Services
Pediatric Dentistry
Our pediatric dentists provide comprehensive oral healthcare tailored to children starting at age one. Services include preventive care, early cavity intervention with ICON treatment, and specialized care for children with medical complexities. We focus on creating positive experiences through child-friendly environments and gentle techniques to build lifelong dental habits.
Orthodontics
We offer customized orthodontic solutions for all ages, including traditional metal braces, clear ceramic braces, and SureSmile technology. Our board-certified orthodontists address crowding, spacing, and bite issues using advanced diagnostics and treatment planning. Early intervention options help guide proper jaw development and reduce future treatment needs.
Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign clear aligners straighten teeth discreetly without traditional brackets. Ideal for teens and adults, this treatment uses removable, nearly invisible trays to correct misalignment. We provide coordinated care where patients receive pediatric dental services and orthodontic treatment in one visit, streamlining their oral health journey.
Dental Sedation
Our practice offers oral sedation options for anxious patients or children needing complex procedures. Certified sedation examiners ensure safety while providing a relaxed environment. This service enables comprehensive care in fewer visits, particularly for patients with special needs or extensive treatment requirements.
SureSmile Technology
SureSmile utilizes robotic wire bending and 3D imaging for precision orthodontic treatment. This technology reduces adjustment visits and shortens treatment time by up to 40%. Our elite-level providers in Scottsdale have received national recognition for implementing this advanced system effectively for complex cases.

Our hygienist Jamie was absolutely amazing this morning! She was great with our unpredictable toddler and knew exactly how to interact with her to reduce anxiety. We got through an entire cleaning without any issues whatsoever. Both Dr. Itty and Jamie were incredibly thorough and really took the time to teach and explain things which I really appreciated. I cannot express enough how happy I am with this practice!

They really made me feel comfortable with my son for a first timer and he's 3.5. It was such an easy visit for a little guy who had never been because the dentist Dr Tim is right out of a movie and super kind and funny

Everyone here from the staff I spoke to in person or by text who assisted with my sons surgery is beyond the best. I live in Phoenix, but they are all well worth the drive. Everyone here is so caring, comforting, understanding, & respectful. Not just to the parents, but to the kids & that means the world to me. Great experience, I would recommend them to anyone! My son has high anxiety & he is very tall for his age as well.

Our two daughters have been patients of APDO for a few years and weve always been provided with great care. This summer my youngest daughter had two cavities, one which was very serious and needed immediate attention. We typically see Dr. Wilson who is fantastic but at this time Dr. Itty was scheduled to perform my daughters procedure. Dr. Itty and his staff handled the entire experience with such care, compassion and efficiency. My daughter is only four and it was a nerve-racking experience for both Of us especially during such a difficult time of Covid. They explained everything before
