Dr Amy Okun was excellent in her service as I had a two teeth into one root canal which is repaired and moving forward on the appropriate attention to my issue. she has already consulting on which is best for my situation in full repair to area. I want to thank entire team which are very attentive to myself along with my wife. read more

Very rude individuals here. Customer service is non-existent, I reached out by phone, email and direct contact through their website to address my concerns with the owner(s). No response which is quite telling. Not only are they double the implant cost versus two other providers, but when I called to discuss I was met with pure nastiness for asking questions. I then cancel my appointment and I get a lecture from the individual answering the phones. I try to escalate to the proper people and mum is the word. It is too bad because they have a really great and compassionate male dentist. Just don't question anything. read more

Called this morning to see if they were taking new patients and could get me in. Was treated worse than I care to share. No problem! Just take your pocket book and teeth to a place that is professional. read more

"I don't have a lot of time either to be on the phone to schedule you." - Christine Filthy customer service. Would not recommend. Also they've been backed up for a couple months before you can get an appointment. read more

After nearly a year, I completed the process of getting my tooth implant installed! Couldn't be happier with the results. Thanks so much to everyone at Okun for making this as pleasant an experience as possible. You will always be my dentistry of choice for as long as I live in Tempe! read more

I love this dental practice! Dr. Irina and her team, are amazing, with no pain dentistry. I have had two crowns that were done the same day, with their 3D dental printer machine, no second visit. I had Dr. Amy Okun, also, and, she is great, too. Glad I found them. read more

Great dentists/hygienists but will never understand why the front office here is so rude and hostile. I personally know several people who are patients here and say the same thing. The dental care is exceptional but Okun really drops the ball with their front office. read more

Still my dentist and still amazing! They really care about the patients here and I always learn more about my teeth every time I come. Highlights are their customer service and text/email alerts which make it so easy to schedule and plan ahead. Gina and Olivia are awesome!

Looking for a great family dentist, we've been coming here for a few years now. They are awesome, easy to make an appointment, and they even have weekend appointments. The front desk ladies and dentists are so wonderful here, very friendly. read more

Okun Dentistry Tempe - Front desk - General Dentistry Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

See all

The only positive to this place is the nice brunette who worked with pediatrics at the front desk and Wrenley, DDS assistant.* I was suggested to see Amy Okun (who I heard is great) but she was unavailable so I had Syskel* I called about two weeks ago to set up an appointment to add glue to one tooth. I've had my retainer for over 15 years and it is permanent to my bottom front teeth. I was just charged $88 for an exam where all he did was look in my mouth, nothing but flash a light and touch 5 teeth with an instrument, which took approximately 2-3 minutes. That's it. Outrageous. DDS Syskel from the moment he started leaning my chair backwards, I could already tell was going to charge me more by the way he was prepping me with his body language and his particular verbiage. Syskel's resolution to my one tooth with little residual glue reminent was that he would have to remove the excess glue and went into a whole process. He told me it would take hours. He then told me that the tooth would shift without the glue, which is why I was here. However, I felt like I was being shamed into doing it. When the dental assistant came back with the price I was shocked. I politely declined and walked with her to the front where I was charged the $88, out of pocket. Cool. Worthless appointment other than waste my gas, time and money. Could have gone to groceries, school or the nonprofit I volunteer for. I called Las Sendas Dental (off Power where I have been twice because I lived in the area when I first moved here. They were great) while I was waiting for DDS Syskel to write the prices up and Las Sendas told me it would be $90 to fix. I will be scheduling an appointment once I'm done writing this. That's with the removal of what could be left too. When I go home to Wisconsin every six months, I get my teeth cleaned. If the glue comes off (rarely but it has happened in the past), I wasn't not charged more than $100 without tax. After today and my awful experience with the dentist on Southern and Higley at Smile, I can say I have very little respect for dentists in Arizona. They try to overcharge you, guilt trip you and attempt to justify longer procedures that entail more work than actually necessary. Be careful who you let touch your mouth.. those are lifelong damages you have to live with. Makes me incredibly anxious. Quite disappointed. read more

Buyer beware!!!! Staff is either aloof or following orders. They failed to communicate that they were no longer an "in network" provider for our insurance. This equated to a significant increase in out of pocket cost for myself and family (when compared to an "in network" provider). If they suggest a crown, I implore you to find a second opinion. Their costs are significantly higher than insurance allowances. No complaints with dental care but this outfit just doesn't pass the smell test. Good luck and I hope you find your experiences very different. read more

Let me just start this off by saying I AM SO INCREDIBLY PICKY ABOUT DENTAL CARE (in part because I worked in dental education for 5 years)... I cannot rave about this practice and Dr Okun enough! I was referred to the practice by my oral surgeon to place a crown restoration on my implant. From the moment I called in to schedule, I experienced the loveliest and most helpful front office staff, thorough and knowledgeable assistants, they are all top notch. Which comes as no surprise because Dr Amy is friendly, professional, knowledgeable, has impeccable attention to detail and is a perfectionist! Her chair side manor is the right amount of recommendation, education and discussion. Just like her staff she talked through every detail of what was going to happen and as it was happening. She isn't pushy or salesy at all. I would absolutely see her again... So as a follow up/back story I just want to say that I was hesitant to see Dr Okun at first - but ONLY because it's a 50 minute drive for me - I'm obsessed with my hygienist and have been with her for 21 years, because she's amazing. But this practice rivals any GP office and her work is great. I haven't had any issues with my implant restoration and I'm actually considering making the change to her practice despite the distance because that's how great the practice is! I hope my hygienist doesn't see this... read more

Great place, they are very helpful and good at what they do at Okinawa Dentistry! Great Group and I Thank You All! read more

I was just calling for a quote and the woman who answered was not friendly at all and seemed extremely inconvenienced when I asked what type of plan they work with, huffing and puffing saying "well. I guess I can check their website......." Wow read more

I have been coming to Okun Dentistry for years, I tell everyone about Dr. Amy and her team because they're amazing and so kind, helpful and accommodating. I can remember once I had terrible tooth pain and come to find out needed a root canal - I was in so much pain was so taken aback and thankful by the compassion and willingness to help schedule me with a same day periodontist- I highly recommend read more

This office is well organized, clean and efficient. They also have SATURDAY hours, but I recommend nabbing those appointment 2 cleanings ahead because they're always taken. Dr Styskal is very friendly and personable. As a dental professional myself I'd recommend them. read more

I went into Okun Dentistry today for the first time for a cleaning and dental exam. From the start I was impressed by all the staff, they were kind and caring. The dental assistant explained step by step what she was going to do and then carefully followed through. The dentist was Jeff Styskal. He was very thorough. It turns out that I had an infection above one of my front teeth. He carefully explained the options and gave me his opinion about which one to do. I felt confident that his assessment was correct. I worked with Ellen, the manager, to find someone to do the work. She took care of all the details and explained the costs to me carefully. I highly recommend this dental practice if you are interested in working with competent, skillful and caring individuals. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Irina! I have been seeing her for a few years now and will not see another dentist. She is very caring and good at explaining what to expect during any dental procedure. I also like that she points out any problem areas that she's "watching" so I won't be caught off guard when a filling is recommended during future cleanings. She has recommended a few things to buy me time before I'll need a gum recession procedure and they have been working much better than expected! I'm very happy I found Dr. Irina and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and honest dentist! read more

Beth is my dental hygienist & let me tell you, I have NEVER experienced a more amazing cleaning in my entire 26 years of life. Not only is Beth so incredibly personable & kind, I never knew that my teeth were suppose to feel so noticeably clean afterwards. It's been a month & they still feel amazing!! Due to terrible teeth genetics, I had to make an appointment to have a cavity filled. Dr. Irina did the fillings and Tore assisted her. They were both amazing! Dr. Irina was so quick & efficient & Tore was basically the hostess with the mostest making sure I was comfortable the entire time. I cannot express enough how throughly impressed I am with the entire staff at Okun!! I don't live in Chandler but I will travel to a business that is punctual, friendly, skilled at their jobs & genuine any day!! Thanks ladies!! read more

I absolutely love this office! I have been going here for little over year but every visit has been good! I always do my homework when I pick a dentist office and this office did not disappoint. Every time I come in the office staff at the front desk asks me "how my day is going?" and offers to set my next appointment. I never have wait long before going back to see my dental hygienist. Denise helped me today with concerns I had and gave me pointers with home care. She is very good dental hygienist! Dentist in this office are very friendly and stop in for consultation after your cleaning making sure to ask if you have questions/concerns. read more

Okun Dentistry Tempe - General Dentistry Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

The entire office is amazing. I have not been to the dentist in a while, I saw dr Amy Okun, she was professional and very polite. She recommended a few things I needed to have work on, and we got started. I ended up needing an extraction, bone graft and will eventually get a dental implant but Dr loud who works with Okun dentistry was able to get me in quickly and got the process going. Anytime I have had a question or concern about my healing process everyone has answered my questions or given me an appointment to quickly put my mind at ease. From the front office, back office to billing every person is genuinely sweet. Thank you again ladies! I tell everyone to see you guys! read more

This is office happens to be right in the neighborhood and very convenient. I have referred quite a few people including my husband. Everyone is very professional and welcoming. Needless to say I will be a lifetime patient. read more

I have been going to this dentist since I moved to Tempe. I schedule my cleanings 6 months ahead and never have any issues. I have had a great experience over the years with the hygienists at this practice. One time, one of my molars started hurting unbelievably. I called Dr. Styskal and he was able to fit me in that afternoon and then get me connected and referred to an endodontist and a root canal that day. I am so glad he understood and was able to help me so I did not spend a whole night in pain. Afterwards, he fit me with a crown. They have a digital way of scanning and a machine to create the crown in the office that same day. I even got to watch it being made! It fit so well I don't even notice it as different from my other teeth. Dr. Styskal has also been so patient in working with my husband who lived his entire life overseas and hasn't had good dental care before. After treatments at a periodontist he recommended, he has my husband on a path to recovery. I especially appreciated that he took the time to map out a step-by-step plan with us over many, many months and was always careful to explain his choice of treatments, whether it was the needed recovery time or what kind of material was needed for a particular crown. He would take the time to listen to our concerns and show us film and pictures of the area he was working on so we could understand what he was doing. Recently both my husband an I got fitted for night guards. In the past, I have spent hundreds getting other ones made and stopped using them because they were uncomfortable and even tried the gel kind you make yourself on Amazon. After getting the night guard made, Dr Styskal spent a good amount of time adjusting it until it fit correctly. I have been using it and no pain or inflammation or discomfort after a night of wearing them! Yay! If only I could find a doctor who was as awesome as my dentist! read more

Under the guise of apologizing for the bad experience I had, the dentist in question called me. After an insincere "I'm sorry for how you felt," he quickly switched course and began mansplaining to me that even though I "got a second opinion that I liked," he was still right about my cavities (though he did backtrack to say only two of the five that he originally "found" actually needed to be filled). Yikes! Here's my two cents: go to Simply Dentistry instead. Better dental care, and less sexism! read more

While visiting colleges in AZ, my son had an accident causing two of his teeth to be broken. One of them was his front tooth - he lost about 70% of it. This happened on a Friday at 3pm. After calling many dental offices in Tempe for emergency dental support, one office referred us to Okun Family Dental. Everyone we interacted with was incredibly compassionate, accommodating and professional. We were so blessed by their speedy and thorough care of our son. The Dr. provided excellent treatment that enabled our son to finish his college tours and return to LA for continued treatment. The office has continued to collaborate with our providers here for continuity of his care! read more

Dr. Amy is a top-notch dentist with a top-notch practice. Her office/staff are very professional - but most importantly kind and warm. I trust her implicitly - she's a great doctor and really takes excellent care of her patients. When I moved to Scottsdale from NYC, my dentist recommended Okun Dentistry. At first I was like 'but it's in Tempe' ... BUT, fast forward four years and I'm so glad I made the decision because she is phenomenal (for general as well as cosmetic). Highly recommend! read more

I've been going to this dental practice for several years now. I love Dr. Okun & her staff. Always feel well taken care of when I'm in their presence. They provide detailed education & answer all your questions. I can't recommend them highly enough. read more

I have been going to Okun Dentistry since I have had teeth. I love how they stay true to their roots. My entire family have been going to them since they opened. I had referred many of happy friends there. They make you feel like family. The staff is amazing. I can not say enough good things about them. The best thing is, they don't push products or procedures that don't need to be done. I respect them & love them. Support local & family run companies. read more

I have been coming to Okun Dentistry since I was a small child and each visit has always been above and beyond. Not only do I leave with my teeth perfectly cleaned, but the staff is always friendly and caring.

They are always cleanly, efficient, and on time and in my 15 years coming to this office twice a year I have never had any issues. D read more

I love Dr. Amy! She is honest, caring and meticulous! When I had a crown done, she was not satisfied with the color and had me go to the lab because she felt they could do better! The staff here is very friendly and caring also! Patsy just did my cleaning and is very thorough and interesting. She goes out of her way to teach you how you can better care for your teeth. read more

Okun Dentistry Tempe - General Dentistry Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Hands down this the best dental practice my family or I have been to. Every member that I have met in this practice, even if they are new, give the appearance and feel that they are all part of the Okun Dentistry practice. This is a testament to Dr. Amy's leadership and what she expects from her staff. Everyone here treats you as if you are the most special person for them at that moment. No one rushes you or is rude to you. Dr. Styskal came to the phone on two occasions when I had pain and called the office. He took the time to read my case so he could understand what was causing the pain and prescribe the right medicine without my having to go into the office. I have recently had my first ever root canals. Dr. Molina is one of the most gentle endodontists who makes you feel as comfortable as possible while doing the ever-dreaded root canal procedure. She explains along as she does the procedure so you are not surprised or caught off-guard by any part of the procedure. She is constantly coaching the staff working with her teaching them and sharing her knowledge with them. Gina, Lori and Ellen at the front desk welcome you with a smile and each time you walk into or call the office they make you feel at ease. They know almost everyone who walks in and what they are getting treated for and treat everyone with kindness. It almost feels like they've taken the time to read your file before you get there so you don't get a cold welcome. But I really think they just know all the practice's patients. Every Dental Assistant and Dental Hygienist is soft-spoken, gentle and calming. Some of the ones that come to mind are Renle, Ashtyn, Abigail, Beth, Alexis, Megan and Tore (who will make you laugh until you cry!). My wife, my two children and I will always trust our dental health to Okun Dentistry because we know they care and will prescribe the treatment that is best in our situation at the best cost options to us. read more

Okun Dentistry has been treating myself & 2 children for many years. From the front desk staff, to hygienists, to dentists - they are all wonderful. Have always made us feel at ease and given us great care. Honestly the best dentist in the valley!! read more

I recently had been going to a corporate office for my dentistry needs. However, after they started piling on the fillings and other treatments, I wanted to get a second opinion. My hygienist taught me the reasons behind what they look for during a cleaning, which no dentist office had ever done for me, and has changed the way I brush/floss. They took preventative treatment seriously, and explained to me that getting a mouth guard so I stop grinding my teeth was the best way to prevent cavities because they could see evidence of me doing it- I've asked my other dentists about this and they never took the time to explore it. They saved me money by being patient and telling me what would really improve my dental health. Really great experience. read more

We have been coming to Okun dentistry for 15 years. I cannot say enough good things about their practice. They are always pleasant, always helpful, always awesome! D read more

Well, there's always gotta be that one nay-sayer... I've been meaning to leave a review for a while. I went to Okun Dentistry after seeing their glowing yelp reviews. My permanent retainer came off and I needed it cemented back on. I called to see if that was something they could help with (my ortho is in CA) and they said yes. Dr Okun fixed the retainer but did a really sloppy job. He used a TON of the cement stuff and it felt really bulky. I figured "ah well, orthodontics isn't his specialty. At least my teeth won't move." They charged 200 bucks for about ten minutes of time and a shoddy job, but oh well. Then I tried to put on my removable retainer. Uh-oh. It wasn't even close to going over the huge chunk of cement. I called and the receptionist said to come right back. Right away Dr Okun seemed ULTRA annoyed that I was back. He grudgingly looked at the retainers and said I didn't need both anyway. I told him that I trusted my orthodontist in CA and really, really didn't want my teeth to move and I'd like it fixed. He proceeded to tell me that he has NEVER heard of someone having both retainers and said it was weird that my orthodontists did that (I have spoken with several dentists and orthos since and they said that is absolutely not true). Once we established that I wanted the mess fixed, he set to work. He shaved off a smidgen of the cement, tried to CRAM the retainer in and said "how's that?" I said it still didn't fit (not even close). Then he said it would be easier to alter the retainer. I let him try, he sanded it down to make more room for the glue, tried to SHOVE the thing back in my mouth, and inquired. Still awful. He went to shave more of the retainer and I panicked since it was becoming all to clear that he wasn't good at this. I asked him to fix the cement instead. Repeat the shave-CRAM-ask thing about three more times with an ever more irritated dentist. I finally gave up and said I guessed it was okay and left (it wasnt, btw). I reached out to another dentist the next day who got me in the same day but ended up referring me to an ortho who, btw, charged only $45 to fix the hot mess in my mouth. Again, I hate to be "that person", but I had a horrible experience here. I'm partially upset by his lack of professionalism and attitude, the price, and crappy quality work, but I'm also upset that he tried to do something that he was CLEARLY not good at. I would have had so much more respect for him (and no bad story...) had he simply referred me to an ortho. read more

The last time I got a filling, it was a miserable experience and is the #1 reason I've been putting off visiting the dentist for the last three years. I went in for fillings this morning and arrived about 5 minutes late. Nobody seemed irritated at my tardiness, there was no rushing, and I still got out in an hour and a half - exactly as long as they said it would take. My comfort was priority. Dr. Amy & Kristen were super attentive to body language. They would feel my hand every so often to see if I was tense, gave me breaks to rest my jaw, gave me vaseline for my lips to prevent chapping, and complimentary happy gas was of course a plus. (All of this while watching Office Space? Win!) The really refreshing part is that one of my fillings was very deep and potentially in need of a root canal. While it looked ok today, Dr. Amy warned me it could progress a bit, even after being treated. If for any reason I have to get a root canal in the near future (within the year), she will only charge me whatever is in excess of the filling she did today. A dentist with a warranty? Awesome. Overall, this was probably as enjoyable as getting a filling can be. I am not dreading my next dental appointment at all. read more

I didn't even Yelp this place, and yet I found so right. Professional This looks just like a dentist office should, only less clinical. Everybody acts really professional and they had me in within 5 minutes from arriving. Personable I happened to get Dr. Amy and Kristen and they both were was so personable and pleasant to deal with. Everybody in the office was nice and super approachable, easy to talk to and to ask questions to. Even humble enough to give my last dentist a compliment on his work (Strange, I know ;) Trustworthy I have good teeth, but I know that they could have sold me something by saying that they could have done this, or make a procedure for that - but they didn't. That is awesome, and that is why I give them my very best. I will recommend them to friends and family... even yelpers ;) There's no other way to put it, I have found my new dentist. read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this office! I was absolutely terrified going to the dentist since it has been years since I've been. But Alexis and Dr. Styskal made it great! They explained everything to me in depth and made it less scary. I ended up needing a referral since I had an issue with a root canal I had done years ago. Even the staff upfront was kind and explained everything in depth about what my insurance would cover on my treatment plan. Truly an amazing experience! The yelp reviews and the fact that they are busy speaks volumes! read more

Overall, the people are friendly, and my dental hygienist was really very good. However, the reason for the low score is the COST they charge for a cleaning is absolutely ridiculous: $231! The cleaning is $112 and then they charged another $119 for the dentist to come in, look in my mouth for maybe 2 minutes, say I need a cap, and leave. In other dental clinics, the quick exam by the doc is included in the cleaning. The previous dentist I went to charged $89 for cleaning, exam and x-rays. What Okun charges is far more expensive than what my mother paid in Los Angeles! Then, what's even worse, they have this "deal" where you pay $39 a month for two cleanings a year, which is $468, MORE than paying for the two cleanings individually. Some "deal"! If you are rich, and want to spend nearly $500 a year for a couple of dental cleanings, this is your clinic. For me, I'm moving on. PS: average cost for a crown in the Valley is $1200. Cost at Okun: $1785. read more
