Apache Junction, AZ Drs and Health Practioners

Though An Elegant Smile Dentistry's 16 dentists are spread across nine locations, they all share a common philosophy of dedicated preventive care. The team, whose members have been lavished with numerous Top Dentist awards from Phoenix Magazine, earns its accolades by determining the specific needs of each patient's mouth. Although routine cleanings represent the bread and fluoridated butter of their approach, they also mend smiles with cosmetic and orthodontic services designed to keep aesthetics in line with good oral health.

The right eyewear can achieve more than just utility—it can make a bold statement about the wearer and augment her or his natural beauty. With this attitude, EyeStop's knowledgeable staff channels their inner fashionistas to fit guests with minimalistic or artistic frames from Laura Ashley, Dakota Smith, and Vintage and Calligraphy. A team of licensed doctors evaluate the health and visual sharpness of eyes, fitting carefully selected frames with the proper lens to bring far-away surroundings and foregrounds back into focus. These doctors write prescriptions for contacts, single-vision and bifocal lenses—as well as trifocal lenses if you have another eye on your forehead—all of which are created in EyeStop's onsite lab.

Eric L. Kerbs, DDS, oversees each of My Family Dental Centers' 10 office locations, where his experienced staff practices general, cosmetic, and restorative dentistry services, including Invisalign, TMJ therapy, and in-office teeth-whitening treatments. Not content with resting on his laurels after earning his doctor of dental surgery from Virginia Commonwealth University and completing a one-year fellowship that focused on full-mouth reconstruction, Dr. Kerbs continually updates his expertise by furnishing each office with advanced equipment, staying on top of advances in his field, and periodically hiring a translator to help him interview teeth directly.

In addition to acting as your dentist, Dr. Navid Zamani wants to act a little bit like your mom. He or a team member calls each patient after they receive dental work at Gilbert Family and Cosmetic Dentistry just to check in on how they're feeling. As part of his mission to treat each patient like family, Dr. Zamani supplements his Tufts University dental degree with continuing education to ensure he is up-to-date on the most effective and comfortable treatments. Clients have praised his relaxed, modern approach, raving about pain-free root canals and a bedside manner that calmed anxiety. Beyond general dentistry, he and his staff specialize in aesthetic and restorative work, replacing silver fillings with naturally colored composites and brightening smiles with Invisalign, Zoom whitening, and recommendations for glitter-infused toothpaste.

Dr. Andrew Shumway and his team of eight—one for each incisor in a senator’s smile—go to great lengths in their roles as crushers of cavities and enemies of enamel erosion. A new-patient exam ($75) lets Shumway Dental Care shake hands with patients’ teeth and get a feel for the terrain. A full-mouth x-ray ($110) will uncover the deep, dark, childhood secrets lurking within the hearts of premolars, while a routine cleaning ($82) will undo the damage done by years of gnawing on Gramps’ homemade “chewin’ tobacky” and washing it down with his patented “bathtub Pepsi.”

The team at Sonoma Medi Spa help clients with anti-aging and rejuvenating therapies including dermal fillers and clear skin with chemical peels. The spa's number of laser treatments are performed by Medical Aesthetician Simona Garbarino and overseen by Dr. Peter Spanganberg. The skilled medical team can also smooth sagging eyelids and foreheads with tasteful surgery.
