Our Dentists
“Like family” is a pretty nice way to feel when you visit the dentist. This is one of the reasons Clark County families have been coming to Wendel Family Dental Centre for generations. We make dental care comfortable with modern techniques, flexible appointments, convenient locations and a staff that treats you like family. Over forty years of experience and a highly tenured team, has allowed us to build long term relationships with many of our patients.
We are accepting new patients and welcome the opportunity to establish confidence and trust with the new faces coming through our door.
