Nearly all of them are general practices. That makes The Landings straightforward for routine care and awkward for anything that needs a specialist, because four of the recognized specialties have no listing here at all. This guide covers both halves of that.
What is listed in The Landings
Of the 38 listings, 27 are general dentists and 6 are dental clinics. Beyond that there are 4 orthodontists and 1 periodontist, and that is the entire specialist presence in the neighborhood.
Two streets carry effectively all of it. S Mcclintock Dr has 18 listings, with one more filed under a slightly different spelling, and E Guadalupe Rd has 18, again with one variant spelling. Between the two you have accounted for the whole neighborhood.
The split between individual practitioners and organizations is almost even, at 20 and 18. Twenty five of the 38 have held their registration since before 2010, and the oldest here dates to 2006. None of the listings in The Landings has been claimed, and none has published a website or opening hours with us.
- 38 practices, all in ZIP 85283
- 27 general dentists, 6 dental clinics, 5 specialists
- S Mcclintock Dr and E Guadalupe Rd hold almost all of them
- 25 registered before 2010
How to choose between them
For checkups, cleanings, fillings, crowns and general advice, 27 general dentists in one ZIP code is more than enough choice. The practical approach is to call three or four and compare on the things that will actually affect you: how soon they can see a new patient, whether they take your plan, and what an initial exam and x-rays will cost.
The near even split between individual practitioners and organizations gives you a real choice of style. Twenty listings are individual named dentists, where you are likely to see the same person each time. Eighteen are organizations, which can mean more chairs, longer opening and easier short notice appointments.
Since none of these listings has been claimed, treat every practice as an unknown until you have spoken to them. Being registered a long time tells you the address has been stable, and 25 of the 38 clear that bar, but it tells you nothing about price or availability.
If you need something this neighborhood does not have
Four specialties have no listing in The Landings: pediatric dentistry, endodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery and prosthodontics. That covers a lot of common referrals, including root canals, extractions of impacted teeth, and dentures or implant restorations.
The good news is that none of them is far. All four are available elsewhere in Tempe, roughly 0.6 miles away. There are 8 oral and maxillofacial surgery listings at that distance, 4 pediatric dentists, 4 endodontists and 2 prosthodontists.
If you want more options than that, McClintock Manor has 56 listed practices about 1.8 miles away and Continental Tempe has 34 at 1.0 mile. Camelot Luxury Homes has 16 at 0.9 miles, Heatherbrook has 7 at 1.3 miles, Renaissance has 4 at 1.3 miles and The Lakes has 3 at 1.5 miles.
Insurance and paying
Our records are built from public registration data. They do not include fees, opening hours or which insurance plans a practice accepts, and in The Landings not one of the 38 listings has filled any of that in. A phone call is the only way to find out.
When you call, ask specifically whether they are in network with your plan, naming the plan rather than just the insurer. Out of network with the same company can cost far more, and the front desk can usually check in a minute.
For anything beyond a routine exam, ask for a written estimate with procedure codes before work starts. Send it to your insurer and get their answer in writing. If a practice claims its listing on this site it can publish hours, insurance and prices itself, which is the difference between a listing you have to phone and one you can read.
If it is urgent
For sudden pain, a broken tooth or a filling that has come out, start with the general practices on S Mcclintock Dr and E Guadalupe Rd. Twenty seven general dentists within a short distance of each other means someone is likely to have a same day opening, particularly if you can travel immediately.
Some symptoms are beyond a dentist's office. Go to an emergency room if swelling is spreading toward your eye or down your neck, if you are struggling to breathe or swallow, if you have a fever alongside facial swelling, or if bleeding from your mouth will not stop.
If nothing in the neighborhood is open, search by distance from where you are at dentist directory.
