Convenient Access from Chandler
Plan on about 25 minutes from downtown Chandler to Smile Haus Dental Studio, a dentist Chandler, AZ families can fit around work, school and practice schedules. We are in Mesa, on McKellips Rd just west of Lindsay Rd, and the drive follows one long northbound corridor before a short hop on the US 60. Checkups, orthodontics and cosmetic care all happen under one roof, so a whole household can be seen by the same team.
From the Chandler Downtown Library on S Delaware St, turn onto Chandler Blvd and pick up Arizona Ave, which is also SR 87, heading north. Past the city line it becomes Country Club Dr in Mesa and meets the US 60 Superstition Fwy, where you head east to exit 182 and turn north on Gilbert Rd. Follow Gilbert Rd to McKellips Rd and turn east to 2727 E McKellips Rd #101, about 14 miles in total, or tap our Google Maps location for turn-by-turn help. Families who live closer to the neighboring communities may also find our pages for Gilbert and Dobson Ranch useful.
Family-Friendly Dentistry for a Busy City
Chandler has grown into a commercial and technology hub, with Intel as a leading employer at two sites and companies such as Northrop Grumman, Wells Fargo, PayPal and Boeing nearby. The city center lines SR 87, while the Loop 202 Santan Fwy and Loop 101 divide the rest into North, West and South Chandler. Between work, school and commutes on those freeways, free time on a weekday can be hard to find.
Downtown centers on Dr. A.J. Chandler Park, known for its holiday tumbleweed Christmas tree, which the city says is being renovated. You can read more about the district on the city's Downtown Chandler page. Tumbleweed Park hosts the Ostrich Festival and the Fourth of July Fireworks Festival, and Chandler Fashion Center, open since 2001, anchors shopping on the west side.
The city lies in Maricopa County, with Tempe to the north and the San Tan Mountains nearby. Its center sits about 22 miles southeast of Downtown Phoenix along SR 87, the same highway that starts your trip to our office.
A practice that handles everyone's care in one place simplifies that schedule. Smile Haus sees children, teens and adults for cleanings and exams, offers two orthodontic paths, and has cosmetic and restorative options for parents when it is finally their turn. It is a short list of phone calls instead of a long one.
Planning Dental Care Around Work and School
The office runs 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and it sees patients on Monday and Friday by appointment only. An early slot lets a parent handle a checkup and still make a mid-morning meeting, while an afternoon visit can follow school pickup. Booking the next cleaning before you leave keeps the six-month rhythm from slipping.
Orthodontic questions tend to come up around the middle-school and high-school years. Spark clear aligners suit teens and adults who will wear removable trays as directed, switching sets about every one to two weeks. Traditional braces remain the fixed option when that works better. Either way, the plan starts with a consultation that looks at the bite, the smile and your goals.
Parents have dental needs too, and they are often the ones postponed. A routine dental cleaning is a good restart, and from there our dentists can discuss whitening or other cosmetic work. Patients who feel tense in the chair can choose IV sedation, oral conscious sedation or nitrous oxide after a review of their health history.
Services From Your Dentist Chandler, AZ Households Trust
Preventative Dentistry
Cleanings and exams for every age are the base of family care. Seeing problems early keeps treatment smaller and less disruptive for school and work weeks.
Traditional Braces
Brackets and wires stay in place around the clock, which suits some teens better than removable trays. They also handle bite corrections that aligners may not.
Spark® Clear Aligners
Clear, removable aligners give teens and adults a discreet way to straighten teeth. A 3D digital model shows the planned movement before treatment begins.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Laser whitening and ceramic restorations help Chandler professionals feel confident in front of clients and cameras. Each plan is built around your existing teeth and dental work.
Dental Sedation
For adults who dread treatment, sedation can make a visit far more manageable. Our dentists choose the type based on anxiety, health and the procedure.
Several services often overlap for one patient. A teen finishing aligners may want whitening afterward, and a parent coming in for a cleaning may learn that an older filling needs replacing. Keeping that care in one office means one set of records, one treatment plan and one team that knows your family's history, which saves repeated paperwork and repeated explanations.

Insurance, Membership & Financing
Aetna and United Concordia are among the PPO plans Smile Haus accepts, and the office will check any plan that is not listed. Households without coverage can use the Smile Haus Membership Plan, which has separate tiers for kids and adults. Cherry or CareCredit can spread the cost of braces or larger work into monthly payments.

Do your dentists use lasers?
Yes. Laser dentistry is part of care at Smile Haus, and Dr. Spurling holds an associate fellowship with the World Clinical Laser Institute and fellowship status in the Academy of Laser Dentistry. The office also uses Biolase laser whitening, in which a laser activates a professional whitening gel during a cosmetic visit, so lasers show up in both treatment and whitening.
What happens at a routine cleaning appointment?
A routine visit pairs a professional cleaning with an exam by one of our dentists. The hygienist removes plaque and tartar buildup, x-rays are taken when they are due, and the dentist checks teeth, gums and existing dental work. You leave knowing whether anything needs attention, and you can schedule the next six-month visit before heading home.
How do I join the membership plan?
You can join at the front desk or online through Clerri, the company that runs the plan. Kids 13 and under are covered by Child Complete for $28 monthly, and anyone 14 or older can pick Adult Complete for $32 monthly. Benefits start immediately, with no deductibles, waiting periods or claim denials to manage.
Is the Spark aligner consultation free?
Yes, for new patients. The free Spark Clear Aligners consultation evaluates your smile and goals and relies on 3D imaging, which turns your teeth into a digital model. From there, our dentists can show how the aligners would shift your teeth, with each set worn about one to two weeks, before you commit to treatment.
