Why People Love Central Dental

Melody O.
I had my first appointment with Dr.Larkin at Central Dental and I am truly blown away by the entire experience. From the moment I walked into his office, I felt welcomed and at ease. The customer service was exceptional everyone was kind, attentive, and professional, but Dr.Larkin himself is a rare gem. His skill, warmth, and charisma shine through in everything he does.

Highly recommend Dr. Larkin! I had a dental emergency when visiting family in Phoenix. Cracked tooth that required a crown. Dr. Larkin came in after hours and rushed my final crown/cap from the lab so I could have it before I left. Cherry on top is that he gave me the X-rays he took so that I could take them back to my dentist in California. Really appreciate all he did for a patient who wasn’t one of his regulars. Shows a lot about his character!

My experience with Dr. Larkin was a positive one. He made sure the experience was seamless and comfortable, which is unusual for me since I abhor going to the dentist! He was gentle and explained everything he was doing which gave me clarity and put me at ease.

Dr. Larkin is awesome. Super professional, easy to talk to, and somehow makes going to the dentist feel like no big deal (which is saying a lot). The whole team is friendly and welcoming, and the office runs like a well-oiled machine. Dr. Larkin took the time to explain what was going on and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. My teeth have literally never looked or felt better. Can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m actually looking forward to my next visit.

Simple Care That Keeps Your Smile Healthy

Comfortable, No-Rush Visits

From cozy treatment chairs to Netflix at your fingertips, we’ve designed every detail to help you feel at ease.

Convenient Hours That Work for You

Life is busy. That’s why we offer evening and Saturday appointments—to make it easier to fit dental care into your routine.

Friendly, Judgment-Free Care

No lectures. No pressure. Just a team that listens, explains, and treats you with the respect you deserve.

How Often Should You Come In?

A dental checkup every six months is one of the simplest ways to protect your smile—and your overall health. These regular visits allow us to catch small issues like early decay, gum inflammation, or bite changes before they turn into more serious (and expensive) problems. Think of it as routine maintenance for your mouth. Just like a car runs better with regular oil changes, your teeth and gums stay healthier with consistent care. Plus, you’ll enjoy a fresher smile and peace of mind knowing everything’s on track.

Not Sure It’s Time?

Even if you’re not feeling pain, your mouth might be telling you it’s time to check in. Here are a few signs you shouldn’t ignore:

  • Bleeding when brushing or flossing – This could be an early sign of gum disease
  • Tooth pain or hot/cold sensitivity – Could point to cavities, cracks, or nerve issues
  • Bad breath that lingers – May signal a buildup, infection, or underlying dental concerns
  • It’s been more than six months – Life gets busy, but your smile still needs attention
  • You’re ready for a fresh start – Whether you're new to the area or just ready to prioritize your health, we’re here to help

Even if you feel fine, regular checkups are key to keeping small problems from turning into big ones. We’ll make the process simple, comfortable, and tailored to your needs.

Dr. Larkin checks your teeth, gums, bite, and jaw for any signs of decay, infection, or wear. We take time to explain everything in simple terms and answer your questions.

Oral Cancer Screening

Every checkup includes a fast, painless screening that helps us detect early warning signs of oral cancer. It’s a small step that makes a big difference for your overall health.
