Featuring Expert Insight from Dr. Marielaina Perrone, DDS
As the demand for high-quality, personalized dental care grows, more patients are choosing to travel outside their immediate area for treatment. While international dental tourism has long been discussed, domestic dental travel within the United States is becoming increasingly popular, particularly for advanced cosmetic and restorative procedures.
One city gaining recognition in this space is Henderson, Nevada. Located just outside Las Vegas, Henderson offers access to experienced dental professionals, state-of-the-art technology, and a comfortable environment that appeals to patients seeking more than a routine office visit.
To understand why Henderson is becoming a go-to destination for dental travelers, WebDental spoke with Dr. Marielaina Perrone, DDS, a highly regarded cosmetic and general dentist with over two decades of experience treating both local and out-of-town patients.
“Patients today are more informed and selective about their care,” explains Dr. Perrone. “They’re willing to travel for a higher level of service, especially when it involves cosmetic enhancements or full-mouth rehabilitation.”
Why Patients Are Traveling for Dental Treatment
The decision to travel for dental care is often influenced by multiple factors:
Access to providers with specialized expertise
Availability of customized, patient-centered care
Cost-effectiveness for multi-procedure treatment plans
A more private, relaxed setting than large metropolitan dental clinics
Dr. Perrone has observed a steady increase in dental tourism coming from California, Arizona, Utah, and even across the country for procedures such as veneers, implants, and smile makeovers.
“Our patients are looking for personalized results and a provider who truly listens,” she says. “They appreciate having their treatment done in a calm, high-tech environment with a dedicated team.”
Why Henderson, NV Is Attracting Dental Travelers
✅ Location and Accessibility
Henderson is situated just 15 minutes from Harry Reid International Airport (Las Vegas), making it easily accessible for domestic travelers. Patients can fly in, receive treatment, and enjoy nearby amenities, often within a single trip.
✅ Expert-Level Care
Henderson is home to top-tier providers like Dr. Perrone, who offers a wide range of cosmetic and restorative services, including:
Porcelain veneers
Invisalign®
Smile makeovers
Oral appliance therapy for sleep apnea
Facial aesthetics (Botox and dermal fillers)
“We combine advanced technology with artistic detail to create results that are both functional and natural,” notes Dr. Perrone.
✅ A More Personalized Patient Experience
Unlike large chain clinics or fast-paced urban centers, Henderson dental practices tend to emphasize relationship-based care, longer appointments, and direct access to the dentist—not just support staff.
“We take our time to evaluate, plan, and educate,” Dr. Perrone adds. “For many patients, that level of personal attention is worth traveling for.”
What Services Do Traveling Patients Commonly Seek?
While preventive care is often handled locally, patients are more likely to travel for:
Cosmetic veneers or bonding
All-on-4 or implant-supported dentures
TMJ and bite correction
Invisalign® and orthodontic consultations
Combination smile and facial aesthetics treatments
Many patients schedule virtual consultations prior to their visit to review options and plan treatment.
Planning a Dental Trip to Henderson: What to Expect
1. Virtual Pre-Consultation
Patients are encouraged to meet with Dr. Perrone remotely to discuss goals, review digital records or X-rays, and receive a preliminary treatment plan.
2. Detailed Cost Estimates and Timelines
“Transparency is key,” says Dr. Perrone. “We provide written plans with all costs and steps involved before patients commit to travel.”
3. Coordination of Lodging and Scheduling
The office can offer recommendations for nearby hotels, transportation, and appointment timing to fit within a patient’s stay.
A Patient-Centered Travel Experience
One of the key benefits of traveling for dental care is the ability to receive focused, uninterrupted attention over one or several consecutive days. For patients with busy work or family schedules, this can reduce the need for multiple visits spread out over months.
“We frequently consolidate treatment into a short window so patients can complete their care efficiently while still enjoying their time here,” Dr. Perrone explains.
Final Thoughts
As more patients seek exceptional care and tailored results, dental travel within the U.S. continues to grow—and Henderson, NV is emerging as a trusted destination for those seeking cosmetic and restorative excellence.
“Dental care should never feel rushed or impersonal,” Dr. Perrone concludes. “We’re honored to serve patients from across the country who choose to place their trust in our hands.”
