How to find a Dentist

Culinary Network Dentists may change. For an updated list or to find a dentist in your area:

Call 702-790-8000 to make a dental appointment at the Culinary Health Center or
Call Nevada Dental Benefits at 702-478-2014 or
Go to Nevada Dental Benefits’ website and in the Find A Dentist section choose NDB Managed Care Dental Plans

Dental emergencies

If you have a dental emergency, call your dentist. If your dentist is unable to see you within 24 hours, contact NDB at 702-478-2014.
