Dr. Nicole Saldua is a Scottsdale cosmetic and general dentist who mixes strong clinical training with a warm, down-to-earth style that instantly puts patients at ease. 

A graduate of the University of Washington School of Dentistry, Dr. Saldua is skilled in cosmetic treatments like veneers, whitening and Invisalign, along with comprehensive general dentistry and oral surgery. 

She’s also refreshingly honest—if a specialist can do it better, she’ll refer without hesitation, which is a big reason patients trust her.

Her passion is demystifying dentistry. She uses simple visuals, real-talk explanations, and zero jargon to help people understand everything from insurance to fluoride to children’s oral habits. She knows the dental chair can make people feel vulnerable, so she focuses on clarity, comfort, and making dental care feel approachable.

Outside of the office, Dr. Saldua shares practical dental tips online and connects with patients in a way that feels authentic, educational, and genuinely caring.
