Crown restoration is a process in modern dentistry that is used to cover worn down, fractured or otherwise damaged teeth. They are also commonly used to cover teeth that have had a root canal. In addition they can be used to strengthen teeth and used to improve appearance, shape or alignment of a patient's teeth.

Dr U and Dr Persky and their staff are terrific. It’s a busy office but they each made me feel like I had their full attention. After decades of substandard dental care in another state, I’m so glad to have a clear plan to repair the damage and maintain a healthy mouth!
I was pleased that they were so clear, upfront and professional. 5 stars. Would recommend!

I've been a patient with Gentle Smiles for close to a year now, and have received several procedures (fillings, crowns, most recently a tooth extraction, but haven't gone back in for a cleaning yet) and have been incredibly impressed with each procedure I've gotten. I've had some awful dental experiences, especially with some dentists who aren't transparent or direct, and the degree of professional respect that the staff gives in explaining procedures or the implications of what they're doing makes all the difference. On top of that, for my tooth extraction, they were able to remove a tooth that

I did my research before choosing a dentist. This clinic had mostly good reviews, the dentists had degrees from reputable schools and they had no history of complaints at the AZ State Board. During my visit as a first-time patient, I was treated well and everyone was friendly. Although I don't have great teeth, I was still surprised when they presented me with a long treatment plan, totalling several thousand dollars of dental work. This included 2 crowns, several cavities, a deep cleaning and the announcement that I absolutely needed to have my teeth cleaned every 3 months for the rest of my life

I decided to visit Gentle Smiles because I was having trouble finding early morning appointments for cleaning at my regular dentist. What a great experience! The vibe at Gentle Smiles is professional but also quite chill. There was almost no wait time, which was great. I had my teeth cleaned in a room which included a view of an atrium with a cute little goldfish pond. (I was actually surprised at how calm this made me feel). Dr. U and staff were absolutely terrific. They made me feel comfortable and welcome. My cleaning was thorough and painless. Afterward, my treatment plan was explained in detail

The only dentist here (Elizabeth Persky) a scam artist. She puts the shadiest used car dealers to shame. Please check my other reviews to see that I'm not a Karen.
I'm 33 years old and have only ever had 2 cavities. I brush and floss every day. I go to the dentist regularly before covid but I went here for the first time before covid and it felt like they were up selling me but I just assumed it was because I was a new patient. It left such a bad impression that I didn't go back to the dentist for about a year (also covid) and I decided to give her another chance. Partly because I think people

I would highly recommend Gentle Smiles Dentistry. From the moment I entered their doors, I felt welcomed. The office staff is very efficient and personable. The dental team knew exactly how to work with my issues of anxiety with dental services. Dr Uvaydov is very kind, patient, and especially knowledgable in her field. She is an advocate for her patients when making dental decisions. I just love the entire team! If you have been putting off taking care of your dental needs due to anxiety, wait no longer. Come meet the team and start your journey to dental health and wellness!

After checking some of the review sites including through my dental insurance, I found Dr. Persky's practice one of the highest rated and decided to give them a try.
I'm glad I did because all the high star reviews were true.
Dr. Persky and Dr. Uvaydov are the best dental professionals I've been lucky enough to have come across.
Dr. Persky has created a very well thought out and kind hearted practice.
Dr. Uvaydov did most of my work and was very considerate of my comfort during all the procedures and deeply professional.
I've let my teeth go quite a bit over the years and I was immediately

On my 6th day in a new town after moving crosscountry, a tooth that I had work done on before I moved abscessed. Dr. Persky agreed to see me on a Sunday. When I came in a few days later after being on antibiotics to have my root canal, she and her staff were nothing but amazing to me. I am an extremely nervous dental patient and the everyone, incl… uding the front desk (whom I forgot to get her name) were calming, understanding, and gentle with me. Dr. Persky and Olivia explained everything to me as we went along with the procedure. My root canal was successful and pain free. It was not

Janna is an amazing receptionist, she makes you feel comfortable and welcome before you ever set foot in the office. The atmosphere of the office is pleasant and sets you at ease. I am a coward when it comes to the dentist, Dr. Persky and her staff deal with my fears in a professional and respectful manner. Dr. Persky is truly the best dentist you could ask for.

After fairly recently moving here, I had some bad luck with a dentist. Dr. Persky at Gentle Smiles came highly recommended by a friend of mine. She was spot on. I had an emergency appointment that Dr. Persky didn’t hesitate to come in for on a holiday weekend. She was welcoming, professional, beyond reassuring, and truly wanted to help me. Dr.… Persky explained exactly what she was doing and why. She made sure I understood what needing a root canal meant in a very non-scary and reassuring way. She made me feel at ease (considering the amount of pain I was in) about the whole process

When my previous dentist for almost 30 years retired this year I switched to Gentle Smiles. I admit I was nervous about it at first but now I could not be happier. Dr. Persky Is a terrific dentist and really… nice person. Completing the package is a great staff, genuinely friendly, caring and competent. Also I have never had a issue with appointments or billing. I wholeheartedly recommend Gentle Smiles.
