He decided to use them again after moving back to Tucson and referred ms to them as well. My first appointment went fine except for a little bit of a scheduling miscommunication. I was told my appointment was at 1:00 pm and to arrive early to do paperwork. I did as told and completed the paperwork at 1:00. I waited for another 10 minutes after 1:00 pm and asked when I would be taken back. To my dismay I was told I had to wait another 30 minutes or so. Uh....really? I explained that they told me my appointment was at 1:00 and they told me that technically it wasn't until 1:30 and that I was supposed to be doing paperwork from 1-1:30. I explained that is not what I was told on the phone and told them multiple times I had a time crunch as I had plans that evening. They said there was nothing they could do as there was already someone getting xrays done and I had to wait. I was pretty upset after that, and the xrays didn't go very well either. However that was mostly due to my own issues having a horrible gag reflex and a small mouth which didn't allow for their xray tools to fit very well. However, they did redeem themselves and they were able to accommodate me in a timely manner. I was able to get out on time and they even gave me a gift card as an apology for the confusion with the scheduling. The cleaning and examination went just fine, and Dr. Ricks was very thorough. I booked my next cleaning with them and hopefully there won't be any issues with scheduling going forward!

My dental condition became so severe that my lower jaw started hurting and the adjacent cheek became very swollen. I was unable to eat or swallow without pain. My husband called several dental offices in the area and his calls were unanswered (these were "dental emergency" phone numbers) until Zoe answered the phone. At first, they were not able to see me, but then she called again and told us they had a cancellation that afternoon (on a Saturday). Dr. Nguyen told me I needed to have the tooth pulled at that time, but my BP was very high. Was told to go back on Monday when my blood pressure stabilized and had the deed done! Dr. Nguyen was very knowledgeable and kind. I was terrified being in a dental chair with my mouth open, hearing the scraping sound of metal against bone. Zoey helped by rubbing my shoulder during the procedure and Dr. Nguyen would stop and inject more pain medication whenever I winced. Opted to have a bone graft for a future dental implant.

Stop Searching. Call Advanced Family Dentistry Today…read more If you have been searching for a dentist, stop. Make an appointment with Advanced Family Dentistry (AFD). A dental appointment should feel like visiting trusted friends after a long week--not something you dread. That has been my experience at AFD. A dentist is one of the most important professionals you will ever have. If you cannot honestly say, "I love my dentist," schedule an initial appointment at AFD and compare the experience for yourself. In my opinion, the culture of any practice starts at the top. If the owner is not a licensed, practicing dentist, or if your dentist does not inspire confidence and put you at ease, keep looking. Payam K. Asadi, DMD creates a calm, relaxed atmosphere while maintaining exceptionally high professional standards. He appears to hire highly qualified employees, genuinely listens to their input, and has built a practice where the staff consistently appear happy, engaged, and proud of where they work. It is an office where patients are treated with warmth and respect. On my first visit, another patient noticed I was new and said, "You'll like it here. Never stop coming, even if you think there's a better dentist. There isn't." It was unsolicited advice from someone with nothing to gain, and after becoming a patient, I understand exactly what he meant. I had a complicated upper front tooth problem that multiple dentists either declined to treat or could not confidently address. Within minutes, Dr. Asadi presented two well-reasoned treatment options. Rather than automatically recommending implants, he explained why implants adjacent to compromised teeth might not be the wisest long-term investment given my age and my goal of maximizing the usefulness of my dental care over the next 35 years. I appreciated that he focused on what was best for me rather than the most expensive procedure. Dental assistant Vicente deserves special recognition. He is the first male dental assistant I have worked with, and I found the experience refreshingly comfortable. The conversation felt natural, professional, and relaxed, making the appointment noticeably less stressful. I appreciate seeing greater diversity within the dental profession and believe patients benefit from having talented professionals of every background. Another aspect I value is that AFD treats patients like responsible adults. The office has always been respectful and professional in its interactions, creating an atmosphere built on mutual trust rather than rigid bureaucracy. If you are looking for a dental practice where you will actually look forward to your appointments, where professionalism is combined with genuine kindness, and where you feel confident your care is the priority, I recommend calling Advanced Family Dentistry at (520) 293-9277. They look forward to welcoming new patients. (28 July 2028).

Natalie, the dental hygienist, also did an excellent job with my cleaning. My concern is with the treatment recommendations I received during my August appointment. During my first examination, some of the dentist's findings were identified to me as cavities, and fillings were recommended. I was also advised that I needed two crowns on my front teeth. Something about the amount of recommended treatment did not feel right to me, so before proceeding, I decided to seek an independent professional second opinion from another dentist in Tucson. I am 73 years old and wear both upper and lower partial dentures. During my first visit, the recommendation for two crowns was discussed with me several times. However, at no point during those discussions do I recall the dentist mentioning that the crowns could potentially create fitting issues with my existing partials. During my second opinion, the dentist explained to me that the proposed crowns could interfere with the available space for my lower partial and potentially affect the fit of my partials. Another issue particularly concerned me after receiving the second opinion. An area that may have appeared to be a cavity was specifically pointed out by the second dentist as worn enamel associated with the clasp of my partial. During my first examination, I do not recall the term "worn enamel" being mentioned or any discussion about wear caused by the partial clasp. I only learned about the worn enamel and its apparent cause when the second dentist examined the area and explained it to me. I was also concerned by how quickly the financial side of the proposed treatment moved. Before I left the first office, a treatment estimate had already been prepared for me without my asking for one, and I declined to sign it. Based on what was explained to me at the time, I understood that my responsibility could have been approximately $1,100 to $2,000, depending upon how much of the proposed crowns and other treatment my insurance would cover. As a new patient, the process felt very fast to me. It had only been approximately six months since my previous dental visit, which was another reason I decided it would be wise to have the recommendations independently evaluated before agreeing to significant dental work. I am very glad I did. According to the second dentist's evaluation, the two crowns were not necessary, and I was advised that some of the proposed fillings were not needed. The treatment I am actually receiving has an overall cost of $586, including the amount covered by insurance. For me, the difference was significant--not only financially, but because the second evaluation also addressed the potential fitting issues involving my existing partials. What continues to concern me is the difference between the two evaluations. The two crowns had been discussed with me several times during my first visit, yet I do not recall any discussion about their potential effect on my partials. Likewise, I do not recall worn enamel or wear associated with the partial clasp being discussed with me. Both of those issues were brought to my attention during the second opinion. For most of my life, I tended to accept a dentist's recommendations without questioning them. This experience changed that for me. My recommendation to others is simple: when significant or expensive dental work is proposed--particularly crowns, extensive fillings, or treatment that could affect existing dental appliances--consider obtaining an independent second opinion before proceeding. As much as I liked and appreciated the staff, because of my overall experience and the concerns I was left with regarding the recommended treatment, I decided to leave this office and continue my dental care with another practice. After considering the amount of dental work originally proposed, how quickly the treatment estimate was presented to me, and what I subsequently learned from an independent second opinion, I was left feeling as though I was being upsold. That is my personal impression of the experience, and ultimately why I felt more comfortable continuing my dental care elsewhere.
