Meet the Doctors At Paradise Ridge Dentistry
McHale, D.D.S. - General and Family Dentistry
Dr. Jesse McHale loves to connect with and get to know his patients. He brings a wide range of experience to the conversation, having worked on a pit crew in college, owned and operated a landscaping business, and completed 24-hour endurance races. His passion for delivering exceptional care comes from his dedication to pursuing excellence in everything he does.
Dr. McHale was born and raised in Southern California. He earned his undergraduate degree in biology from Utah Valley University, where he also tutored students in chemistry, biology, and physics. He went on to excel in his advanced training, graduating from one of the top clinically ranked dental schools in the United States, Midwestern University School of Dentistry in Glendale, AZ.
Beyond dentistry, Dr. McHale is a man of faith and a family man. He served a two-year voluntary service mission in Cebu, Philippines and continues to serve in an active role in his church. He loves spending time with his wife and two daughters while going golfing, hiking, or playing tennis. He’s also passionate about the outdoors. Mountain bikes, jet skis, boats and just about anything that’s fast and fun.
Steven Vorholt - Doctor of Dental Surgery Diplomate, American Board of Oral Implantology
I was born in Cincinnati, Ohio and later moved to Columbus, Ohio to attend college. I graduated with my Doctorate of Dental Surgery from The Ohio State University in 2013.
Shortly after graduation I started a private practice in the Columbus area. Immersing myself in as much continuing education as possible, I eventually developed a great passion for dental implant surgery. In 2019 after 6 years of building a successful general practice in Ohio, I followed my passion and moved to Scottsdale, Arizona to take a full time position with Implant Pathway.Â
In my time at Implant Pathway I rose to the positions of Chief Clinical Officer and Lead Instructor. I created and taught the content offered in courses such as Basic Implantology, Sinus Grafting, Full Arch Overdentures, Implant Complications, 3D Printing Surgical Guides and more. I also helped over 1,000 dentists place over 12,000 implants in my time at Implant Pathway. I managed all follow ups and complications with the team at New Horizon Institute, and was also a lead faculty member for the NYU AEGD at the clinic. One of my proudest professional accomplishments was the fostering of new and seasoned implant dentists through their own pathway with dental implants.Â
In 2021 I received my Diplomate in the American Board of Oral Implantology. This distinction requires that a surgeon pass a written board exam and defend 10 surgical cases to an oral exam committee, as well as fulfilling over 800 CE hours directly about dental implant therapy. In 2022 I received my Fellow in the American Academy of Implant Dentistry and was asked to present at the AAID Annual Conference for two different workshops and lectures. I lecture nationally on all topics of dental implants and love to partake in CE from other great educators whenever given the chance.
In late 2022 I decided it was time to re-enter private practice. I now offer my surgical skillset and mentoring mindset to practices and doctors throughout the Greater Phoenix area where I enjoy the variety of procedures and offices I get to visit providing care throughout the valley.
