Half a Million People Call Mesa Home. Finding a Dentist Should Be Simple

Finding a dentist you trust in a city as large as Mesa takes real effort. Most options feel like a guess. You want care close enough to fit into your day. You also want a provider consistent enough to keep for years. Tempe Dentistry gives Mesa patients both. The drive is short, the appointments run on time, and Dr. Chan takes the time to explain every option before you decide.

Dr. Jeremy Chan, DDS, trained at the Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry at University of the Pacific. He is Vivos-certified and holds membership in the AADSM and AASM. No upsells, no pressure, and no surprises at the desk. You get experience, continuity, and a plan in plain words at every visit.

Living Near Mesa

Mesa is the third largest city in Arizona, with a population of over 500,000 residents. It covers approximately 138 square miles in Maricopa County, directly east of Tempe. Mesa sits at a higher elevation than much of the Valley. Its name comes from the Spanish word for flat-topped hill. Wide streets and established neighborhoods give the city a settled feel. Easy access to desert recreation adds to that appeal.

The Hohokam people built one of the largest prehistoric canal networks in the Americas. Much of that network ran across what is now Mesa. Mormon settlers arrived in 1878 and found those ancient canals. They put them back to work to irrigate the new community. The town incorporated in 1883 with a population of 300 people. Mesa Grande Cultural Park on North Date Street preserves a Hohokam ceremonial mound. It was built between 1100 and 1450 AD. That mound is longer and wider than a football field and still stands 27 feet tall today.

Mesa has grown from that original agricultural settlement into a diverse and fast-moving city. Boeing and Banner Health anchor two of the largest employment sectors in town. The Mesa Arts Center in downtown Mesa houses multiple theaters, galleries, and studios. It ranks among the largest arts complexes in the region. Spring training brings thousands of fans to Sloan Park each February and March. The Chicago Cubs prepare for the season there.
