Children's Dental Village: Reviews
Fantastic experience: My children love coming to the dentist. Everyone is always super friendly and courteous to both the parents and children!
Fantastic experience: If you’re looking for a pediatric dentist who truly listens to your child and is compassionate this is the place. My oldest has a very hard time with any dentistry visits and Dr. Padilla has been amazing every visit. My youngest is 2 and he loves he’s had a great experience every visit.
Fantastic experience: Did great job with my 9 and 10year old daughters. Carter's had an emergency general appointment for some pain. They were experiencing what was nice about it. We've got the cleaning out the way also. The whole staff is awesome and then dog is great she fitsin
Great news!
Fantastic experience: Great care by Dr.Padilla, Dr.Lepetich for Ortho, great team and glad we have have them for our kids. We have been with the care for many years for our kids since they were babies. We have been amazingly happy with their care and service. Always Dr. Padilla team the best! Glad we found her our kids blessings!
Fantastic experience: As always, everything went fine with the service.Everybody there is very friendly and good at what they do.
Fantastic experience: We found this practice last year and have had several visits due to my child’s issues from cavities (not exactly a brag). Dr. Lepetich is reassuring and kind, and the whole office is patient and non-judgmental, even when your kid hates the dentist and you’re feeling a little apologetic just by showing up. A great place for kids who don’t have perfect teeth and strong opinions about dental visits.
Negative experience: Went in due to discomfort. Also, asked to schedule a cleaning. Instead of seeing the doctor first, they just went through the motions of doing to cleaning before having a doctor perform the exam. Find a doctor that actually cares about the health and welfare of the children, not just trying to maximize profits.
Fantastic experience: Very pleased with this office. Staff is all very kind, dentists are patient and awesome with nervous kids. Highly recommend this office.
Thank you for the kind words!
Fantastic experience: We love this place! My kiddo is always nervous she’s in trouble or not doing great but they always make her feel at ease and ensure her they are there to help her and she’s never in trouble! Such a wonderful place to take your small humans!!
Children's Dental Village specializes in small humans :)

Fabulous! We are delighted to have you as part of our Children's Dental Village family.
Fantastic experience: The staff was wonderful, sweet and made my little guy feel so comfortable at the dentist!
Fantastic experience: I wish my dentist when I was a kid worked like this place. Super friendly, great layout, excellent handling of the patients and parents - there's only great things to say about the folks at Children's Dental Village.
Fantastic experience: We recommend The Children's Dental Village to all of our friends with kids! We mostly schedule with Dr. Padilla, but we've had great experiences with everyone on the staff at this dentist office! They are so good with children and very understanding and accommodating! My kids look forward to going so that they can play in the playhouse, see the fish and get new toothbrushes. We have many children of different ages and all of them have good experiences which is why we don't trust anyone else for our dental needs!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Padilla and the rest of the staff are amazing! Starting at check in all the way through check out! My 4, soon to be 5yr old LOVES going to the dentist! Always so patient and doing only so much so the following visit my daughter knows there’s nothing scary about getting something put into her mouth because the previous time was an amazing experience. Thank you all!!
Fantastic experience: Am so happy and grateful for every staff Here. My children love to come for thier appointments We have been coming here for over 3 years now and we love it .Thank you guys for been such an Amazing team
Fantastic experience: My son has ASD, and the staff was so patient and sweet with him. Even recommending desensitizing appointments to help him get more comfortable. First appointment and yes, we will be back.
Fantastic experience: Every time we come to Children's Dental Village, we are treated with warmth, compassion, and personal attention. This starts when we walk in the door, continues through the care received from the hygienists and the doctors, and ends with the attention from the staff at the business desk as we wrap up. Dr. Padilla and Dr. Lepetich have taken such good care of both our our children (for more than 16 years now), that I often wish they would treat adults so I could have them treat me as well.
If only we could fit adults in those little chairs! Thank you for the kind words....we appreciate you as well.
Fantastic experience: Amazing, caring, ethical, and helpful office! The team here is very much accommodating towards your personal financial situation and will take the time to review multiple treatment options to make sure your dental goals are met. Assistants all smile and engage! Dr is to the point. Treatment plan coordinators provide a respectful approach and come from a place of realistic understanding. The office is super fun, clean, and comforting! The pet animals here are stellar! As animal-lovers of all creatures, my family enjoys the atmosphere and level of care that this office clearly represents. As a dental professional myself, I am very fond and proud that we are receiving care at Children’s Dental Village! Hands down, great office. Period. My 8 yo had major dental treatment all in one visit with the medicated cocktail drink and did amazing. The appt was quick and it is a relief that his treatment is finished without complications.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Padilla is the best dentist that my children have had. She is patient, caring, and the sweetest!!! We live an hour away and it is worth it as long as my children feel safe! She is simply wonderful!
Fantastic experience: Thank you so much for children’s dental they were so good to me and Dr Padilla was very kind and very good to us thank you so much I really appreciate the kindness for the kids and towards me and my daughter
Fantastic experience: We won 1 of the monthly raffles they have! They are kid friendly and safe! We enjoy our visits and we are never afraid to see the Doc
Awe. Cute!
Fantastic experience: Our son had a bad experience with a previous dentist, and we were recommended to try Childrens Dental Village. Dr Padilla, specifically, was amazing, and after a couple visits he is no longer scared of the dentist. Can’t recommend her highly enough.
Great news!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Camille Padilla is a compassionate extraordinary pediatric dentist whose mission transcends across her staff and peers in offering excellent care for your child. Highly recommend this practice as the best metropolitan Phoenix has to offer. Exceptional service hands down!
Fantastic experience: We love Dr. Padilla! She is patient, warm, and communicative. My two year old loves the play area in the waiting room and the guinea pigs! Best pediatric dentist ever!
Fantastic experience: What more can I say, both of my grandkids love coming to Children's Dental Village. On time appointments done by caring people. We have been coming to the Tempe office for about 6 years and will continue to drive from Laveen for great care!
Fantastic experience: We had an excellent experience here. The staff was great, friendly, & efficient. Extra choices on tooth polish/paste, too!
Fantastic experience: My daughter loves going to the dentist. Especially for the dog-Lexie. But we have seen both providers and both have been excellent experiences. Having had bad experiences at dentist myself I am happy that my daughter has had great ones!
Fantastic experience: This is the best dental clinic for kids! The entire staff is super friendly and kind, and they go out of their way to make kids feel comfortable. My kids enjoyed their visit, which says a lot about how awesome this place is. Highly recommend this clinic.
Fantastic experience: The children dental clinic provided exceptional care to my daughters, Maleka and Parneyan. The doctors and dentists are highly professional, and the entire staff is kind, compassionate, and knowledgeable. Their expertise and warm support made every visit comfortable and reassuring.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love the staff, my kids always feel comfortable and safe. We all leave smiling
Fantastic experience: Love this place! I could swear Dr. Longfellow treated me when I was a child! That is how long I have known about CDV. Now that he's, retired both Dr. Padilla and Dr. Leptich took over and they are both amazing with kids! My daughter loves it here; we started coming when my 19 year old was a baby! I would definitely refer my friends and family!
How cool is that?!? We love hearing those stories. We will take great care of your friends and family. Thank you for your trust...it is the highest compliment we can receive.
Fantastic experience: My kids loved their first visit to Children's dental visit. Making the appointment and 1st visit paperwork were quick and easy. I was able to complete quickly on my cell.
Fantastic experience: Dr Lepetich and his team are absolutely amazing! They make the office such a comfortable environment for the kids.
Many thanks for the kind words!
Fantastic experience: The experience my children & I have every visit is amazing!! The entire staff is awesome!! I would recommend all parents looking for a new dentist to come here!! Thank you guys so much for everything you do to make every visit the best visit!!
Thank you for the five star review!
Fantastic experience: They offer more sedation options than my kids last dentist and have provided a higher quality of care. They are very thorough and value the health and safety of my children. I felt like they listened to my concerns and took time to go over all my questions in detail.
Thank you for the kind words.
Fantastic experience: this place was amazing with my daughter all staff was very professional and were very patient with my daughter as this was her 3rd visit to a dentist. I will most definitely recommend this office to my family and friends with kids looking for a dentist.
Thank you! We appreciate that :)
Fantastic experience: My family and I love children’s dental village! The dentist are amazing! We also love all the pets we get to see every time we visit(: Lexie is a favorite and always makes us feel comfortable. You won’t regret visiting children’s dental village!
It sounds like you've found your dental home :)
Fantastic experience: They are great and listen to your kid and you. Pricing is clear and fair. They make sure your kid and you know what is happening every step of the way. Although, I am challenged on what part of the practice is the best the big fluffy incredibly well behaved therapy dog or the axolotl.
Dueling "bests"!
Fantastic experience: I am not usually one to write reviews but we love this dentist office so much and our 4 and 2 year old do too. My daughter’s first language is Spanish and Dr. Padilla made her feel super comfortable at their first visit almost 5 years ago now. And we’ve never gone anywhere else. The staff and doctors are great not to mention, the entire office is BUILT for the positive experience of the kids. From the tiny door at the entrance to the lobby, to the in office pets. Just YES. The dentist is such an easy place to not look forward to but I promise your kiddos will associate ‘dentist’ with fun after coming to children’s dental village! And most importantly of course our kid’s teeth are well taken care of.
Thank you for the kind words!
Fantastic experience: I love Dr. Padilla. She is great with my kids, good at communicating, and kind. It's a great office and they have a playhouse inside!
Communication is key. Thank you for the kind words.
Fantastic experience: WOW!!! This is THE BEST DENTIST EVER!! I took my 6 year old son yesterday. He had a big fear from his previous dentist. The entire staff went out of their way to calm and soothe him. The dentist was extremely knowledgeable, caring and friendly. She explained everything she was doing and took the time to show my son that dentists are not scary at all!! He is excited to go back!! 10/10 would highly recommend!!
We are big fans of the Tell Show Do Method....It's an effective communication method to help reduce dental anxiety. Thank you for the kind words.
Fantastic experience: My children have been going to this dental office since they were toddlers (they are 10,9, and 8 yo) and it’s been the best decision I ever made in my life. They are very attentive and caring. I have never had a bad experience. Scheduling an appt is super easy and fast. Both Dentists are amazing! I’m very grateful to have come across the most amazing dental office in AZ. They also recently introduced a therapy dog at the last visit and it made me feel so much more confident in continuing to go here. Thank you to everyone here for being the best everyday.
Who doesn't love a big fluffy dog!?
Fantastic experience: We love it here! They are patient with my daughter and they make her feel comfortable which is most important.
We strive to live by the golden rule. Thank you for the kind words.
Fantastic experience: This place is awesome! They have a beautiful fish tank with a little tree house for the kids to play and wait up front. The rooms in the back are clean and spacious. Great since I had two kids with me. The assistant made sure I understand treatment and answered all of my questions. The dr was amazing! He use kid words so they wouldn’t be nervous. Such as, we will help the tooth loosen up instead of pull tooth. Over all great experiences.
Wiggling teeth is one of our specialties. Thank you for the kind words.
Fantastic experience: My kids get so excited to go to the dentist and I believe it's because of the atmosphere and the amazing team here. I am so grateful for Children's Dental Village. They have made every single visit so effortless.
Kudos to you for setting your kids up for success!
Fantastic experience: I love Children’s Dental Village! My sister’s daughter and 3 of my nephews have gone their whole childhood. So of course, I wanted my son to go. And we have loved everyone there and their services. My daughter had her first appointment yesterday and the staff was so patient and explained every step to her. She left excited to go back in 6 month! I recommend this children’s dentist for you too!
We appreciate all referrals; especially from the same family :)
Fantastic experience: We love Children’s Dental Village! Everyone in the office is kind and patient. My son had his first ever visit and he was very nervous. They were very understanding with him and took their time. Dr Padilla is the best and she had a way with my son that calmed him and made him comfortable. My older children were all patients at Childrens Dental Village years ago, which is why we came back with my toddler now; they’re still just as great!
First visits are so important! Kudos to you as well for making your children's dental care a priority.
Positive experience: Buyer beware. They only have a year warranty on broken teeth that were reattached, including the bonding and materials used to fill in the tooth. My front tooth was chipped 33yrs ago and still strong. I guess they don't use good materials anymore. My son's front teeth lasted through braces, until last night when one of them popped off taking a bite of pizza. Only 9yrs since they were fixed.
Fantastic experience: Children's Dental Village is hands down the best pediatric dentist office we've ever been to, and Dr. Lepetich is a shining star in the field. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and cared for. Dr. Lepetich is not just an amazing doctor but an incredibly empathetic and personable one. He genuinely cares about his patients and their families, taking the time to listen and understand their concerns. What sets Dr. Lepetich apart is his thoroughness in exploring all possible treatment options and recommending the best course of action. He doesn't rush decisions; instead, he ensures that every choice made is in the best interest of the child's dental health. That level of dedication and attention to detail is truly remarkable. The entire staff at Children's Dental Village reflects Dr. Lepetich's commitment to excellence. They are highly professional, yet approachable and friendly. The office is well-run, clean, and designed with children in mind, making the dental experience less daunting for little ones. Having moved around and visited several dental offices, we can confidently say that Children's Dental Village is unparalleled. They are not just a dental practice; they are a team that genuinely cares about their patients. We are grateful to have found such an incredible place for our children's dental care. If you're looking for a pediatric dentist who goes above and beyond, look no further than Dr. Lepetich and Children's Dental Village. They truly are the best in the state!
We think he's pretty darn special too!
Fantastic experience: Grateful for the kindness and dental education the hygienist shared with my teen daughter. We love keeping her smile looking its best…especially as she starts high school.
Education is key.....thank you for the kind words.
Fantastic experience: This place is absolutely amazing! All the staff and Doctors go above and beyond! We are truly blessed to have children's dental village recommended to us! Thank you Dr Padilla for the warm welcome and wonderful care! Update: Just as great as last time! Thanks again Dr. Padilla!
Thank you for the kind words! And, please extend a warm thank you to the family that referred you.
Fantastic experience: We have been coming here ever since our kids have had teeth. They are so great. The staff are friendly and great with kids.
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: We love Children's Dental village. The dentist are wonderful, the staff is welcoming and remembers every kids name. The animals to help the kids feel safe and supported is beyond amazing. Overall the best experience always.
We find the therapy animals help soothe not only our patients, but their parents too!
Fantastic experience: Dr.Padilla, Breann and Jaira are lovely, I'm very happy I brought my son here for his very first dental visit. I highly recommend them to anyone, they truly care about their patients and that's something you rarely see these days. If you want your child to have a wonderful dental experience come here❣️
We see you met Taquito as well!
Fantastic experience: Excellent dentists, assistants, and office staff! My kiddo knocked her baby tooth out on the school bus and they immediately took X-rays and assessed for any permanent tooth damage. The dental care is almost as excellent as the play house in the waiting room, the kid-sized door, and the huge amount of animals they have to enjoy while waiting! They have the friendliest fluffiest happiest lop rabbit, a bunch of birds, Guinea pigs, 3 axolotls that are absolute units, and a big friendly bearded dragon named taquito! Everyone and everything is really happy to see us each time we go! If animals are not your thing, they’re on the court yard and can easily be passed on. There’s a really great coloring station in the center next to the axolotls, who have great taste in art. This makes it really easy with multiple kids and getting them hyped for something as boring or anxiety ridden as the dentist.
Thank you for the kind words and tour of our office :)
Fantastic experience: Me and kids, we love this place , the staff is always very friendly and helpful. The doctor is very professional and kind. Only good impression. Kids leave with a smile . And we love to see all these cute pets there. One more reason to come back )
Cute pets = Happy Kids
Fantastic experience: Customer service was great!!!! First time members and had a great experience, my 4 year old which he always been afraid of dentist he loved it.. very pleased thank you to all staff and doctor were awesome..
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Everyone was so kind and incredible with me and my almost 4 year old. During her cleaning Dr. Padilla made my daughter laugh and feel comfortable in the chair all by herself! The dental hygienist made us feel remembered and assisted in making her feel comfortable before the cleaning! Highly recommend this place for any kiddos who need dental care
Thank you for your feedback! We’re always striving to provide the best possible care to our patients, and your review is tremendously helpful.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Lepetich and all of the hygenist were incredibly kind and patient with my kids. It's always very clean, lots of activities for siblings if we're waiting for another to finish. My kids thoroughly enjoy going for appointments.
Patience may be a virtue, but at Children's Dental Village it ranks right up there with the Golden Rule. We look forward to seeing you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing friendly and professional staff. Always make our kids feel comfortable and have fun at the dentist! Also, a special shout-out to Dr. Padilla. She is truly amazing. The way she connects and makes our kids feel comfortable is incredible!
Thank you for the kind words and thank you for setting your children up for success. Bringing them at an early age not only lets the Dentist assess the condition of their teeth, but also gets them accustomed to appointments early on (while squeezing in a little fun as well :). We appreciate the collaborative approach!
Fantastic experience: All of our visits here for my 3-4 year old daughter have been amazing! They are so nice and patient with her being young and nervous. Would definitely recommend!
Thanx for the recommendation!
Fantastic experience: Everyone at this clinic from start to finish provides exceptional service. Front desk, billing, hygienists & of course the dentists! The entire staff creates a relaxed environment for both parents & patients! 5 stars all the way!
Fantastic experience: The last time Logan went to the dentist, he had to be sedated. The team & Dr. Padilla were so good. He did amazing & laughed the whole time. Absolutely phenomenal!
Positive experience: Everything was efficient. However I wish the attitudes of the employees were more child friendly, welcoming and kind. From my experience the employees seem impatient and like they don’t enjoy their work or being around kids. Including the dentist. He’s not very warm or friendly but the dental work is just fine.
Fantastic experience: The staff at children’s dental village are top notch. Very friendly and communicative about your child’s care. Love Dr Padilla and Dr Lepetich for their kind compassionate care.
We will be sure to share the kudos with the entire team.......and appreciate you taking the time to share your kind words.
Fantastic experience: We had a wonderful experience for our first visit. Everyone was friendly and explained everything so well. I was referred by another parent and they had nothing but great things to say about the office. Everything they said was proven true! Highly recommend this office!
First visits are so important to setting the foundation for a lifetime of good oral health. Thank you for choosing Children's Dental Village as your dental home.
Fantastic experience: I wish I'd gone to a dentist like this when I was a kid! We brought our 3yo here for their first exam to get them used to the dentist. We knew the reviews were great but we were blown away once we got there. Great care, great facility - our kid didn't want to leave lol!
Awe...thank you!
Fantastic experience: Children’s dental village has been the best for taking care of our son. At first I was a little nervous about taking our 18 month old to the dentist, but his pediatrician convinced me by sharing that since our little one is so active, it would be best to have a starting point if he ever had a dental injury. We took him to children’s dental village, had a great experience and did not expect to see them for six months. However two weeks after his appointment he fell and his two front teeth went back up into his gums! I called the Children’s Dental Village and they got us in within 20 minutes - on a day that they weren’t open! We’ve had follow up visits every 2-3 months ever since and every single time they continue to amaze me. Everyone on the staff are just absolutely outstanding, I can confidently say that our son will not have the negative dentist experience that I had as a kiddo. Thank you to the Childrens’ dental village - truly I recommended them to everyone who needs a dentist for kids. They’re safe, clean, fast, and most importantly they care about the kids and don’t just rush people through. Now my son is 5 and still Loves coming to the dentist. Truly Dr. Padilla & all the staff are incredible - I wish I could see his dentist! Going here is like watching Bluey - makes you want to be a better parent & truly love how attuned Dr. Padilla is each kiddo and how she listens to the parents too. If everyone treated people the way she does the world would be full of compassion & care. Can’t say enough good things!
Kudos to YOU for making sure your active son had an established dental home before his injury.....we realize that emergencies do not always happen during business hours and it was our pleasure to see him. Looking forward to seeing him again soon (but not too soon LOL).
Fantastic experience: Dr. Padilla works so well with kids. She is patient and lets them ask all the questions! The staff is awesome as well! Always a great experience at her office!
Communication is key.....we agree!
Fantastic experience: We always receive exceptional quality care. The staff is amazing, doctors are very attentive and gentle in their words and approach! Our son is actually excited about getting his teeth cleaned. We love Children's Dental Village!!!
Thank you for the kind words.....we will pass along your accolades to the Team. Kind and Gentle are our middle names:)
Fantastic experience: I brought my kids here for a second opinion, BEST CHOICE I MADE! Today was the first part of treatment, we couldn’t be more pleased! I’m extremely grateful for the care and attention my child was given. Thank you again!
Kudos to YOU for finding the right fit for your family.....it takes a village sometimes :)
Fantastic experience: The dentist here are the absolute best! I was recommended to go here by a friend and my sister. If you are looking for a child dentist this is an excellent place to go. Sad that they are not in net work with my insurance. We loved it here! Thank you to the doctors and staff for all that you do here.
Fantastic experience: We love the Childrens Dental Village! Dr Lepetich is great with kids, super friendly, and talks directly with my daughters about their dental health rather than just to their mom. What a great way to get them invested in their own oral hygiene.
Fantastic experience: The entire staff far exceeded my expectations and gave me and my son the best experience and patient care!! This place and its staff rank superior in comparison to any other. I cannot express how much I appreciate them and I'm also thankful to be in there care. Thank you Dr. Padilla and your team!
It is truly our pleasure and goal to go above and beyond for our families. Thank you for the kind words!
Fantastic experience: First time coming here, my daughter absolutely loved it, everyone was super friendly. They took the time to get to know her and she felt comfortable enough to let them take X-rays and she's 3. Loved it happy I switched excited to bring her back in 6 months
Thanks so much! We realize that our families have many choices for dental providers and we're glad that you've found your dental home.
Fantastic experience: Great overall experience. Mimi was awesome and kept me in the loop every step of the way. She made my boys feel comfortable. Felt like I was back home in California.
Communication is key....thank you for the kind words!
Fantastic experience: I’ve brought my daughter to 3 dentists, first 2 weren’t terrible just not very good with kids funny enough. Good dentists not personable. However, children’s village from the moment you step in the door is amazing. They have an actual 2 story play house (closed now for Covid reasons) for the kids. The first time we went we got a free kids book referencing dentists. And it was a good book. But it was just sweet. They always give a goodie bad of tooth brushes, 2 types of flosses, toothpaste, and sunglasses for the chair that shine the light into their mouths. Anyway, from the time you walk into the door the front desk lady is happy and sweet and makes you feel like everyone’s excited you’re there, the First Lady we saw Romi was so sweet, joy was the next she educated my daughter while finishing up her cleaning and not only was she funny and sweet AND educational but she was just the perfect person you want at a dentists office. Our dentist (I can’t spell his last name but it’s something like Lempski?) is always sweet and so good with my daughter and she HATES the dentist but she likes him! Then the checkout lady and guy are so kind and helpful so from the beginning to the end was amazing! They are always great!!! I’d recommend them to anyone!!!
From our entire team.....thank you for the kind words! We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Fantastic experience: They don’t get any better than Dr. Padilla! We got in the same day for an urgent dental issue. She took care of it with such kindness and skill. She truly is amazing!
We agree! Although Dr. Lepetich is pretty darn fabulous too :)
Fantastic experience: We had a great experience with Children’s Dental Village. Everyone was kind and helpful. They were able to get my son in same day when he had tooth pain, and the office runs very efficiently. We’ve had great experiences with Dr. Padilla in the past and Dr. Lepetich was great yesterday. Highly recommend…
Many thanks for the kind words.....we're always delighted to receive positive feedback from families.
Fantastic experience: We had a very positive experience recently. My son broke his tooth on vacation. We were able to make an appointment for the very next day. Dr. Lepetich placed a pulp cap and created a nice looking tooth for my son. We were so very pleased with his efforts to protect the tooth. The entire staff is always kind, gentle, informative, and very caring. It made a traumatic event as pleasant as possible for my son. We are so grateful.
Fantastic experience: Love love love the practice. Dr. Padilla is wonderful. The staff is amazing each and every person I have had contact with had been so gracious and lovely. You guys ROCK!!! The level of care and kindness is amazing with all the staff and Dr. Padilla.
It sounds like a great match because we truly enjoy our families too!
Fantastic experience: I love my kids dentist we have been seeing Dr Padilla since my boys were babies they love her. Definitely recommend the office. They have great staff too
Fantastic experience: Kind, caring, welcoming, fun, informative, efficient, and much more. They are all great. My 16 and 8 yr old daughters receive the best attention. So happy! Thank you!
Thank you for the kind words....we strive to live by the Golden Rule and are pleased that we've succeeded.
Fantastic experience: The best children's dentist experience ever! Every member of the CDV team is so friendly and kind and they really care about their patients. They have monthly drawings for a huge squishmallow, free water bottles in the lobby where you can read or watch the aquarium, or play in the playplace while you wait to be seen (which won't be much of a wait at all since they are so efficient with their time). They have a secret menu of toothpaste flavors in addition to a set menu, making it super fun for the kids to pick what flavor they'd like that day. The kids wear cool sunglasses to avoid the bright light, and curiosity is encouraged rather than discouraged (and kids can often talk up a storm lol). They also have coloring pages available near the axolotl and spotted gecko tanks. The check-out experience is fantastic and they even have an atrium area with a ton of animals! Guinea pigs, a bunny, and a parrot! Overall, best experience I could ever ask for my son to have. He even told his hygienist that he used to be scared of the dentist and now he's not.
What a wonderful tribute to our whole office! We are delighted that we've been sucesssful at squelching any fears your son may previously had and look forward to many more years of sunglasses, squishmallows, and playhouses :)
Fantastic experience: My daughter loves coming to the dentist thank for Children Dental Village. She is excited to go to her visit every time. This place even has some animals outside for the children to look at. Highly recommend.
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Love this office, I have been bringing my son for years. The staff members are very friendly and attentive. I live in the city of Maricopa, and I don't mind the drive to Tempe because I appreciate the customer service experience I receive.
We appreciate and thank you for continuing to travel the extra mile!
Fantastic experience: Not only are the technicians courteous and great at their jobs, but some of the office staff went out of their way to help me with some insurance questions. I have been taking my daughter here for over six years, and we always have an amazing experience.
Thank you for the kind words.....we aim to please!
Fantastic experience: I've been taking my kids here for the past 8 almost 9 years. 2 kids have had braces taken care of. Children's Dental Village is still providing excellent service.
Appreciate your kind words. Kudos to you as well for encouraging a lifetime of healthy oral habits for your children.
Fantastic experience: The staff is ALWAYS great with my children. Friendly, respectful, and knowledgeable. I have been bringing my children here for about 5 or 6 years and NEVER have had an issue. They send out reminders for appointments, and being a adoptive and foster mother to not only my children but the other I'm very busy so it helps alot. Thank you guys for all your hard work it does not go unseen, we love your office. My kids are always excited to go to the dentist.
Wowza....thank you!
Fantastic experience: They are the best. Not only are they My daughters dentist, they let her do shadow a doctor for college. All the people there are kind and friendly and are very good at what they do. Both my kids went here and never had a bad experience.
Fantastic experience: We absolutely love this place. I bring my two autistic children, and they always provide exceptional service. We have used them since 2019, and every 6months when we go, the dental nurse helps keep my kids calm. They talk gently to them, and tell them all the steps. The cleanings are great. The building is clean and well kept, and there is even a play spot for the children! We love it here. Thank you, team!
