About Dr. Howard Sommers, DDS, D-ABDSM
Dr. Howard Sommers has been helping patients smile and sleep - better for over 25 years.
After earning his Doctor of Dental Surgery from New York University’s College of Dentistry, he built a thriving Manhattan practice before relocating to Scottsdale, Arizona, where he continues to serve patients with a focus on functional wellness and advanced restorative care.
As a Diplomate of the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine, Dr. Sommers is uniquely qualified to treat sleep apnea and TMJ disorders through customized oral appliance therapy - offering life-changing relief to patients struggling with fatigue, snoring, and jaw pain.
He is also trained in laser and cosmetic dentistry, IV sedation, and Botox therapy for TMJ and facial pain, blending clinical precision with artistry to help patients look and feel their best.
A Legacy of Craftsmanship & Compassion
Beyond his credentials, Dr. Sommers is known for his approachable nature and his ability to make patients feel at ease - even those who have avoided dental care for years.
Dr. Sommers’s journey to dentistry is as inspiring as his patient results. Before becoming a dentist, he worked as an ironworker - helping construct the World Trade Center in New York City. That experience instilled a work ethic and attention to detail that now shows up in every smile he designs.
He often says that dentistry, like building, requires both precision and purpose and every patient he serves deserves a solid foundation for their health and confidence.
“I’ve always believed that good work, done with integrity, lasts. Dentistry is no different.”
