BELLAIR PERIODONTICS: Vanessa Marinho DDS, MS

If you’re someone who doesn’t enjoy the dentist but really can’t afford to ignore the problems with your teeth, I would absolutely recommend Vanessa and the rest of the team at Bellair Periodontics.
I’ve probably been to every dentist in the west and east valley - and NONE of them enroll as much care, love, or kindness into their work as Bellair does.

I came to Dr. Marinho with a vast array of issues, including crumbling and decaying teeth that I was incredibly embarrassed by. After being hospitalized from a severe fungal infection I started having severe problems with my mouth; and despite my urgency to get to a dentist, it seemed that every office i had gone to prior to Dr. Marinho really didn’t care nor were they concerned about my needs as a patient.

Since finding this office I no longer try to hide my smile (although the amount of coffee I drink should probably make me want to) - but that’s okay, because they’ll probably help me with that as well!

If you go here you won’t be disappointed. I give Bellair periodontics a 10 out of 10 on the teeth and love scale - i don’t know if that’s a good measurement of greatness, but to me, it’s all you could ask for with a dentist.

I have been a patient since January 2015. I haven’t had the worst experiences with doctors. But I can tell you I didn’t enjoy going or getting my teeth cleaned. I was still going to my kids dentist at the age of 21 because I loved how gentle they were with my mouth. My mom kept pushing me to get my teeth cleaned after having my initial exam with dr. Marinho. I originally went because of some genetic issues that run on my moms side. I’m good, just a precaution. But my mom kept pushing me to go see brookie and have an adult dentist and hygienist so i finally went and brookie was amazing. She is super gentle and patient. After that i switched over to bellair periodontics for my teeth cleanings. Back then I wasn’t doing as well with my hygiene I’ll admit. Back in March i graduated from dental assisting tech school with the Air Force. As soon as I came back I got my teeth cleaning. This office is so amazing they even tried to help me find a dental assisting job. Back in July they ended up calling me and hiring me so I went from a patient to a patient and team member. This is an amazing office. Dr. Marinho really cares about her patients. That’s what I love to see in an office!!

This review is long overdue. Best periodontics office ever. I have been coming here for over 13 years every 3 months to get my teeth cleaned (with nitrous). I am a wimp. Also early on had some gum surgery. The staff is great, friendly and courteous and all have been there since I have been going there.. Over the years I have been the victim of some really rough dental work but I look forward to going there. Thanks to them I at age 75 have really great looking teeth. Check them out. You won't be sorry

Dr. Vanessa Marinho and staff are the best. I have been a patient of Bellair Peridontics for years and have found them to be caring, gentle, effective, and yes funny. I know going to the "dentist" usually isn't our most favorite place to visit however I have found that it is not my worst place to visit.

I’ve had a many a hygienist in my 60+ years of getting my teeth cleaned, but Brookie is hands down the best hygienist I’ve ever had. She is simply the best!
