Top 10 Reasons to Choose Smile Squad Kids Dentistry and Braces

1. Prevention, prevention, and prevention…did we mention prevention?
As Dr. Alvarez and Dr. Martinez asked themselves how Smile Squad would make the biggest impact in everyday families, they arrived at one predominant theme: Preventing cavities instead of fixing them. The joke in dentistry is we “drill, fill, and bill” but that is a thing of the past at Smile Squad. Our aim is to prevent cavities through knowledge, coaching, and encouragement. If a patient comes to us with cavities, we will fix them. Our staff is trained to be compassionate and understanding to the pressures of todays parents. We want families to be part of our practice until they turn 18 years of age.

2. Pain-Free Treatment Options
Have you heard of our Solea Laser? We have one of the very few lasers that can do fillings without anesthetic. This means no injections if the cavity is small to medium sized. In the event we need to use anesthetic, we use the SOAN. The Soan, is an anesthetic system that provides a pain-free and less fearful option to the traditional syringe. In addition, all kids can receive laughing gas to help relax them.

7. Two Specialties under one roof
A patient can receive pediatric dental care and braces seamlessly. This saves the parent countless hours of travel time between two separate clinics.

8. We accept most insurances provided by employers in the Las Vegas Vally and the State of Nevada
Although our facilities, technology, staff, doctors, and materials are elite, we pride ourselves in being accessible to all families. It is part of our mission and who Dr. Martinez and Dr. Alvarez set out to serve from the time they entered dental school. In order to do this, we are in-network with most insurances like Diversified, Delta, UHC, Cigna, Laborers Health Funds, Culinary, Medicaid. Liberty Private and state plans, Nevada Dental Benefits, and many more.

6. Two centrally located offices
We have two locations to better serve our patients. We understand many people work far from home and may need the convenience of two offices to suit their schedule. In particular, our Sahara and Jones is centrally located in the Las Vegas Valley and is accessible from all areas of town. Our doctors travel to both locations therefore, the same level of care is delivered no matter where where you book your appointment

3. We are fun!!!
Kids love coming to our office as it is geared to be fun for them. Our Smile Squad Bucks program gets our patients excited about coming to the dentist. Think of Chuck E. Cheese, but in dentistry. Our staff is trained to interact with kids of all ages and make their appointment fun. After all, we are the warmest, bestest, funnest kids dental office around.

9. Talented Staff
We believe our team is the best trained team in the Valley. On-going training and constant improvement is part of our culture. Dr. Martinez and Dr. Alvarez believe in taking care of their Squad so that they, in turn take great care of our patients. This translates to a happy, fun, and relaxing office environment that patients love. We know dental care is based on trust so Dr. Martinez and Dr. Alvarez do everything they can to minimize employee turnover.

10. Individualized Care
Dr. Martinez & Dr. Alvarez ensure you are given the individualized attention that your loved ones deserve. It’s simple, our patients are part of our Smile Squad. We always ask ourselves this question: “is this the recommendation you would make for a family member?”

4. As a family-owned business, our decisions are guided by love.
Why does this matter? Most of the business decisions Dr. Martinez and Dr. Alvarez make are guided by love for our patients and staff. Yes, we accept lower profitability relative to corporate options in the Las Vegas Valley but delivering the warmest, bestest, funnest, and clinically excellent dental care makes us happy. Even if it is not Smile Squad, please support small businesses in your community. It is a win-win for all.

5. Uncompromising Quality
We are dentists first and business owners second. All of our decisions are made with that in mind. Best material or save some dollars? Best material wins. Buy Pain-free injection technology or pump-up quarterly earnings? Technology! You get the point.
