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…😊

 Trustindex 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!
