About David Herald DDS PLLC

Based on South Candy Lane in Cottonwood, Arizona, David Herald DDS PLLC is a dental practice serving the area. A dental implant replaces a missing tooth at the root, not just the crown — a small titanium post is placed in the jaw bone and, once it has integrated over a period of months, a replacement tooth is attached to it. It is generally the most durable option for a single missing tooth or several.

Cosmetic treatment is generally the least invasive branch of dentistry, built around changing how teeth look rather than fixing something broken. Whitening and bonding sit at the lighter end; veneers and reshaping involve more planning. Most cosmetic dental insurance excludes this kind of work, since it is elective rather than medically necessary.

Emergency dental care covers sudden problems that will not wait for a routine appointment — severe pain, a knocked-out or fractured tooth, swelling, or a lost filling that leaves a tooth exposed. Same-day or urgent appointments are the point of an emergency service, rather than the standard multi-week booking window.

A crown covers an entire damaged tooth — used when too much structure is missing for a filling to hold reliably, whether from a large fracture, extensive decay, or after root canal treatment. It restores both the shape and the biting strength of the tooth underneath.

Dentures replace some or all of the natural teeth in a jaw with a removable appliance, custom-fitted to the mouth. A full denture replaces every tooth; a partial fills gaps where some natural teeth remain. Because the jaw bone reshapes over time, dentures typically need adjusting or remaking periodically.

Professional teeth whitening uses a peroxide-based gel, applied under supervision at a strength stronger than anything sold over the counter, to lift years of staining from coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco. It works on natural enamel only — existing crowns, veneers, and fillings keep whatever shade they were made in.

Excellent experience as a new patient of Dr. Herald. At check-in, Stephanie was very warm and welcoming. Sarah, the hygienist was kind, gentle and thorough. Rachel completed my dental chart and identified previous work done. When Dr. Herald came in, he suggested a treatment plan while providing options so I could make an informed decision. The office was very clean and had great equipment. I definitely would recommend Dr. David Herald DDS.

I called to ask about teeth cleaning prices. The woman who answered gave me the price for a standard cleaning, but when I asked about the cost of a deep cleaning, she couldn't give me a concrete answer. I mentioned that I was looking for the best price because another clinic had quoted me an exorbitant amount. Immediately after that, she told me they weren't accepting new patients at the moment. When I asked when they might be able to take new patients, she said she didn't know. At that point, I lost all interest in dealing with them. It was very rude and unprofessional. I wasn't asking for a price down to the last cent—just a rough estimate. Surely, you can provide someone with a general price list; after all, you do this every day. It’s like going to a massage therapist and asking the price, only to have them say it depends on how thick your skin is or the size of your back. A terrible experience; I’ll never call them again.

I had an exceptional experience with Dr. David Herald and his entire team. From start to finish, the care was both highly professional and genuinely thoughtful. The X‑ray staff was gentle and efficient, the entire dental team attentive and skilled. My hygienist, Taylor, provided one of the most thorough yet comfortable cleanings I’ve ever had, she was wonderful throughout my visit! Stephanie, the office manager, made everything seamless with her warm, organized approach. This is a practice that truly cares about its patients, and it shows in every detail. Highly recommend.

My recent visit was my 2nd after having cleaning and exam one month earlier - which was very well done by Machelle. I needed a crown replacement. Dr. Herald is quite pleasant and proficient. He allowed me to pass on the Novocain. His equipment is state of the art compared to my previous dentist. I asked at the end for sandblasting and a patch at the top edge of a lower front tooth. He did that quite nicely and for a very reduced price as I was already paying for the expendables and other!
