    My entire filling fell out.
    Emily R.

    Save your mouth and your wallet a lot of hassle and DO NOT GO HERE. I normally don't use caps lock in reviews as I feel it's a little dramatic but, I don't know how better than yelling from the rooftops. So, first off, they bribe their clients to give them five star reviews with a $25 starbucks gift card. At first, I was pleasantly surprised by how clean and nice their waiting room is. The nurses are very friendly and I was always in and out in less than 30 minutes each visit. In hindsight, that should have been my first red flag. -the dentist definitely rushes through the appointments. I never gave a review for the gift card because something about the dentist rubbed me the wrong way. He was pretty condescending. Now, it has been quite awhile since I'd been to the dentist. I had 8 cavities that needed to be filled. The first one he did was a tooth that had been sensitive for awhile. I felt a lot of pain while he was working on it and he seemed annoyed. "Can you hold on for a bit longer? I'm literally almost done." I tried but a few seconds later, it was too much. He let out a sigh and gave me two more shots of Novocain-or whatever is used to numb these days. One more would have done the trick. He was working in my bottom tooth and used so much that my eye was numb. Second red flag. Now I probably had five fillings done. I kept going because hey were quick and fairly cheap (we will come back to that). At one point I told him that every time I flossed between a certain tooth that was just filled, it was like electric pain throughout my whole body. He flossed a bit for me and told me "I'm not sure, looks fine to me." And then said they probably needed time to adjust. Okay, like I said, it's been awhile since I've been to the dentist. I also notice that he seemed to have really drilled down one of my molars to the point that when I closed my mouth, it doesn't touch the top tooth. It was at this point I silently made the decision to not go back. Flash to four months later, ANOTHER tooth he worked on started giving me trouble. I'm talking can't even chew on a piece of bread. I was drinking water today at work and the entire filling just fell out. So much pain. Kinda gross, but I want to let you know I'm telling the truth, so I'll post a photo. I don't think fillings should fall out four months later. Last but not least, I keep getting bills in the mail months later only to find out they messed up charging my insurance and I owe them a few hundred dollars. I went back to look at their reviews, sorted by lowest rating, and low and behold mishandling insurance and a condescending dentist and a mess up mouth are all over the reviews. DO NOT GO HERE

    This place is all kinds of all right! Been coming here for a few years now after having a nightmare experience at another dental office. Dr. Betsworth fixed me up with my first crown a couple months ago, and as nervous as I was, everything turned out great. I started bringing my teenager here too for routine dental cleanings. They have made her a Maryland bridge, and a custom made flipper until she's old enough to get a dental implant for a gap she has from where she lost a baby tooth but has no adult tooth to grow in. Overall, everyone here has been amazing and courteous. Can't complain, I'm glad they are so close to my house.

    Thumbs up for this past place!

    My first visit here for a root canal and I will definitely be a regular patient of Dr. Purcell! She was very understanding, explained everything as we went along, ensured I was comfortable with the process, and patiently answered all my questions. Her Dental Assistant, Ashley was super nice and kind, made me feel relaxed from my "dentist anxiety". Watching TV during the process, having computer monitors to show and explain images from your X-ray, and music playing over the loudspeaker helps to ease an anxious mind during stressful operations! Actually enjoying my trip to the dentist, I will be back more often!

    Second day status post extraction - my temp dentures. In March, after a lot of healing, I'll get an even nicer permanent pair.

    I very rarely post Yelp reviews, but this has been one of the worse experiences with a dental office I have ever had.

    Love love love TSD and all their staff! The clinic is very well designed and is always in top top…read moreshape. I've been going there for over 20yrs, started when they were on Mill Ave in Tempe. Dr Tracy is the absolute best! She and her hygienists have taken me on a journey trying their best to save teeth that were pretty awful, but saved for around 18 yrs. Then, when it was time, took me through the journey of getting implants/hybrids. She has also taken care of my wife the same number of years. I've also had the pleasure of being seen by Dr Huber when Dr Tracy was unavailable... I think she also takes care of her patients with as much care as Dr Tracy. I strongly recommend Tempe Smile Design for anyone looking for a dental clinic, either for a needed change, or because you just moved here.

    ​After years as a loyal patient, I stayed with Tempe Smile Design on their in-office plan even…read moreafter losing my dental insurance. Routine care was fine, but when I was quoted a very expensive crown, I wanted a second opinion--especially as a senior on a fixed income. When I told the office, they gave me an ultimatum: if I went elsewhere for the work, I couldn't come back for cleanings. ​That major red flag pushed me away for good. The second dentist fixed the tooth with a simple filling instead, and it feels fine. Now I'm left wondering how much unnecessary, high-cost work I was sold over all those years
