The most stress-free dental experience I've had in years, thanks to a wonderfully talented doctor,…read morecaring staff, and beautiful setting. Having had extensive procedures in several other parts of the country (including several crowns and an implant that were well done by my previous provider, in San Diego), I was unsure I'd find an office in Tucson that could match the level of expertise I've had elsewhere. Dr. Mitchell made that simple -- he not only has excellent depth in general and aesthetic dentistry but is also just an incredibly nice person. I'm someone who experiences major anxiety in the chair, and I've found Dr. Mitchell's easygoing demeanor a huge relief. I also appreciate that the hygienist is extremely respectful and patient-focused. For instance, I'd had my last bitewings eleven months before, and before my arrival, she had noticed that and double-checked with my insurance to ensure I was eligible, but more important, she also asked me if I would prefer to have them a little early or wait until my next visit. It's completely refreshing to have the staff ask what the patient wants, instead of trying to push services or products. Another major advantage is the office itself -- located on Grant Road (north lane, next door to Black Rock Coffee, just across the street from the Mercedes Benz dealer and slightly west of the post office), the building has ample covered parking, and the interior capitalizes perfectly on stunning views of the Catalinas, with several exam chairs facing straight out to the gorgeous scenery...just another way to feel relaxed and happy in a place dedicated to making you flash your best smile!

Dr. Martin is terrific and everyone is friendly here. They even adjusted the crown I had done at Aspen because my bite was off and it hurt, and that was awesome! I won't ever go anywhere else again because they really take great care of you, and make sure to schedule you for cleanings and give you appointment reminder cards regularly, which is something Aspen Dental was pretty lazy with. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great dental practice in the Tucson area, you won't be disappointed.

I want to give them 5/5 because they are professional, clean, kind. I also wanted to give them a…read more2/5 because 1) even though all of the assistants were kind, their job as the suction and water application is very important and can actually make or break an experience and I didn't enjoy being gagged, poked unnecessarily, and having to swallow the dirty dental water with chemical/tooth fragments in it and 2) my care plan changed mid second appointment under nitrus so they had to oxygenate me for my signature and then give me nitrus again to complete the work and the additional tooth. 3) I was never actually shown my xrays while they discussed the care plan and I think some attention to detail might have avoided the reason I am ultimately unhappy. My first visit I was told we would be working on 4 teeth and watching one, and we would be separating those into two visits. They did the bottom teeth on the first visit, where I expressed concern about my top retainer not fitting me when they do the work at the next visit. They told me not to worry and that it would be fine, just to bring the retainer so we could make sure it fit correctly. They also said they can do retainers and said they could straighten my bottom teeth for me (I have a permanent retainer there but they are only slightly crooked and I wasn't asking about that). I was in the chair probably 3.5 hours for both visits. When I showed up for the second visit - I reminded him about my retainer and that I brought it in, he said okay, no worries we will try that at the end to make sure it fits correctly and that they could make it fit if it didn't. They got me started on nitrus and were tinkering in there for a while and then he said alright so we actually need to do this other tooth that we were only watching but you can come back for that and now we're gonna be watching this other (random) tooth too. Unfortunately, this made me a bit skeptical because I don't understand with the x-rays and the full inspection that took HOURS the first time, why we wouldn't be aware of this. This conversation all took place while I was already on nitrus and they'd been working in my mouth a while. They said we have to bring you off the nitrus to get your signature to do the other tooth if that's what you want to do. I said fine, I wasn't really wanting to come back so soon, do it. I wasn't wanting to do a third appointment after they said I'd be doing two and not have to come back a while. The cost of that would obviously go up to pay for a repeat of the nitrus and whatever else. They had me sign the paper and put me back on nitrus. Then when it was finished he asked how my teeth felt, I said good I think (they had to give me more of the numbing agent because I was feeling again and so I couldn't feel much of anything until the very next day around noon, almost a whole day later) but that I just wanted to make sure my retainer fit because it cost me a lot to get them this way. He said ok grab it and we'll try it on but followed up with there's no guarantee it's going to fit. WHAAT... no. That was literally the opposite of what had been said. I was told to bring it, so that we could ensure it fit. So yeah, I wanted to love this office and ive been telling everyone to go and that they're awesome but upon writing the review I think the niceness and cleanliness gave them more credit than maybe they deserved. That said, I'd have been more upset if they'd made me come back later but I also think they are inconsistent with what my needs are and left me feeling like it was a used car salesmen type business. Everything with my teeth feels healthy and good. But my retainer doesn't fit how it should and I didn't like the change of tone from it will fit to it might not and that's just the way it is, but we can make you another one and fix your teeth again.. $$ and also adding more teeth in to work on that weren't mentioned at the original care plan. Including a new tooth to "watch" when the one they said they were watching was one they wanted to fix after all. This was not a terrible experience, just could have been better. For improvement, I recommend more training for the assistants, and more consistency in the care plan for the doctor I saw. This office was beautifully maintained, clean and comfortable.

I came to Dentists of Tanque Verde after a very discouraging experience elsewhere where I was…read morerecommended unnecessary dental work, and I cannot express how grateful I am that I found this office. From the moment I walked in, the staff was kind, professional, and unbelievably transparent about my dental care. They reviewed my previous X-rays, walked me through every finding, and clearly explained what actually needed to be done was a lot less than the previous dentist recommended. Instead of the long list of crowns and deep cleanings I was told I needed at another office, they confirmed I only had two small cavities and normal gum health. No pressure, no upselling, no scare tactics -- just honest dentistry. What I really appreciated was how efficiently they handled everything. They completed all my needed work in only two quick visits, and the quality of care was excellent. They respected my time, my insurance, and most importantly, my trust. If you want a dental office that is ethical, thorough, and genuinely focused on patient care, go to Dentists of Tanque Verde. They restored my confidence in dentistry and I'm so thankful for them. They have good people instincts, excellent business instincts, and focused on long-term clients and care versus short term con artist tactics. In total, by coming here, I saved thousands of dollars. I will be coming here again and again, reminds me of the very best dentist I had as a kid.

I was supposed to have a co-pay and when i got there it almost doubled from what I 'thought' it would be. The woman at the desk finally got on the phone with the insurance at my insistence, or I imagine I would have had to overpay. I arrived at 8 am for an 8 am appt, and was not seen till close to 8:30, despite being the first one in the door. Advice, bring a book, water bottle and expect to play detective with the billing. If the dentist wasn't really nice I'd for sure go elsewhere.
