About Dr. Ortale Kevin Ortale, DDS, is a family and cosmetic dentist with more than 22 years of experience working with children and adults. Dr. Ortale is passionate about providing personalized, effective, high-quality care to his patients and currently serves the Phoenix, Arizona, community at his practice. Born and raised in Huntington Beach, California, Dr. Ortale realized he wanted to be a dentist in the fourth grade. After graduating from The University of California at Irvine in 1993, he stuck to his plan and immediately enrolled in dental school at the University of Iowa in Iowa City. He initially planned on specializing in pediatrics upon graduation in 1997, but life had other plans for Dr. Ortale.   With so much left to learn, Dr. Ortale continued training in the Air Force and completed an advanced education in general dentistry (AEGD) residency in 1998 at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska. Dr. Ortale was fortunate enough to live abroad in Germany for two years before settling down in Arizona in 2000. While Dr. Ortale joined a dental practice in Scottsdale, Arizona, shortly after returning to the United States, he took a chance and started his own practice in 2003.   Since launching Kevin Ortale, DDS, he has spent the last 17 years honing his abilities as a family and cosmetic dentist. He stays up to date on the latest advancements in dental technology and innovative treatments. Dr Ortale has furthered his passion for producing not only the best in dental esthetics, but has also aligned with the prestigious American Academy of Facial Esthetics to learn and also teach the latest techniques in facial esthetics and pain control. Dr. Ortale prides himself on connecting with patients on a personal level. He’s a friendly, positive doctor who always remains engaged and understanding when speaking with patients.   Patient comfort and satisfaction are top priorities at Dr. Ortale’s practice, and the entire team truly values each patient relationship. When he is not in the office, Dr. Ortale loves spending time with his sons, Jake and Wyatt, playing golf with his friends, or simply enjoying a hike in the AZ desert.
