Dr. Steven Garhardt, DDS is absolutely amazing at what he does. I went in today to have a repair done on one of my upper back teeth (the molar, I believe), which is probably one of the worst places to have dental work done. I'm not going to lie--I had been stressing about this procedure all weekend. But when I tell you that the only pain I felt was the initial numbing injection, I'm not kidding. The entire procedure was so smooth and comfortable that when it was over, I honestly thought, "Wait...what just happened? Did I really just go to the dentist?" Dr. Garhardt took what I had built up in my mind as a scary situation and turned it into a "WOW" moment. His gentle touch, precision, and attention to detail made all the difference. It's not often that you leave a dental appointment actually impressed by how easy the experience was, but that's exactly what happened today. Thank you, Dr. Garhardt, for the gentle touch, the precision, and the amazing work. I truly appreciate it! If you're someone who gets nervous about dental work, I can honestly say: this is the kind of dentist you want taking care of you. read more

New dentist, who dis? After my dentist of over two decades retired recently and sold his practice, it was time to move on to a new practice. My dad, my aunt, and my grandma all have been patients of Dr. Gardhart for a couple of years, and I was accepted as a new patient immediately. It's nice to know that I now have a dentist a little closer to my house (my last dentist office was across town on Sahara and Tenaya, while Dr. Gardhart's office is on Sunset and Pecos). A few years ago, I had to have a cavity on one of my front teeth filled and the filling fell out not too long ago. I considered having it replaced at my old dentist, but it wasn't bothering me too much so I decided to cancel. Eventually, I did have to get it done before it turned into a much bigger problem. They didn't have any dental cleanings open until October, which was fine for me since my last cleaning was in April (I see a dentist twice a year, sometimes three if I need dental work done). Fortunately, I was able to book my filling replacement for 8/14/25 at 7:45am. The receptionist will call you a week before your appointment to confirm that you're still able to attend. No confirmations through voicemail, however, and they have a $25 no-show fee if you don't cancel your appointment within 24 hours. I got there a little early at around 7:30am, but I didn't see any other cars around, so I wasn't sure if they were open yet or not. Someone else bound for Dr. Gardhart's office had pulled in just after me and they had went inside, hinting that they had opened. As I was a new patient, they gave me all the necessary paperwork to fill out and to give back to them once completed. I didn't have to wait too long afterwards to be called back. Here, they have TVs in the waiting room and in all their cleaning/exam rooms, something my old dentist didn't have. The TVs were playing a wide selection of country music videos. It was a pleasure meeting Dr. Gardhart for the first time. He made my entire filling replacement comfortable, easy, and quick, though I wasn't scared of the anesthesia needle at all. Getting it put in wasn't too bad - it just stung a little and my gun line was all sore and itchy for a while after it wore off completely. The only thing I felt after the needle was a little bit of pressure from all the tools that Dr. Gardhart and his assistant used to replace my filling. Beforehand, his assistant took an X-ray of my tooth to check if the cavity didn't go any deeper into my enamel (good news, it didn't). Because I have no dental insurance, I had to pay out of pocket at checkout. I was also able to schedule my first cleaning here in October, which was perfect because I would be reaching six months since my last cleaning then. Living in Nevada for almost 25 years now, Dr. Gardhart is only the second dentist I've ever been to in town. Here's to being a patient of his for many, many years down the road! read more

See all

I absolutely love Dr Garhardt. He's fantastic. But everytime i book for a cleaning 6 months in advance i get my appt canceled or they want me earlier. Once again it happened. They called to confirm. I called back an hour later for them to ask if I could come earlier. I could not i would be at work. So now she tells me the hygienist has an emergency that day and has to leave early. Which Is what they say every 6 months. It really means she wants to leave early so I can't come to my appt. Im sorry to have to leave Dr Garhardt because I really like him. read more

Dr. Garhardt is AMAZING! I cannot express this enough. The last dentist I went to was all about money and not about patient care.. Dr. Garhardt explained everything throughly and made me feel more at ease with all the work I need done. The hygienist was also amazing.. I went in feeling very anxious and nervous because I know I need a lot done with my teeth and I felt things were finally going to work out with dental needs when I left.. The front office staff was also friendly and helpful. I highly recommend! read more

I loathe everything about the dentist... Scraping, drilling, picking, poking, etc. But, Dr. Garhardt is a class all his own and makes what could be a horrific experience very pleasant. read more

Dr Garhardt is hands down the absolute best dentist I have ever, ever had! His work is impeccable! I know this, as being older now, I have required a number of crowns in the last 15 years. My background is as an Electrical Engineer, and an Manager of an organization of scientists, engineers, and technicians. I had a different dentist's office put in the first crown I ever needed. It didn't feel right from the time it was installed! However, when I talked to that doctor about the discomfort, his response was "you'll get used to it". I didn't get used to it, and it fell out within a month or two. I knew that I would never go back to that dentist! I was talking with my organization's safety professional about the situation, and he recommended Dr. Garhardt. My wife and I have never, ever, had any issues with the work he's done on us! I can't say enough good about his work and demeanor. In my opinion, Dr Garhardt, his dental technicians, and his office staff, are definitely the absolute best! Sincerely, Bill Bellow read more

I was refused to be seen for a cleaning because I didn't want to take medication prior to my cleaning for a very MILD heart condition. They failed to tell me about this on the phone when I scheduled the appointment. They said they asked me some health history questions on the phone, but I don't remember them doing that. The lady at the front made me feel like I was being portrayed as a liar! When I wanted to speak to the dentist he refused to come over. I wasted a part of my day by going here. When I mentioned that I have anxiety and don't like going to the dentist the hygienist said: "well most people don't and you don't have to worry because I'm not even the dentist. Your anxiety isn't a concern." How about you ASK why I feel that way! Please be aware that they will want you take an antibiotic prior to anything being done. This is something I've never encountered at an other dentist office. Why not make this A LOT more transparent! read more

I have seen Dr. Garhardt for several years, and he always did good work. Recently my dental insurance situation changed, and I was using Care Credit for medical procedures. The office refuses to accept Care Credit, I have asked to speak to Dr. Garhardt about the issue, but have not been allowed to. I'm not sure if the Dr. is refusing to speak to me, or the office staff are not relaying the messages. Unfortunately, I will be sealing a different dental practice. read more

Awesome staff! Danielle did a great job cleaning my teeth. I am happy with my experience at Dr Garhardt's office. Staff is friendly and efficient read more

Dr. Garhardt and team are wonderful!!! The professionalism and care are five stars. My boyfriend James also sees this doctor and we are both very happy. read more

After meeting with Dr Garhardt, I was provided with a Written Treatment Plan from the Office Staff. Both the Office Staff and Dr Garhardt refused to clarify my questions regarding the treatment being offered. Additionally, they refused to honor the correct pricing on my Discount Dental Plan. Once I brought these issues to their attention, they refused service without offering a good reason. read more

snotty girls answering the phone. i chose to go to a different dentist because the customer service over the phone was so mean and snotty, why would i spend my money here? read more

I've always had a great experience with Dr Garhardt and his staff. The hygienist I'm assigned to is lovely. They offered me great cheap solutions to try first for any problem I've had. read more

I hadn't been to the dentist in.... well, let's just say more than the recommended 6 months in between appointments had long passed. I was nervous about my cleaning but the hygienist Danielle was great and put me at ease. Dr Garhardt himself was also very nice. In a few weeks I have to go back for some minor fillings so hopefully that will go just as smoothly! read more

Rex Marvin is a tough guy. A man's man. He once wrestled Christina Aguilera for 3 hours over the last Twinkies. Rex lost. Rex is not ashamed. Most men can't get a piece of food away from Christina without a gang of bikers with chains, a Brinks Truck and 4 taser guns. She is a beefy gal. A hungry gal. A motivated Gal. Rex does have one fear. Dentists. Rex cries. Rex yells. Rex runs. Rex hides. Rex once spent four months in Jerry Seinfeld's gums to avoid a dental cleaning. Oh the iron. The man has a mouth like a giant horse from Mars. Warm and filled with Kassia. Rex would rather hide in his mouth then lets hands go in his. Where have those hands been? More importantly...were those hands someone Else's before they were the dentists? You never know. Dentists are insane. Dr. Garhardt is not only a good man but a great dentist. He treated Rex gently...which is the opposite of what Rex usually pays for. Rex has one rule...Gentle in the mouth...okay...that is one rule for him...but the ladies know that isn't true. Right, ladies? you're welcome. the staff is great, they treated Rex with respect and courtesy. The Dr. did good work and Rex is smiling happy. His one tooth is a beautiful shiny green...it could be white how would I know the acid it is kicking in and the corpse of Danny Kaye is back telling me what to do. Horrible things. Thanks, Doc. You rock! read more

My entire family has gone to Doc for years. He's wonderful. He is the kind of dentist that puts everyone at ease, including those who need extensive dental work. Dr. Garhardt is professional and down to earth. He once came in outside office hours to help my poor husband who had (unbeknown to us) an abscessed tooth. He'd just returned from a fishing trip, it was a Friday night, and it was either the ER or Doc's office. He's just that kind if guy. He goes out of his way to take care of his patients. I believe he also takes just as good care of his staff, who are always warm, welcoming and helpful. Dr. Garhardt also cared for my disabled father, going above and beyond to ensure his comfort and care were top-notch. Recently my family relocated to Denver, and we are sad that Doc won't be our dentist any longer, but I had to write a review acknowledging his practice. Anyone on the Las Vegas/Henderson area would be well served to seek out Dr. Garhardt! read more

I am so thankful for the yelp reviews and Dr. Garhardt being in my insurance plan. I have not felt comfortable at the dentist for a few years now and my last dental appointment in 2018 I was not happy at all. This led me to look for a new dentist and Dr, Garhardt has very good reviews on here. Dr. Garhardt has a great patient bedside manner and from our discussion on my first appointment I have a lot of faith that he will do the most ethical thing for his patients. My dental hygienist, Tammy, is so kind and has a great personality. But besides all that, she is meticulous in cleaning your teeth and my teeth felt amazing after my cleaning. Let's just say I've found a new dentist that I actually don't mind going to now...and that's a big deal cause I hate going to the dentist. I definitely would recommend this practice for anyone looking for a new dentist. read more

Excellent dentist: caring, gentle, and patient; helpful, welcoming, professional staff; great location; immaculate office. I highly recommend this dentist if you are looking for an exceptional health care provider and A+++ experience. Madelyn M. read more

I found him in Yelp, and you know what? Their office is excellent. I called after 5, thinking they'd be closed like most offices, and the very helpful receptionist told me how to get a discount plan (I don't have dental insurance) to save on my upcoming work, and gave me a code to save 10% on the plan (sure I'm sure they get something out of it, but who cares? They saved me over $200!). Front office people are nice, the dental assistants are nice, and Dr. Garhardt is cool and sets a comfortable and real tone. He's down to earth. TV's in every room, you can watch ESPN or whatever you want, they give you control of the remote. Generally, I don't like the dentist, and it's not my choice of things to do...but if I have to go I'm going to Dr. Garhardt. Jase PS I had a crown done. Earlier in the week I went to another dentist and paid $90 just to be told they couldn't tell if I needed a root canal and they wanted to refer me to a specialist. If I had just gone here 1st I could have saved another $90. Plus, not up-selling me a root canal they saved me another $1,000. read more

Dr Garhardt's whole entire office is amazing... From setting my appointments to calling to remind me of my appointment... Dr Garhardt's bed side manner... The whole family loves this office. read more

I love this office! They are professional and quick.....always make me feel welcome and cared for. My three children and myself use this office. From cleaning to crowns they always treat me right. read more

I did a walk in early in the morning the other day at this dentist office. I was greeted by a very nice lady named angel, I sat down to fill out paperwork and before I can even write my address down. I heard another coworker in the front YELLING and talking very rude and being disrespectful to this lady who helped me. It was very uncomfortable and I felt so bad for this girl and I personally wouldn't want to do business where I even felt uncomfortable myself. So I left and didn't even finish the paperwork. There should never be a reason for an employee to disrespect another employee in front of patients. read more

Best dentist, ever. Friendly staff. My insurance wasn't very helpful but the staff kept after them until we got authorization. Nothing but good things to say about the whole operation. read more

The dentist here is fantastic, however beware of the office manger Rohnda. She is incredibly rude and condescending. We will be switching dentist after a run in with her. read more

Go here if you want the best service and the absolute best most honest dentist in Las Vegas. Dr. Garhardt is very skilled at his craft and he cares a lot about helping people with preventative maintenance. I have been going to him for 18 years and I always refer friends and family. Thank you to the staff for being so courteous and special thank you to Dr. Garhardt for being so great at what you do! You are much appreciated! read more

Tried to get appointment had a bad tooth ache and it swelled pretty bad unfortunately the lady said he was booked for months and when I asked her if she could tell me any other dentist she said now why would I do that and lose money ummm because you just told me you couldn't help me before I could say another word she hung up oh well read more

Best dentist I've ever had! I totally recommend this place. I had an emergency tooth extraction done and it was pain free. At first, I didn't wanna believe it and 15 mins later my tooth was gone. Great customer service and they also check up on you a couple of hours after the procedure. read more

Very friendly staff. The Dr is a gentle giant. I didn't feel the numbing both trips here. 10/10 I would recommend this to friends and family. read more

Dr Gerhardt is not only the most through dentist I have encountered in Las Vegas, he also really cares for his patients. I felt he really listened to me, it it was as if I did not have to tell him much. He seemed to know all about my mouth issues,such as clenching my teeth, TMJ, dry mouth just by examination as he was correct on all points. His receptionist was extremely pleasant to me, and to all who entered or was on the phone. The wait time was short. Tammy, my hygienist has been there for 17 years, and is very kind and understanding of my issues, and did a first rate cleaning. I am going to recommend Dr. gerhardt to all my friends read more

Wow!!!! Dr. Steven Garhardt and his staff are so amazing. Front desk are professional and great excellent service. It doesn't stop there...it also reflected in the back office staff. I had my teeth cleaned by Danielle! Thanks girl! Also had 2 fillings (one replacement and one new one) by Doctor G and his lovely assistant Lindsey. They are also honest people regarding Treatment plans. I myself was a dental assistant for 10 years and feel very comfortable in their office! Nice and clean. They do a great job. Thank you. read more

Dr. Garhardt is the best! He takes care of my entire family and all of my friends. Staff is awesome, Office is clean. I've never once been let down. I highly recommend and trust him with all of my dental needs! read more

I recently found myself in the market for a new dentist (old one gave me a questionable diagnosis and I needed a second opinion) and wound up trying out Dr Garhardt's office. A good friend recommend him and I saw nothing but 5 star reviews on here so I figured he was my guy. They got me in for a checkup and cleaning within a week and everything went great! X-rays were quick and painless and they get sent straight to a computer screen right next to your chair so the doctor can review them with you and explain what's needed. Even the cleaning was relatively comfortable and I haaate having people inside my mouth with sharp pokey things! (Seriously, the sound of instruments scraping tartar off my teeth is like nails on a chalkboard to me) Despite my normal psychological discomfort I still felt compelled to tell my hygienist that it was the best cleaning I'd had in over 10 years because it really was! Other dentists I've gone to in the past have been using the method where they spray water on your teeth as they clean and providing the occasional suction to clear it out. First of all, that method can be real messy and half of what's inside my mouth ends up on my face (gross). Secondly, I have a deviated septum and general hay fever stuffiness in my sinuses that makes it difficult for me to breathe through my nose. Trying to explain that to my past hygienists has resulted in them looking at me like I'm some kind of wuss or drama queen when, in reality, I'm just not a fan of being literally drowned in the chair! That wasn't even an issue at Dr Garhardt's as they kept it simple, didn't crowd my mouth with unnecessary equipment and only did the rinse and suction part when needed. Color me relieved! So, if anyone out there is remotely suspicious as to why this doctor and his staff don't have one single bad review on here (as I was) just know that they're totally legit, professional and will provide you with the most comfortable experience possible. I only regret that I didn't start coming here sooner! read more

Great staff and absolutely wonderfu dentist. I do not enjoy the dentist one bit but Dr. Garhardt made me very comfortable and he's very personable. Love this office and I never imagined myself saying this about a dentist office. read more

Dr. Garhardt is an awesome dentist. My family and I have seen him since the opening in 1999. I have referred many friends and family to him over the years. Everyone I know who's seen him loves him. A great family man, who is a gentle giant, compassionate about his patients and craft. I have always appreciated his conservative approach to my treatment. I am happy to recommend anyone to Dr. Garhardt, being confident they will have the same great experience. read more

Love this dental office! When I moved back to Vegas I had trouble finding a dentist I liked. After horrible visits with cleanings that left my mouth feel like I had taken an uppercut, I finally found Dr. Garhardt. He is very professional and nice. The ladies that work in the office are very nice. They never screw up your insurance and billing. I don't mind now when I have to go to the dentist. read more

What a great place. I have been coming here for 11 years now. Dr. Garhardt is fantastic with people who fear the dentist. He will explain everything and take the time to make you feel comfortable. The cute women that work in the office make things a little easier to be at the dentist. The only problem I have is that they're so good, they are super busy. Cleaning appointments can schedule 8 months out but if you have a problem, you will not wait for more than a day or two. read more

Best dentist office i have ever been to. 40 second wisdom tooth removal, while i thought he was playing around... I could tell more but than you'll think i'm a family member:)) read more

Ok, I admit I don't like dentists. But I went here for a check up and found I had 10 cavities. Really? Okay, I got them fixed, but it took me several trips. The dentist and assistants were all very helpful and nice. I haven't been back though, because this place is too far away and it is hard to get an appointment here. read more

I have been with Dr. Garhardt for over 15 years and have never found him to be anything but totally professional and accommodating. Recently I had a 30 year old bridge break. He called me in to check it and while in the chair started the restoration process. I was very, very pleased and have always been. read more

So impressed with the employees and Dr. Garhardt! Definitely our new dentist! 5+ stars
