Our philosophy

We’re not your average dentists.

Dr. Raiffe, Dr. Siegel, and the team aren’t what you’d consider typical dentists. We take a bold, whole-body approach to dental care that considers the bigger picture — not only improving your smile, but also your overall wellbeing.

With a practical, preventive philosophy, we make visiting the dentist more meaningful. Every appointment is built around education, collaboration, and the conservative-first instinct of doing only what your mouth truly needs.

If you feel inspired to schedule an appointment, we’ll be happy to welcome you into our dental family.

What sets us apart

Four pillars of how we practice.

01 — Holistic

IAOMT-Accredited, science-based dentistry.

Dr. Raiffe is accredited with the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology. He’s one of only two dentists with this distinction in the Phoenix Valley — a big-picture clinician with a holistic background who aims to give patients the knowledge to thrive.

02 — Technology

Leading-edge tools, gentler visits.

Digital impressions, an in-house CEREC mill for same-day restorations, a cone beam CT scanner, the Wand single-tooth anesthesia device, and Dr. Raiffe’s SMART certification for safe mercury filling removal — all to streamline visits and raise the floor on quality.

03 — Tenure

Serving Scottsdale for over 30 years.

For three decades, our office has cared for families in the local area and beyond. We’re grateful to play a role in keeping you, your neighbors, and your loved ones’ smiles healthy — and we’re planning on many more decades to come.

04 — Comprehensive

A multi-dentist practice, under one roof.

Our team includes both general and specialty dentists with years of experience. From start-to-finish dental implants to customized sleep apnea treatment, you can trust we’ll almost always be able to help — with same-day emergency care for those in pain.

Shona
Dental Hygienist

Patients consistently call her out by name — thorough, gentle, and the reason a lot of folks here look forward to their cleanings rather than dread them.

Plus a full hygiene and front-office team.

Sandy, Alissa, and the rest of our hygienists and patient coordinators handle scheduling, insurance, financing, and the dozens of small touchpoints that make a visit feel like care rather than a transaction.

What we believe

A practice built around the way we’d want to be treated.

Conservative first.

Watchful waiting and remineralization where they fit. We don’t drill if we don’t have to — full stop.

Educational, not transactional.

You leave understanding what’s happening in your mouth and why each option exists, not holding a stack of paperwork.

Whole-body aware.

Sleep, airway, posture, and mercury exposure all live alongside cavities and crowns on our intake — because they all live in the same body.

Same team, every visit.

We’ve been here for over 30 years and most of our team has been with us a long time. You see familiar faces.

In patients’ words

Why patients keep coming back.

Three recent reviews, pulled directly from Google.

“We had a fantastic experience at Shea Dental. My daughter had a small cavity, and instead of immediately drilling and filling it, Dr. Kristen Graham recommended remineralization strips. It worked — the cavity healed without the need for any drilling.”

“After 40 years my dentist retired. Dr Kristen, Alissa her hygienist, and the entire office staff were so pleasant. I love that she is a Biodentist. They are thorough, spent a lot of time explaining everything, and have the latest technology. If I could I would give 10 stars!”

“Staff is kind and smiles. Dr Raiffe is energetic, educates about processes and is very encouraging. I sought ozone dentistry for a multitude of reasons and I am so glad to have found Dr Raiffe and all his staff. Yay for a Mercury-free mouth!”
