The mix is broader than most neighborhoods this size. Alongside 28 general dentistry listings there are five endodontics, five pediatric dentistry, four orthodontics and single listings in oral and maxillofacial surgery, periodontics, oral pathology and dental public health, plus two dental clinics. This guide works only from what the registry records, so it covers counts, streets and distances rather than atmosphere.
What is listed in Foothills Paseo Condominiums
Two roads carry most of the addresses. S 48th St has 18 listings and E Chandler Blvd has 16, with four more on S 46th St, two on S 45th St and one recorded as S 48th Street, which is the same road written a second way. Addresses appear here as the practice filed them, so small variations like that are normal.
The listings fall across two ZIP codes, 85048 and 85044. Twenty-five are registered as individual practitioners and 17 as organizations, which is a filing choice rather than a description of the practice: a single dentist can register a company and a group can appear under one name.
Eighteen of the 42 were registered before 2010 and the oldest registration here goes back to 2005. That gives you a rough sense of which practices have been at their address a long time and which are newer arrivals.
- 42 practices, 28 of them registered under general dentistry
- Five pediatric and five endodontics listings
- S 48th St: 18 listings. E Chandler Blvd: 16 listings
- ZIP codes 85048 and 85044
How to choose between them
For routine care you have 28 general practices to pick from, which is more than enough to be selective. Start with the ones nearest you, since a short trip is what makes you keep going back for cleanings, then call two or three and compare the answers.
Ask whether they are accepting new patients, whether they take your plan, what a first exam and X-rays cost if the plan does not apply, and whether you see the same dentist each time. None of that is in the registry, so the phone is the only way to find out.
Families have a real choice here. Five listings are pediatric dentistry, so you can decide whether to keep everyone at one general practice or send children to a dedicated pediatric dentist. Both work. A general dentist who is comfortable with young children is often the simpler arrangement, but a pediatric practice is built around it.
If you need something this area does not have
Only one specialty is absent entirely. Prosthodontics, which covers dentures, bridges, implants and full mouth rebuilds, has no listing here, and the nearest is in Tempe about 5.9 miles away with two practices. That is a short enough hop, though two listings means you may wait for an appointment.
Neighboring areas add options if the practices here are booked. Foothills Paseo has five listings one mile away, Cambridge Heights has seven at 2.9 miles and Desert Villas another seven at the same distance. Further out, Citrus Hills has three at 5.7 miles, Cimarron four at 6.0 miles and Villa Monte Vista five at 7.3 miles.
Insurance and paying
Being in network means the dentist has agreed fixed fees with your insurer, so your share is smaller and easier to predict. Out of network is not a quality judgment, it means the fees are the practice's own and you may pay more or pay up front and claim back. Confirm with your insurer directly, since network lists change more often than front desks notice.
For anything past an exam and cleaning, ask for a written estimate that lists each procedure, the expected insurance payment and your share. Our listings come from registry data, which carries no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information at all. None of the 42 practices here has claimed its listing yet, and claiming is how a practice adds those details to its own page.
If it is urgent
For a cracked tooth, a lost crown or pain that is keeping you awake, call general practices near you and ask specifically for an emergency slot that day. Many hold a little time back for exactly that. Being 16.3 miles from the center of Phoenix makes local options worth exhausting before you drive.
Go straight to an emergency room instead if swelling is spreading toward your eye or down your neck, if breathing or swallowing is difficult, if you have a fever along with facial swelling, or if bleeding will not stop. Those need hospital care, not a dental chair.
If nothing nearby can fit you in, search by distance rather than by neighborhood at dentist directory to see what else is within a reasonable drive.
Questions patients ask
How many dentists are listed in Foothills Paseo Condominiums?
Forty-two practices are listed with addresses here. Twenty-eight are registered under general dentistry, and the specialist registrations include five pediatric dentistry and five endodontics. Most sit on S 48th St, which has 18, or E Chandler Blvd, which has 16, across ZIP codes 85048 and 85044.
Is there a pediatric dentist nearby?
Yes. Five of the 42 listings in this area are registered under pediatric dentistry, which is unusual for a neighborhood of this size. Many general dentists here will also see children, so if you would rather keep the whole family at one practice, ask when you call whether they take young patients.
Where is the nearest prosthodontist?
Prosthodontics is the one specialty with no listing in this part of Phoenix. The nearest listings are in Tempe, about 5.9 miles away, where two practices are registered. Your general dentist will usually make the referral, and for many crown or denture cases a general practice can do the work itself.
