Stop Searching. Call Advanced Family Dentistry Today. If you have been searching for a dentist, stop. Make an appointment with Advanced Family Dentistry (AFD). A dental appointment should feel like visiting trusted friends after a long week--not something you dread. That has been my experience at AFD. A dentist is one of the most important professionals you will ever have. If you cannot honestly say, "I love my dentist," schedule an initial appointment at AFD and compare the experience for yourself. In my opinion, the culture of any practice starts at the top. If the owner is not a licensed, practicing dentist, or if your dentist does not inspire confidence and put you at ease, keep looking. Payam K. Asadi, DMD creates a calm, relaxed atmosphere while maintaining exceptionally high professional standards. He appears to hire highly qualified employees, genuinely listens to their input, and has built a practice where the staff consistently appear happy, engaged, and proud of where they work. It is an office where patients are treated with warmth and respect. On my first visit, another patient noticed I was new and said, "You'll like it here. Never stop coming, even if you think there's a better dentist. There isn't." It was unsolicited advice from someone with nothing to gain, and after becoming a patient, I understand exactly what he meant. I had a complicated upper front tooth problem that multiple dentists either declined to treat or could not confidently address. Within minutes, Dr. Asadi presented two well-reasoned treatment options. Rather than automatically recommending implants, he explained why implants adjacent to compromised teeth might not be the wisest long-term investment given my age and my goal of maximizing the usefulness of my dental care over the next 35 years. I appreciated that he focused on what was best for me rather than the most expensive procedure. Dental assistant Vicente deserves special recognition. He is the first male dental assistant I have worked with, and I found the experience refreshingly comfortable. The conversation felt natural, professional, and relaxed, making the appointment noticeably less stressful. I appreciate seeing greater diversity within the dental profession and believe patients benefit from having talented professionals of every background. Another aspect I value is that AFD treats patients like responsible adults. The office has always been respectful and professional in its interactions, creating an atmosphere built on mutual trust rather than rigid bureaucracy. If you are looking for a dental practice where you will actually look forward to your appointments, where professionalism is combined with genuine kindness, and where you feel confident your care is the priority, I recommend calling Advanced Family Dentistry at (520) 293-9277. They look forward to welcoming new patients. (28 July 2028). read more

The one-star rating does not reflect my experience with the staff. I was very happy with the front desk and appreciated their patience with me regarding my new-patient documentation. Natalie, the dental hygienist, also did an excellent job with my cleaning. My concern is with the treatment recommendations I received during my August appointment. During my first examination, some of the dentist's findings were identified to me as cavities, and fillings were recommended. I was also advised that I needed two crowns on my front teeth. Something about the amount of recommended treatment did not feel right to me, so before proceeding, I decided to seek an independent professional second opinion from another dentist in Tucson. I am 73 years old and wear both upper and lower partial dentures. During my first visit, the recommendation for two crowns was discussed with me several times. However, at no point during those discussions do I recall the dentist mentioning that the crowns could potentially create fitting issues with my existing partials. During my second opinion, the dentist explained to me that the proposed crowns could interfere with the available space for my lower partial and potentially affect the fit of my partials. Another issue particularly concerned me after receiving the second opinion. An area that may have appeared to be a cavity was specifically pointed out by the second dentist as worn enamel associated with the clasp of my partial. During my first examination, I do not recall the term "worn enamel" being mentioned or any discussion about wear caused by the partial clasp. I only learned about the worn enamel and its apparent cause when the second dentist examined the area and explained it to me. I was also concerned by how quickly the financial side of the proposed treatment moved. Before I left the first office, a treatment estimate had already been prepared for me without my asking for one, and I declined to sign it. Based on what was explained to me at the time, I understood that my responsibility could have been approximately $1,100 to $2,000, depending upon how much of the proposed crowns and other treatment my insurance would cover. As a new patient, the process felt very fast to me. It had only been approximately six months since my previous dental visit, which was another reason I decided it would be wise to have the recommendations independently evaluated before agreeing to significant dental work. I am very glad I did. According to the second dentist's evaluation, the two crowns were not necessary, and I was advised that some of the proposed fillings were not needed. The treatment I am actually receiving has an overall cost of $586, including the amount covered by insurance. For me, the difference was significant--not only financially, but because the second evaluation also addressed the potential fitting issues involving my existing partials. What continues to concern me is the difference between the two evaluations. The two crowns had been discussed with me several times during my first visit, yet I do not recall any discussion about their potential effect on my partials. Likewise, I do not recall worn enamel or wear associated with the partial clasp being discussed with me. Both of those issues were brought to my attention during the second opinion. For most of my life, I tended to accept a dentist's recommendations without questioning them. This experience changed that for me. My recommendation to others is simple: when significant or expensive dental work is proposed--particularly crowns, extensive fillings, or treatment that could affect existing dental appliances--consider obtaining an independent second opinion before proceeding. As much as I liked and appreciated the staff, because of my overall experience and the concerns I was left with regarding the recommended treatment, I decided to leave this office and continue my dental care with another practice. After considering the amount of dental work originally proposed, how quickly the treatment estimate was presented to me, and what I subsequently learned from an independent second opinion, I was left feeling as though I was being upsold. That is my personal impression of the experience, and ultimately why I felt more comfortable continuing my dental care elsewhere. read more

I recently moved to AZ and needed a dentist for my son and I. I tried Advanced Family Dentistry because of their wonderful reviews. Unfortunately I left frustrated and disappointed. I gave 3 stars because they were very sweet to my son. Unfortunately they didn't have much of a variety of toothpaste flavors for my son, the fluoride they use is clumpy, sticky, and disgusting, they said they wouldn't advise I fix any of the concerns I have for my own teeth, and they don't have dental hygiene items to take home. It was also the most painful cleaning I've ever experienced and I got sprayed in the face several times. I was left with a disgusting feeling in my mouth and clumps of fluoride on my lips/face. It felt sloppy and rushed....Maybe it would have been better to go earlier in the day. Either way my search for a good dentist continues. read more

I have bad teeth. Part of it is genetic and part of it is the repercussions of mental illness from my teens. My whole life, I've had bad experiences with dentists and hygienists, with one hygienist even yelling at me in middle school. I moved to Tucson about 6 months ago and decided I needed to find a new dentist after I started having some pain. I settled on AFD based on the convenient location and positive reviews. I'm delighted to say that the staff lives up to their reputation! I have not felt belittled or shamed at all, every single person I've interacted with has been so helpful and kind. read more

Dr. Asadi does a great job, I've been seeing him for years. Glad I was able to find a dentist I can trust. There are certain hygienists I prefer over others though, some seem to care more than others and rush to get the job done. The one I have now I enjoy and does a good job. read more

Located on the right side of Oracle road, heading southbound towards River road is this truly hidden gem called Advanced Family Dentistry. I honestly really - like really "HATE" going to the dentist - dread every moment from picking up the phone, dialing, scheduling and driving to the office to get any dental work done. In the past, I had a horrible experience with other dental offices; staff being either rude or treating you like another patient. Advanced Family Dentistry takes customer service to the next level - like night and day compared to past offices! Dr. Payam Kimiaei Asadi and Natalie Itturalde took really good care of my teeth and made me feel as if I was their friend if not a family member. They are very knowledgeable and great at what they do! Danielle, the front office/office manager with a huge smile was very transparent and extremely helpful going through what my insurance covered and didn't cover. Just like the doctor and hygienist she was knowledgeable and made my next booking seamlessly easy! In conclusion - If you're in the market for a new home for all your dental needs and want to feel like a friend on every visit - STOP in at Advanced Family Dentistry and check them OUT! Looking forward to my next visit. KCYE Don.V read more

It's not that easy for me to go to the dentist. So, I looked for a highly rated dentist office. I'm so fortunate to have chosen this one. The minute I walked in, I was greeted by the front office with kindness and respect. Shanise, and Maypice explained what my insurance would cover. They were very knowledgeable, and helpful. They made me feel at ease. I was put into an exceptionally clean room for my treatment. I met Erika the dental assistant. She was so kind and explained what she was doing at all times. She is very experienced at her job. Dr. Asadi was professional and kind. He let me know what was going on during my treatment. He did a fantastic job. I am so happy to have found this gem. read more

Dr. Asadi and his staff are friendly and very competent. They make a visit to the dentist as painless and easy as is possible. Their prices are very fair and they've always worked hard with my on my insurance to make sure I got a fair deal. I've had them do 2 large bridges and several extractions. I'd recommend them to anyone requiring dental work. Lew Lepley read more

They are nice and welcoming. I came in to get a fitted night guard and brought my old one so they could get the same one I had. They gave me a different material and it fell apart over a couple nights. I went in again and they gave me another material that was not the same as my original one. It was so wrongly made it didn't look like my teeth at all. They remade the mold and gave me it. It lasted a couple months before cracking started to happen in the night guard and it moved my teeth and gave me a gap in my front teeth. Currently waiting for my appointment to see what can be done. I had braces for four years and wear my fitted night guard religiously to keep the results. Disappointed it's going to waste. And it's in the most noticeable part of my teeth. read more

One of my crowns came off the day after Christmas and I did not know what to do. I contacted Advanced Family Dentistry and Dr. Asadi was more than happy to see me same day, even though he was all booked up till 5:30pm. I was able to fill out all of my new patient paperwork online to save time. Once I arrived the front office person and the dental assistant made me feel relaxed and calm. Dentist offices are not my most favorite places to be. The work was quick and painless. I can't tell you the last time I was able to say that about a dentist office. So I set a new patient appointment for in the next few weeks. Thanks for everything!! read more

My wife and I were new to Tucson and looking for a dental practice. Reviews of AFD were stellar, giving my wife confidence in her decision to see them. Of course, I followed suit without hesitation. The front office staff were very friendly and welcoming. Natalie, the hygienist, was kind and friendly as well, in addition to being thorough, precise, and highly skilled in her profession. Dr. Asadi continued the welcoming trend of friendliness. His examination and assessment were thorough, and his recommendations were helpful. Also, it means a great deal to me that Dr. Asadi serves his community by providing dental care to homeless veterans. I am thankful for my good oral health and confident Advance Family Dentistry will aid in maintaining it. I highly recommend AFD! read more

I love this dental office. I have been treated so nicely and given really good deals. I was starting to get sensitive teeth and the hygienist help me with the right toothpaste and now I am back to normal. I needed crowns and they got me in the same day. They are friendly and affordable and not trying to manipulate to spend more. Really the best dentist office I have ever experienced. read more

I tend to get anxiety at dentists but I have never been so comfortable in a dentist's office in my life. I used several other dentistries in Tucson and non of them come close to the service you get here. Everyone is genuinely nice and wants to make sure you get the best care. Dr. Asadi and Vincente was professional, diligent, and just great at what they do. I wish I could give them more than five stars because this place is definitely deserving of it. The only thing I'm disappointed in is myself for not coming here first! read more

Everyone in the office was so nice and welcoming! I got bonding on a gap between my two front teeth. The dentist said that he would bond one of the teeth and see if we needed to do the other one as well. We ended up doing only one which looked great and was less expensive. They definitely had my best interest in terms of health, cost, and how it looked! Definitely recommend! read more

The staff are so friendly and talk you through any process at hand. They work to keep costs as low as possible. Great care given and appreciated read more

The entire team is amazing they treat me and my fiancé like old friends instead of patients which I truly appreciate they are of course professional but I feel important and so does my fiancé when walking through the doors or even just calling to make an appointment. They helped us out quickly and actually cared about what was going on. My fiancé has a gum disease that is quite expensive to manage and they called us with they best prices and options to treat him which we appreciate due to our busy schedules it's not easy to remember to call the dentist and I appreciate that they don't continually call they call just the right amount anyways thank you guys and please continue. read more

Finally I found what I was looking for! Ever since my dentist retired 4 years ago I have been going from dentist to dentist and no one did the work as well as my old dentist. From the moment I stepped in to the office I felt welcome. There were two sweet ladies at the front desk that helped me with some of the questions I had. Dr. Kimiaei came out shortly after to let me know that he was finishing up with the other patient and he would see me soon. He was very kind to go over every detail before he started to work on me. His work was as professional and neat as my retired dentist. After he was done I asked to get an appointment with the hygienist and they said she could see me right then since someone just canceled. The hygienist's name was Natalie. She was very precise with her work and spent much needed time on me since iI drink coffee several times a week. There are plenty of parkings in front and also on the side of the place. One other thing that I really liked about their office was that they had hand sanitizers in the waiting room and also in every room. One of the cleanest offices I have visited! They will have my business for life! read more
