Palo Verde Smiles formerly known as Critchfield Dental

A northwest Glendale dental practice that’s been around the block under a couple of names, Palo Verde Smiles—formerly Critchfield Dental—takes a straightforward approach to general and cosmetic dentistry. The office sits in the shopping corridor at 18275 N 59th Ave Building D120, a light-industrial pocket between Arrowhead Mall and the Loop 101 off-ramp. Routine cleanings and exams align with bleaching, crowns, and minor oral surgery; implants and Invisalign round out the lineup without fanfare. Neighbors drop in for simple fillings and periodic checks, or schedule visits for simpler day-to-day needs. The practice keeps paperwork lean, so bring your insurance card and any recent X-rays if you have them—nothing more is asked up front. The area’s mix of offices, retail, and mid-rise apartments guarantees parking is usually close at hand, even on busier weekdays. Plan your route or pull up the map before you leave; once you’re on site you’ll find the entrance in the D-building row—the glass doors sit between a shipping store and a tile outlet. Weave (602) 654-6995 into your visit or booking call, and you’ll be in and out in a single sitting.
