About Tempe Smiles Family Dental

Tempe Smiles Family Dental operates on South McClintock Drive in the South Tempe area of Tempe, Arizona. Implants are considered by many dentists the most durable way to replace a missing tooth, since the titanium post fuses with the jaw bone over several months and then supports a crown that functions much like a natural tooth. Enough healthy bone is the main prerequisite, and a graft can build that up first if needed.

Clear aligners straighten teeth through a series of custom, removable trays, each worn for one to two weeks before moving to the next in the sequence. They suit mild to moderate crowding and spacing well, and are worn roughly twenty to twenty-two hours a day for treatment to stay on schedule.

A veneer is a thin custom shell bonded to the front of a tooth to change its shape, length, or colour, most often used to address chips, gaps, or discoloration that whitening alone cannot fix. Traditional veneers require a small amount of enamel to be removed, which makes the change permanent.

Cosmetic dentistry covers treatment aimed primarily at appearance — whitening, veneers, bonding, and reshaping among the more common options — for patients who are less concerned with a problem that hurts than with how their smile looks day to day. The right combination depends on what specifically you would like to change.

Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth, cleans and seals the space, and allows the natural tooth to be kept rather than extracted. Its reputation for being painful is largely outdated — carried out under local anaesthetic, it typically relieves pain rather than causing it.

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.

I've been going to Tempe Smiles (Elliot and McClintock) for years. The staff is always happy, friendly, and helpful which makes it a pleasant, unstressful experience. Just want to thank them all for taking such good care of my teeth and me! Sincerely, Pam Garrettson

You can tell Dr. Young knows what he’s doing! His staff is on point. You would do very well to give these guys a call for whatever dental needs you have! Thank you Angie for caring about my mouth and my comfort! This is the only dentist I will go to. Kadisha (separate visit) was also AWESOME! These guys know what it means to CARE about your mouth!

We went to Tempe Smiles for years, and had good experiences. But, the last few years they've had rotating door with dentists. Never felt good with the current dentist. He indicated I had 3 cavities and needed a crown on one of them. I let him do the 2 smaller ones and wasn't happy with the end result. We've since changed dentists and the new one said the 3rd tooth did not have a cavity and didn't need a crown.

My first experience has been awesome. I've needed to get back up to date on dental and today was my first appointment for exam's and x-rays. I got checked in by Katrina and waited until I was called back. She was so friendly and welcoming! The xrays and exam went off no issues, and the doctor came in to see me and explain what the next steps were. Very thorough with explaining what everything was, explaining the xrays and exam pictures, as well as what happens next. Katrina checked me out, and then explained when next available openings were to get my teeth deep cleaned and some other work done. Will definitely be going back!

The front office staff at this dental office were courteous and professional, which I genuinely appreciated. However, my interaction with the dentist raised concerns regarding boundaries and conduct. His demeanor was unusually familiar for a first appointment, including personal anecdotes, repeated references to his wife, and multiple instances of physical contact such as rubbing my arm. He also addressed me as “girlfriend,” which I found inappropriate and diminishing in a healthcare setting. I value neutrality and professionalism in medical spaces, and his approach made me question whether I was receiving truly impartial treatment. While I recognize that certain interactions can be well-intentioned, the overall dynamic felt more personal than professional. I hope this feedback encourages greater attention to professionalism so all patients can feel fully respected and secure during their visits.

Multiple co workers have recommended coming here. I haven’t been to the dentist in years and unfortunately came down with an infected and impacted wisdom tooth. They got me in quickly to look over my teeth, set up my wisdom tooth removal surgery just as fast and made me feel so welcome. The staff and office manager are so kind and knowledgeable. Dr Young is very kind and has no issue explaining anything you aren’t sure about as well. I tend to put off important doctor appointments due to bad experiences but I am so happy I chose this place. I recommend you come here if you are ever unsure. This staff and their work is phenomenal!
