PATIENT REVIEWS

When choosing a dental professional for restorative and cosmetic procedures, a lot of thought and consideration went into selecting Dr. Pappas and his team.  I have just finished with composite veneers and am so pleased with not only the skilled artistry Dr. Pappas demonstrates in his dental care, but with how the entire staff work together in sync to ensure a pleasant and positive experience.  I can’t recall a time I wasn’t greeted with a friendly hello within seconds of entering the office, always offered a beverage and seen within minutes of my appointment.  Dr. Pappas possesses that wonderful combination of artistic skill and a true caring heart for his guests.  The chairside professionalism and care are top-notch and I can’t think of a better place to receive the highest in dental care.

Absolutely a most pleasant, professional & skilled dentist and staff. Dr. John Pappas is thorough, takes and to explain options. He’s highly skilled and the office has top notch dental assistants and is equipped with state of the art equipment and ultra clean and careful COVID 19 precautions. The policies and incredible office staff and make it possible to work with them on scheduling and payment options. I can’t recommend them enough !

If you have been prescribed gum surgery for periodontal disease visit Dr. Pappas first to get a second opinion. Dr. Pappas offers perioscopy, an alternative to surgery which is both minimally invasive and far more affordable. If you are looking to get perioscopy done this is the best place in the valley to get it done. Melanie is a spectacular hygenist and they are reasonably priced. I’m so grateful I found this place. Dr. Pappas and Melanie thank you for treating me!

Wow. What a great dental experience. Dr. Pappas and his super assistant Christina took great care of me. The office is clean and well appointed. You know, nice but not over the top. Christina had everything ready to go. The doctor was on time and he never hurt me. I honestly don’t know what the Arcadia Dental Arts team could do to improve a visit to the dentist. I can’t recommend Dr. John and his team strongly enough. If you want superior oral health care call Arcadia Dental Arts.

A friend recommended Dr. Pappas and his team after our family dentist retired. I was impressed with the team from the moment I walked in.  Pleasant environment, professional and personable staff – everything you would hope to see.  After several visits, I was able to convince my dentist-resistant husband to visit. The team won him over, and are helping him to regain his beautiful smile.   I highly recommend Arcadia Dental Arts for your care.

After 4 years from my first emergency visit, I continue to be a very satisfied client of Dr. John Pappas and his staff. Absolutely the most pleasant, professional & skilled dentist and staff.  Dr. John Pappas is thorough, takes and to explain options. He’s highly skilled and the office has top notch dental assistants and is equipped with state of the art equipment and ultra clean and careful COVID 19 precautions.  The policies and incredible office staff and make it possible  to work with them on scheduling and payment options. I can’t recommend them enough !

I went to Doctor Pappas after a particularly bad experience with another Denist. I was having muscle spasms in my jaw and extreme neck pains and migraines. He explained everything in a concise way and  made me a splint. Since then my pain has diminished 10 fold. If you are look for a dentist who is not only personable but all extremely knowledgable I would highly recommend Doctor John Pappas.

Today was my first visit as I am a new patient and I didn’t even feel like I was at the dentist. The staff was very friendly, offered me something to drink, provided a tour of the office, and explained what would be happening during the appointment. Office is clean. Equipment is new. Dr. Pappas gave the most thorough examination I have ever had, which was followed by a teeth cleaning that was easy breezy. I can’t even find something to nitpick about. I will definitely be referring anyone who needs a dentist to this place. Two thumbs up to everyone at the office for making it a positive experience!

I’ve had a couple of dentists in my life that I thought were pretty good but Dr. Papas and his team have blown me away not only with how caring and nice everyone is but the treatment I have received. Dr. Papas is so thorough and I always leave feeling secure in the dental work he has done. Thank you so much to the team for taking good care of my mouth. Cannot recommend you guys enough!

I can’t say enough about the people here.  Dr. Pappas was incredible warm, thorough, and kind.  He and his staff made me feel super welcome and at east, even after some pretty awful experiences with a dentist in my previous city.  I hadn’t been for a cleaning in almost three years and had some anxiety and fear going in, and I can honestly say they’ve got me for life after today’s visit.  Wonderful people, careful and thorough exam, and generally the best experience I’ve had with a dentist!

Stuff were friendly. They made an effort to remember your name. They would call out your name like they already knew you even though it was your first time going there. That impressed me. Doctor has a bunch of high tech equipments to help him serve us better. I was impressed by how thoroughly the doctor and the assistant checked my teeth and everything. My visits here has been very pleasant.

Dr. Papas & the staff are ABSOLUTELY amazing. They’re all very friendly & accommodating. My husband’s teeth aren’t the greatest & he’s not a fan of dentists. Dr. Pappas was recommended to him and he’s now less apprehensive to go to the dentist & they’ve done a great job at improving his smile. My son & I have since started going and they’re very family oriented. They inquire about our family & actually remember things.

I have been prudent in always seeing a dentist very 6 months as far back as I can remember! My experience today at Arcadia Dental Arts was the absolute best I’ve ever had! From the receptionists you the assistant, to the hygienist to the Doctor! I have found my forever dentist! Thank you to the team Dr John Pappas has put together! All knowledgeable, professional and friendly!

You know those people who excel in their work because they love what they do, are endlessly curious, live it, breathe it, & always want to know more? That’s this guy – Dr. John Pappas! While you’re sleeping soundly in your bed at night this guy is pondering how to give you the best dental experience & outcome of your life – seriously! In addition to his outstanding artistry, knowledge, & skill, he’s also warm, personable, caring, gentle, soft-spoken, patient, and humble! He also surrounds himself with staff who reflect all these great qualities.  When you walk into his office, you are treated like family – beloved family. It’s quite the treat! I’ve been his patient for many years, and frankly, cannot go to anyone else at this point – yes, he is just that good!  My current dental plan does not include him, which I didn’t know when I signed up earlier this year, so I’m self paying right now and will switch plans at the end of this year. He has also been a Phoenix Magazine Top Dentist, so he is highly respected by his peers. You just can’t go wrong with this guy. He is simply the best!.

Wow!  Wow just doesn’t say enough.  I broke off a veneer right before a vacation. Not just any vacation, but a family gathering with plenty of photos for memory building will assuredly take place. Well, a panic phone call to the office with less than a minute to spare… and guess what; Dr Pappas personally got on the phone and told me not to panic and that he’d take care of me.  …and you know what, he DID!!! It’s a shame that high quality customer service isn’t more like the customer service that one receives at Arcadia Dental Arts. Not just great customer service; exceptional, above and beyond, fantastic, customer service. Thank you Dr Pappas for taking care of my smile.

This comes with great pleasure to write a 5 star review for my amazing experience with Arcadia Dental Arts! Since moving to Phoenix almost a year ago, I have had the unfortunate task of finding a new dentist. This task proved harder than one might imagine! I had two horrible experience with two different dental offices, until now! I can’t say enough good things regarding my experience, the staff is awesome, the process of becoming a new patient was so easy, the forms were emailed to me, I simply filled in the blanks and sent it back! I was greeted warmly and had a quick tour of the office. Everyone is so friendly, it immediately put me at ease, and made me feel comfortable. Dr Pappas was so nice, very thorough, spoke in terms that I understood, and gave me his best assessment, and options for my dental plan. His attention to detail, and professionalism really impressed me! I can tell that this office is, “All On the Same Page!” It comes across easy, authentic, and naturally, they simply care about their patients, it shows in everything they do! I look forward to getting my dental health, in the best condition it can be, and feel confident in Dr Pappas in achieving that goal!

I used to avoid showing my teeth when smiling due to some dubious dental work performed in the UK. A few weeks ago I finally got around to finding a local dentist to fix my smile by replacing a front veneer (with some whitening for good measure). I couldn’t be happier with my decision to go with Arcadia Dental Arts. Dr. Pappas and his whole team are incredible -professional and friendly to the point that I almost *enjoy* going to the dentist now! They were even able to work with me on my tight schedule, staying late one night to get everything finished up before I left on a business trip the following day. Very happy with my decision and my new smile!

Highly recommend Dr. Pappas and Hygenist Sarah. My anxiety was no match for Sarah’s skilled, confident, professional, and patient approach during my teeth cleaning. She efficiently moved through the cleaning and provided needed education, including several demonstrations, highlighting what I needed to do differently to improve results. There was no judgment, just really helpful information delivered with care (after all, the last thing we dental-probes need is a judgey approach). If the very thought of scheduling your dental cleaning makes your heart race and your brow sweat go see Sarah! You’ll be in great hands!

I never really leave reviews but I felt like I had to leave one on here for Dental Arts. The reason for that is because I had the BEST experience I’ve ever had at dental office. They were very welcoming and made me feel at home. They were very accommodating, and the effort and work they put into the whole thing just showed that they actually cared about your well being and dental health. I would definitely recommend if you are a new patient. Will definitely be making this my new home permanently, as my old dentist office closed down during the lock down. So glad I came here! Thank you guys so much!

I give this dental office A+ in everything from ease of parking, to a wonderful, relaxing  environment in the waiting area, to friendly and helpful staff, to a friendly, knowledgeable, and competent dentist!  And they are very high tech to boot, with all the newest inventions to make your appointment as easy and comfortable as possible.  I had part of a crown break off on a weekend, called Dr. Pappas’ office on Monday, and walked out of his office on Tuesday with a new crown — because they have the technology to create a new crown right in their office and   install it at the same appointment. I only wish I had discovered Dr. Pappas earlier.

Another great dental appointment with Dr. Pappas, but actually Melanie. A great hygienist -was my practitioner today. Melanie is knowledgeable, Efficient, and gentle. As a retired hygienist I’m happy to call her MY hygienist. As someone who worked in the dental field for over 38 years. I just LOVE how nice their office smells. Kudos to everyone at Arcadia Dental Arts. Until next year.

Awesome!  My family has been seeing Dr. Pappas and his team personally for several years.  Having a personal background in dentistry for over 25 years makes the bar for excellence very high.  Dr. Pappas and his team are committed to excellence and quality care.  The warm caring environment and cleanliness of the practice are what puts that final cross on the T and the “dot” on the I!  If you are in need of a great dentist that achieves WAY above the bar of excellence, this team is your go to!

Dr. Pappas is THE best dentist in the Valley. He is incredibly skilled at the art of dentistry. I have had two crowns done by him and he did an excellent job. His chair side manner is caring and compassionate – he always takes time to chat and check-in with each patient. His staff is exceptional. Every time I walk through the door, I’m greeted by my first name and the staff remembers things we chatted about during my last visit. I can’t say enough good things about Arcadia Dental Arts.

Arcadia Dental Arts is hands down the best dental office, I’ve ever been to. They are exceptionally personable, knowledgeable, and skilled. Every person in the office goes above and beyond to answer questions and ensure that you have a positive experience. Dr. Pappas is a true artist and completely transformed my smile. I had really old cosmetic work that looked horrible, and he fixed it perfectly. I truly cannot say enough good things about this office!

One of the best dental offices I have encountered, this is where I would recommend my friends and family to in the Phoenix area. Clean, gentle, honest, and personable. The staff is great and you can tell Dr. Pappas fosters a great atmosphere where people are happy and caring. He also uses up to date equipment to deliver great results.

I have being going to Dr. Pappas’ office since he took over the practice from Dr. Carl, when he retired around 11 years ago (I could be off by a year or two.) I had been with Dr. Carl for many years before that. (I know it sounds irrevavant to talk about Dr. Carl in a review of Dr. Pappas et al, but I promise you that you will understand this apparent diversion in a moment.) Dr. Carl was, IMHO, the best dentist in Phoenix, bar none. His wealth of knowledge extended well beyond dentistry into total health of your mouth, jaw, etc. In a typical check-up, he always also looked for any signs of cancer, etc. — and this was the early 80’s! No other dentist I had been to or even heard of did this extra examination at that time. What I’m trying to say is that Dr. Carl would NOT have transferred his patients to Dr. Pappas if he didn’t have complete confidence that they would continue to receive the same level of care. And my opinion, Dr. Carl made a superb choice. BTW, some of the hygienists have been working there long enough to also have trained under Dr. Carl. They are also terrific.

This is a state-of-the-art place that takes dental health very seriously. Dr. Pappas spends quality time with each patient.  He is careful to thoroughly check all aspects of your dental wellness–beyond your teeth, he examines your overall health, your facial muscles, bones, jaw, and gums. His office is equipped with technologically advanced equipment, including the ability to do a CT scan and crown replacement on site. In addition, the entire staff is very professional and friendly. I visited as an “emergency” patient with a chipped tooth, just after the coronavirus lockdown is gradually being lifted, and I was very impressed with how all of the staff is being extra careful with hygiene and sanitary precautions, something that you want in your dentist’s office for sure!  Highly recommend!

5 months ago I finally decided to get rid of my front tooth that had turned super yellow after a sports injury several years ago. My normal dentist assured me placing a crown would be easy and I thought nothing of it. My initial dentist attempted my crown 3 times and they were all terrible. The top photo is what the third attempt looked like. It was awful. The shape didn’t match, the color didn’t match, and it was almost as bad as my own yellow tooth had been. Worse, the dentist made me feel crazy for “thinking” it didn’t match. I finally decided to go to Dr. Pappas who literally saved my smile. After one try it matches my other front tooth perfectly. Picture on the bottom is Dr. Pappas’ work. After dozens of novacaine shots, countless dental visits, tons of grinding, multiple temporary front teeth falling out, and a ton of hopeless days thinking I’d look like the top photo forever, I’m finally done and have the result I initially set out for thanks to Dr. Pappas! I also suffered some gum deformation from the initial dentist’s botching and several tries and shots, which Dr. Pappas kindly fixed for me as well. If anyone is looking to have dental work done, I HIGHLY suggest Dr. Pappas. His attention to detail is unrivaled.

My first time outside of a cleaning at this location and I had a great experience at ADA! The staff is so friendly and it really felt like they make an extraordinary effort to provide an exceptional experience. Dr. Pappas is friendly and professional. The dynamic that he has with his office is so fun to be a part of. If you are looking for quality dental work, you can trust this group to take great care of you.

I could go on and on about how much I love this dental practice. Dr. Pappas and the team are so friendly and I am always laughing with the whole team when I come in. Not only is the staff incredible but the dental work they do cannot be beat. I trust Dr. Pappas and their team with whatever dental needs I have. High tech, reliable and comfortable work has always been done for me. Thank you so much for caring for smile unlike any other dentist I’ve had!! -Chynna.

Just WOW! I have never experienced a dentist appointment SO thorough! I am actually looking forward to my next appointment! (weird to say for a dentist, right? lol). I learned things about my mouth no other dentist has ever told me! The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming (Thank you Christina). They showed me around the office on my initial consultation, and i even left home with a goody bag! Dr. Pappas is awesome. He took the time to get to know me and I felt really comfortable speaking with them. I didnt feel afraid to ask questions, which i usually am, and a normal dentist will just tell me whats wrong with my mouth and tell me what needs to be fixed and schedule the next appt. Dr. Pappas explained everything to me in detail and WHY things happen that way, and the best recommendations. I was referred by my friend, and they gave both of us a referral credit which is great!

On a recent visit to the dentist, my son was told he needed a ton of work on his baby teeth. Crowns, cavities, the works! At the kids swim practice, I laid my woes on another mom who happened to be a hygienist at Dr. Pappas office. Days later my son was in his chair for a second opinion only to hear that all the work was indeed required. Dr. Pappas was honest with us and recommend we get the help from a pediatric dentist who could properly sedate my active son to do the work. To make matters more complicated, our family was headed out of town in a week for a month. We needed the issue fixed fast and when our regular pediatric dentist could not help, Dr. Pappas got is in the hands of a doctor that could. Their office is the definition of great people, going over and above to help us…and we are not even their patients…yet! Amazing. Our family is forever grateful. I have not heard anything but positive feedback regarding Dr. Pappas in the community, and I could not agree more.

It didn’t take long to realize what a nice practice Arcadia Dental Arts is! I initially started off in a wonderful Orthodontist office, Budd Orthodontist, Dr. Budd. Now that I am finishing up my Ortho treatment I inquired about cosmetic dentistry and I got the best referral to Dr. Pappas! He & his staff were so kind & welcoming to me! Dr. Pappas got my feedback first and took that all into account then he laid out a treatment plan. I am excited for this next chapter of getting my smile fine tuned.

Full disclosure, I really dislike the dentist and in fact avoid going like the plague. Kim, Bethany and Melanie were fantastic. Kim works the front desk and is incredibly kind. Bethany is a dental tech and was very thorough and also kind. My least enjoyable person is usually the hygienist. This changed today as Melanie was very professional and caring. Lastly Dr. Pappas the dentist is also very professional, caring and kind. All in all I highly recommend this Dentist and his incredible team….. never thought I would recommend a dentist. Bottom line 5 Stars.

I came in for a second opinion after having a not so great experience with another dentist. They came highly recommended and it was absolutely worth my drive! My experience start to finish was pleasant. The staff really took their time to make me feel comfortable and get to know me. The exam was thoroughly done and I learned so much! No other dentist has ever taken the time to teach me things about what’s going on inside my mouth. I look forward to going back!
