About Desert Ridge Periodontics & Implant Dentistry

Desert Ridge Periodontics & Implant Dentistry is a dental practice on East Bell Road in the Paradise Valley Village area of Scottsdale, Arizona. Periodontics is the specialty focused on the gums and the bone supporting the teeth, handling more advanced gum disease, related surgical treatment, and — in many practices — dental implant placement, which sits naturally alongside that training.

Continuity matters in dental care — seeing the same practice over time means your history, X-rays, and any patterns in your oral health are already on file, rather than starting from scratch at each visit. That familiarity is part of what a regular dental home offers beyond any single appointment.

Dental anxiety is common, and most practices are used to working with nervous patients — through clear explanations of what is about to happen, a slower pace where needed, and sedation options for patients who want them. Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety tends to make eventual treatment more involved, not less.

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. This page has the practice's contact details and full service list.

When should I see a periodontist instead of a general dentist?
Usually on referral, when gum disease has advanced beyond what routine treatment is resolving — deep pockets, ongoing bone loss, or gum recession needing surgical management.
What is gum recession and can it be treated?
Recession is when gum tissue pulls back and exposes more of the tooth root, often from aggressive brushing, gum disease, or grinding. Grafting procedures can cover exposed roots, though how well that works depends on the extent of the recession.
How often should I have a dental check-up?
Every six months suits most people. If you have gum disease or a history of decay a dentist may suggest coming more often. The point of regular visits is mostly to catch problems while they are still small and cheap to treat.

No longer caring for existing patients, doctor closed practice to teach and left old patients hanging and only sees special cases. Thanks Dr Indech for abandoning my care

Well, I guess everyone else had a better experience than mine. I contacted them twice on their web page to set up an appointment and never heard from them. I even filled out all of their paperwork to avoid wasting time in the office. Still nothing and it's been over 3 weeks since my initial contact. I'm dealing with desperate medical need and got ignored. I'll try elsewhere.

I actually work at a referring office and wanted to express how amazing Heather at the front desk was in our interactions today. Thank you for your help and for providing exceptional care to your patients! 🫶🏼💗

I am always greeted by Heather who is very professional. She lets Danielle know as soon as I arrive for my appointments. Numerous magazines are available in the waiting room, but I don't usually wait much time before Danielle opens the door. She is thorough and very gentle in her approach, and I actually look forward to my regularly-scheduled cleanings. She is adept at using state-of-the-art equipment and is an extraordinary hygienist! The location is beautiful and easy to access on Tatum Blvd. off the 101 right across from the Desert Ridge Marketplace.

The team at Desert Ridge Periodontics is unlike any other dental team in the valley. I have been afraid of coming to the dentist for as long as I can remember, but the second I stepped foot into the office and was greeted by Heather I knew I had found the practice I wanted to stay with. To begin, Heather is genuinely one of the kindest and most genuine people I have ever met. She is so intelligent and knowledgeable in this field and was able to provide an answer to every question I had in regards to treatment and insurance. Upon meeting Heather, I was blown away with Carsen and Stephanie as they were nothing but positivity the entire appointment. The two of them are extremely educated in the field and went over everything in regards to what the appointment was about, what we were going to be doing and post operative instructions from treatment. Dr. Indech was more then a delight to meet and do treatment with. From the first appointment with him, he was able to answer every question I had and did not make me feel rushed in any way. He is very soft spoken and his bedside manners are unlike any other. I haven't felt comfortable doing treatment with a doctor until I came to Dr. Indech. Following treatment I met Danielle, the hygienist. I was very worried to go to her as I haven't had the best experiences with hygienists in the past, but she changed my opinion forever. She is so thorough and understanding of every patients needs. Afterwards she explained to me the things I needed to work on without making me feel embarrassed. I have nothing but good things to say about her. I would recommend this office to anyone for any dental needs. They have surpasses my expectations by a long shot. Its not often that I am so impressed by an office to take the time out of the day to write this extensive of a review, but if anyone deserves it, its this team! I couldn't be more thankful!

I could not be happier with my experience from Dr Indech and his staff. I came in there because I was not happy with my gum line and wanted this corrected. 1, they are so professional and they make you feel very comfortable. They don't pressure you into anything and give you the best options possible. 2 They are so precise with their work and very gentle. I didn't experience any pain with the procedure I wanted, and 3, the results were wonderful. I definitely smile with a lot more confidence and I couldn't have done that without Dr Indech and his staff. I highly recommend him for any kind of cosmetic work. I think he is a perfectionist and he really will go the extra mile to make sure this happens.
