If you've been hunting for a dentist with a small-town vibe in the middle of the Vegas suburbs, Keating Dental is one of those local spots that checks all the boxes. They've been around in the Seven Hills area for a long time, and I'm convinced it's the customer service, chairside manner, and professionalism that keeps Dr. Keating at the top of the list when it comes to dentists.
Going to the dentist can be stressful, but Dr. Keating and his team are so kind, friendly, and genuine. You will never meet a nicer group of people. Patients aren't just another file or number, and every time I come in I am treated like family.
He's also very competent and wants to make sure your visit is completely pain-free. I have had everything from cavity fillings to cleanings to x-rays to crowns to root canals here, and I have always been comfortable. I trust Dr. Keating with everything that has to do with my teeth, which are pretty dang important to me!
The office is lovely, too. It's super clean and bright, and the large glass windows offer sweeping views of the Strip and Vegas valley (which is nice when you're in the chair for a longer procedure). There are television sets in every room as well.
During the holidays, the spacious and comfortable waiting area is decorated to the nines. My favorite times to go are during Halloween (the staff has a jack-o-lantern decorating contest and patients can vote on their favorite) and Christmas, when an elaborate gingerbread village takes over the lobby. Fun fact: Dr. Keating himself bakes and assembles the gingerbread (he says it's a family tradition)!
If you're searching for the best dentist in town, you'll find him at Keating Dental. The staff is nothing short of incredible, and although I'm not fearful of dental work, they make a real effort to put nervous patients at ease. After every cleaning, you get a fun little goody bag with a new toothbrush, travel sized toothpaste, and dental floss. It's the little things!
Note that all of this A+ service comes with a high price tag, so make sure you ask what your costs will be before you agree to any procedures. Bills are routinely high, and you may need to budget. Keating Dental recently stopped accepting my insurance, and I'm sad because I may have to look elsewhere for a dentist and I really don't want to! read more
