Desert Ridge Family Dental

Desert Ridge Family Dental has been serving the East Tucson community since 1975 when Drs. Joel Steinfeld and Lewis Leavitt opened the doors of their individual practices under the same roof.  For forty-five years, they built relationships with the community and it's people through dedication to a patient-first approach.

In 2020, Dr. Benjamin Gardea purchased and merged the two practices and continues to build relationships with the same patient-centric approach.  Since 2020, the practice has grown consistently at 10-15% per year and recently moved into a newly remodeled office around the corner from its original location.  

We now have the space to meet the needs of our ever growing patient base.  Our patient mix consists of fee for service and PPO insured patients, and we offer membership plan for uninsured patients.  We accept no Medicaid or capitation plans.   We are looking for an friendly, energetic, driven, and patient focused associate to join our practice and help take it to the next level.
