About Center For Progressive Dentistry

Center For Progressive Dentistry is a dental practice on East Desert Cove Avenue in the Central Scottsdale area of Scottsdale, Arizona. Sedation dentistry uses inhaled, oral, or intravenous options to help patients relax through treatment, ranging from nitrous oxide for mild anxiety through to deeper sedation for longer or more involved procedures. It is commonly used for patients who have avoided the dentist for years due to fear.

Children benefit from starting dental visits early, generally by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth coming through, mainly so they become familiar with the setting before any treatment is actually needed. Establishing that routine early tends to make ongoing checkups far less stressful for both child and parent.

Payment and insurance arrangements vary by practice and by treatment, so it is worth asking directly what is covered and what options exist for anything that is not, rather than assuming either way. Getting that clarified before treatment starts avoids surprises once it is underway.

Beyond any single treatment, most dental visits start with an examination — checking for decay, reviewing the gums, and looking at existing fillings or crowns — often alongside X-rays where there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth. That groundwork is what a dentist uses to explain any findings and set out next steps before you leave.

Routine attendance, roughly every six months for most people, is what actually keeps small problems small. A lot of decay and gum disease develops without any pain in its early stages, which is why regular checkups matter even when nothing seems to be wrong, rather than only booking an appointment once something hurts.

A first appointment at a new practice typically covers a full examination, a review of your dental and medical history, and a professional cleaning, with X-rays if you do not have recent ones. It is also a reasonable time to raise any longer-term concerns, cosmetic or otherwise, so they can be factored into a plan going forward.

What sedation options are available at the dentist?
Commonly inhaled sedation, oral sedatives taken beforehand, and intravenous sedation for more involved cases. They differ in depth and in how long the effects last, so what is offered depends on the treatment and the practice.
Will I be unconscious under dental sedation?
Usually not. Most dental sedation leaves you conscious but deeply relaxed, often with little memory of the procedure afterward. General anaesthesia, where you are fully unconscious, is reserved for specific circumstances.
Is it normal for teeth to be sensitive to cold?
Mild, brief sensitivity is common and often relates to exposed root surfaces or worn enamel. Sensitivity that lingers after the cold is removed is more significant and worth having examined, as it can indicate the nerve is involved.

Went in today as an emergency visit as discomfort with a tooth for three days, but was very relieved to find out. It was a gum sensitivity and was told to use saltwater rinse and call if it didn’t clear up. What a great honest group. From the greeting when you arrive, to the see you next time, everyone you come in contact with is genuinely interested in taking excellent care of you, and making sure you don't leave with unanswered questions! All staff is outstanding and I truly appreciate the care!

New to Scottsdale and lucky to find Progressive Dentistry for the two of us. Just started a crown today and after a lot of drilling the temporary feels great! The gals on staff are all wonderful and seems like a very upscale hi-tech Dentistry. So far very satisfied......... Give them a try!

I went in for an Invisalign appointment today with Dr. Bitton and had a wonderful experience. Her assistant was fantastic—so efficient and gentle during the Invisalign scan, which made the process quick and comfortable. Dr. Bitton explained my treatment plan thoroughly and clearly, and her level of knowledge and attention to detail really stood out. I left feeling confident and excited about moving forward with treatment. Highly recommend.

Well I really never thought I would be writing a review for a dentist, but I literally have been thinking about Dr Bitton 4 weeks ever since she did a crown for me. First of all, she was incredibly responsive and met with me after hours to address a broken tooth. Second, she and her team adjusted their schedules to get me in quickly before an upcoming event. Third, everyone was just incredibly professional, positive and pleasant. I really can't say enough good things. It's so nice to find a dentist that you're just comfortable with forever! Appreciate this team.
