"I would give 10 stars if possible. I have always been the biggest chicken when it comes to dentists. I have had such bad experiences. Thanks to the reviews on yelp I found Dr. McAdams. All I can say is WOW! This was the best experience from the appointment process to the actual visit itself. - Luna O. (via YELP)
Meet Don McAdams, DDS, PE
Dr. McAdams grew up in Fairbanks, Alaska where he learned to appreciate the outdoors and honed his skills as a fly fisherman. Following his love of all things outdoors to the mountains of Bozeman, Montana, he pursued his engineering degree at Montana State University and graduated in 2001. Don practiced engineering, and worked to build roads and runways in Phoenix, Arizona until he met Jaime (our wonderful dental hygienist) who became Don's wife and then inspired him to pursue the career change that lead him to become one of the most popular dental providers in Arizona.
Dental school lead Don and Jaime to relocate to San Francisco, CA where he attended the prestigious Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry at the University of the Pacific and honed his skills as a dental practitioner so that he could return to Phoenix and start McAdams Dental. After returning to Arizona, Don and Jaime have worked to build our dream dental practice and we are proud of the family setting that we have established at our practice. "Dr. Don" is proud to help keep Arizona smiling, and he enjoys working with his fantastic team of dental professionals.
Since starting his practice in 2011, Dr. McAdams has pursued extensive continuing education training including a 300 hour mini residency in dental implant training called the AAID Maxicourse. After this advanced training and an extensive examination, Dr. McAdams became a credentialed member of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry.
More recently, Dr. McAdams became a member of the International Academy of Facial Aesthetics where he studies the use of BOTOX and Dermal Fillers to improve the outcomes of his beautiful cosmetic dental treatment. Ask him about this new service he is offering!
Dr. McAdams stays active in professional organizations to keep up on the latest trends in dentistry. His current and past memberships include:
In 2015 we joined forces with Dr. Michael Gibbons to create McAdams Dental and Scottsdale Prosthodontists and we are happy to say we have actually created our dream practice. We are excited to show it to you soon!

"Seems funny to rate a dental visit as "loved it" but that describes the visit perfectly! Dr. McAdams uses the latest techniques and equipment to make your visit pain-free while delivering fantastic results. The office staff is equally as professional and pleasant. I look forward to my next visit!" - Kathy C. (via Google)
