Rod W Gore, DDS

I want to take a quick moment and thank Dr. Gore and his team. For many years I have suffered from extreme anxiety regarding dental visits of any kind. I started to see Dr. Gore based on a referral from a friend, as well as the fact they offer sedation therapy. I really cannot express how thankful I am for Dr. Gore and team. They are professionals in every way and they go above and beyond to make sure your experience is pain free and comfortable. I am glad to say that I no longer feel the need for sedation and I do not have any anxiety whatsoever when i think of the dentist. They are amazing, plain and simple.

Words cannot justly explain how happy I am that I chose Dr. Gore to do my gum contouring that I have been wanting for many, many years. From the very beginning to the actual procedure has been amazing. I inquired on their website and within a few hours had an email from Kristi, who is incredibly nice and eager to help you. Setting up an appointment with her was very easy. Once I arrived at my appointment, she warmly welcomed me and helped get me ready for Dr. Gore. Dr. Gore is incredibly professional and at the same time very friendly. I quickly felt comfortable there, as if I were a long time patient. I had concerns that he would try to get me to do more than what I wanted to, as some cosmetic doctors in general tend to do, but he was not like that at all. After my free consultation, I immediately scheduled to have gum contouring done on 7 teeth. Today I just had my procedure and I am absolutely thrilled with the results! He and his assistant explained everything very well and constantly checked to see if I was doing okay. He is very attentive to his work and made sure to make my gum line was even. I have a follow up appointment next week to see how it is healing and if there are any adjustments that need to be made. I was able to have my appointment this morning and come directly to work without any discomfort or pain at all (although I have a high pain tolerance).
If you are considering any cosmetic dentistry done. YOU HAVE TO come visit Dr. Gore! If I could give him and his staff more than 5 stars, I would!

I have always had a problem going to the DDS. Actually I dread it. Jusy had a crown installed by Dr Gore and assistant Tricia.
Glad it is over but if I need another one I would have this team do it again.

Fantastic service! Professional, high-​tech, efficient service!

Just moved from CT and chose Dr. Gore as my new dentist. I had a thorough exam done with the hygienist. She tooks x-​rays, checked for mouth cancer, checked my lymph nodes and checked my gums. She then did a very gentle cleaning. She was very sweet and respectful of my wishes. Dr. Gore came in to rebiew my exam and he was also very thorough. He also removed my invisialign bonding. Over-​all a great experience. Office is super clean and seems to have the latest technology.

I have been coming to Dr. Gore as a referral from another physician for over a year. Dr. Gore is the best dentist I have been to in Scottsdale. The entire staff is is kind, caring, and always on time. This office goes above and beyond for every patients and I have sent many people who also are very pleased with the office. If you need an excellent dentist, with a kind and gentle staff, with a state of the art office and exam room this is the office to visit.

It’s unfortunate that I have to write a negative review but this is the truth of what happened so I think in the spirit of transparency and the right for good folks to be forewarned I’m putting this up. I did veneers with Dr. Gore and the result was poor. He charges top dollar but does not stand by his work. My veneer fell out and became darkened due to improper cementing. He used what can only be characterized as an outdated technique i, e, complete removal of my original tooth prior to placing the veneer. I’ve been examined by an excellent dentist (USC trained) whom I trust and she expects that I’ll continue to have issues with these veneers including possible root canals in the future all because Dr. Gore took short cuts. I cannot endorse or recommend this doctor. Good luck and choose your doctors very carefully. I thought that I had done my research but I was very wrong!

I was a patient of Dr. Gore’s back in the early 90’s and then moved to CA for a few years. Since returning, I live in the South Valley and so had been going to a dentist near home. My wife and I recently built a home and so we took the opportunity to find a new family practice. After my first visit to this office, I was having discomfort after having a filling re-​done. After a return visit and a few months of no relief, I needed an answer. I knew it was very likely that Dr. Gore would be able to help and I was not disappointed.
The office is very well kept and upscale. The staff are incredibly attentive, nice and caring. I note that these 3 are not the same thing. They are informed on all matters from scheduling to insurance. They put their patients at ease with their very down to earth demeanor and desire to make every experience as comfortable as possible. There is no pressure or attempt to sell you services that are not necessary. It’s all about what you as the patient want and need.
When Dr. Gore came in to diagnose my issue, he listened to my story and explanation of what was going on. Upon examining thoroughly (something I did not get at my previous dentist), he was able to diagnose the issue. This is because he took the time to do a great job and understood my needs. Beyond that, Dr. Gore explained what was causing my issue and how it could be treated. It was a no-​brainer, I scheduled the procedure to be done and I have no doubt that it will be as good as new. I note that Dr. Gore is not on my current dental coverage, but I wouldn’t think twice. He and his team are worth every penny. I’ll be switching over to a plan that allows me to visit Dr. Gore for all of my needs.
The only reason I gave 5 stars was because there weren’t 6. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Gore for any of your dental needs, hands down!
