For more than three decades, Mountain View Family Dental has been the practice East Valley families come back to — generation after generation. Every cleaning, every crown, every quiet conversation with a nervous patient is handled by people who plan to be here next year, and the year after.
Orthodontics, root canals, implants, wisdom teeth, sedation — handled in this building by dentists who know your name. Whoever you see, you're in the same hands.
The dentist patients most often name in their reviews — known for unhurried consults, honest options, and after-hours calls when something goes wrong.
Family and restorative dentistry — adults, teens, and children in the same chair, same week.
Cosmetic and reconstructive work — porcelain veneers, crowns, and full-mouth rebuilds that look like teeth, not work.
General and family practice with a steady hand for nervous patients and first-time visitors.
General dentistry across the full family schedule — from first cleanings to senior care.
Restorative dentistry and same-day CEREC crowns — the kind of work that used to mean two appointments.
General and family dentistry — patient, thorough, and good with kids who'd rather be anywhere else.
General dentistry and oral appliances — sleep apnea devices, grinding guards, and quiet-mouth solutions.
Patients tell us the moment they walk in, the dread softens. Warm light, quiet rooms, real coffee in the waiting area, and — if you'd like — Pepper, our comfort dog, beside the chair while you're worked on.
Plan a first visit
Most of what makes a dental visit feel calm has nothing to do with the chair. It's the call you make, the person at the desk, the hygienist who remembers your kids. These four hold the whole experience together.
Runs the practice day to day — scheduling, insurance coordination, and the quiet operational work that makes everything else look effortless.
The first voice on the phone and the last word on what's covered. Walks every patient through estimates, insurance, and payment plans before any work begins.
B.S. in Dental Hygiene, University of Louisville. Patients ask for Sunshine by name in their reviews — careful, patient, and refreshingly honest about home-care habits.
With the practice since 2016. Joanna sits beside you for most procedures — handing the right instrument before it's asked for, and explaining what comes next when you'd rather not look.
If you'd like company during your appointment, you may request that Pepper, our friendly comfort dog, sit beside you in the chair. It's a small thing that turns out not to be small at all.
"This place is amazing. I usually see Dr. Guffey and he is so kind — he does whatever he can to make sure I'm getting the care I need. I have also seen other dentists in the office and they are all great. If you're looking for a great dental office with staff that cares and listens to your concerns, I would definitely go here."
"Dr. Guffey and Sunshine are amazing. They make me feel happy every time I come here. They are the best!"
"I found everyone to be very friendly — like I'd been using them as my dentist for years. Local and family oriented. Carleen was very informative and kind."
Saturday and early-morning appointments available. In-network with Cigna and Aetna. We'll take care of the rest.
