About

About Sahara Dental

At Sahara Dental Center, we have been caring for Las Vegas families since 2003 and it shows in every smile we help create. Founded by Dr. Shiva Keshmiri and supported today by Dr. Catherine Legaspi, our practice was built on a simple belief: every patient deserves honest, compassionate, high-quality dental care in an environment where they feel truly welcome.

We offer a full range of dental services under one roof, from routine cleanings and fillings to dental implants, Invisalign, veneers, and emergency care. Whether you're bringing in your child for their first visit or finally addressing something you've put off, our team is here to make the experience comfortable, judgment-free, and tailored to you.

Dr. Shiva Keshmiri, DDS

Meet Dr. Keshmiri

Dr. Shiva Keshmiri earned her DDS from UCLA School of Dentistry in 1995 and completed her residency as a General Practitioner before spending years in private practice across Southern California and Las Vegas. In 2003, she founded Sahara Dental Center with a simple goal: to give Las Vegas families access to comprehensive, compassionate dental care under one roof. Since then, she has pursued advanced training in implantology, prosthodontics, orthodontics, endodontics, and pediatric dentistry, bringing a remarkable depth of expertise to every patient she sees.

Known warmly as Dr. K by her patients, she takes the time to listen, explain every option clearly, and make sure you feel at ease before any treatment begins. Her philosophy is simple: treat every patient the way she would want her own family to be treated. That commitment is what has kept generations of Las Vegas families coming back to Sahara Dental Center for nearly 30 years.

Known for her calm and thorough approach, Dr. Legaspi takes the time to walk each patient through their options and make sure they feel informed and comfortable from the first visit onward.
