Are You New to Scottsdale? 4 Fun Tips to Find a Family Dentist (and Explore the City!)

Apr 28 2025

Welcome to Scottsdale! Did you move here for the sunshine, the golf courses, the art galleries, or did you want a fresh start in The Grand Canyon State? Whatever may have brought you here, you've picked an amazing place to call home! Scottsdale is vibrant, active, and full of hidden gems. 

If you're settling in and wondering, "How do I find a great family dentist here?" don't worry! Dynamite Smiles Dentistry has your back. We'll guide you through it and introduce you to some local landmarks you'll definitely want to check out.

Here's your ultimate guide to finding a Scottsdale family dentist and making this little slice of heaven feel a little more like home. 

1. Look for a Dentist That Feels Like Family

You want a dentist who treats people, not just teeth. A great family dentist in Scottsdale should make every member of your crew feel welcome, from toddlers to grandparents. Look for a practice that offers:

  • A warm, friendly environment
  • Flexible appointment times
  • Services for all ages, like cleanings, braces consultations, and even cosmetic treatments if you need a little smile refresh after the big move

At Dynamite Smiles Dentistry, we're proud to be the kind of place where patients feel like family, and we're just around the corner when you need us.

2. Read Reviews (and Trust Your Gut!)

Before you pick your new dental home, check out online reviews. Happy patients love to share their stories, and not-so-happy ones will warn you if something's off. Look for consistent mentions of:

  • Friendly, knowledgeable staff
  • Focus on comfort 
  • Clean, modern dental office
  • Easy scheduling
  • Excellent care with kids (if you have little ones)

Once you narrow down a few options, don't be afraid to call and ask questions. How they treat you on the phone says a lot about how they'll treat you in the chair.

3. Find a Dentist Near Your New Favorite Local Spots

You're going to be out and about exploring Scottsdale anyway, so why not find a dentist near places you'll love visiting?

Here are some awesome local landmarks near Dynamite Smiles Dentistry:

  • McDowell Sonoran Preserve — If you're craving fresh air and jaw-dropping desert views, this massive preserve has over 200 miles of trails. It's great for hiking, biking, and quick weekend adventures.
  • Pinnacle Peak Park — This iconic peak is perfect for a family hike and some amazing Instagram-worthy shots.
  • Scottsdale Quarter — There's shopping, dining, and even a splash pad for the kids. It's a fantastic spot to unwind after a dental appointment.
  • Butterfly Wonderland — This is one of the largest butterfly conservatories in the country. It's seriously magical and a perfect way to reward yourself or your kiddos after a checkup.
  • Desert Ridge Marketplace — Just a short drive from our area, this outdoor mall has shops, restaurants, live music, and events. There's so much fun packed into one place!

Choosing a dentist that's close to your usual stomping grounds makes appointments way less stressful, and it's easy to reward yourself with a post-visit treat!

4. Ask About Insurance and Payment Options (Before You Fully Commit)

Nothing takes the sparkle off a great dentist like an unexpected bill. Before you book, make sure your new dentist:

  • Accepts your insurance
  • Offers clear payment plans if needed
  • Helps you maximize your benefits

At Dynamite Smiles Dentistry, we work hard to make everything clear and simple. We believe in providing transparent, honest care, so there will never be any surprises when it comes to treatment or cost.
