Communities served

Smile Arizona Dentistry serves patients from:

• Scottsdale (primary location)
• Tempe
• Mesa
• Phoenix
• Nearby communities in the greater Phoenix area

• Alma TED is an ultrasonic device that uses acoustic sound waves and air pressure to drive a topical hair care formula containing peptides and growth-supporting ingredients into the scalp.
• The treatment is designed to improve scalp health, increase blood flow, and support thicker, healthier, and more voluminous hair.
• It is a non-surgical, non-invasive treatment intended for both men and women.

What to expect during treatment

• Before treatment, the hair and scalp are evaluated to assess density and scalp health in areas such as the front, back, and sides of the head.
• The Alma TED handpiece is applied to the targeted areas of the scalp.
• Patients typically experience a warm, vibrating sensation during treatment.
• A typical session takes approximately 20 to 45 minutes and does not require downtime.

Conditions it may address

Examples of hair loss conditions mentioned on the website include:

• Male and female pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia)
• Certain non-scarring alopecia conditions such as telogen effluvium, alopecia areata, and trichotillomania

Whether Alma TED is appropriate depends on the individual's diagnosis and scalp condition.

Benefits highlighted on the website

• Non-invasive and pain-free
• Helps stimulate and strengthen hair
• Supports healthier, thicker, and longer hair
• No needles or lasers; relies on acoustic sound waves and air pressure
• No downtime after treatment

Patients should contact Smile Arizona Dentistry directly to discuss whether Alma TED is suitable for their specific type of hair loss, how many sessions may be recommended, and current pricing.

Botox and related injectable treatments are used for both cosmetic and dental-related concerns, including:

• Gummy smile (to reduce excessive gum display when smiling)
• Bruxism (teeth grinding)
• TMJ-related muscle tension and associated discomfort
• Lip and facial aging lines (fine lines and wrinkles)
• Impacted or less confident smile due to exposed gums, aging lines, or TMJ/bruxism-related issues
• Lip flip treatments to create a slightly fuller upper lip appearance

These treatments can help relax targeted muscles to improve comfort and appearance.

Dermal fillers and facial esthetic procedures

Additional facial esthetic options include:

• Dermal fillers to restore fullness and volume around areas such as the cheeks, lips, and mouth
• PDO threads made of polydioxanone to tighten sagging skin and stimulate collagen production
• Smooth cosmetic threads placed where skin needs improvement or smoothing
• Lifting threads to address sagging skin and lines around the nasolabial folds and jowls

Provider experience

• Facial esthetic services are provided by Dr. Beth Vander Schaaf, who has been a trained member of the American Academy of Facial Esthetics (AAFE) for over a decade.
• Treatments are non-surgical and minimally invasive, and are typically completed in short appointments (often 30 minutes or less, depending on the area treated).

Patients should contact the office directly to discuss candidacy, risks, pricing, and how these treatments can be integrated with their overall dental and smile goals.

• Price: $299
• Includes:
• Full digital X-ray series

Types of sedation offered

• Oral sedation

When sedation may be used

Sedation can be used, when appropriate, for:

• Minor or major oral surgery, including teeth extractions with or without implant placement
• Third molar (wisdom tooth) extractions
• Cosmetic dental treatments such as dental implants, dentures, and crowns and bridges
• Dental hygiene visits (cleanings) for patients with significant anxiety
• Other necessary dental care when anxiety or medical considerations make sedation helpful

The exact options suitable for a specific patient are determined by the treating providers based on the patient's health history and treatment plan.

Patients should contact the office directly to discuss whether sedation is appropriate for their situation and to learn more about preparation and any additional fees.
