Best dentist in Flag? Best dentist in Arizona! Possibly anywhere…read more She's rightfully earned that title too, that's not just my opinion, she's been awarded Best Dentist in Flag and with good reason. Short & sweet, Stephanie is professional, she is compassionate, kind and most importantly she is HONEST. Highly recommend. Make your appointment, you won't regret it. The longer version: This isn't a review to get gain on my part in any shape or form. No shirt, movie tickets, no $50 discount off my bill. It's simply because she deserves it! I just feel bad it's taken me so long to leave one! In my 31 years she is the most trustworthy dentist I've ever rubbed shoulders with and I've had my fair share of run ins with less than desirable dentists who've recommended all the work just to take advantage of my insurance, and empty my wallet. I've known Stephanie for three years now and have seen her every 6 months. As for curbside appeal, it's a cute brick building in the heart of downtown Flagstaff. And the interior, quaint, sufficient and cozy. BUT the care that you will receive far surpasses the esthetics. We have since moved to the valley and had to be seen by a new dentist who was all those things, new, flashy and fancy-state of the art equipment that they didn't hesitate to brag about. But all of that did NOTHING for me. Because he was dishonest. After a regular cleaning he told me I needed 4 crowns (2 that needed to be done immediately) and that I have a handful of cavities. I was in shock considering I hadn't had a single cavity in the two years I'd been seeing Stephanie. I wasn't about to move forward without a second opinion. I called, set an apt & made the 3 hour trip to see Stephanie, she made her assessment before I gave her his recommendations (per her request) and sure enough all I need is to repair two fillings! "You don't know what you don't know" which is why I always dread having to find a new doctor, because of dentists like that it makes it really difficult to know what to believe and who you can trust. But I LOVE AND TRUST STEPHANIE. I am so grateful for her, her expertise and her practice. All personnel in her office have always treated me respectfully, have been kind and always professional. I'd make a three hour trip to see her anytime! Best dentist in Flag? Best dentist in Arizona!

THE BEST KEPT SECRET IN FLAGSTAFF!! By, DIAN W…read more I have never written a review before but feel compelled to do so. It was Friday of Memorial Day weekend. I took a bite of my bagel, and broke the tooth next to my front tooth right off. I could feel the blood rushing to my face. Oh no! It's a holiday weekend and I live in Scottsdale. I don't have a dentist in Flagstaff. I went through the phone book and started calling dentists. Some offices didn't answer. Some couldn't take me. Then, I got the sweetest gal on the phone at Peak Family Dental. She said, "Try to get here within the hour. After that our Dr. is booked." I raced over tooth-in-hand convinced that all I would need was a re-glue. After a couple of x-rays, I finally met Dr. Bryan Shanahan. He was super friendly and warm and after looking at the x-rays he told me that I had broken my tooth off inside my crown and that there was nothing for him to glue it back on to. He gave me a bunch of options one of which was to have a root canal and a dental implant. It seemed to make the most sense. But, where would I find an Endodontist? I have a whole weekend of activities planned and I was missing a front tooth! Dr. Shanahan explained to me that he could do everything. (I've had dental implants before and I know that these take months to heal and you have to walk around with a temporary in your mouth. Very often they'll give you something called a "flipper" it's a fake tooth that pretty much falls out of your mouth all the time. I was dreading that.). And then Dr. Shanahan explained to me that he teaches down at the dental school in Scottsdale and that he knows this technique where he can actually drill out the crown that fell out of my mouth; create an abutment and use my own crown as my temporary until my mouth heals. I've never heard of anyone being able to do that!! But I was all ears because that meant that I would walk out looking pretty much like I had the day before I broke my tooth. Shockingly, he was able to do all of that work in under 4 hours. (He had to work on me in-between his already scheduled patients.) Before I left, Dr.Shanahan warned me of the possible pain and swelling I might experience over the next few days. While I did have tenderness, I wouldn't call it pain. And I had no facial swelling at all. I couldn't believe how lucky I had been!! To find a Dentist who would take me on a holiday weekend; and who could do absolutely EVERYTHING!! It was such a stroke of luck and believe me...such a relief. I went on with my weekend as planned. I've become a SUPER FAN of Dr. Shanahan. I think you'll feel the same way.

Asked for a pre appointment cost break down I was told that was my job with my insurance??? Explained to her my insurance only pays for one crown a year so, let's get this scheduled now before the end of this year and she just looked at me like I was asking her to do the impossible. Don't treat customer's in this manner. The damage is done and I went back to my original dentist. I hope you don't have to go through this process. God bless them

The general theme of my care there was a significant amount of discomfort and pain. General cleanings consisted of him inquiring of any pain or discomfort, doing a quick exam and exiting to let the hygienists take over. Disclaimer: I don't have perfect dental hygiene but I try to take care of my teeth and like most people forget to floss. In December '15 I had a crown placed by this office due to sensitivity when biting down which he diagnosed as a crack. The procedure was awful and I wasn't given enough time to get numb. The sensitivity never really did go away and I switched to a new dentist in March '16. In July 2016, I woke up to 10/10 pain in the tooth. I spent the week in a narcotic coma and taking lots of antibiotics and steroids. I work in healthcare on nights and I cannot miss work, as there is simply no one to cover for nights if you get sick. I had to call out 1 shift due to all this, thankfully a coworker covered for me or I would have had to go to work with all that pain. A second set of x-rays showed a large area of infection around and in the tooth. It needed a root canal and when the old crown came off, half the tooth had rotted away and the cavity was a hair away from the tooth pulp. It was pretty gruesome looking. Apparently this all could have been avoided by properly diagnosing the problem in the first place. There was never a crack. Dr. Darlington's front office staff was very nice and I will be getting a refund for the co-pay for the first crown. I hate to make disparaging comments against anyone, but I feel my experience was poor enough that I should caution anyone with sensitive or problem ridden teeth. Sorry Dr. D. I found the work and bedside manner to be slapdash. Not good when dental care is already a dread for most people.

For the past 6 days, I have been dealing with one of the worst pain episodes in my life. One of my upper left tooth started to give me immense trouble while I was flying to Austin (I did go to an ER in Austin for a temporary solution) and being that it was Memorial Day weekend (translates to FML), I had to wait 5 days pumped full of pain meds and antibiotics before I finally got a diagnosis and some treatment. I did manage to go to another dentist in town, but that wasn't very helpful. I actually then called Dr. Crane's office and they suggested I visited Dr. Leiendecker's office. I called her office yesterday morning and they were able to get me in today. The office sent me an email to fill out forms beforehand (easy process) and today when I came for the appointment, I just had to sign a few forms. Dr. Leiendecker (and her assistant) were great with me! She explained everything to me and told me also that she didn't think a root canal was actually necessary and wanted to make sure I was doing the best thing for my teeth and also didn't want me to spend so much money. Wow, I was really so shocked how caring she was with me. Its been a long time since I met a doctor like her. I highly recommend her if you need an endodontist. I wish I could make her my general dentist because she gives such good care. I'm so grateful that she helped me today, made the pain go away and made sure my tooth would be ok. Thanks so much Dr. L for everything.
