A family-oriented practice runs on the people who show up every Monday morning. Many of ours have been with Family Dentistry for years — long enough that returning patients know them by name, and new patients leave feeling like they already do.
Many of our patients started here as kids and now bring their own kids in for cleanings. That continuity shapes how we hire and how we treat.
Intraoral cameras mean you see what we see — so you can understand the recommendation before you agree to it, no dental jargon required.
Televisions in every operatory, headphones if you want them, and a team trained to slow down when a patient says they need a minute.
Dr. Jafari leads the clinical side of Family Dentistry, covering everything from routine cleanings and tooth-colored fillings to crowns, root canals, Invisalign, and full-mouth restorations. Patients consistently describe their visits as comfortable, thorough, and clearly explained.
The approach is straightforward: walk every patient through what they're seeing on the intraoral camera, lay out the options honestly, and let them decide what's right for their family — and their budget.
"This office is amazing. Ashley, the dental assistant was patient, informative and made me feel very comfortable. The hygienist and Dr Jafari were great as well. Overall great experience!"
Most of what happens during your visit happens with a hygienist or assistant beside you. Here are a few of the people you'll likely meet.
Ashley is often the first chair-side face new patients see. She walks you through what's about to happen, gets the room ready, and is the reason a lot of nervous first-timers come back for a second appointment.
Our hygienists handle every cleaning, periodontal therapy session, sealant, and Arestin antibiotic application. They're the ones who'll be with you through the longest part of your visit — and the ones who'll spot a problem early.
The front desk handles the part of dentistry no one wants to think about — insurance verification, scheduling around school pickups, CareCredit applications, and the occasional last-minute toothache fit-in.
Whether it's been six months or six years since your last cleaning, the rhythm is the same. No surprise charges, no upselling, no rushing.
Book your first visitReception verifies your insurance ahead of time so there are no surprise costs when you sit down. Bring your card; we'll handle the rest.
A hygienist takes new patient X-rays and runs a VELscope oral cancer screening — quick, non-invasive, and included with your visit.
You'll actually see your own teeth on the monitor as we work. The point is so you understand what's healthy and what isn't, in plain English.
The dentist reviews the images with you, recommends next steps if any, and answers questions. You leave knowing exactly where you stand.
That's the practice in a sentence. If you're looking for a dentist in Mesa your family can stick with for decades, we'd love to meet you.
