Tempe Dental Care

Best first time experience ever! My husband and I made an appointment and we just based the location on good reviews. Everyone their was friendly, informative, fast service, and a clean, calm atmosphere. I love the interior design and the set up is well organized. The lobby is big and has complimentary coffee and tea. My appointment was quick and easy.

I learned a lot about my current condition with my teeth and got an estimate break down on how much the total will be. I will definitely be coming back and marking this location as my primary dental appointment. Thank you so much Tempe Dental Care! #TempeDentalCare #Dentist #CleanTeeth #Coffee #starbuck

I recently moved to Tempe, AZ and had to switch dentists. Tempe Dental Care is a great! Very clean facility and friendly staff! 10/10 would recommend to anyone in the area.

I needed an emergency appt. due to an unexpected problem. I was seen that same morning. This practice has all of the modern technology with an absolute personal touch. Everything is explained clearly, options reviewed and the services perfect. I could not ask for better care from the Assistant or Dentist then I had. My problem was solved and my dental office visit was a great experience. Thank you!

After walking in to a super clean office, I was welcomed by warm staff. Sonora always does the best job on my teeth cleaning. I won't go to any other hygienist. I would recommend TDC to anyone!

Had an awesome visit as always! Hygienist and dentist both amazing. Would highly recommend.

Not a current patient but my experience trying to book a first appointment was so disappointing and hurtful. I accidentally missed my scheduled appointment as I had made it less than 24 hours prior and it was made for first thing in the morning. It was a big mistake on my part and I owned up and called to state that I wasn't going to be able to make it and if I could reschedule for another day.

The receptionist asked if I could come in at another time later in the day and I said no I had to work. She said, I should have known I had work if I had just made the appointment yesterday? And that I needed to provide 24 hours notice for schedule changes. I work full days which is why I need as early as possible and could not come in at any other time.

She became very annoyed and rude with me to the point where I was in tears after the call was over. I had done extensive research on dental offices in my area and was so excited to try this place out as it seemed amazing from reviews, but I made an honest mistake and was met with undeserved rudeness and unwillingness to cooperate. If this is how you treat new patients I want nothing to do with you.

I highly recommend Tempe Dental Care. I had called for a toothache and they got me in the same afternoon. I needed a root canal and crown and despite it being past 4 they said they could do it right then if I wanted. They even gave me a sheet that explained my out the door cost before we started the work. The Doctors, Technicians and Staff were amazing every step of the way.

I got went to a top denture. The temporary denture never was fitted correctly. I suffered till it was time for permanent. They bill unethically by charging a denture like cosmetics, then when I complained no one responded. I was I never trusted them.

I went for denture. They removed all my top teeth, then charged $750 for a temporary denture that never fit properly. I was told my insurance covered dentures when I first started process so would be able to get permanent Jan. I went Jan 3 for my permanent fitting at check out I was told my denture was covered by insurance and my copay was $54. I gave rep my card and it denied.

The woman was trying to run my card for $479. At that time she said I had to pay 50% of cost of denture. That is not amount she said she was charging my card, or how my insurance covered. I also reached out to better business but no response yet.

We have been going to Tempe Dental Care for many years and the staff is so friendly, welcoming, great at their jobs and everyone seems genuinely happy to work there. Sonora is an excellent Dental Hygienist and Dr. Jeff is very patient and so nice when he conducts his exams. I highly suggest anyone needing a new dentist to visit Tempe Dental Care. They are an excellent practice.

Recently I went and my teeth are so sensitive and it felt like the lady was so aggressive with my teeth. She apologized and said my gums are so irritated and gave me a plan moving forward. Everyone in the front is so nice and friendly. I switched to Tempe dental care after I had a horrible experience somewhere else and for the last 2 years I've been happy with them.

It's no surprise to me that the good reviews for this place outnumber the bad ones by an order of magnitude. Compared to the horror-show dentists I saw in Los Angeles, this place is Shangri-La. I've now obsessively read pretty much every review for this place. Every good review is fairly spot on with my experience, and every "negative" one is people who do not understand that there are NO perfect systems.

There is only a gradient of quality for any system you can imagine. No individual human is perfect, no dental practice is perfect, nothing is or ever will be perfect. There are disgustingly terrible things, moderately okay whatever things, and then there's phenomenal things. This place and these people are f***ing phenomenal. And I say this as a person with a truly cold dark heart.

Everyone here that I've met, top to bottom, front desk personnel to dental assistants to doctors, is a consummate professional. Even if they weren't (they are tho), their best quality is H U M A N I T Y. I seriously feel like writing a dissertation on this quality alone. I've been here four times now and every time the front desk folks were nice as all heck, even when I was being an ass**** to them (which I was!).

The doctor returned my call on his day off for no other reason than to ease my mind and tell me what's going on with my dumb neglected mouth. I am an uninsured patient who he owes nothing to and he could have easily told me to go kick rocks, but he didn't. The dental assistant has consistently eased my fears and humored me when I've made dumb tangential jokes.

This place has an in-house plan that legitimately saves you money. Does every practice do this? No. Do they have to do this? No. These people do it because they have the shred of humanity some other practices sorely lack. My grandfather once compared contemporary dentistry to car mechanics. If you aren't privy to the innerworkings of your car, a mechanic can pretty much just charge you for any tiny perceived sleight, much in the same way a dentist could.

But these people DO NOT do that. They even have a little sheet when you first sign up with them where you can pretty much tell them exactly what you're there for and they will honor that. They will work with you and they do not technically have to. This should tell you all you need to know. My final rating is 4.9/5 stars. Why 4.9? Because there are no perfect systems, there are just bad, okay, good or great systems. This place is an awesome, well thought out system.

I have been going to Tempe Dental Care for about 5-6 years now. Every time I go they are on time with my appointment and easy to work with. I don't have many dental issues so I am usually there for my bi-annual cleaning so it's pretty quick. The only things I would say that could be improved- some of the hygienists are a little rough when they are cleaning (but most recently had Stephanie and she was great!) and I will say I think I have a different doctor every time I have been there. However, as I mentioned I don't have many dental issues so it's not that big of a deal to me. All around though have always had a good experience!

I have looked for years for a dentist that is caring, kind and will listen to your issues without judgement. I finally found that at Tempe Dental Care with Dr. Jeff Ward. They have the most amazing team. From the front desk to the assistants, I was so impressed with this office and the professional way they handle their patients. I'm so thankful that I finally found a dental home! I highly recommend Tempe Dental Care.

I literally hate going to the dentist and am one of those guys that avoids it for too long sometimes. I'd rather just take extra good care of my teeth and stay away, but going to Tempe Dental made my last visit actually enjoyable. Dr. Ward is awesome ans thorough, and the staff is super friendly and accommodating. I finally found an office that I don't need to avoid heading to, and am glad that I can go without dreading it for once.

The staff is always professional and friendly. They do a great job of informing you about your health, the process and next steps. The building is very clean and organized. I've never had any problems. I also have my young adult children transition here from a pediatric dental office. I would highly recommend to others.

All great experiences at Tempe Dental Care! I've been going to their office for about 8 years. The dental hygienists & Dr. Jeff have all been friendly & professional. No issues with the work I've had done at their office over the years. I recommend this dental office!

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Tempe Dental, Dr Betsworth and the entire staff. They saw me for a dental emergency the Friday before a holiday weekend. Not only that, I was a new patient. I should say that I am a major "dentistphobic". Dr Betsworth and staff made me feel comfortable and addressed my emergency. Dr Betsworth has a great chairside manner and actually had me laughing(not an easy task when I am in a dentist chair). I now have an affordable treatment plan to fix my dental issues and look forward to continuing to have Dr Betsworth as my dentist.

I found this office when my previous family dentist retired after covid. I have been so happy with my cleanings and whitening treatments here. The front office staff is so kind and professional. The office is always immaculate, and Dr. Betsworth is awesome. He has great bedside manner and doesn't recommend procedures that are not needed. I highly recommend this office!

Always on time. Extremely friendly. Very conscious of your well being and pain levels. Best dentist office I've ever had.

I chose this practice because of the reviews, and feel compelled to write about my experience so others don't have to go through what I have or at least have the option to choose to go there. I was assigned to Dr. Ward. When I got there I was pretty sure I wanted to be done with future dental work and wanted a full set of dentures. They wrote up "the plan" which is an estimate.

When I realized it was going to be over $6000.00 I knew I would have to change my plan. Dr. Ward never sat down, never looked me in the eye but just did a quick peek in my mouth a new "plan" which was for an extraction and implant. I had a crown break while my husband and I were quarantined because he tested positive for COVID so I couldn't go out and get it fixed right away.

This is a visible front tooth. Once the extraction was done and the bone graft was complete the suture were placed and were way too long, the assistant asked the dentist if he wanted her to trim the sutures since they would bother my tongue. He didn't respond to her question. I then asked when I would get the temporary since I looked ridiculous with this missing tooth. Dr. Ward said "I didn't know you wanted one".

Well I didn't know I was suppose to ask. This is how little this man will talk to you and explain the procedure to you. I am an ICU RN and know how vulnerable it feels to be laid back with someone hovering over you and I will admit I have a panic disorder with dentists and this is why I went to this place.it advertises as Sedation dentistry. I believe if I'm going to have surgery I should be sedated.

I wouldn't get a total knee replacement without being sedated and this is surgery. I called the day before because I didn't see any sedation on "the plan" and requested Nitrous. When I got there I had to remind them and when the nose cover went on I was told they were new and patients didn't feel like they were getting anything. Well the reason they "felt" like they weren't getting anything is because they are not.

I asked to have it removed since it wasn't doing anything and was told to wait a minute (which means wait until I am done working). At the end when I asked about the temp Dr. Ward said it would be okay to take the impression over the newly suture hole in my mouth if there was gauze on the gum. That is where I got up to leave. I have had impressions done and they create a lot of suction.

Then I waited at the front desk to pay (and they can never find the current "plan"). I got to the car and realized I didn't have surgery discharge instructions. So I went back in and asked if I can start eating right away and one of the ladies started to explain the instructions to me and I told her please don't tell me I won't remember because I am so upset don't you have them written?

So while she went back to get the instructions one of the other ladies said "well you did get up out of the chair and just leave" and I said well I've been standing up here at the front desk for 10 minutes they could have brought them to me. The whole time there was an insinuation that all of this was my fault. Very poor communication between the back office and the front office, between the dentist and the staff and extremely poor bedside manner from Dr. Ward On this flipside I found someone else later in the week to take over the care of this hole in my mouth.

This is the best dentist office I've been to. They are very thorough and show real care. I usually have a tough time with getting numb and the drill is always painful for me. They are two for two with no pain while filling a cavity. I would highly recommend.

The dentist came in for 5 minutes & said his business office would print out an estimate. This was my entire experience. In fact the dentist didn't introduce himself nor did he sit down. Maybe to busy for my business. So, I understand and post the 1 star review. With that said I went to Aspen dental and feel blessed that I was treated so poorly, because Aspen dental got my business.

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.

Made an appointment to get my dentures relined and repaired. They had a small crack, I let the dentist now his assistant said you can come back in 5 hrs they will be ready. But she made it clear that if they break again you will have to get a metal plate put in. ok So why not do it now? As soon as I got home they cracked again. I'm not going back, they where done last year and cost $ 2,700 dollars what a waste

Dr. Ward has been my family's dentist for years, he is absolutely wonderful and professional. The office staff is always friendly and Donna is my favorite dental hygienist who does all my cleanings. Happy to have such a wonderful practice in my neighborhood!

Beautiful office! Dental team were all super knowledgeable friendly. Dr. Ward and team are the best! Highly recommend!
