The demands of your everyday life can make it hard to get to the dentist. Or maybe its the thought of an impersonal office or an unpleasant past experience that holds you back. Weve set out to provide the personalized, high-quality dental care you deserve, when and where you need it. First we make sure youre comfortable. Then we make sure its affordable.
Proper dental hygiene is not only important to keep your smile looking good, it is also mandatory for a lifetime of good oral health. By practicing good dental hygiene, you drastically decrease your risk of developing cavities and gum disease which are associated with the buildup of dental plaque. Nearly everyone is taught how to brush and floss their teeth at an early age, but many people forget how to do so with proper technique.
By following these dental hygiene routines twice each day, you are guaranteed to decrease your chances of developing cavities and periodontal disease. Talk to Smile Today about any concerns you may have regarding your dental health.
No child should have to experience cavity treatments at an early age, which is why we offer dental sealants. These protective, safe plastic coverings are painted onto the surface of teeth and are very effective in preventing cavities.
Everybody knows that oral health is important, which is why most people brush and floss regularly. Unfortunately, many people arent brushing or flossing properly, which may eventually lead to periodontal disease. While many people focus their oral hygiene practices around their teeth, the health of the gums is equally important. Additionally, habits such as drinking alcohol and using tobacco contribute to the growing number of cases of periodontal disease among adults. It is important for everyone to pay special attention to their own periodontal maintenance each day.
Make a point of properly brushing and flossing your teeth each day to maintain periodontal health. You should also visit your dentist, as suggested, to receive professional cleanings and inspections that are important for catching negative oral health conditions before they become serious issues.

I've only been here 1ce so far. After seeing 6 other ones. And I'm happy to say they actually surprised me. I was opting for full mouth xtract. But the Dr. Seemed to be vary adamit about me loosing all my teeth at only 28 years old. And gave me the facts that full dentures only have a 20-30% functionality that your regular teeth Do. And opted to save some teeth rather than pull them all. . They make 2 different plans for me, one that'd saving some and one that's pulling them all so I could see the difference and choose for myself . Do that'd was pretty cool. Plus they take my insurance so....haha nice.

My tooth was really bothering me and I did not have a dentist in Arizona yet. I made a few calls and Riggs family dentist squeezed me in even though they were closing at noon. I'm happy to report, one good thing happened from this unpleasant experience; I found my new dentist! I highly recommend you check them out.

Everyone here is amazing. My teeth have been a source of embarrassment for a long time now, and I dreaded going to the dentist in fear of the experience. Dr. Maurer was extremely pleasant, making what I surely thought would be a nightmare into a much more positive, reassuring visit. Thank you Dr Maurer and crew!

I find them all to be very kind. The front desk girls are friendly and the Hygienist is so sweet. The Dentist took time to explain everything. I have terrible anxiety especially when at the dentist but I felt calm and well taken care of and I appreciate all of them.
