Get to know Dentist Dr. Sara Vizcarra, who serves patients in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Located at the base of Pinnacle Peak, Dr. Vizcarra has been delivering quality care to patients at her private practice, Pinnacle Peak Family Dentistry, in Scottsdale, Arizona since 2005. Dedicated to excellence, she offers a wide range of services that will suit the diverse dental needs of any patient, including general dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, implant dentistry, Invisalign, pediatrics, orthodontics, and prosthodontics. 

Since its establishment, Pinnacle Peak Family Dentistry has grown to include other doctors and specialists and has gained the prestige of being named one of the premier dental offices in the community by North Scottsdale Magazine. It has also been voted Best of Phoenix two years running by Phoenix Magazine.

Beyond the esteem and reputation of the practice, Dr. Vizcarra herself is a wonderfully personable and caring dentist. She is gentle, kind, patient, and compassionate. Patients and their families can find comfort in her humor and her ability to make every dental visit an enjoyable experience. 

A graduate of the University of Missouri- Kansas City School of Dentistry, Dr. Vizcarra specialized further into dental craniofacial medicine, offering treatment for orofacial pain, TMJ disorders, and sleep apnea. Following the completion of several residencies and years of treating these conditions, she became a diplomat of both the American Board of Craniofacial Pain and the American Board of Craniofacial Dental Sleep Medicine. She practiced privately in Missouri before finding her way to Arizona. Once here, she rooted herself at her new dental home. 

To maintain her expertise and commitment to dentistry for oral and overall health, she is involved in the following organizations: the American Dental Association, the Arizona Dental Association, the Hispanic Dental Association, and the American Academy of Pain Management. 

Always on a continuous thirst for education, from continuing education courses to collaborating with other dental professionals, she serves as the Chair of the Health and Wellness Committee at Pinnacle Peak Chamber of Commerce, an Adjunct Faculty Member & Active Mentor of Arizona School of Dentistry & Oral Health, and as a volunteer at John C. Lincoln Hospital and AZ Mission of Mercy. 

Among her professional involvement, Dr. Vizcarra volunteers to provide dental care to underserved patients in the U.S. as well as Central and South America. Her dedication to patients suffering from TMJ disorders and sleep apnea allows her to diagnose and treat patients unaware of their symptoms and conditions.

Dentistry, also known as Dental and Oral Medicine, is a branch of medicine that consists of the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the oral cavity. Dentists diagnose and treat dental issues and help patients develop better oral hygiene regimens. They clean teeth, correct bite issues, perform surgeries and extractions, and perform other duties to ensure that the teeth and mouth are healthy. 

At home, Dr.Vizcarra is a proud mother to her son, “little” Luis. She enjoys being active by jogging, hiking, lifting weights, salsa dancing, and doing yoga. Above all else, she loves spending time with her family. One thing on her bucket list: Climb Mount Everest!
