Everything below comes from the registry records behind those listings, which cover addresses, ZIP codes, provider type and registration dates. There are no reviews or rankings here because we do not hold that kind of information. What we can show you is the shape of the local supply and where its gaps are.
What is listed in Aderra
All 33 practices share one ZIP code, 85028, and every single one sits on one of two roads. E Shea Blvd holds 16 listings and one more is filed as E. Shea Blvd, giving 17. N Tatum Blvd holds 15 with another entered as N. Tatum Blvd, giving 16. Those variant spellings are the same streets recorded inconsistently in federal registration data.
Ownership is split almost down the middle: 16 listings are registered to an individual practitioner and 17 to an organization. The names show both patterns, from Ali A Bipar, DDS through to practice entities. Neither form tells you about quality. It usually tells you whether one dentist is likely to see you each visit or whether several share the building.
Sixteen of the 33 were registered before 2010, and the oldest registration in Aderra goes back to 2005. Roughly half the neighborhood, then, has held the same registered identity at the same address for fifteen years or more.

How to choose between them
If you want a regular dentist for exams, cleanings and fillings, there are 22 general listings plus seven clinics inside one ZIP code. That is enough choice to weigh convenience against continuity. Ask whether you will see the same dentist each visit, and how the practice handles a problem that appears between checkups.
If you need specialist work, treat Aderra as a starting point rather than a shortlist. One periodontist, two oral surgeons and two prosthodontists is a very small field, and any one of them may be closed to new patients or have a long wait. Your general dentist's referral is likely to matter more than the map here.
One practical note. None of the 33 listings publish a website or opening hours in the registry, so nearly all your comparison work will happen on the phone. Ask whether they are taking new patients, whether they are in network for your plan, and what happens if you call with pain.
If you need something Aderra does not have
Three common specialties have no listing in the neighborhood at all: orthodontics, pediatric dentistry and endodontics. For each of them the nearest concentration is Scottsdale, 5.6 miles away, which has 49 orthodontic listings, 36 pediatric and 34 endodontic. If you need braces, a children's dentist or a root canal specialist, plan on that trip.
Closer in, several neighborhoods have their own small clusters. Village Fairways is 0.9 miles away with 6 practices, Sweetwater Garden 1.1 miles with 6, The Preserve 1.7 miles with 8, Santiago 2.4 miles with 7 and Stony Mountain Villas 2.6 miles with 5. Mayflower Terrace, at 2.2 miles, has 3.
Insurance and paying
The first question to settle is whether a practice is in network for your plan. In network means agreed rates, so your share is worked out from a discounted fee. Out of network means no such agreement, and you can be left covering the gap between the fee charged and what your plan will allow.
For anything past an exam and cleaning, ask for a written estimate that lists the procedure codes, then send it to your plan for pre authorization. A verbal number is not something you can hold anyone to.
These listings come from a federal provider registry. It records names, addresses, credentials and specialty codes, and it holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance networks. That is exactly why a claimed listing matters, because claiming is how a practice adds what the registry cannot carry. In Aderra none of the 33 have been claimed so far.
If it is urgent
For a cracked tooth, a lost filling or crown, or pain that has kept you up, start calling the general dentistry listings on Shea and Tatum and say plainly that you need to be seen today. With no published hours anywhere in this neighborhood, the phone is the only way to learn who has an opening.
Certain symptoms mean an emergency room rather than a dental chair. Go to the ER if swelling is spreading toward your eye or down your neck, if breathing or swallowing is getting difficult, if you have a fever alongside facial swelling, or if bleeding will not stop. Those point to infection spreading, which moves faster than an appointment schedule.
When nothing nearby can fit you in, widen the search by distance at dentist directory, which sorts practices by how far they are from you instead of by neighborhood boundary.
