With her warm smile and gentle demeanor, Dr. Schneider, and her ‘dental family’ of colleagues create a welcoming environment for patients at both of her dental offices in Tucson. Mesquite Dental (formerly Brei dentistry) joined the Ironwood dental brand family in spring of 2023. It was a seamless and favorable addition to the family as Dr. Brei was a mentor and colleague to Dr. Schneider for many years. Her  dedication to providing quality dental care and fostering lasting relationships with patients and the Tucson community as a whole is evident in her thriving practices. Patients of all ages appreciate her attention to detail and her ability to make even the most anxious visitors feel at ease. We are lucky to have her as one of out TSG Tucson members.
