I've been coming to Life Smiles for about a year now and they are still exceeding my expectations every time. I've had some traumatic incidents with dental offices and Life Smiles has shown their hard work, dedication, and pure intentions from the beginning that they are the ones you can trust. [[HIGHLIGHT]]All the workers from the front desk ladies, to the hygienists, to the dentists are all wonderful and compassionate.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I initially came in to replace 2 crowns and was nervous about how things would turn out, but Dr Schmidt eased my concerns and worked with me through and through to ensure I was more than happy with what I got. They are very thorough when it comes to crowns, I got a custom shade and we had to change it twice to ensure I was happiest with what I got. I still come into life smiles for all my dental needs, and Cassie does an amazing job with cleanings and is very thorough. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Mari and Keri up front are wonderful too- they are amazing at communicating and very flexible to your schedule and accommodating what you need, and explaining things in your plan.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Life Smiles thank you for being the dentistry I feel I can trust with my life LOL read more

The employees here are really really genuinely nice. I switched dentists because my last dental office was not a good fit. I mostly had a great experience here. I recently had a cavity refilled and the dentist was really gentle and tried to ease my tensions since my last experience (with another dentist/office) was awful. The reason why I dock a star is because the assistant helping the dentist was a little careless and messy. She would get water all over my face, neck, and I felt like I was getting a little shower. I think on another occasion, I had the same issue. Overall though, I would recommend since they all are so friendly. read more

I love this dental office. The doctors are extremely knowledgeable, caring and meticulous. I've been seeing Dr. Schmidt for over five years and I cannot brag about him enough. He is incredible. I also see Olivia for my dental cleaning and she is amazing. She is very gentle and super friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]She gets to know her patients, and takes really good care of them.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great people all around, I cannot say enough great things about them.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Thank you for all that you do and always try to accommodate us as much as possible![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This office and all staff is absolutely magnificent and deserve 10 Stars!!! Before I found Life Smiles in 2017, my lifes previous dental experiences had been mediocre at best. After being quoted an exorbitant amount for some periodontal work, I researched reviews finding this practice and Dr. Schmidt. We agreed what I had been previously prescribed may have been a bit agressive and elected to treat the primary areas 1st, taking a more conservative approach and see how I healed. A year later and 1/2 the price, my gums were very healthy. I've continued cleanings with Jackie, who is also amazing, every 4 months and still have no periodontal issues. Over the next several years, several implants and crowns later, not only was my mouth healthier than in my entire life, my smile esthetics had improved 1000%. Now The REAL PIECE DE RESISTANCE...almost a year ago, Easter Eve, due to a fall I had taken a few months earlier, my 2 beautiful front crowns completely failed. In hiding for the next 18 hours I anquished over what the heck I was going to do. Early afternoon it occured to me to leave a message @ Life Smiles so I could possibly get in as soon as possible the next day. No more than 20 minutes later, EASTER AFTERNOON, Dr. Schmidt was on the phone! 20 minutes after that, I was scheduled Monday @ 7:30AM with Dr. Nielson, who is equally amazing! It's been a journey, but from the front desk, to the technicians, the doctors, these talented and compassionate souls helped pull me through it and once again I'm even more Beautifully, Smiling @ Life! read more

As always, it was simple to arrange an appointment, staff is fabulous, and Dr. Nielson provided a concise and easily understandable set of options for my dental repair. If you are looking for a dental group that has it all, Dr. Nielson and Dr. Schmidt are your go-to professionals. read more

By far the best dentist I've ever gone to!!The entire staff is so friendly and incredibly accommodating. They definitely have a warm and welcoming feel. Their office is aesthetically pleasing, very clean as well. I went to them as a new patient and was originally just interested in a consultation. They were very informative and gave me different options for what I was interested in as well as explaining the procedure and what to expect. I was able to see before and after pictures which was really helpful and I felt very comfortable with their level of expertise and knowledge. They were great at answering any questions I had as well. After having had bonding done there, I was so pleased. My teeth look beautiful and I keep getting compliments on my smile. And my procedure was painless and done in a timely fashion. The dentist really went above and beyond to talk me through it while making sure I was comfortable the entire time. Aside from being a exceptional dentist and staff, I can say that I truly felt valued as a patient there. From the moment I walked in the door any anxiety I previously had was eased and I really felt taken care of. I would Absolutely Recommend and will be returning soon!! Thank You for a wonderful experience and for taking such good care of me. You Guys truly raised the bar and hit the mark completely!. Great Job!. read more

Life Smiles Dental Care - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I've been going to this office for nearly 18 months and haven't written a review yet because, until yesterday, all I've received was regular cleanings and check-ups. I'm one of those people you hear about that get irrationally anxious about dental work. Seriously, it starts a couple days before the appointment. For me, the true test of a dentist is how comfortable I feel during more involved procedures. Yesterday, that was some major work to prep for a bridge for my upper back molars. Dr. Nielsen and his staff are true pros. They listened to my needs and made adjustments to their procedures to accommodate my "special needs". I left in complete awe of how little anxiety I felt during that appointment. As long as I live in Phoenix, this will be my dentist office. read more

Amazing doctor and super gentle! My new favorite doctor! He eased my anxiety so smoothly. I am serious Dr Schmidt's picture should be in all billboards of Phx!! read more

We have been going to this office since 2015 and we are still going, and want to keep going. We couldn't ask for a better Dental Care Office. The Staff at Life Smiles are "Fantastic" and the treatment we get from all of them are "Wonderful" Dr. Neilson has done a "AWESOME" JOB on my teeth as well as my husbands. Dr. Schmidt is "AWESOME "too. We couldn't ask for better Doctors. Maryellen is my Hygienist,she is " Wonderful" her Personality and her Caring for Patient's Are Grand".My husband goes to Kellie, she is the same, "Wonderful", Caring, and she knows her work..And the staff that works with the Dr's are "Great Too" they all know what they are doing and that makes us "Very Happy". In closing we want to send a "BIG THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU AT LIFE SMILES AND KEEP UP THE FANATASTIC WORK". Sincerely The McGavins, Victoria & George: read more

Before moving to California I went to Dr. Nielsen for over a decade (my entire family does) LifeSmiles has a very modern and sleek office. They go above and beyond to ensure you're comfortable. TVs in every room, headphones, blankets. My sister is deathly scared of the dentist and elects to get get nitrous oxide during her visits. She saw Kelli what a sweetheart and knowledgeable professional. read more

Life Smiles Dental Care - My sister is deathly scared of the dentist but LifeSmiles goes above and beyond to ensure she is comfortable. - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Great office! It's so nice inside and the staff is amazing! I love when it's time for my cleanings. I could find somewhere closer to where I live but I make the drive because to me it's worth it. I feel comfortable there and get the best care read more

I've been going to Life Smiles for most of my life. My entire family loves the staff and all of the dental hygienists. Dr. Neilson and Dr. Schmidt are so kind and helpful with any problems that might occur with your teeth. I don't know why going to the dentist has such a bad reputation. I guess I wouldn't know because of how much I love going to Life Smiles. Also the location is wonderful and there are amazing views in each room that relax you before your visit. Everything is very clean and all the dental hygienists and doctors wear facial coverings throughout the day. read more

I absolutely cannot say enough to recommend Life Smiles! I have major dental anxiety and they are very sensitive to that. The front office staff is friendly and kind. Both dentists are amazing and all the dental technicians are too! Seriously, I just appreciate them so much. read more

Omg, I love this office. My original dentist retired and sold his practice to Life Smiles. We loved our original dentist so we were a little skeptical of the new practice. A few months ago I had a terrible tooth ache on a holiday weekend. I called the office not expecting anything but actually got hold of Dr Neilson who was able to get me medication immediately for the pain and also an appointment the next day! I was floored!!! Who can call their dentist office on a weekend and be able to actually talk to the doctor? I can with Life Smiles. I went in to my appointment and Dr Nielsen was able to fix my tooth in his office without having to send me out. It was an amazing experience!! Then a few days later I got a call from the doctor himself following up to make sure I was not in any pain. So, I'm sold on this practice. Everyone is so nice. The office is beautiful, clean, professional and always on time. I meant to write this review after my tooth incident and forgot. Better late than never! read more

I highly recommend this dental office! If you have anxiety like me this is the place to go. The entire staff is kind, gentle, knowledgeable and patient. read more

I was extremely impressed by the service, friendliness, professionalism and explanations by all staff. Dr Neilson was excellent in his examination of my teeth and Maryellen, on of the hygienist, did an outstanding job getting my teeth sparkling. I felt like a VIP with the way they treated me. They explained every single thing from what they were going to do, what was next, etc. I would highly recommend this office. read more

Always an around great experience. Nice location, clean and modern office. The staff always friendly and knowledgeable. read more

I have been fearful of the dentist office since I was a child. I am so very happy to have found Life Smiles dental care! Both Dr. Schmidt and Dr. Nielson are terrific. Mary Ellen has been my hygienist and she is very thorough and gentle. She explains everything before she does it. She also has an absolute pleasing personality. Mari and the rest of the front office staff are great to work with. I have been coming here for a few years. This office really cares about you as a person, and works with you. I feel very fortunate to have found them. read more

Absolutely amazing service! I called on short notice saying my front crown fell out and they got me in within a hour & once I arrived made sure my appointment was fast and courteous with my time! It's so hard to find a good dentist especially in a new state, so thank you so much to Dr Nielson and his team you guys are awesome and I can't wait to come back for cleanings and to get the rest of my cosmetic work finished!(: my teeth and I are very happy! read more

I seriously can't say enough about this Practice. From the moment you walk in you're treated with caring and kindness. The hygienists are amazing, the dentists are great and all of the staff are happy to be there. It was also important to me that the staff are treated well when I was researching a new practice Years ago and they TRULY are. I'd recommend them to ANYONE who's is looking for the best practice in the valley....in my humble opinion. read more

I love my dentist! My wife recommended coming here based on yelp reviews and boy, you guys were right! Thanks yelp and thanks to my wife who is elite. They are so gentle and kind. They don't try to get you to pay for things you don't need. My last dentist did that and after a year, I have had enough. Thanks Life Smiles! read more

Love this place! All the reviews are true! They're so caring, friendly, and take the time to get to know you. They even do a little tour of the office before your first appointment, which is a super cool way to make you feel like less of an outsider.Prices seem standard, and the office is very nice. I love that they also offer a virtual tour of it on their website, which demonstrates their ability to embrace technology. To me, a healthcare professional's desire to stay current on anything is an important factor when picking a provider. read more

At first I was skeptical of the reviews, but finding consistent positive reviews outside of Yelp, I gave it a shot. And I'm so glad I did!! To start, I have some of the worst anxiety when it comes to the dentist and as a result, it had been over 10 years since I had last been seen with one. Walking in, everyone was extremely friendly and personable. My biggest fear was tooth shaming that some dentists do, but I received none of that here which was wonderful. I was originally scheduled with Dr. Nielsen but saw Dr. Schmidt instead. Very wonderful man with gentle hands and will definitely return to him in the future. Hilary was my hygienist as she was thorough with the cleaning and able to get the staining off my teeth. I didn't feel pressured into any additional services, just given options if I wanted to do anything in the future which were items I brought up rather than them trying to sell services to me. Somehow I made it 10 years with only two cavities (plus one filling re-do) and they were able to schedule me two days later (today) to get them fixed. Now that the Novocain has worn off, my teeth or mouth aren't sore at all and my bite feels just like it did before he filled them in. Everything in the office is extremely clean and new. The hygienists and dentist both explained everything they were doing to help ease my anxiety. While initially I had wanted to inquire about some sort of sedation, I never did and never felt too much anxiety once they had started their work. There's also a wonderful view of Phoenix Mountain Preserve, Dreamy Draw, and Camelback to look at to help keep you distracted, too. Seriously cannot believe I'm writing a positive review for a dentist. I've hated it since I was a little kid (there's a great polaroid of me as a toddler with the biggest look of fear in the chair for my first appointment), but now I'm actually looking forward to my 6-month checkup with the team. Even though I'm moving across the valley by that time, I'll keep coming back here for sure. THANK YOU, LIFE SMILES!! read more

Long standing aversion of going to a dentist can now be thrown out the window. Life Smiles Dental Care is on a whole other level in the best way possible. Upon walking in you are greeted by a friendly staff member and then taken on a tour around the office. The office is immaculately clean and modern with all the latest technology. Once you are seated and go through X-Rays you are given a remote to watch any tv program you would like (Old school dentist all around the world are currently cringing, we are smiling). These tv's are then used to show you exactly what is going on in your mouth and how exactly they are going to fix it. The cleaning was the most pain and anxiety free experiences I have had, and now when I picture returning for my next appointment it is not with dread! Great staff, and a defiant recommendation for anyone looking for a friendly, pain-free experience. read more

WOW! This was the best experience I've ever had at a dentist's visit! I'm going to start from the beginning, so you can get a look at my whole experience. First off, scheduling the appointment was really easy. I spoke with Monique (who was super friendly) and she was able to schedule me for an appointment during my first preference. She let me know that I would need to fill out some paperwork on the Life Smiles website, and then I received a confirmation phone call the day before my appointment to confirm the date and time. When I arrived for my appointment, the first thing I noticed was how nice the office is! It's located in the Agua Caliente complex, which is a really beautiful area. I was greeted by Monique and handed in my paperwork to be processed. A quick 5-10 minutes later, I was escorted into the back with Kelly to get my teeth cleaned. Kelly was absolutely fantastic! She was really friendly and did a great job doing my X-rays and cleaning my teeth. One of the coolest things about my experience was getting pictures taken of my teeth. They bring out a heavy duty camera and take high definition pictures of your smile and your teeth in different angles. I moved on to Dr. Paul, who was also great. He completed my standard dental exam quickly, and he showed me the pictures of my teeth on an ipad. It was really cool! Overall, I would highly recommend this office to anyone who's looking for a new dentist. I was in and out in about an hour and 45 minutes for a full exam, and I received EXCELLENT customer service. Keep up the good work, Life Smiles! read more

The best dentist I've ever been to. The office is super nice with big windows in dental rooms.The staff is very friendly and so is dr. Nielsen. He really seems to care about his patients and to listen to them. He was able to save my tooth instead of getting a crown by redoing a bad filling. The hygienists do a great job at assessing your teeth and gums. I would definitely recommend as opposed to some other dentists I've been to. read more

A++ in my book. Excellent Doctor, friendly staff, clean atmosphere, and the best part is that you get to watch TV or music with headphones while you are getting your teeth cleaned. If you do not wish to watch TV or listen to music, you can enjoy the beautiful view of the mountains. Dr. Paul Nielson is fantastic. I have been looking for a new Dentist in the valley, one with TVs in all, and my coworker recommended Life Smiles Dental Care off Tatum and Shea. I went to Dr. Nielson for my six month routine cleaning/check up. Dr. Nielson's staff greeted me and gave me a tour of the very clean, elegantly designed office. After an office tour, I was able to brush my teeth and get ready for my appointment. After brushing, one of the staff members brought me into a room, where she took pictures of my teeth with a digital camera and mirror. After taking a few photos, Dr. Nielson came and introduced himself to me. He examined my teeth (told me I had very straight and white teeth for never having braces) and said that my pictures did not show any cavities! Dr. Nielson was very professional and thanked me for being a new patient. After speaking with Dr. Nielson, one of his staff members brought me into another room where my teeth were going to be cleaned. This room had a flat screen TV in front of the window, where I was able to pick out my favorite TV show before starting. The cleaning lasted about an hour. I felt very refreshed with nice clean, white teeth afterwards. I just love going to the Denist! After the appointment was over, one of the staff members gave me a little package with a card showing my next appointment, along with my new toothbrush, toothpaste, and floss. I have been recommending my friends to Dr. Nielson and they all agree that his office is truly impeccable. If you want the best customer service and great results, you have to go here. Dr. Nielson is truly the best Dentist the Valley. Thank you Dr. Nielson and staff and see you soon! -Kerry Tealdi read more

Im not a fan of going to the dentist office. I just never liked sitting in a dentist chair and let people poke at my gums and teeth. But when you enter Life Smiles Dental Care you are greeted by a friendly staff and all smiles. They make you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in until the time you leave. I usually get my teeth cleaned by Maryellen the dental hygienist. She makes you feel very comfortable throughout the cleaning process. She's very thorough, and you can tell she loves what she does. And they have some great views of the mountains from the dental chair. My dentist, Dr. Nielson is very friendly and very attentive to you, your teeth and your needs. I would definately recommend Life Smiles Dental to anyone who reads this thread. read more

Fantastic! First visit with Dr. Nielson and not only was it the most comfortable experience, his work is top notch! Came in needing two front teeth crowns and 4 cavities filled and I never felt an ounce of pain, and have received so many compliments on his work! I will be back! read more

Dr. Nielson is very thorough and open-minded. He will work with you to get a final result that you are happy with. So why am I not rating him a 5.0? Because if you have many appointments you will find this is a very controlling office and dentist. You will probably never experience this for a checkup every six months or replacing a filling, etc. However if you have many appointments this office will wear on you. Let me tell you specifics. On my first day the form I had to fill out required my birthdate and social security number. (Isn't this office aware of identity theft and that doctors and dentists no longer ask for this?) I left the items blank and his office manager then proceeded to harass me about it that day and for the next few visits. Is it her or Nielson who is the control freak? Maybe it is both of them. She could not explain to me why the SS# is needed, only that "this is policy." Well it is my policy to not give out the SS# and the federal government suggests all of us to do the same. There are problems with appointments. He is in only three days a week (M, Tu, and Wed). If you need many appointments this causes your work to stretch out over months, not just weeks. I commend him for having some evening appointments on those three days but personally, I would rather be doing other things at 9:00 pm than having my teeth whittled away. And how good is he after working 16 hour days??? So it is honestly a mixed bag. A skilled dentist who is personable but an environment that requires you to comply with its must-haves, not what you want to do or what is convenient for you. read more

I always feel uneasy at the dentist, but Life Smiles felt comfortable. The staff was friendly. The women at the front desk were extremely helpful & set a warm tone for the visit. The dentist & dental assistant truly cared & wanted to help in the best possible way. I didn't feel judged which I've experienced at other offices. & they gave me a great reference for oral surgery. Plus I love that it's on the second floor building with a window, where some offices have made me feel trapped & anxious. I love this place! read more

Love this place! Dentists may not be your favorite but Kelli the hygienist was fabulous, Dr was nice and the visit was actually pleasant! I look forward to the next visit read more

The staff at Life Smiles are always very professional and on-time. The hygenist is excellent (Maryellen) and Dr. Nielson has been very thorough in his exams. I have nothing but good things to say about this dentist practice. I was extremely tired of having dentist practices turnover and doctors change, annually it seemed. Finally I have found a practice with stability and excellent service. Keep up the good work! read more

I went to Life Smiles for a gum complaint (they made time and took me in the next day) and had my cleaning today. I had found them on yelp and they had great reviews. I have to say they are great. The staff is very friendly and amicable to make you feel comfortable. I have had some serious dental issues in the past and the entire staff was sensitive to my needs. Dr. Schmidt was very through and empathetic to my serious past dental issues. Jackie my dental hygienist was very sweet, very professional and did a great thorough cleaning of my teeth. The entire staff was happy, positive, polite and upbeat. I will be going back for some minor dental work and will stay with them from now on. read more
