Old Town family + cosmetic dental practice
Smyleee Rating
Outstanding
Alpers Family and Cosmetic Dentistry is ranked in the top 3 on 2 Smyleee Top 10 lists.
Alpers Family and Cosmetic Dentistry is a general-and-cosmetic practice on East McDonald Drive in South Scottsdale, near the Old Town corridor. The office combines routine family-dentistry work — cleanings, fillings, crowns, restorative care — with cosmetic dentistry like veneers, whitening, and bonding, which suits South Scottsdale and Old Town households who want both their family-dental visits and any aesthetic case at the same office. The named-owner setup keeps continuity across cases rather than rotating providers each visit, useful for multi-visit cosmetic treatment that stretches across appointments.
Patients searching for a general dentist near them in Scottsdale, a dentist for the whole family in Scottsdale, or a preventive and restorative dentist in Scottsdale can find a complete generalist program here, with cleanings, tooth-colored fillings, crowns, bridges, and root canal therapy all handled at the same office, alongside basic extractions, gum-disease care, and pediatric exams. Cosmetic touch-ups like teeth whitening, dental bonding, and porcelain veneers are available for patients who want an aesthetic step alongside their regular cleanings.
If you live in Old Town, near McDonald Drive, or in the South Scottsdale residential corridors and want a single practice that handles both your routine cleanings and any cosmetic work that comes up, Alpers is the kind of dual-focus setup that fits long-term continuity.
Pricing here lands in the standard range for an established South Scottsdale family-and-cosmetic practice — most major insurance plans are accepted on the family-dentistry side, treatment estimates are presented before any procedure, and cosmetic cases are quoted with material trade-offs walked through up front. For Old Town and South Scottsdale families looking for a long-term dental home that also handles aesthetic cases, this practice belongs on the shortlist alongside the other established McDonald Drive generalists. Cosmetic consultations typically run longer than routine cleaning visits since planning matters more than procedure time on most veneer cases. Office hours typically include early-morning and end-of-day appointment slots that fit working family schedules, and new-patient intake usually fits into a first-cleaning visit within a couple of weeks.
Alpers Family and Cosmetic Dentistry on East McDonald Drive in South Scottsdale combines general family dentistry with cosmetic work — veneers, whitening, bonding — for Old Town and South Scottsdale patients.

Outstanding Care from Dr. Alpers & Katy! Dr. Alpers and his hygienist, Katy, deliver some of the best dental care you’ll find. Relocating to Arizona from out of state, it was important to find the best care for myself, and my family. Dr. Alpers, and Katy's professionalism, knowledge, and use of state‑of‑the‑art technology make every visit smooth and comfortable. The office is friendly, polished, and genuinely welcoming, with a staff that treats you with real courtesy. Dr. Alpers’ growing list of accolades, including the recent cover of AZ Business' "Who’s Who in Health" The One Hundred Best Doctors list in December 2025 —speaks for itself, and trust me when I say Dr. Alper's stands head and shoulders above the competition. Katy is equally exceptional: thorough, gentle, and incredibly skilled. Together, they make dental care something you can actually look forward to. A top‑tier team all around!
I heard great things about Alpers Family and Cosmetic Dentistry on Reddit, so I decided to check them out for myself. I went in for a routine cleaning and was genuinely impressed from start to finish. Rylie did my cleaning and she was amazing. The dentist usually makes me very anxious, but she immediately made me feel comfortable. She is incredibly personable and I felt an immediate connection to her, which made a huge difference. She explained every step of the process and really listened when I shared my concerns. The entire visit was painless, easy, and stress free, which is not something I ever thought I would say about a dental appointment. The office also uses state of the art technology that I have never seen in a dental practice before. They did a full 3D scan of my mouth, which Rylie used to clearly point out areas of concern. They even use AI to support their diagnostics, which was impressive and reassuring.
I had such a great experience at Alpers Family and Cosmetic Dentistry today. I had my first cleaning here after deciding to switch from my previous office, and I can honestly say I’ve never had such an easy and relaxing cleaning before. My hygienist, Rylie, was absolutely amazing. I really liked how she took her time during the cleaning, made sure everything was thoroughly cleaned, and was very gentle throughout the entire process. She also did a great job explaining everything she was doing, and I even learned some new things about my teeth—which was a huge plus. It was also great to see Dr. Olmos again. She’s truly the reason I no longer have cavities and why my dental health has improved so much. She also helped fix my high bite, which made a huge difference. She was the main reason I switched over in the first place, but now I can confidently say both Dr. Olmos and Rylie are the reason I’ll be staying. They’re amazing at what they do.
Felt very comfortable here! Was greeted by Katy, my Registered Dental Hygienist, who gave me a very thorough review and cleaning of my teeth seeing it was the 1st Cleaning here. She made me feel comfortable and pointed out some options for my well being. Met Dr. Alpers, who reviewed what Katy had captured and gave my mouth a clean bill of health, with a few items to take care of in the near future. From the moment i walked in til the moment i left, i felt very comfortable with everyone i came in contact with - Highly recommend Katy and Dr. Alpers!!!

We totally believe and trust that the staff truly listens to us and works very hard to address our needs and concerns while still providing topnotch and state of the art dental care. We sincerely recommend Dr. Alpers and his staff without any reservations. We are totally confident that you will be as delighted and happy with your decision as we have been with our decision.
