Who likes going to the dentist??? Even for a cleaning?? But the hygenists at Beckham Dental are wonderful and make it pleasant to go there! The staff is great and as far as Dr. Mike Beckham......he is FABULOUS!
Our office does not operate like a clinic. We are not interested in seeing volumes of patients each day. Rather, we are dedicated to delivering excellent dental care to those who honor us by trusting us to care for them. We treat you as we would treat a member of our family. Its that simple. I hope you'll give us the opportunity to care for you too. I look forward to seeing you soon.
You may have heard that we do excellent restorative dental work, but you may not know that we go beyond just caring for your mouth. We truly care about our patients, especially those with challenging dental cases.
Many times, we treat people who have tried to get help at other dental practices and were turned away. These patients and countless others came to us with severe dental problems, and through the skills, experience, and compassion of Dr. Beckham and our entire team, we were able to give them a healthy mouth and a grateful smile. Trust that our dental team can do the same for you.
We want you to be at ease while you are with us. That starts with the cookies we set out each morning and continues with the blankets, pillows, TVs, and headphones we provide for your comfort. If you need a little extra comfort, we offer sedation dentistry to help you fully relax during your time here.
Dr. Beckham and Dr. Campbell have more than 35 years of combined dental experience and have taken countless hours of continuing education courses to make sure they can provide up-to-date, effective, and efficient treatment for all of our patients.
The dental team at Beckham Dental will take great care of your smile. Call us today at 480-214-9060 to set up a time to come and visit us. You can also use our online form to schedule a visit as well as ask us questions or leave a comment.
and thanks for visiting our website. My name is Mike Beckham and I have been a dentist here in Phoenix for the past thirty-five years. I'm the luckiest guy you'll find. I've got a great wife and family, and absolutely love being a dentist
My father told us you'll find out everything you need to know about a person by working with them. This statement could not be more true. My work experience as a youth and young adult allowed me to befriend a cross-section of our population that I would not otherwise have had the pleasure of knowing. I'm truly grateful for that opportunity.
Dr. Beckham's family rule growing up was that he had to work or play sports. He played high school football and, in the summer months during high school and college, worked at factories on the south side of Chicago. After graduating from high school, Dr. Beckham attended the University of Arizona for his undergraduate degree. He went back home to Illinois to attend dental school at the University of Illinois before moving to Phoenix in 1981, where he was an associate dentist for two years.
Dr. Beckham decided to start his own practice after watching patient after patient not get the care and service they deserved. After 25 years, he sold his practice and started Beckham Dental here in Cave Creek. One of the most rewarding parts of his job is when he is able to take a patient who has been treated poorly in the past and give them the dental care they deserve. When he cares for these people, restores them back to function, and provides them with a beautiful new smile, it is life-changing for both him and the patients.
Dr. Beckham has been married to his wife, Rene, for the past 20 years. They have two sons: Their older son works as a water resource manager, and their younger son is a sophomore at Northern Arizona University. They have three cattle dogs who love to chase tennis balls outside and a 20-year-old African Grey Parrot named Joey, whose favorite activity is riding on the handlebars of Dr. Beckham's bike. Dr. Beckham's other interests include hiking, running, and hanging out in Cave Creek.

Since graduating from dental school in 1981, I have taken countless hours of continuing education in all facets of dentistry. Most years, I have recorded two to three times the number of hours required by the state board. This, combined with over twenty-nine years of clinical practice experience, affords me the opportunity to provide cutting edge, top quality dental services to you and your family.
