Had a filling fall out of my mouth after an aggressive flossing instance. I called 2 dental offices and this one responded first on a Monday. The appointment was made, intake links were sent. When I walked in they knew who I was since I had to upload a picture of myself (very smart way to make a great first impression!). Friendly staff, pro assistant and doctor (I saw Dr. Chin). Very informative and communicative during the appointment. Pristine office. Modern equipment. Took care of my follow-up appointments. The only thing that can be a turn off for some, and I don't know if this is just the way dentist offices are nowadays, but all the patient rooms near me didn't have doors or I didn't notice them. Maybe they do where there is more invasive work being done but in my immediate area I was hearing conversations about extractions and surgery and whatnot. I mean it made me want to brush 10xs a day but that is what that part of the office was like. I hadn't been to a dentist in a loooooooong time. Is it weird that I can't wait for my deep cleanings and minor filling work? That, Yelp people, is the absolute sign of an amazing dentist team! Who AM I???

She's the kindest, most talented dentist I have ever met. She treats her patients like family; many are family or dear friends.

Leaving this job was the hardest part about our move. If you're looking for an exceptional dentist you'll be incredibly blessed to be seen by this woman and her team. I can't say enough about her. Dr. Chavez's team is equally wonderful and talented. "Good people" as my grandpa might say which is the highest compliment, I think.

The cost of the estimate was well within what I had thought especially being out of network. Would highly recommend. Dr. Chavez also takes new patients and when she schedules for a new patient, she does a comprehensive exam with consultation! I have never heard of that before but that only adds to the positive experience of this dental office. Thank you so much!

The extraction was a complicated one, The dental surgeon who did the work was the traveling dental surgeon Dr. Justin Rider. This was a new experience for me. My concerns revolved around: the procedure, having an unknown dental surgeon do the tooth removal, complications during & after the extraction, and the competency of the dental surgeon who would do the extraction. The reason for this review is to compliment both my regular dental practice (Dr. Mike Smith) and Dr. Justin Rider (the dental surgeon who did the extraction. Identifying my problem and the solution needed was done by Dr. Mike Smith at Tanque Verde Dental. His discovery and explanations of what was needed were sympathetic and my questions were answered so that I felt knowledgeable and prepared for my extraction. My procedure went smoothly. Dr. Justin Rider was competent and gentle. I would like to emphasize that I found Dr. Rider competent and gentle. How I was to handle my after-extraction care was clear.

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).

The one-star rating does not reflect my experience with the staff. I was very happy with the front…read moredesk and appreciated their patience with me regarding my new-patient documentation. 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.
