Welcome to Scottsdale Dental Arts, your premier dentist in Scottsdale! Our patients are all part of our dental family, and we look forward to making you feel at home. Whether it’s been years since your last appointment or you’re simply looking for a more personalized dental experience, we’re here to meet you where you are, without judgment or pressure.
At Scottsdale Dental Arts, we focus on whole-body health, starting with your smile. For our skilled dental team in Scottsdale, AZ, our goal is to understand your needs, ease any concerns, and set a strong foundation for a long-term partnership in quality oral healthcare.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your first appointment with us at Scottsdale Dental Arts typically takes about 90 minutes. During that time, we’ll:
- Review your health history and previous dental experiences
- Talk through any concerns, anxieties, or treatment goals you may have
- Take full-mouth digital X-rays and high-resolution images
- Complete a periodontal exam to evaluate your gum health
- Provide a preventive cleaning if no signs of active gum disease are present
- Walk you through your results with clear visuals and honest guidance
If you’re experiencing pain, swelling, or a dental emergency, those issues will be addressed right away. We also welcome requests for office tours, especially for those feeling anxious or bringing children. We want you to feel comfortable every step of the way.
We Don’t Rush Your Care
We take the time to get to know you, answer questions, and make sure nothing feels rushed or unclear. Dr. McCargar will personally walk you through any findings using our intraoral camera, so you can see exactly what he sees.
Why Gum Health Comes First
Your gums are the foundation of your oral and overall health. If we detect signs of gum disease or inflammation during your exam, we’ll begin with a full debridement to remove buildup and schedule a deep cleaning for another day.
Before we move forward with routine cleanings or restorative care, we want to ensure your gum tissue is healthy and stable. Because healthy gums are often linked to your cardiovascular, respiratory, and immune systems, we take them seriously in support of your total-body wellness.
Let’s Start Your Dental Health Journey Strong
