About Risas Dental and Braces - Maryvale

Based on North 59th Avenue in Glendale, Arizona, Risas Dental and Braces - Maryvale is a dental practice serving the area. Traditional braces use brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into alignment, handling complex bite corrections and significant crowding more predictably than removable alternatives. Treatment commonly runs one to three years, with a retainer worn afterward to hold the result.

Orthodontic treatment straightens teeth and corrects bite problems using braces, clear aligners, or similar appliances over a period that commonly runs from about a year to several years depending on the case. It is offered to both children, where early evaluation can catch developing issues, and adults at any age.

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.

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.

Do braces hurt?
Fitting them does not hurt, but teeth are usually tender for a few days afterward and again after each adjustment. It settles as the teeth adapt, and over-the-counter pain relief covers it for most people.
Does orthodontic treatment hurt?
There is usually pressure and tenderness for a few days after braces are fitted or adjusted, or when moving to a new aligner. It is not typically described as painful, and it eases as the teeth settle.

The worst. I was trying to find a solution, but Dr. Barbón only made things worse. Two years of suffering until I finally said enough. Now, because of him, I not only had two teeth pulled that he couldn't even extract, but I've lost two more due to his shoddy work. I asked for a refund, and they told me it would take five months—it's a joke. Now I have to pay even more because of his poor work. He doesn't listen to what you say; he's just trying to take on too many patients and rushes everything. And when I asked for my refund, they made me sign something saying it wasn't bad work, implying I did it all myself.

I’m honestly so happy that I decided to come to Risas Dental. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and cared for. Dr. Sorensen was absolutely amazing. He was so kind, patient, and caring, and he made me feel comfortable and reassured throughout my visit. I also want to give a special thank you to his assistant, Edna. She was so sweet, helpful, and made the experience even better. You can truly tell when people genuinely care about their patients, and I felt that from both of them. I’m very grateful for the care I received and so happy I came here. ❤️ Thank you, Dr. Sorensen and Edna, for making what can sometimes be a stressful experience feel so comfortable and positive. I will definitely be recommending you to my family and friends! 🦷❤️

I went to their free dental day on Labor Day. Before coming to this location, I had went to two other ones and all of them were maxed out by 10am. But when I went to this location, they had a long line and were maxed out but I think maybe the manager came out to me as I walked to my car and said they will take me in. I was so thankful and everyone there was so kind, helpful. They also gave us chairs and passed out water. Highly recommend, thank you!!!

I went in today 6/16/26 to see troy slade about a few teeth that where causing me pain. Thanks to a train i was 16 minutes late to my appointment to which the wonderful ladies still accepted me. Intial cost was 10 bucks for x-rays and exam which is cheaper then any place I've ever been. After everything was done i found out i had 7 teeth that had to be extracted which i already knew about. Unfortunately access only covers 1000 dollars of emergency dental work. Which anyone knows is only 3 teeth getting pulled. Well doctor slade pulled all 7 and while the shots sucked i still barely felt them, and didn't feel one thing during the extractions. I have been in pain off and on (more on then off) for 25 years, and thanks to this saint of a man i will never play the when will it hurt next game.
