About Compass Point Dental

Compass Point Dental is a dental practice on West Northern Avenue in Glendale, Arizona. General dentistry covers the routine and restorative care most people need most often — examinations, cleanings, fillings, and preventive checks that catch problems while they are still small and inexpensive to treat. Regular attendance, roughly every six months for most patients, is what makes that early-catch approach actually work.

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.

Can a general dentist handle a dental emergency?

Why do dentists take X-rays?
Decay between teeth and problems below the gumline are invisible to the naked eye, so X-rays are what reveal them. Modern digital images use a low dose and are taken only when clinically justified.

I had a great experience with Dr. Slack and the Compass Point Dental Team. I was dealing with a severely damaged tooth and feared the worst, but Dr. Slack worked wonders to save it. Dr. and his assistant Joanna explained the whole process clearly and made sure I was comfortable. Thank you for the excellent care.

I had a sensitive in one of lower left incisor teeth. So I contacted Compass Dental Office to see if they can do an inspection. So went to their office the same day. Inspection were performed and was referred to another dental for a possibility of an implant, before modifying for lower teeth support.

“I had a great experience with this dental office. The staff was friendly and very professional, and they made the whole process easy and comfortable. The dentist explained everything clearly while working on my crown and made sure I was doing well the whole time. The office is very clean and organized. I highly recommend them!”

First time in the office to get X-rays and a treatment plan going and I am excited to say I feel like I found my new dentist . From the moment I arrived, the ladies at the front desk were very welcoming and polite. I did not feel out of place at all. Robert Gomez and Dr . Slacker were very attentive and answers all my questions. They made me feel comfortable and addressed any concerned I had without making me feel rushed. I am looking forward to getting work done here. Thank you Compass Point Dental❤️

I love Dr.Slack and all the girls that work there! I’ve had a lot of bad dentist in my time and I was nervous to go to another dentist but he was very close to my home so I gave him a try.Well he has so much work to mouth because I neglected my teeth for a long time because of bad experiences and no insurance for a long time.So now poor Dr Slack has kinda rebuilt my mouth the best that can.Now my son has insurance and have him see Dr.Slack and he is so good with son! My son is adult with some emotional issues but Dr.Slack is great with him.I’m glad I found Dr.Slack and all the other girls that keeps the place going.Thank you

wow. I don't mind coming here to let Dr. Slack care for my teeth and gums. Nice staff and waiting room is always good to have, but dentists like Dr. Slack are special. He really understands the patient's point of view. Making sure we are comfortable, that we understand what is trouble, what can be done, and even during procedures, Dr. Slack communicates what he's about to do. I have had many dentists and Dr. Slack is one who cares more about what's best for the patient not his own wallet. The entire office is kept clean too. A well run practice that we can trust.
