It’s all about the patient.

All about the patient means that Dr. Penfil loves high fear patients, his unofficial specialty. It also means patient comfort at all times, both physically and mentally.

Patient Testimonials

We love our patients like family and we're humbled to know they feel the same. We've collected some of their words and we look forward to meeting new friends.

The office is clean and takes extra precautions to keep patients safe from Covid. The staff is amazing and is able to handle crying patients (me) with understanding and compassion. After two separates visits for an extraction and a root canal, the dentist followed up with a phone call to check how I was doing the following morning. The dentist speaks honestly and frankly about the problems presented and the treatment plans.

The staff here are amazing! They have great personalities, are very proficient in their abilities and genuinely care about you and your wellbeing. I would highly recommend this facility for anyone who wants to be informed, treated and set up for success; all while enjoying the process along the way! Keep up the amazing work everybody!

- JR Livingston

Have had 5 appointments so far and every appointment was on time. For someone who absolutely abhors sitting in waiting rooms for a 50 minute delay with an appointment this alone rates five stars. Everyone there takes great pains in trying to keep their work pain free which also rates five stars. Dr. Ricks and the staff are also very friendly and I believe they truly care.

My wife and I moved to this area of Tucson 6 months ago. We both made appointments at Thornydale Dental. I’ve been hesitant to make a dental appointment because of Covid. When I arrived for my appointment all safety procedures were in place to insure everyone’s safety. You could not find a more friendly and professional staff from the front desk to the hygienist. Dr. Penfil was thorough and very personable. I’d like to take credit finding this excellent dental office but it was my wife who went dental shopping and found this gem of an office.
