Your Trusted Dentist in Gilbert, AZ
Our Gilbert office on Val Vista Drive serves as Summit Ridge Dental's home in the southeast Valley, bringing the same advanced technology and patient-focused care to one of Arizona's fastest-growing communities. Located near San Tan Village and the Gilbert Heritage District, we're the neighborhood dental home for families throughout Gilbert, Queen Creek, San Tan Valley, Power Ranch, Agritopia, and southeast Mesa.
Dr. Maria Vasquez leads the Gilbert team and has deep roots in this community — she grew up in nearby Mesa, is an active member of the Gilbert Chamber of Commerce, and spends her weekends exploring the Agritopia farmers market. Her specialties in cosmetic dentistry, sedation dentistry, and pediatric care make this office an especially great fit for families with kids of all ages. Dr. James Patel also sees patients here on Tuesdays and Thursdays, offering Invisalign consultations and general dentistry.
The Gilbert office features CEREC same-day crown technology, 3D CT imaging, and iTero digital scanning — the same advanced tools available at our Scottsdale flagship. Spanish-speaking staff are available every day, reflecting the vibrant, diverse community we serve. With Saturday hours and same-day emergency slots, we make it easy for busy Gilbert families to get the care they need when they need it.
