Convenient Access from Las Sendas
Coming down from the foothills takes about 14 minutes. That is the usual trip from Las Sendas to Smile Haus Dental Studio, our Mesa office on McKellips Rd. Households looking for a dentist near Las Sendas can bring everyone here, from a first-grader's checkup to a grandparent's implant, and keep the whole family's records in one chart.
From Las Sendas Elementary School on N Red Mountain, drive south on Red Mountain and follow Boulder Canyon down to McDowell Rd. Head west on McDowell Rd, turn south on Power Rd, then go west on McKellips Rd until you reach Lindsay Rd. The office is at 2727 E McKellips Rd #101, Mesa, AZ 85213, just west of that corner, about 7.4 miles from the school. Save the Smile Haus map pin on your phone, and see our Red Mountain and Apache Wells pages for friends who live closer to those areas.
One Practice for Every Generation in Las Sendas
Las Sendas is a master-planned community in the desert foothills of northeast Mesa, made up of private gated neighborhoods. Its community association promotes multi-generational activities for homeowners. That mix shows up in the dental chair, where a single household can need a child's checkup, orthodontic advice and crown repairs all in the same year.
The setting is hard to beat. Las Sendas Golf Club sits inside the community off Eagle Crest Dr, and the neighborhoods back up to Usery Mountain Regional Park, a Maricopa County park at the western end of the Goldfield Mountains. Beyond it lies Tonto National Forest. Residents who hike the popular Wind Cave Trail live close to the open desert, yet routine dental care still means a drive into town.
That is where a practice with broad in-house services pays off. Instead of sending a parent to one office, a teen to another and a grandparent to a specialist across the Valley, Smile Haus handles most of that care under one roof. Fewer trips down Boulder Canyon leave more time for everything else.
Comfort is part of that care. Our rooms come stocked with pillows, blankets and TVs above the chairs, and patients who dread the dentist can ask about sedation. A relaxed grandparent is far more likely to keep up with the maintenance visits that protect an implant for years.
Planning Implants and Crowns for Las Sendas Families
In a multi-generational Las Sendas household, someone usually has older dental work that is starting to wear out. A crown placed decades ago may chip, an old bridge may loosen, or a missing back tooth may begin to shift its neighbors. These are planning problems as much as repair problems, and good planning starts with good images.
A CBCT scanner in our office captures the jaw, teeth, bone, nerves and sinuses in three dimensions. For implant cases, the scan reveals bone volume and nerve paths before anyone picks up an instrument. Patients review the findings with our team before they commit to treatment.
Smile Haus handles both the implant surgery and the finished tooth, so no outside referral is needed. Treatment can be as small as one implant crown or as large as a full arch, with implant bridges in between. When bone has thinned after an extraction, grafting or socket preservation can help prepare the site.
The younger generation has its own needs. Teens and adults can straighten teeth with Spark® Clear Aligners, and a new patient's first aligner consultation is free*. *This offer is for new patients only. At that appointment, a 3D scan becomes a digital model, so the family can preview the planned tooth movement before saying yes.
Healthy gums hold the whole plan together. Implants, crowns and natural teeth all depend on the bone and tissue around them, so each cleaning and exam is a chance to spot early signs of gum disease. Catching it early keeps future treatment simpler for every generation in the house.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Smile Haus Dental Studio from Las Sendas, and how do I get there?
Smile Haus is roughly 7.4 miles from Las Sendas Elementary School, a drive of about 14 minutes. Take Red Mountain and Boulder Canyon to McDowell Rd, then Power Rd south and McKellips Rd west. It is an easy trip for anyone wanting a dentist near Las Sendas with implant and cosmetic care in one place.
Will I need a referral to a surgeon for my dental implant?
No, our dentists place and restore implants in the same office, so most patients never need an outside referral. Planning starts with a CBCT scan and an exam. From there, the same team handles placement, healing checks and the final crown, bridge or full-arch restoration. Bone grafting or socket preservation can also be done when a site needs extra support.
What does a CBCT scan show before implant surgery?
It gives a three-dimensional picture of your teeth and jaw, including bone, nerves and sinuses. With that picture, our dentists can judge bone volume and locate nerves and sinuses, so they can plan the implant position safely. You review the images with the team before deciding on treatment, which makes the plan easier to understand.
Can three generations of one family see the same dentists?
Yes, Smile Haus treats children, teens, adults and older patients in the same practice. Kids can come in for cleanings and exams, teens can explore Spark aligners or braces, and grandparents can plan dentures or implants. Keeping everyone with the same two dentists means one office already knows the family's history when questions come up.
What is Biolase laser whitening, and how does it work?
Biolase® laser whitening is a professional in-office treatment that uses a laser to activate a whitening gel on the teeth. It is part of our cosmetic dentistry care. Our dentists check your teeth and gums first, because existing crowns or fillings will not lighten and may need matching later.
