There are many dentists in the Valley of the Sun, but we think Dr. John P. Dougherty is the best dentist in Phoenix — along with Dr. Adhikari, of course. Dr. Dougherty has been practicing dentistry for more than two decades, but it’s not just his years of experience that set him apart, it’s his dedication to educating his patients, himself and the Artistic Dental team to always offer the best options and treatments available. Launching his private practice, Artistic Dental at the Biltmore in 2000, Dr. Dougherty provides comprehensive dental care, taking an integrative approach in treating patients from children to seniors.
If you read what our patients have to say , you will learn quite a bit, but here are 5 reasons we think Dr. D is the best dentist in Phoenix:
- He believes in treating patients as he would want his own family members to be treated.- As a husband and father, family means a lot to Dr. Dougherty As a dentist, it is important to have our patients feel welcome and as comfortable as possible. An important part of making patients comfortable is explaining their options clearly and what a treatment entails.. When you come into the office, he wants patients to feel at home and leave knowing they were well cared for.
- He gives back to the community – Dr. Dougherty’s passion for dentistry doesn’t stop with his daily work in the office, he is extremely involved in the world of dentistry. Dougherty is a member of Central Arizona Dental Society, American Dental Association, Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation, International Orthodontics Association, and the Arizona State Dental Association. He also donates his time and expertise to help patients from Saint Vincent de Paul and Veterans of Foreign Wars. In 2015, he was recognized as a Health Care Hero finalist by the Phoenix Business Journal.
- He’s committed to continued education – Dougherty is a lifelong learner that believes in continuing to develop his skills and knowledge and that of our team to allow Artistic Dental to deliver the best care and services to our patients. In 2012, Dr. Dougherty’s commitment to education was recognized after completing 1,100 hours of continued study earning him a Mastership Award from the Academy of General Dentistry, the highest honor and one of the most respected designations within the dental profession. It doesn’t stop there. He continues to attend dental workshops and classes to learn new techniques and also sends our staff at least once a year.
- He’s an early adopter – Dr. D’s commitment to learning extends to staying current on the latest tools and technologies. He is often one of the first to adopt and utilize new technology for treating patients such as the Solea laser for fillings and CEREC for in-office crowns.
- He cares – Dr. Dougherty takes time to talk with patients, learn their concerns and educate them on their options. Artistic Dental is one of few existing private dental practices that is locally owned and operated – many dental offices are now corporately owned and more concerned with how many patients they can see in a day then learning more about the patient and their needs.
