Life Smiles Dental Care

Kelli has been our hygienist for years and we LOVE her! She’s excellent at her job and is such a pleasure! Highly recommend

Patient for over 10 years now. Still the wonderful and efficient dental office as always. Had a crown replacement today with a temporary crown installed. Update 2.12.25 Dr Nielsen checked my new crown installation and all is good! He even polished another tooth while at it. Always putting my best smile forward. Thanks Dr Nielsen! Update 11.6.26 My hygienist Kelly is always a joy to be with. She is gentle, friendly and has given me some very helpful tips for dry mouth and mouth sensitivity over the past years. Dr Schmidt came in to give his seal of approval. He's great, too, and although everything looked good today, he's performed expertly and gently in the past for fillings and temporary crowns. Still highly recommend this office and staff.

I can’t say enough good things about Life Smiles Dental Care. From the moment I walked in, the whole team was warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. The office is clean, modern, and comfortable (the mountain views and thoughtful touches like the TVs on the ceiling make a real difference). The doctors and hygienists take their time, explain everything clearly, and never rush you or try to upsell. They made me feel at ease the entire visit—something that’s rare at a dental office. The care was gentle, thorough, and professional, and I left feeling confident in the work that was done. This is the kind of practice that actually makes you look forward to your appointments. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a dentist in the Phoenix area.

After 10 years with another great Dentist office, I moved to Life Smiles and had my first appointment. I don’t think I have been greeted so warmly and had better dental care. Everyone from the front desk, hygienist, and dentist were wonderful. If you are looking for a new dentist office, Life Smiles should be on the top of your list.

Very friendly staff, everyone is so nice and they engage in conversation! I had my teeth cleaned by Mya and she was amazing! Gentle but thorough and explained every procedure! Very personable and made me feel comfortable and relaxed! Highly recommend Smiles Dental!

I’ve always had the best treatment and my teeth have been fixed perfectly. I needed about 10 years of dental work when I first started going and they tackled everything and each year we set up a treatment plan, now my teeth are perfect. Never any pain or discomfort either. The hygienist are all wonderful also, I look forward to get my teeth cleaned every six months to keep up with the good work they’ve done. They’ve been the best clinic I’ve been too and I never plan on going anywhere else.

Today was my first visit to Life Smiles. I found them to be well organized as and friendly. I so ER not very little time waiting during a visit with first, a dental assistant for X-rays, then Dr Schmidt for diagnoses and recommendation, they hygienist, who did a great job, was friendly and interesting, and finished my business at the scheduled 2. hours The facilities are also convenient and very nice. Overall, a five star experience.

My husband and I have been patients here for decades. It is a fine running machine. It is a very organized, caring, compassionate, hard working, and efficient team. Maryellen is extremely patient and understanding. She makes sure my visit is comfortable. She’s very detailed and uses the latest techniques to make me comfortable. She knows me!!! Dr. Nielson is amazing, always provides clear communication and very knowledgeable. While I have not had experience with all the staff, Meg, Kelli, Jackie, Dr. Schmidt, and Valerie have always been wonderful and cheerful. It’s a testament to how great the office is by the tenure of the staff. Again the office has great culture and work ethic with strong attention to detail. It sounds funny to say but they all make it a joy to go to the dentist!!! Thank you for being you and there when we need you!!!

As always, a wonderful experience. On time, friendly staff and not pushy about getting work done.

Life Smiles 7/15/26 Today My wife and I. 11am and Noon Life Smiles which I call The Absolute Ritz Carlton is the most flawless, seamless and caring Dental Office in this great country of ours. If I had to move from Arizona my wife and I would either drive or fly twice a year to come to Life Smiles. Readers trust on this. When our prior dentist in Palm Desert, Ca retired in 2015, I discovered a Jewel in Arizona Desert in Scottsdale, called Life Smiles. One of the Furst photos in my list below is my Dentist Dr Timothy Schmidt DMD, MAGD and the next to me is our dental hygienist Jackie who has a Touch of an Angel and the pureness of her heart and soul, like none other I promise you. The rest of the photos I tried to show the simple elegance of their Dental Office and offices. Trust on this, if you give Life Smiles just one chance, you’ll never go back to your dentist or anyone else for that matter🙌🏻🙌🏻❤️❤️

I always feel like I’m noticed for who I am. Despite the high volume in this office, I’m greeted by my name and treated personably and professionally. Great gem of an office.

I usually don’t write reviews, but I felt this place truly deserves one. Before coming to Life Smiles Dental Care, I visited another dental clinic. They didn’t treat me badly at all, but the experience felt very different. There was no communication at all. No one really took the time to listen to why I came in or what I had been going through for 3 months. The front desk staff and the doctor were serious, completed their work, and that was it. I left without feeling heard or comfortable. After that, While searching on Google Maps, I came across Life Smiles Dental Care. After reading the reviews, I decided to visit the clinic and I’m really glad I did. From the moment I walked in, my experience was completely different. I came here for my exam, X-rays, and cleaning and I’ll also be getting my deep cleaning and fillings done here. From start to finish, I interacted with about six different people, and every single one of them patiently listened to my entire story, answered all of my questions, and explained everything thoroughly. I never felt rushed. Everyone was friendly, gentle, professional, and genuinely cared about making me feel comfortable. One thing I really appreciated is that they focus on building a relationship with their patients instead of treating you like just another appointment. They also communicate through chat, which is very helpful and comfortable for people who have difficulty speaking or simply prefer messaging. I also want to mention the cost because I know many people compare prices. At the previous dental clinic, I was quoted $1,500 for my treatment plan. Here, the treatment plan is around $3,000, so I know it’s almost double. Even knowing that, I still chose Life Smiles Dental Care because I genuinely feel it’s worth it. The time they spent listening, the thorough examination, the detailed explanations, and the way they treated me gave me confidence that I was in the right place. Sometimes the cheapest option isn’t always the one that gives you the most confidence and comfort. Sorry I’m not mentioning any names. I don’t usually have the habit of asking people’s names because I naturally address everyone as Sir or Ma’am. So I don’t remember everyone’s names. But if every single person I interacted with was this kind, patient, and professional, I truly believe the rest of the team is just as amazing. This review is for everyone at the clinic. Life Smiles Dental Care has 5 stars for a reason. I’m really happy that I found this place, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dental office that truly cares about its patients. Thank you to the entire team!
