Dr. Kent Wagner: A Second-Generation Summerlin Dentist
Dr. Kent Wagner grew up in Summerlin, earned his undergraduate degree at UNLV, and completed his Doctor of Dental Surgery at the University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry before returning to the community where he was raised. In 2005, he joined the practice his father, Dr. Ronald K. Wagner, had built over the preceding decade — a general, cosmetic, and restorative dental office anchored in the Village Center area of Summerlin. The elder Wagner established the practice in the early 1990s, during the first wave of residential development that transformed Summerlin from open desert into one of the most sought-after master-planned communities in the western United States. Kent eventually took full ownership, carrying forward a family legacy rooted in the same neighborhood his patients call home. Wagner Dental operates from 2045 Village Center Circle in Las Vegas, NV 89134 — the same Summerlin address the practice has occupied for more than three decades.
Wagner Dental provides general dentistry, cosmetic procedures, and restorative work, including crowns, bridges, veneers, implant restorations, teeth whitening, and preventive care. The practice uses digital imaging and modern operatory technology to reduce chair time and improve diagnostic accuracy. With over 380 reviews on Yelp and a long track record of neighborhood referrals, the office draws from Summerlin, the Lakes, and the broader west valley. The father-to-son ownership transition gives Wagner Dental something uncommon in Las Vegas healthcare: continuity. Patients who started with Dr. Ronald Wagner in the 1990s now see his son, and the institutional knowledge of thousands of treatment histories stays under one roof rather than scattering across corporate dental chains.
Wagner Dental in the Las Vegas Valley
Summerlin’s growth over the past thirty years has produced a dental market dominated by corporate-backed practices and multi-location groups. Wagner Dental has remained independently owned throughout that expansion — a single-location, family-operated office that has served the same community since before many of its current patients moved to the valley. Dr. Kent Wagner’s path from UNLV undergraduate to Summerlin practice owner mirrors the trajectory of the neighborhood itself: built over time, rooted locally, and sustained by the relationships that come from staying in one place long enough to matter. For west valley residents looking for a dentist with generational ties to the community, Wagner Dental is one of the few practices where that continuity is not a marketing claim but a verifiable fact.
