About Shea Dental of Scottsdale

Shea Dental of Scottsdale provides dental care on North Scottsdale Road in the Central Scottsdale area of Scottsdale, Arizona. Holistic, or biological, dentistry applies standard dental diagnosis and treatment within an approach that emphasises material choice and conservative treatment, considering oral health as connected to the body more broadly rather than treating the mouth in isolation.

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.

Day-to-day oral health still comes down to the basics between visits — brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between the teeth, and limiting how often sugary food and drink appear through the day matters more than the total amount eaten at once. Regular professional care is what catches whatever those habits do not.

They overlap but are not the same thing. Cosmetic dentistry is about appearance specifically, while holistic dentistry is a broader philosophy about material choice and treating the mouth as connected to overall health, which can apply to any treatment including cosmetic work.

My experience today at Shea Dental was excellent. As always, the dental Hygienist Sandy was thorough and skilled (and nice) and Dr Siegel, who we have been seeing for decades, was professional as always. The staff that supports them are great as well.It’s a very well run business.

Shea Dental have been absolutely incredible! I went to Shea Dental and Dr Josh Raiffe for Invisalign and the process was very smooth, efficient and easy. All the staff are super knowledgeable and they actually make going to the dentist enjoyable. I didn't know what was involved but the friendly staff made me super comfortable and ultimately pain free! (Which is a rarity when it comes to the dentist). Thank you so much to Dr Josh and his incredible team for helping me achieve a healthy and straighter smile :)

Shea Dental never disappoints! It’d been a while since my last visit. Life gets in the way sometimes. Despite that, everyone treated me like an old friend. Every single person who works for Shea Dental is so friendly and helpful. They definitely put the client first. I cannot recommend Shea Dental enough! It is by far the best office I’ve ever been to.

Staff is kind and smiles, Dr Raiffe is energetic, educates about processes and is very encouraging. I sought ozone dentistry for a multitude of reasons and I am so glad to have found Dr Raiffe, all his staff who worked with me and for me. Yay for Mercury free mouth and keeping my stressed out teeth! Thank you from my heart

The best combination of a very professional and also very friendly and caring team! I had a great experience getting an urgent procedure done as well as a few things done that I had neglected over the years. I HIGHLY recommend Shea Dental!

After 40 years my dentist retired. I was referred to Dr Kristen by a friend after my dental practice got sold to a dentist whose practice was not well run. Dr Kristen, Alissa her hygienist and the entire office staff was so pleasant. This was refreshing as I came from a different dental office looking for better care. I love she is a Biodentist. They are thorough, spent a lot of time explaining everything and have the latest technology (3 D). What a great personal office staff and expertise from a wonderful dentist. If I could I would give 10 stars!
