If you have to go to dentist this is as good as it gets. Everyone in office was very pleasant and easy to work with.
The dentist and dental hygienist were amazing. Very thorough and kind. In and out quickly and very affordable.
A proud Tucson native, Dr. Lissette Ruiz, DDS is known for creating a welcoming, judgment-free environment where patients feel heard, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. She believes exceptional dentistry starts with connection—and that compassion is just as important as clinical excellence.
Dr. Ruiz discovered her passion for dentistry at just nine years old, after witnessing how a confident smile could completely transform someone’s life. That early inspiration grew into a lifelong commitment to helping patients feel healthier, more confident, and proud of their smiles. What continues to fuel her passion today is the unique blend of art, science, and community impact that dentistry offers.
Dr. Ruiz earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Arizona (Bear Down!) and went on to receive her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine. She further advanced her training by completing an Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency at NYU Langone, where she refined her clinical, restorative, and surgical skills especially in implants and root canals.
She has a special interest in cosmetic bonding, veneers, crowns, bridges, and dental implants, and enjoys incorporating the latest advancements in digital dentistry to deliver precise, state-of-the-art care with exceptional results.
Outside the office, Dr. Ruiz loves spending time with her new baby, watching movies, and exploring new adventures with her family. As a Tucson local, she is proud to serve the community she calls home and looks forward to caring for patients of all ages.

Dr. Ruiz is very professional and friendly. Highly recommend her services.
The dentist and dental hygienist were amazing. Very thorough and kind. In and out quickly and very affordable.
Christina did a fabulous job cleaning my teeth.
If you have to go to dentist this is as good as it gets. Everyone in office was very pleasant and easy to work with.
The doctor talked to me like I was stupid, and was very dismissive of my concerns. He offered a “solution” that was easy for him because he knows his skill isn’t good enough to achieve the quality I was seeking. His “solution” has left me still in pain and I’ve been unable to eat on the side of my mouth that he worked on since my very first visit with him.
He appears to understand dental issues but was concerned with deep pockets for my concern with l knew we're 5/6 from previous dentist. Although they did not measurements at this visit they did do trays. Staff is pleasent and competent and especially my hygienist which was excellent
I was satisfied with good service.
Very friendly and efficient
Great dentist, his staff is phenomenal! Really care about your dental health,!
Very friendly He explains everything and the charges are extremely affordable
Great dental practice.
It's important to me that dentists treat me like a human being and not like I'm an idiot, and I can say that everyone at this practice is super nice and non judgemental. Definitely recommended if you have any kind of dental anxiety.
This visit was for teeth cleaning. Christina did excellent work. Through, good questions and information, no pain. Dr. Lissette Ruiz did an exam and also asked good questions and listened. With both the focus was on me and on my mouth.
I've been going to Ideal Dental for 3 years and am very happy with the service I get there. They are very honest about what you need.
Excellent experience
I've been pleased with the care and communication I've received in comparison with my prior dental providers, would definitely recommend.
As expected.
Was surprised to have Britney not in. My original hygienist. I missed her. I have vety sensative teeth so there was some uncomfortableness. The room was frigidly cold.
Dr Williams was pleasant, considerate and not trying to sell his services, but did make recommendations and I appreciated that.
6 stars best dental ever
Professional with a very relaxed environment. Fun group
Was very professional
Everyone is so kind, patient and understanding. They are very professional, efficient and quick. I have had nothing but wonderful experiences when I go.
Professional. Fast. Quality. Friendly
The journey to a captivating smile starts with proper care, thank you Dr. Lissette Ruiz for your proffesionalism and excelente job.
I needed urgent care & though I couldn't make the same day appt, they got me in early the next day. The staff were friendly & professional. Vion, the dental assistant, was especially nice and very gentle during xrays, calmed my nerves & made sure all my questions were answered. Dr. Ruiz - well.... she's AMAZING! Due to infection, I required a lot of numbing and IT DIDN'T HURT! Dentist offices are my least favorite place, but this is my favorite dentist office!
Great experience, staff is very friendly.
Wonderful
Clean friendly knowledgeable Should discuss payment options before services. I checked to see if they carried my insurance before making appointment. After wards was told not that plan. I didn't have 349.00. Was quickly settled but totally unavoidable.
Was a great experience they were very professional very very prompt and great with service
