“My Scottsdale Dentist will do whatever it takes to ensure that our valued patients are cared for at the highest level. We make it convenient & affordable for our patient to receive life-changing care”
At My Scottsdale Dentist, we offer comprehensive care, including preventive services like cleanings and exams, cosmetic treatments like teeth whitening and veneers, and restorative solutions such as dental implants and Invisalign. We cater to all ages, providing personalized treatment plans for optimal oral health and a confident smile.
Yes, we accept dental emergencies and strive to see patients as quickly as possible. Whether you have a severe toothache, a broken tooth, or other dental trauma, we provide immediate care to relieve pain and address the issue. Call us as soon as possible for prompt, compassionate treatment.
We recommend visiting the dentist at least twice a year for routine check-ups and cleanings. Regular visits help catch potential problems early, such as cavities or gum disease, and keep your teeth healthy. Preventive care is essential for maintaining long-term oral health and avoiding more complex procedures down the line.
During a routine dental visit, we perform a thorough cleaning, an exam, and screenings for cavities and gum disease. We also discuss your oral hygiene routine, offer advice, and answer any questions you may have. Regular visits help maintain a healthy smile and ensure your teeth stay in great condition.
Absolutely! Our team consists of highly trained dentists with expertise in general, cosmetic, and restorative dentistry. We utilize the latest technology and stay up to date through continuing education to ensure the highest quality of care. Your comfort and health are our top priority, and our professionals provide safe, precise treatment.
Yes, we offer Invisalign clear aligners as a comfortable and discreet option for teeth straightening. Invisalign is a great alternative to traditional braces, allowing you to straighten your teeth without metal wires. We’ll evaluate your needs, create a customized plan, and guide you through the entire treatment process.
We prioritize patient comfort by creating a welcoming, relaxing environment. For those with dental anxiety, we offer sedation options to ensure a calm, stress-free experience. We also take the time to explain each step of the treatment process so you always feel informed, relaxed, and confident in your care.
If you notice symptoms like bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, or swelling, schedule an evaluation immediately. Gum disease can worsen without proper care, leading to tooth loss and other complications. Early detection and treatment are key to managing and reversing gum disease, protecting your overall oral health.
Yes, we offer dental implants and other restorative options to replace missing teeth. Dental implants are a long-lasting, natural-looking solution that can restore function and appearance. Our expert team will guide you through the process, from consultation to final restoration, ensuring a beautiful, functional smile.
Yes, we offer a variety of cosmetic dentistry services, including teeth whitening, veneers, and bonding. These treatments can address issues like discoloration, misalignment, and gaps in your smile, helping you achieve a more confident, vibrant appearance. We’ll customize your treatment plan to enhance your natural smile.

I visited the practice for a teeth cleaning, and the experience was excellent. They brought me back early for my appointment, did a great job with my cleaning, and were easy to schedule with for my next appointment. Overall, they are a 6 on a 5 scale…😊Posted on Google Jim KrimbillTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When my bridge unexpectedly fell out after 18 years on June 22, I called My Scottsdale Dentist, and they were able to see me the very same day at noon. Dr. Elannan thoroughly evaluated my situation, explained all of my options, and developed a plan to replace my bridge. Within just 2½ hours, I left with a temporary bridge, and they had already ordered my new porcelain bridge. I was so impressed by their efficiency, professionalism, and genuine care. Our family cannot say enough good things about this practice. Every time we’ve called—whether during regular office hours or after hours—they have been responsive, accommodating, and compassionate. I highly recommend Dr. Elannan and the entire My Scottsdale Dentist team to anyone looking for exceptional dental care. They truly go above and beyond for their patients!Posted on Google Guillermo GermanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would you like to thank Dr. Poulos and he’s staff for doing such an amazing job.
