Dr. Indech suggested an alternative that helped save that tooth and prepare it for a crown. During a second procedure, he performed Lanap laser gum surgery.

Leading up to my procedure, I was quoted an anesthesiologist fee of $800 per hour with an expected 1.5-hour surgery, totaling $1,600. However, when I spoke with Dr. Khan three days before my surgery, I pointed out a $400 discrepancy in the quote. He stated that this was a mistake and that his flat rate was $1,600, regardless of time. I calmly explained that I was simply trying to clarify the cost, as I had saved for this procedure based on the information provided. I also mentioned that after the surgery, I planned to leave a review about my experience. At no point did I say I would report anything to the dental or medical board--only that I would share my honest experience online. Shortly after, Dr. Pontikas called me, stating that Dr. Khan told him I planned to file a complaint with the medical board--which was completely false. I reiterated exactly what I had said, but Dr. Pontikas insisted that he had "no reason not to believe" Dr. Khan. He then stated that because of this, he no longer felt comfortable moving forward with my procedure. To be clear, I never threatened to file a complaint with any board, nor was I aggressive or unreasonable. I was simply advocating for financial transparency. Instead of resolving the discrepancy professionally, my words were twisted into something I never said, and I was denied medical care as a result. Patients deserve clarity in pricing and the ability to express concerns without fear of retaliation. I am leaving this review because transparency matters, and I believe future patients should be aware of how this practice handles concerns.

I have an INTENSE fear of the dentist, let alone a periodontist. Just the thought of going was enough to make me shake and feel sick. But once there, and in the chair, everyone was great. I asked them to explain everything in great detail, and they did. That was really nice. From there, things were surprisingly smooth. When I had questions after...even weeks or months later, they were highly responsive and patient. Unfortunately, I am not able to continue with the implant process with them. They only use titanium implants and I have a sensitivity to titanium (I strongly encourage biocompatibility testing prior to any device doing into your body). So, this is where I leave them. Crazy enough, they made my experience not so bad!

Amazing experience!! From the ease of making an appointment to friendly staff all around. I was…read moremade to feel super comfortable the whole experience. During the whole time I was checked on to make sure I was doing okay and everything was explained every step of the way so I not only knew what was going to be done but also what exactly to expect. Dr. David Ngo took his time to review everything with me and thoroughly explain what he saw and and the reason for his recommendations. He was able to answer any questions I had and never did I feel he was rushing to get to his next patient. Made me feel that he genuinely cares about his patients and my dental health. I will absolutely plan on coming back for years to come. By far the best dental experience I've ever had!

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.

Have you tried looking for a periodontist in Phoenix?…read more Me too.... and if you've had my experience. You know it isn't easy, there's not a ton of information available online, and you really want to make sure you make the right choice. I came to Dr. K. (trust me, I still can't properly pronounce his last name - something he doesn't seem to mind) at the referral from my dentist. To be honest, I had a consultation for the recession of my gums on several teeth nearly a year before, and left the other specialist's office with an uneasy feeling that haunted me for some time. My dentist assured me that Dr. K. and his office staff were a notch above the rest, and I'm glad I took her advice. I had a consultation and as previously diagnosed - gum grafts were in my future. Starting to feel uneasy again (and made no better by googling gum grafts - which, do yourself a favor and take both mine and Dr. K.'s advice and just.... DON'T) I scheduled my procedure. I had opted for the Alloderm grafts that Dr. K. specializes in (opposed to a more invasive, significantly more painful sounding procedure previously offered to me in another office). Needless to say the next couple of weeks were a countdown to what I was sure to be a horrific experience. Up to this point, I had never had extensive dental work done and my neurosis and anxiety were getting the best of me. Plus, my incessant googling (again... DON'T do it) trying to find some other soul who had a decent experience with the procedure was nowhere in sight. The big day arrived, and I showed up properly medicated. The expectation was set very clearly I would be spending most of the morning in the office (13 teeth is a lot of work). I head back, put on an eye mask, pop in my headphones to start pumping jams..... and that was about it. Several hours (and one quick bathroom break) later and I was done. The only major discomfort I had throughout the procedure was some sharp pinches when they gave me the numbing medication.... but that was really about it. I was a little dizzy, I assume from the anxiety medication and time in the dental chair, but much to my surprise, the horror I had read about online wasn't what I was experiencing. I headed home confused as to why this procedure sounded like a scene from a horror movie online, but for me it seemed like a romantic comedy? (ok - kidding here. but seriously, it wasn't nearly as bad as the internet would lead you to blieve it is) I'm not going to lie and say the entire experience was all unicorns and rainbows (reference above - gum grafts on 13 teeth - clearly there was some swelling and mild discomfort with the stitches), but nothing that wasn't manageable with the medications they provided me. I'm also not a big fan of the soft/easy to eat food diet while having stitches in my mouth... but was made aware there would be some restrictions during the recovery process. So finally, the big day of removing my stitches came. That lovely Snickers bar I had been lusting over for weeks was finally within my reach. A little extra time in the chair getting the stitches removed and I was done. Believe it or not, I'm not a gum graft expert. But I can say I do notice significant more coverage on the teeth that were worked on, and couldn't be happier with the results. Of course Dr. K. also performs other miracles, which I can only assume have just as fantastic results. The fact is, throughout the entire process the entire staff went above and beyond my initial expectations of what it was going to be like going through this procedure. Thank you Cynthia for taking my calls with tiny questions and making me feel at ease, and thank you Lory for being a fantastic assistant and keeping me calm through the process as well. I would without question recommend Dr. K. and his staff is you're needing some work done. They really are a notch above the rest and I am happy to have chosen them for this procedure I had been previously dreading. Thank you for the 5-star experience!

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.

He referred me to Dr. Adashek at AZ Perio (in the Central PHX location). Upon arrival for my first visit everyone was very friendly at the front desk and every time after they always remembered me. After getting me into the room and conducting a brief exam, they brough in Dr. Adeshek who proceeded to tell me that my tooth needed to be removed and I needed an implant, but first I needed growth hormone to try to grow back some of the bone in order to put the implant in. I was so shocked and was not prepared for this news but he was so kind and understanding as I processed this information. The tooth removal and growth hormone procedure was scheduled right away and they made me a temporary insert (almost like invisalign with a tooth). Right after the removal I received a follow-up call directly from Dr. Adashek which was so appreciative. Over the next 6 months I was going into the office every 6-8 weeks until the area was ready for the implant and then after while the implant healed. It was a major dental journey to be sure!! They don't actually do the crown once the implant is inserted so I had to go back to my regular dentist for this -- now i will go into the office every year to check the implant. Overall I have been very pleased with the care I received during this lengthy dental journey!! Hopefully I won't need to go back but if I do I would definitely go here again.
