Meet Your Dentist
Michael R. HessDDS
As the new owner of Cactus Horizon Dentistry, Dr. Hess is excited to continue the tradition of exceptional care while bringing his own friendly, patient-first approach to the Phoenix community. After losing a tooth in high school and undergoing corrective jaw surgery, Dr. Hess's path to dentistry became a passion.
He served in the U.S. Navy for five years, completing an AEGD residency before pursuing advanced implant training through the AAID Maxicourse. He’s known not only for his clinical skill but also for his outgoing personality and patient-first philosophy.
