Candace Hunter Wiest, president & CEO of West Valley Bancorp., Inc. announced the launch of AZ Dental Bank. This specialty group of WVNB premiered at the Western Regional Dental Convention in Phoenix this week.

According to Wiest, “Our Bank has a significant number of shareholders and Directors in the medical and dental industries. They believe local physicians and dentists are under-served and would welcome an opportunity to do business with a local Bank. As a result, we have spent the last thirty months learning about the challenges and opportunities local dentists face every single day. We believe that a Bank founded by dentists and physicians for physicians and dentists will be able to provide superior service and products because of that knowledge. We also have a Community Board consisting of professionals who serve the dental industry who have helped guide us as we formed this new entity. They will also contribute regularly to our website to provide local expertise for our clients and potential clients.”

This new entity will be headquartered at 5635 N. Scottsdale Rd., Suite 150, Scottsdale. The website is AZDentalBank.com.
