Rockside Dental

Had my first appointment (new patient) this morning and it was great! Everyone at the office was really nice and helpful. They use digital xrays so there’s less radiation (but they have a gown for you to wear of course). The office was really clean and had a kids table with toys and books. The cleaning/​exam rooms all face huge windows with a pretty green area outside, plus there are televisions and headphones you can use while your teeth are cleaned if you want. They also use the screens to show you the xrays of your teeth, and pictures of before and after cleaning so you can see the difference. The bathroom was really clean too, with lotion and spare toothbrushes by the door (I guess if you forget to brush before your appointment)?
What stood out most to me was the level of customer service. Everyone seemed genuinely friendly, but not in an overwhelming way. My hygienist explained everything that was going to happen ahead of time, and checked on the cost of procedures for me without my having to ask. I felt like the dentist also took his time with me; he didn’t seem like he was in a rush to move to the next patient. They had a new patient special going on which was a great discount, and for those without insurance they have a plan you can join that gives you good discounts too. They were great at explaining everything, and were really helpful in trying to keep the cost manageable. The receptionist was knowledgeable and explained the discount program well. When I left, she gave me a gift bag with the normal toothbrush/​toothpaste/​floss, plus a nice cup with their logo. Glad to have found a great dentist in Tucson!

I had my first appointment today. Great staff, very beautiful location and a great cleaning. They have all the latest dentisty tools as well.

Great staff, including my dental hygienist Nicole! I’ve always disliked going to the dentist (mainly due to my sensitive gums) until I switched over to Rockside Dental. During my cleanings, Nicole does a nice job in keeping the potential pain to a very low threshold. Plus, being able to watch TV during the entire appointment is the best bonus! Aside from cleanings, I’ve had fillings fixed; Dr. Slivka and Nicole completed the procedure gently and efficiently.

Staff is very friendly and informative. They answered my questions thoroughly. Nicole does a great cleaning! Not sure how they are in terms of pricing– my insurance covers routine cleanings, X-​rays, etc. The office is very classy! Dr. Slivka took the time to get to know me and my dental history and thoroughly examine my teeth before moving on to his next client. I’ve been to places before where you only see the dentist for a minute! I noticed that the front desk gal knew the clients coming in by name. She gave me, other customers and customers on the phone her full attention and was thorough and friendly with everyone.

Wow! What a beautiful office. The staff were very nice and friendly. State of the art equipment and knowledgable. My hygienist, Nicole, was very good and explained every step. Dr Matt was very thorough and made suggestions for treatment other than just general maintenance. They don’t try to talk you into anything. I would definitely recommend this dental practice.

Great dentist! Dr. Slivka and his staff are courteous, friendly and eager to please. His facilities are high tech and he does excellent work.

I just recently moved back to Tucson from San Diego and was referred by a friend to see Dr. Slivka. I am so happy that we took her advice! I set appointments for my husband and our three year old son. This was our son’s 1^st dentist visit. The staff was very friendly and made us feel very welcomed. Dr. Slivka even came out to introduce himself to my son and I as we were waiting for my husband while he was getting his teeth clean. My son is very high energy and the Dr. came out to loan his notebook so that he could play games. When it came time for my son… the hygienist Ann and Dr. Slivka sat with him showing and explaining every tool and procedure. My son sat through his whole appointment because of the care they showed him. I will recommend to everyone… especially those that have kids. Thank you and Kudos to Rockside Dental!
