We moved to Scottsdale about six or seven years ago. My wife did a ton of research before picking a…read moredentist and she chose S&L with Dr. David Ngo. I went with a different place at first because it was closer to where we were living. Well, that turned out to be a mistake. I ended up having a bad experience there and finally switched to S&L. Dr. Ngo and his team fixed everything the other dentist had messed up. Right away I knew my wife had been right all along. I've been going to S&L for four years now and they really are the best dental office I've ever been to. Dr. Ngo has removed all my old metal fillings and replaced them with modern ones, plus he's done a couple of crowns for me. Everything looks and feels great. My wife has also been extremely happy with all the work he's done for her too. I'm almost 55 and I've seen a bunch of top-rated, highly recommended dentists over the years, both here in the US and a couple in Mexico. Nothing else comes close. One thing I have to mention is how good Dr. Ngo is with people who hate dental visits or get nervous about pain. His work is excellent, but it's the way he takes care of you that makes the biggest difference. For example, the way he does Novocaine shots is unbelievable. You barely feel it at all. Every dentist out there should learn his technique. With all that said, I do think the front office experience could be better. If the customer service up front matched Dr. David's clearly caring vibe, it would be 100% perfect. If you're looking for a truly professional dentist who gives five-star care and service, this is the place. Dr. David Ngo at S&L is the only one I would recommend without any hesitation.

I've been seeing Dr. Ngo since 2018. On my first visit he spent extensive time examining my teeth…read moreand mouth and explaining everything thoroughly. He is knowledgeable and professional and always takes time to check in, even during routine cleanings. I usually don't wait more than 5 minutes for my appointments. There have been times where I needed immediate dental care and they are able to work with you to fit you in as quickly as possible. I have recommended him to many people throughout the last 8 years! At a previous dental office in Miami I had a terrible experience that started with a routine cleaning that turned into a root canal 6 hours later and left me with significant anxiety with all things dental related. I found out a few years later after moving to Arizona that the root canal was not performed correctly and I had to get it re-done. Dr. Ngo is incredible at calming nerves and making you feel safe when in uncomfortable situations, especially with anxiety. He talks through every step in advance and during the procedures, so that there are no surprises. He takes extra time when numbing the mouth so that the pain is tolerable and at times barely noticeable. I really appreciate this and feel like it's rare to find. I highly recommend Dr. Ngo and S&L Dental for all your dental needs.

I went to Arcadia Dental Arts for the first time and was really impressed with how thorough my…read morefirst appointment was. It was literally the most thorough dental exam I've ever had, with digital X-rays (including the panos that my last dentist didn't do), CT scans if needed, lots of photos, a tooth-by-tooth evaluation, oral cancer screening, even looking at mobility, jaw movement, etc. (Finally my knowledge of the sternocleidomastoid muscle comes in handy.) Dr. Pappas even pointed out something I'd brought up to a different dentist years ago and had completely forgotten about. He's also very transparent about whether a treatment can wait or needs to be done right away. The hygienist I had was also very thorough, so I definitely felt like I was in good hands all around. I switched here after a decade at a different dental clinic that had been cutting a lot of corners. As someone without specialized knowledge, navigating dental care can be frustrating and time-consuming. I find it so frustrating--as someone with no real knowledge of dentistry--when I feel like I to have to spend time attempting to research what dentists or other doctors should be doing so I can make sure they actually do it, or to figure out what to do about pain or issues they dismiss or tell me to ignore. We all have enough things to worry about without trying to become amateur dental or medical researchers. So it's a breath of fresh air to go somewhere like Arcadia Dental Arts where I can just kick back and relax knowing they're covering all the bases. Also the office is really nice, and it's right near Lola Coffee. And they have a super cute new patient gift bag, which was a nice touch! Glad to have found a new dental home.

Absolutely the Worst Dental Experience of My Life - Avoid Dr. Zarger…read more As someone who genuinely loves going to the dentist -- especially for cleanings -- I never imagined I'd leave an appointment this disappointed, angry, and frankly, shocked. I brought my children with me to show them that the dentist isn't scary. Big mistake. Dr. Zarger single-handedly undid years of building trust in one visit. First, during the cleaning, he burned my lip multiple times -- not once, but repeatedly. He looked visibly unkempt, rushed, and careless. He scraped my lateral composites that were done for cosmetic reasons (and not meant to be touched like that). I even had to ask for someone else to finish the cleaning because he didn't bother to hold my lip properly while drilling. How he's practicing dentistry is beyond comprehension. Then the final straw: at checkout, I was handed paperwork and asked what it was -- turns out it was to schedule a follow-up for a cavity I wasn't even told about. Dr. Zarger never mentioned it. No explanation. No conversation. No basic communication. Thankfully, Lisa stepped in to finish my cleaning and she was amazing -- professional, gentle, and competent. I've been coming here for over a decade, always seeing Kimber and Dr. Maro, and always left feeling taken care of. This time, however, was the complete opposite. After this bizarre, borderline negligent experience, I won't be returning. If you value your dental health and basic professionalism, avoid Dr. Zarger at all costs.

Dr. A was friendly and personable each time I saw her for my checkup and she also installed my second crown. John P. Dougherty, D.D.S., MAGD installed my first crown and during thought it was appropriate to make a racist joke about my New Mexican upbringing when he saw my x-rays and I mentioned I was born without wisdom teeth. If you're wondering what he said to me and in front of the tech when my mouth was numb, wide open and filled with tools: "It must be from all that inbreeding in New Mexico." I've always been under the impression that jokes are supposed to be funny. If he has the gall to say this while operating on a numb patient I can only image what "jokes" he has said when patients aren't around. If you'd like to know even more about Dr. Dougherty's character, the staff once told me he buys and resells Cybertrucks as a hobby. While I'm not a comedian, that joke writes itself. I didn't feel great leaving that day (despite my tooth issue finally being fixed) and let whomever answered the phone that afternoon know what happened. I didn't hear back at all from anyone, though Dr. A. did apologize next time I was in after I told her. The crown John P. Dougherty, D.D.S., MAGD installed that day lasted about 6 months before cracking and needing to be replaced, which he did (Dr. A was unavailable). Cut to eight months later and the crown cracked again and I've found myself using a new dentist office because John P. Dougherty, D.D.S., MAGD is more focused on his comedy career than his dental profession, neither of which he's very good at. I've had no issues with the crown Dr. A installed. If you're at all on the fence about Artistic Dental I'd recommend looking elsewhere, though I can't offer any tips on avoiding douchebag dentists with subpar skills. Maybe check how many Cybertrucks are in the parking lot.
