At Doctors Network, our goal is to help Arizonians enjoy the benefits of affordable, high-quality dental care without worrying about having to pay exorbitant out-of-pocket expenses.

    My family has been going to Able Dental for about 2 years now, and we truly love it. As someone who used to work for a dentist in Phoenix, I feel as though I have enough knowledge to make an educated recommendation, and I would give this place 6 stars if I could. We have seen multiple dentists and hygienists here, and while they’re all wonderful I have to give Dr. Muscato a particular shout out, she rocks. Every visit is awesome, they truly take care of their patients here. (Even when my 8 year old son was throwing a fit). All of the staff are easy to talk to and professional. They have the latest technology to ensure you’re getting the best dental care. We never have to wait long in the waiting room, they’re very punctual. Their staff makes billing easy, even when we had questions regarding the dental plan. I can’t imagine going anywhere else.

    My previous dentist referred me to Thomas & Thomas Dental in Phoenix, AZ for an extraction, and I was so amazed! They didn’t make me wait at all, and the procedure didn’t hurt one bit. Dr. Thomas and his staff are so warm and likable. Before I headed out, I scheduled a cleaning appointment!

    I've been going to Smile-ist in Phoenix since 2017, and I highly suggest them to all my friends! I recently moved 30 minutes away from Phoenix, and for a second thought about finding another dentist that was closer to me. But then I remembered how incredibly courteous, knowledgeable and completely amazing Dr. Kulkarni and the team are, and I knew that I wanted to stay with Smile-ist. When I went in for my cleaning last month, I was welcomed with smiles and was seen quickly. The hygienist was courteous, detailed, and did an amazing job. Dr. Kulkarni comes by for an exam with every cleaning and is always very sweet and caring. Simply put Smile-ist is simply amazing! If you need a dentist in Phoenix be sure and give them a try – I promise you won't regret it!

    I was referred to Dr. Pulkrabek at Family & Cosmetic Dental in Phoenix, and I’m so glad I listened and went to see him. I have a ton of dental issues, but Dr. Pulkrabek walked me through the perfect treatment plan to fix them all. He’s so considerate and highly skilled but not strict. The staff here always makes me laugh, and they’re very kind and detail oriented. They always follow up with me to ask how I’m doing after my treatment, and they even answer my calls after hours when I have questions. Parking can be hard to find sometimes, but they never try to rush through my appointments.

    My friend recommended Mesa Dental Care and Dr. Nia and her hygienist a couple months ago, and I finally made an appointment the other day. They were very friendly on the phone, answered the questions I had about my discount dental plan that I signed up for in office, and they got me scheduled for the next week. When I got there the Patient Care Coordinator (what an awesome title) made me feel very comfortable. She went through a more detailed explanation of how my dental plan in Mesa Dental Care would work with the procedures that were going to be done. Then I met the doctors, who were even more friendly and professional than they were over the phone, which I didn’t think was possible. They walked me through the whole procedure and explained why photos and x-rays of my mouth were necessary. I think they could tell I was nervous and that I needed all the information they gave me in order to be reassured. I’ve had Mesa dentists who don’t answer my questions or tell me I need procedures that I really didn’t need, they just want to get more out of me. Dr. Nia didn’t do that. I usually hate dentists, but I’m very happy with this place’s work. I completely trust, and would recommend them to anyone, they really know their stuff.

    Dr. Kunthara and the rest of the staff at Simon Dental Care in Mesa are very kind and knowledgeable. A couple years ago I moved back from college where I had a previous dentist in Phoenix. This place let me come in as a transfer patient and was very thorough in their explanation of everything. They went through my treatment plan, asked me what my goals for my teeth were, took molds and casts of my current teeth, and just overall have been very thorough. I did research and I found a lot of options, but ultimately went with this place, and I’m glad I did. You can tell how much these people love their jobs by the high quality of work they do. I’ve recommended this place to my friends and family, trying to convince my family to drive a couple extra miles to come to Dr. Kunthara. She adjusted a wire for me the other day and then she called me later that day to make sure I wasn’t in any pain and that I didn’t have any questions. I’ve never seen any other dentist do that, and so that’s why I wrote this review. They truly have excellent customer service, they’re like no other place I’ve ever been to, and that’s why I have to recommend this place.

    I love that Dr. Pulkrabek is always so funny, and he dresses really well...hold up, I think I’m supposed to be reviewing the entire staff at Adrian Pulkrabek DDS in Glendale, AZ, haha! I love Adrian Pulkrabek DDS. Because of them, I actually like going to the dentist, which is a first. The dental hygienists are perfectionists, so they always do a great job with the cleanings. They taught me more about my dental hygiene than any other dentist office I’ve been to. Before them, I didn’t know where tarter usually formed in my mouth and the spots I need to clean a little better. Dr. Pulkrabek is also a perfectionist, which is a good thing for me and my teeth! He’s given me a dental bridge and has even called me a few days later (even on the weekend) to make sure I was doing okay. He’s very confident in his work, so rest assured, you’ll be taken care of! They have flexible hours so you can get your cleanings done no matter what your schedule looks like. I strongly suggest you give them a try. It’s the first time I’ve ever been excited about getting my teeth cleaned!

    Went in for a teeth cleaning at Copper Star Dentistry the other day. Dr. Owens listened to my concerns and was very knowledgeable. I look forward to having him as my permanent dentist in Peoria, AZ. He’s trustworthy, I don’t think she would ever try to get me to pay for services I didn’t really need, unlike other dentists I’ve been too. Best dentist in Peoria, I’ve already recommended all my friends.

Can scaling and root planing help me reverse gum disease?

b
brush-whisperer-151

In many cases, gingivitis can be reversed with scaling and root planing (known as deep cleaning) and a strict routine of good hygiene and preventative dental care. However, if the condition progresses into periodontitis, then it might no longer be reversible, and will have to be controlled through regular periodontal maintenance.

What is scaling/root planing (Deep Cleaning)?

f
fluoride-achiever-2

Gingivitis marks the beginning of periodontal disease, and describes inflammation in the gums caused by excessive oral bacteria buildup (in the form of plaque and tartar). Because gingivitis occurs underneath the gums, routine dental cleaning won’t suffice to treat it. Scaling and root planing, also known as deep cleaning, involves removing plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line. Then, your periodontist will smooth the roots of your teeth underneath the gums to discourage further oral bacteria buildup. As plaque and tartar accumulate on the roots, the buildup and resulting inflammation cause your gum tissues to recede slightly from your teeth. This creates deepening periodontal pockets where oral bacteria can continue to gather and multiply, worsening the infection and inflammation. Periodontal cleaning helps stop the infection by removing the films of plaque and tartar from your roots (scaling), and then smoothing their surfaces (planing) to inhibit bacterial buildup as your gums heal. In cases where gum disease has already developed, scaling and root planing should be followed by a strict schedule of checkups, cleanings, and periodontal maintenance. Your periodontist can prescribe appropriate treatment options, such as gingival grafting or pocket reduction surgery, to fortify your compromised tissues so you can recover from gum disease.

It was so easy to find a doctor and make an appointment. I didn't have to take hours to call different offices and find out who takes my insurance and who doesn't.

I'm a freelancer, so I can't buy insurance easily, so I always ended up paying a lot for doctors' visits. I signed up for a Doctors Network dental plan, and my dental cleanings cost only $25 now. If you don't have dental insurance I highly recommend it.
