A true artist and skilled perfectionist, many patients say that he is the most thorough dentist they have ever seen.  Dr. Wright's personal commitment has always been to help patients feel and look their very best by giving them the very finest dental care and beautiful smile.  He will create a custom-fit treatment plan for you regarding your time limitations and budget.  Patients really appreciate his unpretentious, happy, kind, understanding, caring and gentle persona.  With the right smile, patients are more confident, smile more and look years younger.  For these reasons, you may also want to join hundreds of other “in the know” patients in Las Vegas who have selected Dr. Wright as their Dentist.  James P. Wright, DDS, is a Dentist Las Vegas residents really trust.

Dr. Wright was invited to attend the Lumineers hands on course by the founder of Lumineers. His radio and TV appearances and lectures are familiar to many, and he was voted top Dentist in Las Vegas by his peers.
