Serene Dental

I found Serene Dental by accident since I lived literally around the corner.
Immediately, I knew I would fall in love with this woman owned and operated dental clinic.
The office is comfortable and inviting and Dr. Hangalay is extremely gentle, knowledgeable and friendly. Griselda, the office manager, is also super sweet and the dental assistant is the most adorable person you will meet!
All this is great in terms of making me feel comfortable but what really sticks out is the way that I do not feel like I am being taken advantage of. I feel like Dr. Hangalay really cares and wants to provide me with only what I need and not to over charge me for extra services that I may not need. In fact, the first visit I had was an out of pocket visit. She cleaned my teeth and filled my cavity at an extremely low price. I remember paying just over a couple hundred dollars (4 years ago).
Currently, I am getting a night guard for my night grinding and I’ve come back into the office for readjustment due to an uncomfortable fit. She finally took a bite impression and a mold for my bottom jaw in addition to the top she previously did. I am confident that I will eventually get the correct guard for my mouth and prevent the erosion of my enamel and cracking of my teeth.
She is doing this all at no cost to me and I feel like she is going above and beyond to ensure that my initial investment is worth it to me and my dental health.
Thanks ladies!

Amazing! I was new to the Phoenix area and needed to find a new dentist. I went to them based off of their location and ratings on Unilocal and can say I am glad I did! Amazing customer service, friendly staff, and they do not try to nickel and dime you.

Super friendly and orgaized! Great staff who are very accomodating.

I had a bad tooth ache today and I have a major fear of the dentist. I found Serene on Unilocal and the name alone made me hope for a serene experience. When I called the greeting I got was so friendly and they were able to get me in right away. The office was easy to find and there was plenty of parking. The office was modern, clean, and relaxing. Dr. Hangalay was Awesome! She explained to me everything I needed to know as to why I was in pain. She gave me useful tips and a plan of action all while working around my fear of the dentist. I look forward to going back!

Been here a few times already and each visit has been pleasant. And from someone that hates going to the dentist, that’s saying a lot. Dr. Hangalay is the best. She is very professional, but also very friendly and down to earth, which is why I recommend her. Her staff is also amazing, and make my visits very comfortable. Thank you so much Serene Dental. I appreciate it.

I can’t quite recall how I found out about Dr. Hangalay but I am so glad I did! She is an amazing dentist. I had some dental work done (crowns and root canals) that were not done correctly. When I came in to see her I felt confident in her ability to fix everything. Three years later, the work is flawless and I have had no issues. Today I went in for a long overdue checkup and Dr. Hangalay remembered me. I always appreciate when a doctor does that because it means they care. Although I had some issues with my teeth that were less than ideal, she went over everything thoroughly, talked me through the x-​ray images and photos so I understood the problems. I never feel that she suggests unnecessary treatments. Also, I think Dr. Hangalay has a wonderful personality – she comes across as a very strong and confident woman and has done well to build up her dental business. She truly cares about her clients and puts a lot of time into the appointments. Instead of a hygienist cleaning my teeth, she does it herself and I feel that she really gets to know what is going on with my teeth because of that. Also, Griselda at the front desk is a true professional. She is exemplifies excellent customer service. She called my insurance company to see how much everything would cost before I even asked her to do so. She is very polite and upbeat and obviously knows what she is doing. It’s so wonderful to be able to relax and let capable people take care of you. I honestly don’t know if this review can do enough justice in portraying just how great everyone at Serene Dental truly is. If you are looking for a new dentist and want a positive experience with an excellent dentist who is also down to earth, please book an appointment with Dr. Hangalay,

DO NOT go to these guys. Completely unprofessional, they quoted me one cost and when it came time to do the procedure, they said it would be a $ 1000 more… now I have to start all over looking for someone. They really screwed me and I would never work with them, BEWARE! Griselda at the front desk did all of this and was rude about it to top it all off. I would go elsewhere…

I’m new to the Phoenix area and checked out Unilocal and very glad I did. Had a dental emergency and Dr. Hangalay and her staff were very kind, courteous and professional. Would highly recommend Dr. H to anyone looking for a great dentist.

I used to go to Weldon Dental on 3^rd st but after the location was sold to anotehr dentist they wouldn’t accept my insurance I was glad because the dentist was a joke! So rude and I felt like he was always rushing me out the door.
Dr. Hangalay is an amazing dentist! She is so caring and genuinely wants to help. If you are terrified to go to the dentist go to her she will make you feel comfortable and worry free. Give her a chance and she won’t disappoint you.

This dental office is so bright and inviting to begin with, and the staff is always great. They are very personable on all levels. I started there when Mona worked the front desk, and she was great, and every lady since has also been so friendly and helpful. Courtney, the dental assistant, does a great job at what she does, and I really like Dr. Hangalay. She is friendly, professional, and a hard worker. She is honest, and I never feel like anyone is trying to rip me off or make me get things I don’t need or charging too much. My insurance benefits are always checked prior to service and they are very upfront, to make sure that the work will be in my price range. One time I had to make an appt while Dr. Hangalay was on vacation, and she had another dentist in her place. He was nice, but the work he did hurt a lot! I guess that’s dental work for ya… more than anything, it made me realize how good of a job that Dr. H does, because I’m never really in pain, and I know what to expect at every moment. Definitely would recommend this place to others! (This coming from someone who needed a Lot of work!!)
Thanks all!

Groupon had a great deal for tooth whitening at Serene Dental that I had to try. I’ve always been curious about proffesional tooth whitening. When I called to set up my appointment, I was asked when the last time I’d had my teeth cleaned. It has been several years so they recommended I get my teeth cleaned first. I arrived at my appointment and the office was really calm and beautiful and smelled great. Included in my teeth cleaning fee were 4 x-​rays. Then Dr. Hangalay came in to clean my teeth. She was proffesional and had great bed side manner. She communicated with me the whole time. She found several small cavities in my teeth and let me know that they have a dental plan that might be able to cut the price on the service, The cleaning took about a half hour. Then Courtney came in to do my teeth whitening. She put some glasses on me and this weird mouth guard thingy that kept my mouth open. Then she applied some kind of gel to my teeth and used a laser light thingy on them., Then she applied some other kind of gel or liquid with a small dropper. That had to sit on my teeth for 20 minutes for each coat. Dr. Hangalay over saw this application and applied the second and third coat herself. The whitening took about a hour. One of my teeth became really sensitive after the tooth whitening, it was soo painful. I am lucky that none of my other teeth felt that way. I am happy with the result, my teeth are noticeably whiter. I will be returning to Serene dental to get my cavities filled and also for future cleanings and treatments.

I have been seeing Dr. Hangalay for many months now and every experience has been the highest level of quality, professionalism and care. The doctor’s attention to detail and common sense approach to dentistry are something special. In addition, the staff is also very professional and friendly. I would recommend her practice to everyone.

Dr. Hangalay is the most professional dentist I’ve met here in Phoenix (and I’ve been to 3!). She really knows how to communicate with the patient! Her no-​pain procedures are amazing. She is a wonderful professional and I will not be going anywhere else for dental work.
