Scaling/Root Planing (Deep Cleaning) Near Me in Sun City, AZ

My first time here I came in because I had intense teeth and gum pain. After x-rays and a consult with Dr. Owens, he was able to do a quick bite adjustment and I had no pain. I hate going to the dentist, but these people were great, and the service was wonderful. They made me feel very comfortable. I would recommend this place to anyone in the Peoria area.

From a young age, Dr. Eric Wendelschafer was instilled with a strong work ethic, growing up in a family deeply rooted in the commercial construction industry. He spent much of his youth working alongside his family, learning the satisfaction of hands-on work and the value of dedication and craftsmanship.

He is honored to serve the oral health needs of the community and is committed to delivering the best possible care to each patient who walks through the door.

Dr. Wendelschafer’s interest in dentistry was sparked during high school when he had the opportunity to shadow oral surgeons his mother worked for. It was then that he realized he wanted to pursue a career in dentistry. He never shied away from a challenge. As a student athlete, he earned a track scholarship while balancing the demands of studying, training, and working part-time installing metal roof panels in the Arizona heat. His determination led him to pursue a degree at the Arizona School of Dentistry & Oral Health, where he graduated and then gained practical experience in a corporate dental setting in Mesa.

In time, Dr. Wendelschafer took over at Great Smiles Dental Care when the previous doctor retired, and he has since been dedicated to providing the communities of Surprise, Sun City, and beyond with healthy, beautiful smiles. He is passionate about helping his patients achieve their goals of good oral health and a fulfilling life through personalized, quality dental care. Dr. Wendelschafer is excited to welcome new patients to his practice and looks forward to working with each one to achieve lasting dental health.

I saw a lot of positive reviews for Adrian Pulkrabek DDS (Glendale, AZ) on Doctors Network, so I decided to schedule a cleaning and exam with them. The front desk receptionist was very kind and efficient. The hygienist did a phenomenal job cleaning my teeth, and after that was done, Dr. Pulkrabek examined my teeth in great detail. I got a clean bill of health! He didn’t try to push unnecessary services or procedures on me, and he didn’t try to make up problems to fix. I did have a discolored filling on my front tooth (from my last dentist), so I asked him about getting it refilled. He told me, “Sure, can you come in tomorrow?” The following day, the appointment took under an hour, and I walked out with a filling that matched the color of my tooth perfectly. Job well done - I’ve finally found my forever dentist!

I highly recommend Dentistry at Greenway! Dr. Gandhi is a lifesaver! I cracked my tooth in half at work and frantically started looking for a dentist that could get me in that day. I called and explained the situation and got an appointment immediately. The office was very clean and the staff was welcoming. Dr. Gandhi was very understanding and helpful. Fixed my tooth quickly and the charge was less than I had anticipated! Thank you, Dr. Gandhi! Definitely my favorite dentist!

After going to Dr. Pulkrabek at Family & Cosmetic Dental in Phoenix, I now realize my previous dentist was very old fashioned. Dr. Pulkrabek used some new technology that I have never seen in any other dentist office. Plus, they weren’t just rushing through cleaning my teeth; they were very thorough and examined my overall oral health, which included looking at my jaw muscles. They were detailed and explained everything thoroughly. They taught me so much about my teeth and gums, which never happened at my old dentist. Plus, they were very kind and pleasant to talk to.

My wife and I moved to Phoenix about a year ago, and we were nervous about finding a good dentist near me. We’ve tried three different places, but none of them were satisfactory. But I had a dental emergency in Phoenix a couple weeks ago. I lost my crown and after doing a bit of research decided to go to Dr. Kulkarni. I only had to go in once for her to get the crown completely finished. There was almost no pain, the only thing that hurt a little bit was the novocaine needle. The crown looks great. Anyone needing awesome dental work done should come here.

Thomas & Thomas Dental in Phoenix, AZ is an amazing practice! The staff is so kind, and Dr. Thomas is engaging and hilarious and overall a fantastic dentist!

I will be going to Dr. Muscato and his staff for all my dental needs in Phoenix, AZ until the day I die, and highly recommend other people to do the same. I started coming to him for my dental needs 3 years ago after having been to a couple other dentists around town. Dr. Muscato is the greatest dentist I’ve ever been to. He listens to and respects his patients. He will gladly answer any of your questions or concerns, he’s very patient. He’s done fillings and crowns for me, and I’m very happy with his work. His staff, including the hygienists and receptionists, are great. They’re very friendly.

I was a little nervous when my previous dentist in Mesa sold his business, but after being Dr. Nia’s patient for a couple of years now all my fears have gone away. He is very thorough in helping you understand every dental procedure. Appointments are easy to make around my work schedule. I never have to wait once I get there, and the staff is very personal. They treat you well. It’s always easy at this place because they offer the doctors network program, which makes it much more affordable to get dental work done compared to billing and other dental insurance in Mesa, AZ, which can sometimes be a headache. I really love this dentist in Mesa, and I recommend him to everyone.

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.
