One Dental Home for Your Whole Reno Family
Finding a dentist you trust for yourself is one thing. Finding one you’re confident taking your entire family to? That’s the real goal.
At Great Basin Dental, we’re proud to be that trusted dental home for families across Reno and Washoe County. Dr. Tony Guillen and Dr. Kristian Sievert aren’t just skilled clinicians. They’re caring community members who believe in building genuine, lasting relationships.
Here, your toddler’s first checkup, your teen’s sports guard, and your own routine care all happen under one roof, with a team that knows your name and your story. Welcome to a practice where you can all relax, knowing you’re in capable and compassionate hands.
Why Reno Families Trust Us with Their Smiles
We know you have choices. Here’s what makes the experience at Great Basin Dental different:
- A True Dental Home for All Ages: Say goodbye to coordinating care at multiple offices. From pediatric first visits to denture care, we provide a complete sequence of dental services. It’s convenient, and it allows us to understand your family’s unique dental history and needs intimately.
- Built on Listening, Not Lectures: Dr. Tony’s philosophy is simple: “The best treatment plan starts by listening.” We take the time to understand your concerns, explain things in plain English, and ensure you’re a fully informed partner in every decision. No pressure, just honest conversation.
- Comfort Designed In, Anxiety Designed Out: We get it. Dental anxiety is real, at any age. Our modern office is a calm, welcoming space, and our team is trained in gentle, patient-paced care. For those who need it, we offer oral conscious sedation to help you sail through your visit with ease.
- Expertise You Can Rely On: Both doctors are dedicated to continuous education. They bring the latest in gentle, effective dentistry to Reno; from laser treatments to tooth-saving techniques. You receive skilled care without the clinical coldness.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
We want your first visit to feel easy. Here’s how it works:
- A Warm Welcome & Conversation: We start by getting to know you, your health history, and any concerns you have.
- A Thorough, Gentle Exam: Your dentist will perform a comprehensive exam, including an oral cancer screening, and explain any findings clearly.
- A Team Cleaning: One of our gentle hygienists will clean your teeth, sharing tips tailored to your specific needs.
- A Clear Plan Forward: We’ll discuss everything we found, answer all your questions, and outline any next steps. No surprises, no pressure.
Care Tailored to Every Chapter of Life
Your smile has different needs at every age, and our care evolves right alongside you.
For Kids: Building a Foundation of Trust & Health
We specialize in turning “scary” into “fun,” aiming to make your child’s early visits so positive that they grow up viewing the dentist as a normal, no-big-deal part of life. We recommend a first visit by age one or when the first tooth arrives. This visit is mostly a fun introduction and a chance for us to coach parents.
From there, we focus on gentle prevention with protective sealants and fluoride treatments, and we love teaching kids brushing tricks that actually work. With a patient and playful team, we’re here to ensure every single visit builds a little more confidence.
For Adults: Proactive Care for Your Busy Life
As your partner in oral health, we’re here to maintain the smile that carries you through work, family, and every adventure. Our philosophy centers on catching small issues early during your regular checkups, saving you time, discomfort, and expense down the line.
If life causes a chip or cavity, we repair it with natural-looking materials so it’s as if it never happened. We offer custom dental crowns, teeth whitening, veneers, and other cosmetic services.
We also support your active lifestyle by creating custom sports mouthguards for athletes and comfortable night guards for those who grind, protecting your smile on and off the field. Learn more about our restorative services.
For Seniors: Focused on Comfort & Preservation
We deeply understand the changing needs of mature smiles and prioritize your comfort, function, and overall well-being. This means addressing common concerns like dry mouth or gum recession with practical and effective solutions.
When needed, we expertly replace missing teeth with stable, comfortable options like dental implants, dentures, or bridges. We’ll restore your ability to eat and speak with confidence.
A key part of our care is monitoring the vital link between gum health and your overall wellness. Preserving your smile is integral to your long-term vitality.
Common Questions from Reno Families
At what age should I bring my child for their first visit?
We follow the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry guideline: by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth erupting. These early visits are short, sweet, and focus on giving you, the parent, the tools for success.
Do you see patients with dental anxiety?
Absolutely, and without judgment. It’s very common. We use a slow, gentle approach and clear communication. For procedures, we offer oral conscious sedation (a relaxing pill) to help you have a completely calm, comfortable experience.
What if we have a dental emergency?
We are here for you. Call us first if there’s a toothache, injury, or broken tooth. We make time for urgent care to relieve your pain and address the problem promptly.
How do you handle insurance and payments?
We are in-network with most major PPO plans and will handle all the paperwork for you. We also offer flexible financing options through CareCredit to help make care accessible. Our team will always provide a clear cost estimate before any treatment begins.
Can you really see everyone, from my young kids to my parents?
Yes, that’s our specialty! We are a true general and family practice. It’s incredibly rewarding for us to care for multiple generations and be a consistent part of your family’s healthcare team.
