Peterson Brian R DDS

Dr Peterson and his staff are amazing! Very relational and they take the time to be with you to address your concerns with honest feedback. They do thorough cleanings and great work when needed to be done. Always a positive experience

I want to first say that this is no hype! Dr. Peterson is both mine AND my husband's, best dentist EVER. This says a lot because we're both senior citizens, we're OLD and have had many dentists over our lifetimes. He is so attentive, professional and friendly. We're only sad that we found him late in our lives, not sooner! Thank you Dr. Peterson for being who you are! ❤️

This is an account of my experiences with two dental practices. As a retiree, I had a medical plan that did not cover dental for the period of 2014 to 2024. During that time I continued to care for my dental daily with floss and brush. I never had paid nor signs of gum disease. I used Groupon for yearly checkups and dental cleaning as they became available. In 2024 I changed plans to one that included dental. I sought out a dental practice that was covered with my plan and one that was near my home. I arrived for my first appointment and the dental tech took X-rays and digital photographs of my teeth. She then checked for gum disease using a method I was not familiar with but seems to be the way of the present. Using a scale of 1 to 5 with 1 being the lease space between gum and tooth and reported that I had significant 4 and 5 readings and "lots of blood". She said I would need periodontal deep cleaning. She also said she would NOT recommend a regular dental cleaning as that would interfere with the periodontal deep cleaning. Oddly, I did not taste any blood nor did she rinse the mouth as I would expect. She then said they would come up with a treatment plan. The dentist came in, and spent maybe 10 minutes telling me that I would need a periodontal deep cleaning and several crown for teeth that were starting to crack. Then he said the front office would go over the treatment plan and departed the room. The front office gave me a printout with what needs to be done, the amount that the insurance company would pay and what I would need to pay. The periodontal would cost me $514.00 and the crowns would cost $1710.00. This was after the $3400.00 paid by insurance which is the entire annual allotment under my plan. My thoughts were that I had never had gum disease nor had anyone suggested that my gums were in that shape and the photos of the cracking did not look to be in need of crowns so I felt that a second opinion was in order. The firm was Mountain Crest Dental in Mesa. I researched and found Dr Brian Peterson and made an appointment. After filling out the patent paperwork, I was surprised when Dr Peterson came out into the reception room and sat down to go over the paperwork to make sure he understood the history and assure that his work would take all precautions to assure my health. He spent about 20 minutes to make sure nothing he would do would cause issue and to also get to know me and me to get to know him. Then his dental tech took X-rays. Dr Peterson then came in and took digital photos and checked my teeth. He then, personally, did a periodontal exam the same as the other dental practice did. His results showed NO evidence of gum disease and said I DID NOT need periodontal deep cleaning. He said the teeth with evidence of cracking were NOT in need of crowns and in fact could be the same as they were for years. Time only would tell. He said I had one tooth that may need some work with filling repair but needed time to study the X-rays and photos and would talk to me when he did the regular cleaning. I then scheduled an appointment for the cleaning and left feeling comforted that my "gut feelings" were on track. I trust this dentist and feel that I now have a regular dentist to handle the state of my dental needs for years to come.

I’ve been going to Dr. Peterson for years and have always gotten the best experience with his practice. He and his staff have always made me felt so comfortable that you almost feel like family walking in. He is honest and very practical when there are areas of concern with my teeth. Calling me every year on my birthday and asking about my family is an added touch of how personable Dr. Peterson is, to him and his staff you are not just another number. I recommend him to anyone that asks me about my dentist and will continue to do so!

I just went in to have my 6 month cleaning. Daniella got my mouth sparkling again and is so pleasant and kind. She is an excellent addition to Dr. Peterson's staff. If you are looking for a new dental office, look no further and you'll be treated like family here.

Doctor Peterson and his staff are just wonderful! Going to the dentist in the past could be nerve-wracking for me, but he is patient, kind, and empathetic. Lisa manning the front desk is always a delight and very helpful with billing. All of the hygienists have been amazing. It makes going to the dentist office easy and I highly recommend them!

Dr Peterson is very professional and up to date with current practices. But just as important, he has a very warm, kind bedside manner. He's very patient with my children too. His staff is great too. The office is immaculate.

Been going to this practice since I was a young teenager. I used to have severe dentaphobia and coming here cured that. Everyone is incredibly friendly, kind, and professional. The office and rooms are all clean and relaxing. They are always on time and work quickly and efficiently while still making friendly conversation. I go out of my way to still come to this office and will continue to as long as I live in Arizona! 10/10 cannot recommend enough!
