thanks you Doctor Tomlin and all of the amazing staff.
Very nice office. My daughter has been coming for a few years. I live they are incorporating activities for the kids. Makes the dentist less scary.
I've been coming here since my first was 6 months old, and now I bring both kids. Dr. Tomlin is always friendly, professional, and takes his time. Their pediatric dentistry in Las Vegas is fantastic—they really know how to handle little ones.
We're so happy to have you and your family at Mountain West Dental Specialists in Las Vegas! Dr. Tomlin and our team love seeing your kids grow. Thanks for trusting us with their pediatric dentistry care.
Everyone is great here. From the moment you walk in, the staff is attentive and kind. They talk you through each procedure and make sure you get the best care. I love Mountain West Dental—their orthodontics and pediatric dentistry in Las Vegas are awesome.
Thank you! We're so glad you feel well cared for at Mountain West Dental Specialists in Las Vegas. Making every visit comfortable is our priority. See you next time!
Wonderful pediatric dentist and amazing staff. My daughter loves getting her teeth checked. I love that they're so personable and provide all alternatives, even if it's not within their practice. I just wish they worked on adult teeth too, but their pediatric dentistry in Las Vegas is top-notch.
Thanks for the kind review! We're delighted your daughter enjoys her visits to Mountain West Dental Specialists in Las Vegas. Our pediatric dentistry team loves making kids smile. We do offer some services for adults too—give us a call!
This is the best baby dentist ever! They took care of my daughter's full mouth of tongue, cheek, and lip ties when she was 3 months old. They were so loving, sweet, and understanding—gentle with my baby and kind to me as a nervous mom. It's hard handing your baby over for a medical procedure, but they couldn't have been lovelier. I've already recommended them to other moms with tied-up babies. Their laser frenectomy in Las Vegas was amazing!
Thank you! We're so glad your little one had a great experience with our laser frenectomy team at Mountain West Dental Specialists in Las Vegas. It means the world to us that you felt supported. We appreciate you spreading the word!
Everyone we met was professional and nice. We're really glad we switched to this office. My kids actually enjoy going to the dentist now—they feel comfortable and prepared for what's going to happen. My 10-year-old son said, 'They let me pick a prize after!' I'll keep referring friends and family to Mountain West Dental. Their pediatric dentistry in Las Vegas is top-notch.
Thanks for the kind words! We're thrilled your kids enjoy visiting Mountain West Dental Specialists in Las Vegas. Making pediatric dentistry fun and comfortable is our goal. See you at your next visit!
Honestly, this place is a 10/10. If you want a dentist who actually listens and cares, go here. My family visited for a fun event they hosted, then I scheduled an appointment and shared all my concerns: a nervous 4-year-old, a son with ADHD and autism, another with severe sensory issues, and a 17-year-old. I was super anxious after a bad experience elsewhere, but the second we walked into their Las Vegas office, I breathed a sigh of relief. The place was welcoming, clean, and comfortable—they even had holiday decorations up which made it feel so inviting. The waiting room was great too. We ended up getting pediatric dentistry services and they handled everything beautifully.
Thanks for sharing your experience! At Mountain West Dental Specialists Pediatric Dentistry and Family Orthodontics in Las Vegas, we aim to make every family feel at ease. Glad our pediatric dentistry team could help. See you next time!
First, the good news: Dr. Tomlin and his hygienists are very good. But after our recent experience, we're done with this office. I took my 6-year-old son for a routine exam and cleaning. A worker named Heaven wrongly told me our insurance was terminated. I knew that couldn't be true since it renews yearly through my husband's employer. It was a hassle and wasted trip. Not acceptable.
Hello, we sincerely apologize for the insurance mix-up at Mountain West Dental Specialists in Las Vegas. It's not the experience we want for our families. We've retrained our front desk team on verification procedures to prevent this. Thank you for your feedback—it helps us improve.
They've been taking good care of my kids teeth health for the past 2 years, even during emergencies. They've been able to help over the phone, even when we're out of state. They have great nurses and the office is very kid friendly.
I used to really like this dental office for my two children, but unfortunately the quality of care has noticeably declined over our last few visits. Most recently, I brought my son in because his spacer had shifted and was pinching his gums. When we arrived, the doctor walked in without acknowledging me, spoke only to the dental assistant, and then directed questions to my 5-year-old son instead of me.
As a parent — and someone with experience working in a pediatric setting — I found this very concerning. The parent or guardian should be the primary point of contact, not a young child. Each time I tried to explain what was going on, I felt dismissed and ignored, as if my input didn’t matter. This left me feeling uncomfortable and like my time wasn’t valued. To add to this, the front desk staff also seemed irritated and rude when asked any questions or for a school note, which made the entire experience even more unpleasant.
This wasn’t an isolated incident; we’ve had similar experiences in the past, which makes it clear this is becoming a pattern. Instead of feeling cared for, we were made to feel like just another number. Because of this, I’ve decided not to return. My children deserve providers who listen, communicate, and provide the level of care they truly need.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your recent experience did not meet your expectations. Our team values communication with both parents and patients, and it’s always our goal to ensure everyone feels heard and respected during visits.
As a pediatric and orthodontic practice, we also prioritize giving our young patients a sense of autonomy and confidence in their care by engaging them directly and helping them understand what’s happening in a way that makes them feel comfortable and involved. This is never meant to exclude parents, but rather to build trust and reduce anxiety for our young patients while keeping families informed every step of the way.
We take your comments seriously and will be reviewing this experience with our team to make sure that our balance of communication between parents and patients remains clear and compassionate. We would appreciate the opportunity to discuss your concerns further and welcome you to contact our office directly so we can personally address them. Thank you, Dr. Tomlin
I am very pleased with the service my kids have been receiving from this location, the staff are kind and respectful and engage with everyone, the place is ALWAYS decked out for any minor or major holiday, they have a play area I could literally go on and on I went ahead and added some photos and yes these are all
MY babies (:
Thank you so much for your kind words :)
Staffs are very friendly. My son enjoyed coming every time to hang out, watch cartoon, and get his teeth checked up. Assistant Lyzette is amazing and same as Dr. Tomlin. Definitely recommend friends or family to come here for dental services.
Thank you so much for your kind words :)
My two kids have been going here for over a decade. I love the atmosphere—the office is always decorated for every season or holiday. The staff is so friendly and the doctors are great with kids. I highly recommend this dental clinic—the best in the west for pediatric dentistry and orthodontics in Las Vegas.
Thank you for over a decade of trust! We're honored to care for your family at Mountain West Dental Specialists in Las Vegas. Our pediatric dentistry and orthodontics team loves seeing your kids grow. Here's to many more years!
This place was aaaaaaamazing!!! Very spacious and clean. Fun toys for the kids to play with in the waiting room. The staff made my very stubborn 3 year old very relaxed and comfortable. I was nervous going into this because her very first dental experience wasn’t great and she wasn’t able to get treatment done. We were referred here by her pediatrician and we are in love! They explained everything they were gonna do to her and showed her everything and i think that all made her feel very comfortable. During treatment, she was able to lay back and watch tv as the TVs were on the ceiling! Lol And then she got a prize at the end.
Overall, very good experience, so glad we were referred and I’ll drive the 45 min every six months for this exceptional experience all over again!
Thank you so much for your kind words :)
Both my daughters had to come in for fills. My 8 year old is very afraid of the tools and wants to know each step they’re taking during her treatment. The dental assistants and her dentist were very patient and let her know what they were doing in a friendly non scary manner.
They were able to do her fill and crown with barely any issues. The hardest part was probably the numbing portion.
Now it’s my 5 year olds turn and she only had fills. They were quick and thorough. They truly know what they’re doing here and know how to treat children so they aren’t afraid.
The facility is always bright, clean and we love all the seasonal decorations! Great job guys!
Thank you so much for your kind words :)
Me and my whole family love and adore Mountain West Dental Specialists! We have been going to them for over 7 years. There isn’t anyone else I would trust with my kids teeth. Their staff is amazing and so great with kids! I highly recommend!
Thank you so much for your kind words :)
Love this dental office! The staff is always so nice and amazing every time I come in. They know my kids by name after just two visits, and they know how to make them feel at ease during non-cleaning appointments. Sad to see Skylar go, but hopefully Heaven and Kylie stay. The office is very child-friendly with a separate play area and always clean. They also accept adult patients, which is great for cosmetic dentistry too!
Thanks for the love! We're glad your kids feel at home at Mountain West Dental Specialists in Las Vegas. Our team adores them too. We'll pass along your kind words to Heaven and Kylie. See you soon for pediatric or cosmetic dentistry!
If you're looking to have a pleasurable experience at the dentist, this is the place for you. This was hands down the nicest, cleanest, friendliest, and most efficient dentist and staff I have ever been to. The office is super nice, spacious and squeaky clean. You don't even feel like you're at the dentist. Very kid friendly. But even better than that.. The entire staff went above and beyond to make sure that I was comfortable. They were so kind and friendly that my kid didn’t get anxious at all, my 5 year old kid felt at home and safe. Well done!
Thank you so much for the kind words. Means a lot to us!
