About Us

Three decades of gentle dentistry, now on Granite Reef.

South Scottsdale Dental Care is the newest chapter of a practice the valley has trusted for thirty years. We opened our doors at the corner of Granite Reef and Thomas in November 2024, bringing the same team, the same on-site denture lab, and the same patient-first philosophy that built Tempe Dental Care, closer to the people we already love serving.

Inside South Scottsdale Dental Care
Our Story

Built in Tempe. Brought to Scottsdale.

For thirty years, our dentists have been serving the Phoenix valley from Tempe Dental Care. South Scottsdale Dental Care is the next chapter, same hands, same craft, a few miles north.

A second home, by request.

After three decades treating families in Tempe, we kept hearing the same thing from longtime patients who had moved across the valley: we love this team, we wish you were closer. So we listened. In November 2024 we opened our second location on Granite Reef Road, a few minutes from Old Town, designed from the studs up around the kind of care we wanted to give next.

An on-site denture lab, in-house.

Most dental offices ship denture work out to a third-party lab and wait weeks for it to come back. We don't. Our denture lab lives inside the building, which is why we can offer same-day dentures and a three-to-five-day average turnaround on permanent, custom work. It's a quiet competitive advantage that matters enormously the day you actually need it.

Two sedation certifications. One of very few in Arizona.

Dental anxiety is the most common reason people put off care, sometimes for years. We're one of a limited number of dental offices in Arizona certified in both oral and IV sedation, and we use both regularly. If you've been avoiding the chair, we can almost certainly meet you where you are.

A simple goal, kept simple.

Our goal is to provide both a superior customer experience and tremendous value for our patients. That's it. Everything else, the technology, the on-site lab, the sedation options, the same-day appointments, exists in service of that one promise.

What We Stand For

Care that doesn't feel like a clinic.

Four ideas guide every appointment we run. They sound simple. They're surprisingly hard to do consistently. We've spent thirty years getting them right.

Gentle, virtually pain-free.

Every appointment, from a routine cleaning to a full-mouth restoration, is designed around comfort first. With oral and IV sedation available on request, even nervous patients leave saying it wasn't what they expected.

Same-day when it matters.

Same-day emergency appointments, same-day dentures from our on-site lab, same-day partial repairs. When something hurts or breaks, you shouldn't be told to wait a week.

A family practice, literally.

We see grandparents, parents, and young adults across the same family tree, often in the same week. Many of the patients walking into the Scottsdale office have been with us since the Tempe days.

We come to you, too.

For seniors, homebound patients, and residents of care facilities, we offer mobile denture services that bring expert care directly to your door. The chair is portable when it needs to be.

In Their Words

What patients say after their first visit.

These are unedited reviews left by real patients on Google. We've earned 4.9 stars across 310 of them.

"My first time to S. Scottsdale Dental Center and wow what a great experience! The entire staff was welcoming and friendly, and made my experience seamless and most importantly painless."

The office is clean and contemporary and one of the best things is that they've got TVs hanging from the ceiling as well as in front of you so you are easily entertained as you're having a procedure.

"I have been going to Tempe Dental Care since 2012 and when they told me they had a Scottsdale location now, I was really excited."

The Scottsdale location is so convenient and has amazing technology. The atmosphere is very inviting and the staff make it even more so. I will always recommend them when people ask me.

"This facility and staff is incredible. Truly one of a kind."

From the moment I stepped into the doorway with the receptionists, assistance and Doctors, to me leaving I was blown away. I've been to multiple dentist's over the last 6 years and I found my 'home' dentistry.

A Short History

From one chair in Tempe to two locations in the valley.

Tempe roots

Our dentists begin serving the Phoenix valley out of Tempe Dental Care. Three decades of family, cosmetic, and denture work follow.

On-site denture lab

We bring denture fabrication in-house, an unusual move that lets us offer same-day dentures and a 3–5 day turnaround on permanent work, custom-matched to each patient.

Dual sedation certification

The practice earns certification in both oral and IV sedation dentistry, a combination only a limited number of dental offices in Arizona hold.

November 2024
South Scottsdale opens.

Our second valley location opens at 1525 N Granite Reef Rd, Suite 102. Same team. Same lab. Same patient-first approach. Closer to the families who asked us to come.

One Practice, Two Doors

Patients can see us in Scottsdale or Tempe.

South Scottsdale Dental Care and Tempe Dental Care share dentists, records, and standards. Whichever location is closer, your chart and your care travel with you.
