Desert landscape and homes in North Scottsdale, Arizona with Pinnacle Peak in the background

Dentist in North Scottsdale

Family and cosmetic dentistry serving DC Ranch, Troon, Pinnacle Peak, and all of North Scottsdale — with Saturday hours and same-day emergency care.

North Scottsdale stretches from the Shea Boulevard corridor up through DC Ranch, Troon, and the Pinnacle Peak foothills — a sprawling landscape of master-planned communities, hiking trailheads, and family-friendly neighborhoods. Finding a dental practice that combines convenience with genuine expertise can be a challenge in such a spread-out area. That's where Summit Ridge Dental comes in.

Our Scottsdale office at 7425 E Shea Blvd, Suite 105 sits right along the main east-west corridor that connects North Scottsdale's communities. Whether you're coming from DC Ranch via Pima Road, from Troon along Scottsdale Road, or from the Pinnacle Peak area heading south, you'll reach us in 12–15 minutes with free parking when you arrive.

We've been caring for North Scottsdale families since 2014. Our team includes three doctors, 3D CT imaging, CEREC same-day crown technology, and iTero digital scanners — so you spend less time in the chair and more time enjoying the Arizona outdoors.

Why North Scottsdale Families Choose Summit Ridge Dental

Families in North Scottsdale tell us they chose our practice for three main reasons: our Saturday availability, the range of specialties under one roof, and the way we treat their children.

Being open every Saturday from 8 AM to 2 PM means parents don't have to pull kids out of school for checkups. We can schedule the whole family back-to-back so everyone is seen in a single trip. And because we offer everything from pediatric cleanings and sealants to adult Invisalign, implants, and cosmetic work, your entire family has one dental home.

Dr. James Patel, a Diamond-level Invisalign provider with over 1,500 cases completed, sees patients at our Scottsdale office on select days. Dr. Sarah Chen, our founder, brings 15+ years of experience in implants, veneers, and complex restorative work. And Dr. Maria Vasquez, who specializes in gentle care for anxious patients and children, joins the Scottsdale team on Fridays.

"We moved to DC Ranch two years ago and needed a new family dentist. Summit Ridge has been wonderful — our kids actually look forward to their cleanings, and my husband just finished Invisalign with Dr. Patel. The Saturday hours are perfect for our family's schedule."
