Most dental practices today are concerned with building only their numbers. They try to see as many patients as fast as possible, and as a result, patients feel rushed and stressed and end up with subpar dental work.
At Desert Vista Dental West, we do things differently than everyone else does, and thats exactly why our patients love us! Our main concern is building long and fulfilling relationships with our patients based on sincere compassion and well-earned trust. When people come to see us, we want them to know that theyll be treated like people, not a set of teeth with a wallet attached!
Our team will take the time to get to know you and your unique needs before we recommend any treatments so we can make sure your care is always perfectly tailored to your particular smile. This extra time is why were able to confidently stand behind our work, whether were providing a routine cleaning or replacing multiple missing teeth with dental implant restorations.
Our dentists and team at Desert Vista Dental West are united by an inner drive to provide dental care in Goodyear, Arizona, that puts compassion, relationships and truly stellar dentistry at the forefront of everything we do.

Dr. Collier and staff are amazing. My husband and I have been going to Dr. Collier for 2 years. We always are excited to go, yes I said excited. They make you feel like you are part of their dental family from the minute you walk in the door. The atmosphere is relaxing and I never feel afraid even when I have to have dental work done. Dr. Collier is always kind and gentle and explains everything she is going to do. She does not do things that are not necessary. She is the only dentist that I will let work on my teeth. My husband and I are so happy and feel very lucky we found her and her staff. We highly recommend her.

Dr Collier is amazing! I was having major pain and she was able to shuffle her schedule around to fit me on the same day. She solved my problem and even gave me a follow up call over the weekend just to be sure I was comfortable. I've since learned that she prides herself on education and attends more (than necessary) classes every year to perfect her trade. She's not only an extremely skilled dentist, but she cares and knows what she's doing! I drive past over a hundred dental practices to come see her. Worth it!!!!!!

Joy Collier has been the greatest dentist. She has been the only Dr. that has ever solved the problem with my husbands teeth. We have seen specialists every years budgeting thousands of dollars trying to fix his tooth. I met Joy Collier a few years ago frustrated from all my husbands dental experiences. I asked for her help. Today because of Dr. Collier we have no problems just normal teeth cleaning we are very grateful for all she has done. She also is very personable and just incredible.
