Review from Stephanie B.
Scottsdale, AZ
I have been going to All Smiles Dental Care for 7 years now and have never had a bad experience. I have spent A LOT of time there (5 crowns plus endless amounts of cavities over the years). I had a gray front tooth due to a root canal I had received when I was a teenager. I thought I would have to get veneers since it was a front tooth but All Smiles was able to give me a crown that matched my other teeth perfectly. They even had the team making the tooth look at the coloring of my other teeth in person to make sure the crown matched perfectly. I could not be happier.
The location is small but every comfortable inside. They have all the latest gadgets (almost everything is electronic) and are able to look at your records on a screen while they work on your teeth. The procedure rooms are equipped with headphones for music or movies which let you block out the noise of the drilling if needed.
I have recently taken my 3 year old to one of my cleanings so he could see what the dentist was all about. After I was done, they let my son get in the chair and looked at his teeth as well. They were great with him and he enjoyed his visit.
The staff is extremely friendly and they are great at getting you in when needed. I cannot say enough about this place. Go and see for yourself! -
Review from Alicia B.

Superb service. That's a big deal when it comes to your teeth.
I had to have a root canal, ugh. But the doc and his assistant made it as painless as a root canal can be. Plus, they call ahead of time to remind me of my appointments. They also called after wards to make sure I was doing okay.
During the procedure, they'd check to see if I was hanging in there. The assistant was also kind enough to tell me what they were doing. Whenever I asked prior to my appointment on how long each visit would take, they would give me a fair estimation. I really appreciate that - so I can plan accordingly.
Another big thing is the wait time. Talk about nada. When you're appointment is at 3 p.m., you can be certain you'll be taken care of on time. Right on. Nobody likes to wait, especially when it comes to the dentist.1 Previous Review: Show all »

Ok, I admit it: I love having my teeth cleaned. There's nothing like running the tip of your tongue… Read more »

Review from Regan W.
Phoenix, AZ
I had an absolutely stellar experience at All Smiles.
I finally got dental insurance, and made an appointment based on Alicia's review. It helps that it's right down the street from my house too!
Everyone was just great. The hygienist was sweet and chatty, and let's just say the dentist isn't too hard on the eyes, ladies.... He has some beautiful blue eyes!
I am just so pleased with the cleaning and service I received. I will recommend All Smiles Dental to anybody! -
Review from N P.
Tempe, AZ
Like many people, I have some wisdom teeth. Like they do, two started to rebel and had to go. I finally gave up just dealing with the pain and called around to a few dentists.
I called one place, but from its website and description, it sounded really pricey, plus all the online reviews on it were shit. They were open late and weekends though.
I call this place second. They aren't open late, but very early (7am), and one saturday a month. I called on a Saturday and someone actually answered and took my appointment for that Tuesday.
I arrived early, its a small place with not very much parking, but very easy to find. The inside is pretty small too, but nice. Theres a couch with tv, and not crappy tv that just shows dental commercials. Theres a small area to get coffee, and a mini fridge with drinks right in the main area. Its not decorated or lit up like a normal dentist office either, its all regular comfy furniture and lamps instead of crap office furniture and florescent lighting.
When I asked about my appointment there was some confusion, and it seemed like the nice person I spoke to on saturday had not actually made my appointment. They didn't tell me this, but it was easy to figure out since they had none of my info and no idea who I was. They were happy to still accommodate me though, and in a few minutes I was taken into one of the rooms, where a very nice assistant took my ex rays and prelim questions.
I have been to the dentist enough to know that usually the first time you go you get a consultation, and the real work starts on the next visit. When the dentist came in and asked me about my teeth, had a poke around, and confirmed that both wisdom teeth on the right side had to go. I was shocked when he offered to take them out right then! Now, the may not seem exciting to anyone else, but I was in excruciating pain. And I'm not one of those people that needs to be put under to get teeth pulled. I have a high pain tolerance. He also said he could get me out of there and to work in a couple hours.
The work was what I consider pretty typical, the dentist and assistant were nice, kept me up to date on what was going on while they were working and making sure I was doing ok, numb enough, etc.
I have terrible allergies and ended up getting dry socket from all my sneezing. I called the dentist the next week, and the couple times I've been in to have the dry socket dressing changed (which btw is disgusting, clove flavored crap), they always were able to get me in right away and super nice about it. They also haven't needed to be reminded that I'm allergic to latex, which the doctors office I've been going to for over a year can't seem to remember.
I don't think theres anyway to make the pain of having teeth pulled not hurt later, so I did spend a few days right after the first appt feeling like someone had punched me in the face.
If you're looking for an awesome dentist and don't need one of those spa like crazy places that tries to upsell you on everything (like gum treatments and tooth lightening), this is the place.
PS: I didn't see any of that stuff offices put in for kids in the waiting area, so I don't think its really a kids kinda place. Even more reason for me to go. -

I had a dental problem which was comprehensively and knowledgeably resolved. The entire staff is first rate.

Review from Toni J.
I went in for a cleaning about 3 weeks ago. When I called to make an appointment, I asked how long it would take, since I was leaving the office. They told me 1-1.5 hours. It all started off okay, the girl taking my X-rays yakked my ear off, which was a little annoying, but preferred over someone who doesn't say anything. She had to move me into another room because the equipment was working, and then moved me back to the other room to wait for the doctor. The doctor came in, looked at my X-rays, looked at my teeth and then explained that I needed a couple fillings replaced. He was pretty brief, but thorough enough. Next the hygienist was running behind, so I waited about 15 minutes in the lobby for her. When she was ready, she took me into yet another room. At this point I was a little annoyed with the musical chairs, and asked her how long she anticipated the cleaning would take. She said it would "depend"! Well that doesn't help me get back to work on time. The cleaning was okay, it was little uncomfortable when she was scraping, but then my whole mouth was very sore for days. When I went to check out and pick up my estimate for the fillings, I noticed immediately that he pricing was wrong. The office manager proceeded to patronize me and tell me that I was misinformed and the pricing was right. Finally, since I had already been in the office for over 2 hours, I just asked her to verify the pricing with the insurance. She said she would call and then call me later that afternoon. I've still never received a follow-up from her. I did however receive an estimate from my insurance in the mail yesterday... and sure enough I was right. She was almost $500 off (not in my favor). I'm guessing that when she found out she was wrong, she decided she was going to let the insurance company notify me. Unfortunately, the doctor was fine, but when you spend 90% of the time at the dentist with his support staff, you have to rate the office as a whole. Sorry Dr. Smith, you just lost a patient!

Review from liza k.
Phoenix, AZ
I gave all smiles rave reviews initially but since then have had a horrible experience there. First, they screwed up in scheduling my cleanings and much to my surprise, billed me $82. What? My cleanings are free! If that is not so bad, I guess I'm just livid that I received a threatening letter in the mail saying that I had been disregarding my bills for months now and would have to pay in full. IT WAS THE FIRST SUCH BILL I HAD RECEIVED! When I called the office they said they do the "best they can" in scheduling appointments so that the insurance covers it but there are over 1100 insurance companies and they are "not perfect". Funny, I have been going to the dentist for years and have NEVER had to pay for a cleaning! And for the nasty billing letter threatening to turn me over to collections ... I MUST have received the other bills because they show they mailed them! This place has gotten roughly $2000 from me in 1 year and $850 (+$82 now) out of my own pocket. All Smiles, this is some "thank you for your business". I will never be back! BEWARE!
