Be Prepared for Three Top Dental Emergencies

October 21, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Every day thousands of dental emergencies take place. From painful toothaches to injuries to an abscessed tooth, dental emergencies can cause significant pain and can lead to losing a tooth permanently. If you’re unprepared, dental emergencies can be extremely stressful and painful to deal with.

Ask yourself, do you know what to do in these situations?

  • A tooth gets knocked while playing a sport.
  • You wake up with a painful toothache and can’t make it to the dentist for hours.
  • A tooth gets broken during rough-housing or playtime.

Ask your dentist in Tempe for exact information on what you should do in a dental emergency, but here are some tips to help you if it’s happening now: [Read more...]

Looking for the best dentist in Tempe, AZ?

May 12, 2011 By 1 Comment

Look no further than the Arizona dentists at Tempe Dental Care. Tempe Dental Care has the premier dentists in Tempe, Arizona and the entire Phoenix area. Our staff has been providing the Phoenix valley with gentle, pain-free dentists and dentistry for over 25 years.

We have a proven track record and the patient testimonials and dental reviews to back it up. We offer a variety of dental services including Tempe, AZ family dentistry, Arizona sedation dentistry, and cosmetic dentistry to ensure that we can provide the best service possible to our patients.

Some of our most recent patients (from this month!) have said:

Outstanding Care
I was very impressed with everything about this office. Everyone one was friendly and I didn’t ever have a feeling that things were rushed. I was comfortable and put as ease every step of the way. The staff was very efficient and the dentist was at hand at frequent interval. I had a sense it was important to everybody that all or any questions I may have had were answered. The procedures themselves were not in the least bit stressful. Again, the professionals took every precaution to make sure no pain was introduced, even cheering me on although in truth they did all the work. I visited a doctor’s office one time (not a dentistry) where after the doctor diagnosed me, then left me in a room alone. I guess he and the staff assumed the patient would understand when everything is over. I didn’t have to worry about this at TDC. The staff explain everything in clear understandable language what was happening and what was going to happen. Finally, the dentist followed up in the evening with a courtesy call. The most important thing I can say is that the office took me in for an emergency and even though it was my first visit, I was treated like I’ve had been going there for years. I can’t say enough and recommend.

Tempe Dental Clinic
If you want excellent care and superior customer service, this is the place to go. I have been there twice now and both visits exceeded my expectation! I’m scared to death of dental work and they have changed my thoughts on dental visits.
Cheryl M.

Awesome Experience
I have been going to Tempe Dental Center for over a year. I hated going to the dentist however, I love Tempe Dental Center. I had to have a tooth extracted today and I was very apprehensive. Dr. Ward is wonderful, he said “it’s over” and all I could say was really, really. After years of fear of the dentist I have finally found a dentist I am NOT afraid of. The office staff is great.

Choosing A Dentist in Tempe AZ

January 5, 2011 By 1 Comment

When it comes to your smile, it can be extremely hard to put your trust into someone new. At Tempe Dental Care, we completely understand. But what happens if your dentist retires, you move, or your dental insurance changes? More and more people are having to look for a new dentist in Tempe AZ and it can be extremely difficult to find one that you trust.

At Tempe Dental Care we like to think that we make it easy to choose us. We have over 50 reviews recommending us as one of the top dentists in Tempe on a variety of sites, not just our own. All of the reviews give us a fantastic rating on our quality and our service. Here are a few links to some of our review sites (Google, Yelp, CitySearch) with some excerpts of our favorite reviews below.

 “Great Dentist Office Tempe Dental Care is hands down the best dental office I’ve been to in the Phoenix metro area. Their front office staff has always been friendly and helpful and the hygienists and doctors are super knowledgeable.” – Anonymous Google User

“The GREATEST dental experience I have ever had!!!… I have never liked going to the dentist! She told me that he does oral and iv sedation, which I had never used, so I was nervous. Him and his staff made me feel so comfortable, relaxed and reassured that I had made the right choice. No pain, no memory of the visit! This is definitely the best dental experience I have ever had and I am going to refer anyone I know to him!! If you don’t like the dentist, this is the place to go!! THANK YOU DR. WARD!” – Anonymous  Google User

“Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I, like most, dread going to the dentist – for fear of bad news! I’ve been coming to Dr. Ward’s office for over 2 years now, and good or bad, everyone has always been extremely considerate and helpful. They always have my best interest in mind. Thanks to everyone there, I’m on my way to a beautiful and *healthy* smile!” – Anonymous  Google User

“Dr. Ward is like a tooth ninja. He removed my wisdom teeth so skillfully that when he told me he was halfway done, I was aghast. I couldn’t even tell he’d taken one tooth out! And it’s not that he’s just heavy-handed with the Novocaine, either, he’s just very gentle. I’d recommend Dr. Ward to someone who was nervous about going to the dentist both because they’re afraid of pain or they’re nervous because they haven’t seen a dentist in a while. Some of my teeth were in kind of bad shape, but he wasn’t judgmental about it, he just explained what needed to be done and gave me lots of lower cost options. ..[Dr. Ward] called me two days after my wisdom teeth extraction to make sure I was doing okay. That’s… really, really nice. That’s like 1950s doctor nice, like how on old sitcoms doctors are always making house calls but they never do in real life nice.” – Jenny R.

Plus, we take almost every type of insurance, take a look at our Financial page for just a small list of the plans we accept. If you don’t see your dental insurance listed there, don’t worry.

Visit The Dentist Every Six Months: Don’t Wait Until You Have Problems

October 4, 2010 By Leave a Comment

First of all, we have to say dentistry has improved over the last 20 years. Trust us, if you haven’t gone to the dentist in even a few years it will be a drastically different experience. Even if you do go to the dentist every six months, Tempe Dental Care prides itself on providing the best experience possible to all of our patients… we know many of our patients fear going to the dentist and we want to make the experience as pleasant as possible.

 

Dentists recommend regular six month visits to prevent expensive and painful dental problems. While not all problems can be prevented, with regular checkups they can be caught and fixed earlier – often before your tooth even starts hurting. And, any problems that may be found are much less expensive when found earlier than later.

 

Plus, if you have any dental fears or anxiety, coming in before you have problems or pain can help make your dental checkups easier.
