At DMD Dental in North Scottsdale, dental exams are about much more than checking for cavities. Under the expert care of Dr. Erika Du Mond, each exam offers a deep, biological and functional look at how your oral health is impacting your overall wellness. With advanced training in integrative and laser dentistry, Dr. Du Mond takes a whole-body approach—because the health of your mouth plays a vital role in the health of your entire body.
A Thoughtful, Comprehensive Approach
Your dental exam begins with a gentle yet thorough evaluation of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues. Using digital X-rays and advanced imaging when needed, Dr. Du Mond examines not just your smile, but the underlying biological structures and functional systems—including your bone health, airway, bite alignment, and early signs of decay or infection.
What truly sets this practice apart is the time and attention devoted to understanding you, not just your teeth. Dr. Du Mond reviews your medical history, lifestyle, and even stress levels to uncover how these factors may affect both your oral and systemic health. Every recommendation is personalized, preventive, and designed to support your long-term well-being.
Connecting Oral Health to Whole-Body Health
Scientific research has shown strong links between oral conditions and chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and even cognitive decline. Dr. Du Mond pays special attention to signs of inflammation and infection in the mouth, recognizing these as important biological indicators that may reflect or contribute to broader health concerns.
During your visit, discussions may also include airway health, jaw function, nutrition, and habits like clenching or mouth breathing—all of which can impact the harmony of your body. When appropriate, Dr. Du Mond may recommend advanced screenings or regenerative therapies to support both oral and systemic healing, such as platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), laser therapy, or customized home-care strategies.
What to Expect at Your Visit
From the moment you arrive at our practice, your comfort and health are our top priorities. Most new patient exams take about an hour and include:
- A comprehensive evaluation of teeth, gums, jaw, and bite
- Digital imaging as needed
- Oral cancer screening

Truly Life-Changing!
Looking for a new dental office since my previous dentist moved to Hawaii, and I came across an ad for DMD Dental as a new office to the area. I figured I would check them out and I’m happy I did. Booking an appointment was super easy, and they got me in quickly to see Dr. Du Mond for a cleaning. She was fantastic; so helpful, patient, and really took the time to listen to my concerns about a crown I’ve been putting off for a while. The entire staff was incredibly nice and helpful, making the visit smooth and comfortable. I’m thrilled to say I’ve just found my new dentist!! Highly recommend checking them out.
I’m AMAZED!
I want to call DMD a Tooth Spa – the most relaxed dental visit I’ve ever had. Exceptional service, brand new offices, brand new equipment with state of the art technology. Professional, knowledgeable and genuinely caring staff made my very long visit a wonderful success. Many thanks to you and your team
Beyond Impressed!
Dr. Erika and her office staff provided an outstanding experience during my dental visit. The team was warm, professional, and attentive from the moment I walked in. Dr. Erika’s expertise and attention to detail were impressive, and I felt completely at ease throughout the appointment. I’m extremely happy with the treatment I received and would confidently recommend DMD Dental to anyone looking for exceptional dental care.
Exceeded My Expectations!
I had the best experience at DMD Dental! I went in for red light therapy and trigger point injections for my TMJ. Dr. Du Mond carefully examined my jaw, temples and back to source all of the tension related to my jaw clenching. The injections really helped! After my treatment, I relaxed in the red light therapy bed for a 10 minute session. I received so many compliments on my skin in the days following. I will definitely be back!
