About Arizona Avenue Dentistry
Where Your Comfort And Dental Care Come First
At Arizona Avenue Dentistry, we believe that quality dental care should be accessible, welcoming and completely judgment-free.
Since 2022, Dr. Shannon Grady and our caring team have been providing compassionate dental care to families throughout Yuma, Somerton, San Luis and surrounding communities. We understand that visiting the dentist can feel overwhelming for some patients. That's exactly why we've built our practice around one simple philosophy: creating a supportive environment where every patient feels respected and heard.
Whether you're coming in for a routine cleaning, addressing a long-delayed dental issue or seeking a smile transformation, you'll find a team that listens without judgment and works with you to achieve your oral health goals.
Our Approach To Care

- No-Judgment Philosophy - We welcome patients who haven't been to the dentist in years. Your past doesn't matter; we're here to help you move forward.
- Patient-Centered Care - We take time to listen to your concerns, explain all your treatment options and make sure you're comfortable with every decision.
- Modern Comfort - Our office features the latest dental technology to make your visits faster, more comfortable and more effective.
