About Your Dentists
Dr. Robert Holyoak has been practicing dentistry since 1976 and is celebrating his 50th year in the profession. He's treated multiple generations of West Valley families, and his depth of experience shows in how he approaches each exam — methodically, without rushing, and with an eye for the kinds of subtle changes that only become visible over years of knowing a patient's mouth. Dr. Lisa Kubik is co-owner and practicing dentist at Copper Sky Dental. Together, they bring both decades of accumulated clinical knowledge and current best practices to every appointment.
As a locally owned practice, we have no incentive to recommend treatment you don't need. When we tell you something needs attention, it's because it does. When you're fine to wait or monitor, we'll tell you that too.

Comprehensive Dental Exams
Thorough evaluation of your teeth, gums, bite, and jaw. We use digital dental X-rays and visual examination to detect issues early when they are easiest to treat.
Professional Teeth Cleanings
Removal of plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing cannot eliminate. Professional dental cleanings in Peoria, AZ help prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath.
Tooth-Colored Dental Fillings

Low-radiation digital imaging that provides instant, detailed views of your teeth, roots, and jawbone for accurate diagnosis.

Routine screenings to detect early signs of oral cancer. Early detection significantly improves treatment outcomes.
Fluoride Treatments
Professional fluoride applications to strengthen tooth enamel and help prevent decay, especially beneficial for patients prone to cavities.
Dental Sealants
Thin protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth to prevent cavities. Dental sealants in Peoria, AZ are a simple, painless way to add an extra layer of defense against decay for both adults and children.
What Happens Under the Surface: Why Regular Cleanings Matter
Plaque forms on your teeth every single day. It's a sticky film of bacteria that, if not removed, hardens into tartar (also called calculus) within 24 to 72 hours. Once tartar forms, brushing and flossing won't touch it — only a dental professional can remove it. Left in place, tartar harbors bacteria that release acids and toxins, attacking enamel and irritating the gum tissue. That's how small problems become cavities, and how gingivitis quietly advances into gum disease.
Professional cleanings interrupt that cycle. They remove what your toothbrush misses, give us a baseline to measure against at your next visit, and let us catch early signs of decay before they require anything more than a simple filling. For most patients, twice-a-year visits are exactly the right cadence. For patients managing gum disease or a history of frequent cavities, we may recommend coming in every three to four months.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
New patients start with a thorough health history review. We ask about your medications, any past dental work, and any concerns you have — this context matters and shapes how we approach your care. Then we conduct a full clinical exam: digital X-rays, a visual check of every tooth and surface, gum pocket measurements, an oral cancer screening that covers your tongue, throat, and inner cheeks, and an evaluation of your bite and any existing restorations.
After the exam, we'll sit down with you and explain what we found in plain language. No jargon, no pressure. If we recommend treatment, we'll explain why, what the options are, and what happens if you wait. If everything looks good, we'll tell you that too. If you've been told by another dentist that you need significant work and you'd like a second opinion, we offer that at no charge and with no obligation.

General Dentistry FAQ
Common questions about dental exams, teeth cleanings, and routine dental care in Peoria, AZ
Most dental professionals recommend a dental checkup every six months for routine exams and teeth cleanings. However, your specific needs may vary. Patients with gum disease, a history of cavities, or other oral health concerns may benefit from more frequent visits. During your initial appointment, we will recommend a schedule tailored to your needs.
A routine dental exam includes a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and mouth. We check for cavities, gum disease, and signs of oral cancer. We also take digital dental X-rays as needed to detect problems not visible to the eye. The exam concludes with a professional teeth cleaning to remove plaque and tartar buildup.
Modern composite (tooth-colored) dental fillings are highly durable and can last 5-10 years or longer with proper care. They bond directly to the tooth structure, providing excellent support. While silver amalgam fillings have a longer track record, many patients prefer composite fillings for their natural appearance and mercury-free composition.
Prevent cavities by brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, limiting sugary foods and drinks, and drinking plenty of water. Using an antimicrobial mouthwash can also help. Regular dental cleanings in Peoria allow us to catch and treat small problems before they become larger issues.
Tooth sensitivity can result from worn enamel, exposed roots, cavities, or cracked teeth. Try using a toothpaste designed for sensitive teeth. If sensitivity persists, schedule an appointment so we can identify the cause and recommend appropriate treatment, which may include fluoride treatments or dental bonding.
Yes, we use digital dental X-rays which offer several advantages over traditional film X-rays. They emit up to 80% less radiation, produce instant images for faster diagnosis, and can be easily shared with specialists if needed. Digital images are also environmentally friendly.
