Scottsdale Dentist Ranked Among Arizona’s Best Doctors 2026

We’re proud to share that Dr. Kris Alpers, owner of Alpers Family and Cosmetic Dentistry in Scottsdale, has been named one of Arizona’s Best Doctors for 2026 by AZ Big Media. This was recently published in AZ Business Magazine, and you can see the full list here.

This recognition means a lot. Not just because it puts our practice on a list alongside some of the most respected doctors in the state, but because it reflects how we show up for our patients every day. 

At our core, we believe that the best dental care is personal, not transactional.

‍

And being named on the list of Best Doctors in Arizona for two consecutive years, 2025 and 2026, feels like validation that we’re on the right track.

‍

Finally, Dental Care That Fits You

We know that finding a dental home (one you actually look forward to visiting!) isn’t always easy. And in a world where it can feel like you’re "just another name on a chart," we want you to come here and feel seen, heard, and understood.

That’s why we do things differently.

This recognition isn’t just about a single provider, it’s about a team and a culture that prioritizes:

✔️ Predictable results through advanced technology like 3D imaging and smile simulations.

✔️ Restorative and cosmetic expertise, from full-mouth dental implants to custom veneers that don’t look “cookie cutter.”

✔️ Prevention-first care that helps you avoid problems instead of reacting to them.

And, most importantly, it’s about trust. The kind that makes our patients feel confident that we’ll take care of them like family.

Quick Facts About Alpers Dentistry:

• 2× recipient of Arizona’s Best Doctors Award (2025, 2026)
• Full-service care: general, cosmetic, implants, and more
• Technology-forward: smile simulations, CBCT, 3D printer, AI-enhanced diagnostics
• Locally owned and operated in Scottsdale

You Deserve a Dentist Who Listens, Not Lectures

We have the privilege of serving Scottsdale families every day. While our technology, treatments, and team members have evolved through the years, our core values remain unchanged:

→ We don’t push treatments. We guide and inform.

→ We don’t rush. We listen.

→ We don’t talk at you. We partner with you.

Dr. Kris Alpers, Scottsdale dentist ranked among Arizona’s Best Doctors 2026, leads the practice with a vision that’s grounded in real connection. He believes dentistry should feel personal, never transactional, and that patients deserve care that’s both modern and deeply human. 

Today, he continues to mentor other dentists across the country, volunteers locally, and remains hands-on in the practice he’s proud to call home.

What It Feels Like to Be a Patient Here

We often hear from new patients that they were anxious before coming in, but then left wondering why they waited so long. 

Our technology makes the process faster and more predictable, and our team walks you through every step. No surprises. No pressure.

‍

“I’ve never had a dentist actually listen like this.”

‍

“It feels like you guys really care.”

‍

“This is the best investment I’ve made in myself.”

‍

Those are just a few things we’ve heard from patients over the last year. And we don’t take them for granted.

We want you to feel safe, informed, and cared for. And if you’ve had a bad dental experience in the past, we’ll work with you to rebuild trust in the process.

That’s what this Arizona’s Best Doctors 2026 recognition is all about: being able to trust your Scottsdale dentist and feel certain you’re in the right hands.

‍

More Precision. Less Guesswork. Always Personal.

We’re continuing to invest in the tools and training that elevate patient care:

✔️ More advanced implant workflows so that fewer patients have to be referred out.
✔️ More use of AI-assisted diagnostic tools (for things like cavity detection and precision mapping).
✔️ More focus on collaboration between our team and our patients.

But no matter how much we grow, we’re always going to keep it personal.

That’s two years in a row Dr. Alpers has made the list, 2025 and now 2026.

‍

His expertise and patient-first approach have made him a go-to voice in the dental community. Alpers Dentistry was also named the #1 best cosmetic dentistry practice in Arizona.
