Dental problems don’t announce themselves with convenient timing. When you experience persistent jaw pain, recurring headaches, or facial swelling, these symptoms demand professional attention before they escalate into emergencies requiring hospitalization. Family dentistry from experienced professionals prevents minor discomfort from developing into serious health complications affecting your quality of life.
Just 30 minutes from Boulder City via US-95, Drs. Chin & Pharar Dentistry provides comprehensive dental care for residents throughout Boulder City and the Lake Mead area. Dr. Robert Chin and Dr. Jessica Pharar completed advanced post-doctoral training programs, bringing sophisticated treatment approaches to patients who value thorough, compassionate care. Don’t put this off. Delaying dental treatment allows treatable problems to worsen, often resulting in more extensive procedures, higher costs, and unnecessary pain.
Advanced Training Serving Boulder City Families
Choosing a dentist means selecting professionals whose training extends beyond basic dental school. Dr. Jessica Pharar graduated from UNLV School of Dental Medicine before completing an Advanced Education in General Dentistry Program at Texas A&M, Baylor College of Dentistry, where she trained in advanced dental treatments. Her time at the Sammons Cancer Center taught her how to approach treatment for cancer patients with the care and attention they deserve. Dr. Pharar’s research at UC Irvine focused on oral cancer and dental lasers, contributing to current dental practices used today.
Dr. Robert Chin also graduated from UNLV School of Dental Medicine and completed a General Practice Residency Program at the University of Rochester Medical Center, Eastman Institute for Oral Health. This advanced training allows both doctors to handle complex cases requiring sophisticated diagnostic skills and treatment planning. Whether you need routine preventive care or complex restorative work, their education provides the foundation for successful outcomes.
Flexible Payment Plans Available
Comprehensive dental treatments with flexible financing options to make quality care affordable for everyone.
Comprehensive Services for All Ages
Families need dentists who provide care for every age group, from children experiencing their first dental visits to seniors managing age-related oral health changes. Children benefit from early intervention, preventing future problems. According to the American Dental Association, babies are born with all their teeth in their jaw, with the first teeth erupting around six months and all baby teeth present by age three. We monitor this development, applying sealants and fluoride treatments, protecting young teeth from decay.
Adults face different challenges, including tooth decay, gum disease, and tooth loss. Our restorative treatments address these problems using modern materials and techniques Dental crowns strengthen damaged teeth, while dental implants replace missing teeth with permanent solutions that look and function like natural teeth. We also provide cosmetic treatments improving appearance, from professional whitening to complete smile makeovers.
Seniors require specialized attention addressing age-related concerns. Medications often cause dry mouth, increasing cavity risk in older adults. Gum recession exposes tooth roots, creating sensitivity and vulnerability to decay. We provide treatments designed for mature patients, helping them maintain natural teeth and overall health well into their later years.
Recognizing Warning Signs Requiring Immediate Care
Some dental symptoms signal problems requiring prompt attention. Persistent headaches, especially those concentrated around your temples or behind your eyes, often indicate jaw problems or teeth grinding. Facial swelling suggests infection, a serious condition that spreads to other body parts if left untreated. Jaw pain affecting your ability to eat, speak, or open your mouth fully points to TMJ disorders or other structural problems. Don’t put this off. These warning signs rarely resolve without professional treatment and typically worsen over time.
Emergency dental services address urgent problems that can’t wait for regular appointments. A knocked-out tooth requires attention within hours for the best chance of successful replantation. Severe toothaches often indicate infections reaching the tooth’s inner pulp, requiring root canal treatment. Broken teeth expose sensitive inner layers to bacteria, increasing infection risk significantly. We provide same-day emergency appointments when you face these urgent situations, preventing minor problems from becoming major complications.
Special Considerations for Complex Medical Cases
Some patients require additional care during dental treatment. Cancer patients face unique dental challenges during and after treatment. Dr. Pharar’s training at the Sammons Cancer Center provides insight into managing oral health for patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation. These treatments affect saliva production, increase infection risk, and may require treatment modifications to protect overall health during cancer therapy.
Patients with high anxiety benefit from our compassionate approach and sedation options. Dental anxiety prevents many people from receiving necessary care, allowing treatable problems to progress into serious conditions. We create comfortable experiences for nervous patients, offering sedation dentistry, making appointments manageable. Our practice welcomes patients with special needs, taking extra time to ensure everyone feels safe and supported throughout their care.
