Arise Dental
Cameron Smith, DMD:
Practice Profile Page

I moved and needed to find a new dentist. I was referred to Arise and could not be happier. The initial visit with cleaning and exam went perfect. Cavity found on a chipped tooth. The next visit Arise fixed the cavity and placed a crown which was made onsite within a couple hours. So nice not to have to wait weeks to find out if the crown you bought was going to fit. If you need a dentist in Peoria or the Phoenix area do not hesitate to call Arise.

Update: I continue to go to this dental office but now see Dr. Smith, as Dr. Gardner moved his practice. Dr. Smith is just as wonderful in every way, and I could not be more satisfied. The staff continue to treat me like family, and I have NEVER had an unusually long wait. In fact, the waiting time in this office is the shortest of any medical office I have ever visited at any time in my life. Five stars doesn’t seem like nearly enough. I would gladly give Arise Dental 10 stars! We all know how important it is to trust our dentist, and my family has complete trust in Dr. Gardner and his staff. Dr. Gardner is gentle, thorough, and meticulous. In my mind, he is a perfectionist, which I love. He explains everything clearly, including all options, and works with the patient to come up with the best possible plan of care. His “chair-side manner” is warm, reassuring, cheerful, and considerate. Every staff member in the office is friendly, warm, and treats patients with the utmost courtesy and respect. They also respond quickly to dental emergencies. I HIGHLY recommend Arise Dental!

Everyone is so helpful and they really care about their patients. I’ve had many dentists over the years and Dr. Smith is the first one that gave me a shot and all I felt was a tingle. There was absolutely no pain! That was a first for me. I’m the one who grips the arms of the chair in pain. I was nervous and he put me at ease. I had a good experience there and you will too

I had a great time. Always kind and informative staff. Very personal, we talk more than just how the weather is. I do appreciate the concern they have for my wife Mary, who’s going through cancer treatment now and they asked to pass along well wishes. Need to set my appointments a little later. 08:00 AM comes real early when your retired. I always have a nice experience even though the work I needed was manageable, pain wise. You all have a great day… see ya next time…JMM.

After an unprofessional experience at another dentistry we were led to Dr Cameron Smith’s practice while it was still on Camelback Rd. The extra traveling at the time was worth it. Not only does he do a very good job, his whole manner and approach is friendly and personal. I still generally don’t like having to go to a dentist but a trip to Arise is as close to being a pleasure as it could be. They also find ways to accommodate what I can afford at the time. Well done, and thanks!

My first visit today. I had a lot to get done, a little neglect. The entire team from the front office people to the full crew in the back were very welcoming and professional. My assistant was really gentle as was my hygienist. I felt bad they had to see my mouth in that condition. Dr. Smith was as gentle and thorough as I have ever had the pleasure (if you can call going to the dentist a pleasure) of working on me. He was able to complete the crown in one appointment, which is very important for me, NO Time. I guess the reason for the neglect. I look forward to my next visit. Great Team!

This is the best place ever. Seriously. From Kelly to Carmen to Dr. Smith, they are all pretty awesome folks. You will love their compassion and their humor. And the family like atmosphere puts you at ease right away. I had a dental emergency this morning and they took me right in and fixed me right up. Even helped me out as I am a single mom. They are pretty diddly darned great! Merry Christmas Dr. Smith and the Smithettes!!!! You guys rock!!

Dr. Smith and his team are really fantastic. They are so friendly, down to earth and very professional. They have good office hours and seemed to get me in with ease. The office was clean and pleasant and everyone is in a good mood. You can tell they like their jobs very much and this can make all the difference. The doctor has a great bedside manner and you don’t feel rushed. I typically avoid going to the dentist and will wait years at a time. This group has changed my mind! I will be going on the regular like I am supposed to now. For my last three appointments I interacted with Dr. Smith, Barbara, Sanita, Kristen and Kelly. Keep up the good work Arise! Lori.
