Outstanding find. I had a problem unknown issue with a back tooth. They were able to squeeze me in. From the front staff to the back group including a big shout out to the dental hygentist (shana?), elite. they found it was a cracked tooth and then reached out and got me an appointment the same day to Prosmiles (highly recommend too) for a tooth extraction. Pricing was good, especially in North Scottsdale. Latest equipment btw and the dentist, I thought she ruled. Look forward (who says that about going to the dentist) to getting my full oral care thing cleaning and gum treatment. read more

Very thorough and caring staff--- they address the root cause of the issue vs. surface level. This isn't a basic dental office; it's Top Tier [you can tell as soon as you walk in- it's pristine and white [as will your teeth be upon leaving=]. Kind thanks to Erin [the dental hygienist] for always going above and beyond- I appreciate both your time and diligence!! =] read more

As Yelp or any other source of reviews goes, it should be used as an avenue to improve a local business and/or give praise to help support local businesses, even if it comes across to the business as 'negative'. When the business owner responds back with a 'comment' or private message to the reviewer, in a seemingly defensive or reactive manner-that was Dr. Heday's first comment on my initial review and this is my follow up to that, to add my balanced perspective. Dr. Heday, has since taken it down and responded less reactive, but rather lengthy. A review by a Yelp Elite isn't one that is constant on negatives. The reviewer would not be an Elite if that were the case. With that, it's always a bit surprising to get reactive feedback from a relatively new business owner on a review that they deemed negative rather than useful to their business. First, I didn't go out of my way in my search for a new dentist after having been with our previous dentist for so long, bring my family to Dynamite Smiles and then look for all of the negatives.Our previous dentist retired or we would still make the drive to Chandler to see him. I/my family, wanted a family dentist that we felt at home with; one that is trustworthy; that felt our time is/was as important as their own, and most importantly, would give us good, solid, care for our teeth and gums that was consistent. When THAT did not happen on my visit-or my husbands or my daughters, it became apparent, this wasn't the place for us. There were a lot of reasons of her ' why' to my 'several inaccuracies', (those are not my words, those are the business owner's comments on my review), and rather than again, being accountable or humble to her client(s), this came across as accusatory, she did not point those inaccuracies as far as I can tell , btw. I feel this second comment posted to my review is more for the optics and not for me. Her first comment does nothing but point out her 'sleep apnea training'. I believe that Dr. Heday is nice; so is her staff, but that is not enough.I don't seek a dentist out for just for kindness or convenience, or how pretty their office is, in this case, I was hopeful for all of the above, and it was not a win. We had a long standing relationship with our previous dentist for a reason. One that was built upon a first impression of trust and as anything, that first impression built a foundation that carried. Our previous dentist set the bar very high with his decade & a half plus care for my family and I mentioned that in my initial review. He never would have commented in any sort of way to a review, rather he would have been appalled at any negativity and would have done anything to rectify it. His staff was not always 100 percent, because in the time we were there, there was definitely attrition and with that comes a learning curve at times, but that is to be expected & accountability is key, rather than taking the approach that the customer is in the wrong. It does not seem that far fetched for a client , a new client, mind you, to expect punctuality from a dentist or it's staff for appointments: things happen, maybe call your client and let them know you are running late, so they aren't inconvenienced; be honest; and have integrity and maybe admit you're wrong or apologize to your patient(s). In this case, the 'wrongs' by Dr. Heday's office out weighed the 'rights'. Being open for lunch time appointments may not be Dr. Heday's thing; but it was at our previous dentist's office & also seems to be at our new dental office, as well. It also goes without saying that Mayo Clinic takes appointments all hours of the day. Generalizing what other practices do is at lunch in stating , 'most practices close during the lunch hour', is an inaccuracy, in my opinion from someone that has lived in the valley for a moment. With that, I just didn't feel comfortable in her care and didn't even see her on my second exam which was another disappointing factor pointed out in my review. Again, these are a few key points. I have already written a lengthy review and she commented in a bullet point book form to my review, which has to be a first for me as a 16 year Yelp Elite. Dynamite Smiles has now lost a patient due to the fact that the dentist made a terrible first and second impression; it was furthered by not one comment on my initial review rather than a true follow up but deleted and revisited by the doctor herself not only on what I wrote about but about my dental history. Again, I wanted nothing more than to have a dentist, that I felt welcome at and that I felt was a great fit for my family. It takes a lot of time to find quality care in terms of medical and dental care and we truly missed the mark on this one. I get that negative reviews must feel awful; but they can also be a place to learn and grow. Quality over quantity in service and that goes for a review too :-) read more

Dynamite Smiles Dentistry - The comment from the business owner to my review that was deleted before the 2nd was added - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Wow!! Okay, usually Dentist visits aren't my Jam...but, today I actually had a good time!! Say what?? Yes my friends, you too can have an enjoyable experience at Dynamite Smiles Dental!! My first experience was Mayrah on the phone- who was helpful, cheerful and very welcoming over the phone. Once there, Hayley assisted with X-rays and was such a pleasure to chat with! Jessica did my in-depth cleaning with gentleness and through out was empathetic to my being anxious, and my vertigo sensitivities. Dr. Heday herself is fantastic!! So easy to talk to about my fear of the dentist, my needs in dental care and she provided easy to understand game plan of care to get things done! Her staff also provided a cost sheet of services along with information for a membership plan that gives you some services free and discounts with your membership. While working on me in the chair Dr Heday was always checking my status, informing on what she was doing and what I would be feeling- and to signal her if she needed to stop at any time! I was given noise canceling headphones and away we went!! It was a stellar experience for a person that in the past has had panic attacks in a dentist office- so, it's HUGE to walk out of an office feeling like I can continue on with my day and my teeth are getting fantastic care!! Thank you and KUDOS!!! read more

Being new to the area I was searching for a dentist close by. I was pleasantly surprised when I found one! OMG! This practice is the BEST! The dental hygienist was thorough and brought me up speed with the condition of my teeth. Dr. Heday was wonderful!!!! Not having insurance, I opted for their in-house plan. By far this is the best dental practice I have ever had! read more

Love the staff & Dr Saba Heday! They are so caring and great at what they do! My husband is not a fan of the dentist, however, he loves it here. Glad we made the switch. It is close to Trilogy on Alma & Dynamite. read more

I've been traveling back and forth from California to Arizona to receive treatment from Dr. Heday, and it's been absolutely worth it. I trust her work completely. She is incredibly knowledgeable and takes the time to educate me during every visit, ensuring I fully understand the treatments. Dr. Heday is highly skilled and uses top-notch technology in her office, which gives me even more confidence in her care. Her staff is warm and welcoming, making me feel comfortable every time I visit. What truly amazes me is her dedication--she follows up with me after complicated treatments to ensure everything is going smoothly. I've had various dental procedures done by Dr. Heday, and I'm beyond satisfied with her work. read more

I had been searching for the perfect dentist for quite some time, but every dental practice I visited just didn't feel quite right. I was finally referred to Dynamite Smiles Dentistry. From the moment I stepped through their doors, I was genuinely impressed. The atmosphere immediately put me at ease, well-lit walls, a cozy seating area, complimentary drinks, and soothing music playing in the background. It created such a warm and inviting ambiance that I felt right at home. As soon as I entered, I was warmly greeted by the friendly staff, and the wait time was surprisingly minimal. I initially came in with the intention of getting a veneer. Dr. Heday provided a detailed, thorough explanation of the entire veneer process, walking me through the pros and cons with clarity. I asked several questions, and she was incredibly patient and addressed each one thoughtfully. The veneer process took a few sessions to complete, but I was amazed at how smooth everything went. The entire experience was nearly painless. When I finally saw the results, I was thrilled as the veneer perfectly matched the natural color of my teeth and looked so natural that I can not even distinguish it from my own teeth. Now, I smile with so much more confidence than I ever did before. I used to hide my teeth whenever I smiled, but now I can't stop showing them off! :) I get compliments almost daily from friends and family, all wanting to know where I had my dental work done. I 100% recommend Dr. Heday to anyone looking for a genuine, skilled, and compassionate dentist. Her superior expertise and dedication to her patients truly set her apart. If you're in search of a honest dentist who will genuinely care about your dental health and satisfaction, I highly recommend Dr. Heday. read more

Keep up the good work Dymamite Smiles Dentistry. read more

As a now former patient of Dr. Saba Debay, I should begin by mentioning that I was formerly for many years Professor of Surgery at the University of California San Francisco, where Dr. Hebay reportedly completed at least portions of her dental education and training. Based upon my personal experience while under her care, the standards and quality of care that I received from her were not at all in keeping with the esteemed reputation of that institution. Among my final treatmens that were provided to me by her during December of 2024 was the placement of a permanent crown. The obtaining of the critical impression for that procedure was performed not by Dr. Hebay, but rather by an office staff member whose expertise I judged to be woefully inadequate and whose lack of expertise was apparent. My past experiences with such crowns had been that the dentist himself or herself was personally involved in obtaining the impressions. The resulting temporary crown was immediately problematic after it had been placed, and it necessitated my return to Dr. Heby's dental office within an hour thereafter because of food entrapments that proved to be extremely symptomatic. The temporary crown was removed, but there was no attempt to repeat the obtaining of another impression. Rather, the temporary crown and later a prominent crown were subsequently placed, at which time I had been asked to sign a waiver indicating my acceptance of the permanent crown and any resulting issues or complications that might result. Never before had I ever been asked to sign such a waiver by any of my previous dentists, and further neither had I ever asked any of my own patients who were undergoing surgical procedures under my care to sign such a waiver during almost 40 years of practice. Needless to say, I found that request to be distinctly unusual -- especially taking into account my compromised circumstances at the time, that is to say while sitting in a dental chair and awaiting completion of the treatment. No mention of such a waiver had ever been mentioned to me or alluded to earlier. Since then, the so-called permanent crown has been both extremely bothersome and symptomatic, even more frequently that on a daily basis. I have sought and obtained the opinion of a alternative dentist, who raised his eyebrows and was hesitant to comment about the extremely poor result that Dr. Heba had achieved. I am fully expecting that the so-called permanent crown will in the future need to be removed, if technical feasible, and the tooth restored by placement of a new and proper prepared permanent crown or else a dental implant. Doing so will obviously be both costly and associated with additional significant morbidity, and such costs might not even be covered by my (the same) dental insurance policy. I would pleased to share any and all other details of my abysmal experience with anyone who might be interested. I am not permitted to leave my contact information on this site, but can nevertheless be relatively easily located and contacted via the internet. I would be remiss if I did not conclude that Dr. Hebay, instead of solving her and my resulting problem, decided to unilaterally terminate her relationship with me as a patient -- the first and only time that I have been fired for any reason during my entire life. How unprofessional did that prove to be? Nicholas J. Feduska, MD read more

Absolutely amazing experience! My daughter broke her teeth and was in pain. The doctor stayed to see her on a Friday! The team is friendly and very kind. The service is affordabl, and the dentist has an incredible bedside manner. Best dental practice I have been to in years. read more

Having utilized roughly 9 dentists throughout my life, I am so happy to finally end up at the Dynamite Smiles office with Dr. Heday.

Her staff follow her lead and are always willing and able to help with any questions or issues that might arise. I highly recommend her practice to anyone looking for the best dental care available in the Phoenix metro area. read more

The main Dentist Dr. Heday seemed very fake and more money motivated then anything else, she continuously tried to get me to go with the more expensive treatment on every turn of dealing with her. Would not recommend seemed very scammish read more

As a winter visitor to Scottsdale I don't have a regular dentist in the valley. Over President's Day weekend I had a painful abscess infection that had progressed to include a severe fever. Based on a rave recommendation from a friend I called Dr. Heday's office on Sunday and given the emergency nature they called me back and set me up for an early appointment on Monday. My problem was diagnosed quickly with the latest 3D technology and I was set up for a same day root canal with all the follow up appointments for tooth restoration scheduled and interaction with my out of state dental insurance coordinated. Everyone I encountered from Dr. Heday to the front office to 3 different dental assistants during my visits were bright, friendly, empathetic, accommodating, efficient and caring. I give Dr. Heday a lot of credit for establishing such a great practice with a wonderful team. I couldn't ask for better treatment. read more
