This guide uses only what the provider registry behind those listings holds, which is addresses, ZIP codes, provider type and registration dates. It will not tell you who is good, because nobody can tell you that from registry data. It will tell you what is here, what is not, and what to ask.
What is listed in Las Villas
The 42 listings fall across two ZIP codes, 85253 and 85250, and they concentrate on three roads. McDonald Drive is the largest group with 17 once you combine the entries filed as E Mcdonald Dr, E Mcdonald Drive and E. Mcdonald Dr., which are one street written three ways in federal records. N Scottsdale Rd has 11 and E Lincoln Dr has 10. That leaves only a handful anywhere else.
Twenty seven of the 42 are registered to an individual practitioner and 15 to an organization, so solo and small registrations outnumber corporate ones here. Entries like Ann Kharrat, DMD and Bradley X Demark, DDS sit alongside named practice entities. The distinction says nothing about quality, only about who holds the registration.
Twenty eight of the 42 were registered before 2010, with the oldest going back to 2005. That is two thirds of the neighborhood carrying more than fifteen years at the same registered address, which is a high proportion.

How to choose between them
This is a general dentistry neighborhood. With 36 of 42 listings in that category, you have real choice for routine care and very little for anything else. Use that choice on the things that matter over years rather than on a single visit: continuity of dentist, how the practice explains what it finds, and how quickly it answers when something goes wrong.
For specialist care, one orthodontist and one periodontist is not a shortlist. Even the three oral surgery listings can be booked out. Expect your general dentist to refer you, and ask early where they usually send people, because that answer often decides the trip more than distance does.
Almost nothing here is published online in the registry: 1 of the 42 has a website recorded and 1 has hours. So calling is the reliable approach. Ask whether they are accepting new patients, whether they are in network for your plan, and how urgent problems are handled.
If you need something Las Villas does not have
Three specialties have no listing in the neighborhood. Pediatric dentistry, endodontics and prosthodontics all point to Scottsdale, about 5.4 miles out, where there are 36 pediatric listings, 34 endodontic and 24 prosthodontic. That is a single trip for a children's dentist, a root canal specialist or complex restorative work.
Nearer options exist for general care. Woodleaf is 1.4 miles away with 7 practices and the 5th Avenue Shops and Boutiques area is 1.6 miles with 20. Downtown Scottsdale and Scottsdale Estates are both 2.1 miles, with 12 and 11. McCormick Ranch has 17 at 2.6 miles, and the Main Street Arts District has 67 at 2.7 miles, the largest concentration within easy reach.
Insurance and paying
In network and out of network changes the bill more than anything else. In network practices have agreed rates with your plan, so your share is calculated from a discounted fee. Out of network practices have not agreed anything, and the difference between their fee and your plan's allowance can land on you.
For treatment beyond an exam and cleaning, ask for a written estimate with the procedure codes on it and put it to your plan for pre authorization before work starts.
The registry these listings come from holds names, addresses, credentials and specialty codes. It holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance networks, and it is not designed to. That is the reason claimed listings matter, since claiming lets a practice publish what the registry cannot. None of the 42 in Las Villas have been claimed yet.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a crown that has come off or pain that will not settle, call the general practices on McDonald, Scottsdale Road and Lincoln and say you need same day care. With hours published for only one listing here, phoning is how you find out who has room today.
Some symptoms belong in an emergency room instead. Go to the ER for swelling spreading toward your eye or into your neck, trouble breathing or swallowing, fever alongside facial swelling, or bleeding that will not stop. Those are signs of infection or blood loss that a dental appointment later in the week will not fix.
If nothing here can see you, search by distance at dentist directory instead of by neighborhood.
Questions patients ask
How many dentists are listed in Las Villas?
There are 42 dental practices listed in Las Villas, out of 853 across Scottsdale. Thirty six are general dentistry, three are oral and maxillofacial surgery, and there is one orthodontist, one periodontist and one dental clinic. Twenty seven are registered to individual practitioners and 15 to organizations, across ZIP codes 85253 and 85250.
Where do I find a pediatric dentist near Las Villas?
Not in the neighborhood itself, which has no pediatric dentistry listing. The nearest concentration is in Scottsdale about 5.4 miles away, where 36 pediatric dentistry practices are listed. The same trip covers endodontics, with 34 listings, and prosthodontics, with 24, neither of which is represented in Las Villas.
Are Las Villas dentists long established?
Many are. Twenty eight of the 42 listings were registered before 2010 and the oldest dates to 2005, so about two thirds have held the same registration at the same address for over fifteen years. That is continuity rather than proof of quality, but it does mean stable ownership in most cases.
