2 bad experiences I thought I would give them the benefit of the doubt but I actually really hated it. I felt like they wanted my money but the work I had done was shoddy. If you want the experience of a used car dealership with the feeling of just being a number like at the DMV. Try it you may like it. Not for me especially since there is a dentist practically on every corner I don't have to settle. read more

I've only been here once but my husband has been going for a while and I plan to obviously continue. I'm a complete wimp at the dentist and they were pretty great. The staff is friendly and relaxed, which helps. They have been very honest and the fancy office and TV's are just the icing on top. I would recommend any of my family or friends here!! read more

WOW, all they want is $$$$$$$. I sure don't mind to pay for what I need but trying to squeeze more money from our insurance AND extra from patient? Not cool! Their rates are much more than most places and their dental chair office is like an assembly line. Horrible experiences and when issues were brought up, they talk down on you or act like it was a "mistype" error. I would not recommend this place if it was the last dental office on earth. Expensive, overpriced, low quality of work and sanitary. read more

Was looking for a new dentist in town and came here because they accepted my insurance. I ended up finding a great place! The staff from the minute you enter to the minute you leave were all very nice. Dr. Kode was knowledgeable and pleasant as well! Love my new dental place! read more

I have extreme anxiety when it comes to the dentist. I had a really bad experience with my childhood dentist. This made it so when I was an adult I didn't go as often and I should have. I moved to Ahwatukee 9 years ago and a friend recommended this office to me. I've been going regulalry for routine cleaning since. I went last month for a cleaning and found out I needed a crown. Sensing my anxiety he assured me I would be fine. I scheduled my appt. for today. I went in so nervous I wanted to leave. He came in, explaining everything he would be doing. He put me at ease and I've never felt better. I would highly recommend Dr. Kode to anyone looking for a dentist. He's restored my faith in dentists. I will go back in a few weeks for the permanent crown and I'm not a bit nervous about it. Thank you so much for your patience with me and the absolute best experience I've had from a dentist. read more

Our family has been going to Dr.Kode even before he formed Dental by Design, over 10 years now. He's been there for us through all our family dental "fun"; from the headgear and braces to the wisdom teeth and deep tissue cleaning. He's done it all. His staff from the front desk (shout out to Sandy) to the everyone behind the scenes like his best hygienist, MaryAnn take care of our family like we're one of their own. Face it, no one likes going to the dentist. But Dental by Design has made the experience a pleasant one. It's also very apparent that they appreciate their patients, as they are always holding events and contests to thank them. Thank you, Dr,Kode and Dental by Design for making my teeth and my family's teeth shine :) read more

Dr. Kode and his staff are the definition of professionalism and service. I had the pleasure of interacting with Daisy during my appointment and was pleased with her positive attitude and commitment to my comfort. Belinda is the quarterback at the front desk who was throwing touchdowns with scheduling and accomodating my missing insurance card. I forget my hygenist's name but she made me feel like a Bob Ross painitng as she cleaned my teeth, it was wonderful. So soothing and calm. My family and I have been seeing Dr. Kode for around 10 years and I've already scheduled my dentures appointment in 2057 (not really but he is really good, read about his accolades on his website, they're very impressive)! read more

My son went to this dental clinic for deep cleaning and crown replacement, they gave us an estimate, which looked reasonable. As my dental insurance was aetna and had lot of coverage for many procedures, I thought that my son will have a good job. However when his dental work wa finished, I was asked to give them additional money to what was given in the estimate, over hundred dollars. When I asked the reason they said that some extra procedure was involved. They never got approval from us and just jacked up their bill.The funny thing I saw was there were few patients and more than 7 assistance, few in the front office and others were looking busy doing nothing. Above all there was a manager who never showed up to talk with me about my concern. Just be careful when visiting this office, this is another crook dental clinic infested with sharks who are after your money and the place do not have any dental practitioner ethics in place. read more

I have been going here for 5 years now. The staff is always so friendly and there is always a cold water for you to help yourself to. The confirmation process is so convenient because it is texted and emailed to me. Dr. Kode is a licensed Invisalign dentist so I did Invisalign. He did a wonderful job. I have so much more self confidence now. He even threw in an ipad and free teeth whitening. They always do a great job! read more

I am a dental coward!! I have always been afraid of going to the dentist! So when Dental by Design was a suggested place I go for the health of my mouth, I went trusting the word of the person referring me. In addition to my fear, I developed a "lock jaw" in the last few years which is such painful experience! Especially, when you have to go to the dentist and try to keep your mouth open the whole time. Dental by Design has honestly catered to me because of my fear and "locked jaw" syndrome! They ensure your experience is a comfortable one and take care of you! Because of their wonderful customer service, I will be going into my second year of being a Dental by Design patron! I highly recommend Dental by Design in Ahwatukee to ANYONE needing any kind of dental work!! read more

Dr. Curry has been my dentist for almost 12 years now. She's the definition of awesomeness. AND everyone there always has a smile! Thanks so much read more

I have been seeing Dr Kode since he took over the practice. Have never met a more knowledgeable professional with such great bedside or chair-side manner. He is also a great community member. read more

Thereza Wright is the best hygienist ive had the pleasure of working with. She is along with the rest of the staff is awesome, understanding, patient and friendly. They have superior service and down to earth vibes in the office putting you at ease when you are sitting in the chair. Going to the dentist has never been easier when you go to these guys and get handled by the team that works there. read more

I went to DbD a month or so ago and got a lot of work done. Almost $3K worth of replacement fillings and cleaning. That part went fine. I figured with that kind of money being spent, the work would pretty much be good for a long while. Boy was I wrong. Since the two initial visits to get the work done, I've had to go back twice for the new fillings to be repaired and replaced. And now there is more pain both in the same spot and in the other spots he "fixed". During my last visit, he couldn't figure out where to stick the needle for the numbing shot and the entire side of my head ending up numb. And the "hygienist" that was assisting, shoved the suction tube down my throat. If I could give less than one star, I would. At this point, I believe it would be better to just go to a new dentist and pay him/her to fix DbD inabilities. read more

Why I'm sure this is a great dentist practice by all accounts and I would not want to discourage anyone from going here. I will just share my personal experience. To my unknowing when I arrived for my appointment on 8/26/19 I was told that I could not use my insurance there. Keep in mind I was told this halfway through my X-rays. So as a courtesy Dental by Design said they would complete the X-rays, call and schedule an appointment with the correct dentist office, and send my X-rays to Gentle Dental. Today I was told in order to get the X-rays sent I would have to pay $99 which was a discount from the regular $140 cost. I provided my insurance information "Before" I went in to do my X-rays. Had I been told prior that there would have been a cost, I would not have done any would at their office. So now I will have to take my X-rays all over again when I go to Gentle Dental. This is not good business practice. Make sure when you go here to have a full understanding of what your insurance will or will not cover before you sit in the chair to have work done. read more

Great experience with the hygenists and pediatric dentist! Clean office, good with kids and timely. The dentist was great. We didnt get the feeling of being "upsold" like other practices. The staff was friendly enough. We will definitely be back! read more

This is the by far the best Dentist I have ever gone to. The entire Dental by Design staff are amazing. I would not go anywhere else.

I live 24 miles away but still come back for Dr. Kode and his lovely assistants. This place does it all. Friendly, latest technology, all levels of service and has great office systems/processes in place. They even will provide you a rating of your teeth from 1 to 100, but you have to ask for it. Keep up the good work Dental by Design. read more

I had a great experience at Dental by Design. I needed a lot of dental work done and in the past other dentist were rude to me because my teeth were in bad shape. Dr Kode did a great job and I feel less anxious about my next visit to the dentist. I also had a great experience with everyone else on the staff including the Dental Hygenist. read more

If it weren't for Dr. Kode and his phenomenal staff, I wouldn't go to the dentist. It is impossible to express just how great this dentist is. I would give this dental office 10 stars out of 5 if I could. Dr. Kode was able to fix what 4 other dentists tried to do and couldn't. I had a tricky, large filling in the very back molar that others kept drilling and filling. Dr. Kode came up with a better fix that absolutely worked. By the time I found Dr. Kode and his wonderful staff, I had such bad anxiety about going to the dentist, I would make appointments and cancel them. They help me get over this and never once made me feel bad about my fears. In fact, I leave this office smiling every time. Not only is Dr. Kode technically precise, and absolutely knowledgeable of his craft and current available options, he also has the patience of a saint. He is incredibly talented and I almost hate to pass along my praise, because I don't want to share! haha Also, having very sensitive teeth, cleanings have always been an issue. But the dental hygenists (thank you Theresa, tell Dr. Kode he still needs to give you a raise), are amazing and incredibly patient. They think outside the box to try to make you as comfortable as possible and create a good experience. Thank you Dr. Kode and Dental by Design staff. I don't know what I would have done without you guys!! Chris Burns read more

Think twice before waisting your time with this dentist. All they are interested in is how much money they can get from you and your insurance company. Highest prices in the valley! If your looking for a skilled dentist with compassion, look elsewhere. read more

Dr. Kode was great! I had a filling done. Talk about painless dentistry! His assistants were wonderful. Didn't feel anything. Also the hygienist was good too. She was very helpful in instructing me in how to take care of my teeth. I also had great care from all the office personnel. I would recommend this office to anyone. Thanks for great all around service! read more

My husband and I went to this dentist as a recommendation from my sister-in-law. My husband and I went as we were not happy with our current dentsit. What a blessing! We both went and they worked on both of us and did our work that we needed that day! My husband needed a veneer/crown with no scheduling down the road because of finances. I had priced the crown and the out of pocket cost and this office was 1/2 of what I was quoted from many different offices in the area. We have great dental insurance which has never been an issue but they were concerned about us and not $$$$$. I appreciate that. Everyone in the office was super nice. I went into the office the next day to get 3 fillings and everyone came by to ask how my husband was and how he liked his work. I don't know about anyone else but I will pay extra for great customer service. Here you get the most caring staff and you can understand why when you meet the dentist, Dentist Kobe. He is great at his craft and he sincerely cares about you. God has blessed him and us by introducing us. I highly recommend this dental office to anyone looking for a dentist in the Phoenix area. read more

Dr. Kode has been my dentist for about 6 years. As well as receiving my dental check ups and care from him, I also did the Invisalign program with him with great success. His staff is very personable, his office is clean and appointments are always handled professionally. Dr Kode is very knowledgable, personable, kind and gentle with all of his treatments. I have recommended him and his staff to several friends and would recommend them to anyone looking for dentist in the Ahwatukee area. read more

Just like most people, I dislike going to the dentist, but I've been going to Dental by Design for over a year and recently got a crown done. It was fair in price and things went very well through the entire experience. The staff is very friendly and professional and they get you in and out at your set appointment time. read more

I am not giving them one star based on their work but I up front told them that I had 2000 left on my insurance and 3 days to use it but I was limited on money in the future and wanted to be sure that after the 3 days that I was all paid up. I would pay daily for what the insurance didn't cover. They called the insurance everyday and told me what it would cost for the work that day which I paid in full everyday. The final day I paid them and made sure I owed them nothing and they said I'm all paid up. Then months later they claim I owe them over $300 and after talking to the insurance company they claimed the dentist got a quote on one thing but charged them for something different. Well how is that my fault they knew i was not going to be able to pay a bill later yet they screwed up and charged me for it and now they are giving me bad credit over something that I had no control over. Now had the lady at the desk who called my insurance know what to ask the insurance company I would have gladly paid what I needed to that day. You do not dock the customers for your screw ups and that is not how a business keeps customers. I would recommend looking else where unless you too want to be billed for their incompetence. There are plenty of dentists that will not try to pull the wool over your eyes. Tell you one thing but mean another. read more

I love this dentist & I hate going to the dentist! Dr Curry is awesome and so are all the staff members. Everyone is so friendly & all the office equipment is brand new. Wish they had posters on the ceiling, though! read more

I have been going to Dr. Kode and and the staff at Dental by Design for years. They consistently demonstrate caring and competence and they go out of their way to work with your schedule. I have recommended them to others and I have never thought of going anywhere else. read more

I had called for a consult for my wisdom tooth coming in, with no insurance and ni cash on hand I figured i'd have to suffer through the pain. they fit me in next day and extracted later that week. it was fast and efficient. they were able and willing to take time to figure out payment plans that I could afford. the staff is very friendly and the owner is always on site helping staff and patients instead of being locked up in a big office. I recomend Dental by Design to ANYONE. oh, and very clean too. :) read more

Dr Kode , Dr Fox are highly experienced , knowledgeable and there assistants too , I liked there treatment and their hospitality is Awesome!

Recently called Dental By Design because I was recommended by two different people to go and check them out. I called twice and was told they would call me back to schedule my appointment, no call back. Horrible service. read more
