'Broke the cement on my permanent retainer behind my top front teeth, which can happen occasionally. Called a couple dozen dentists in Naples to see about getting it re-cemented, price quote, and could fit me in right away before my teeth could move around. Only 6 of the couple dozen dentists I called were either willing to do the procedure, or were willing to give a price quote up front. Only 3 of those 6 could get me in quickly, same week. The price quote was about the same for each of the three, and I ultimately chose Dr. Cait Smiles Dentistry because Anna (the dental hygienist/assistant who was answering the phone) was by far the most pleasant, upbeat, and helpful person I spoke with out of the couple dozen offices I called. Dr. Cait did a great job re-cementing my retainer and making sure the new cement didn 't interfere with my bite. She also gave some good suggestions and alternatives to keeping my permanent retainers and improving my alignment and bite, which I may consider.'
'Fantastic experience. Dr. Cait was very thorough and took plenty of time to explains what dental work needed to be done -- and why. Her office staff is lovely, too. I highly recommend her if you 're looking for a dentist in Naples.'
'Dr Cait is amazing!! She has cared for our familys teeth for years now, and helped us have healthy, beautiful smiles!! She is extremely adept and at the same time truly compassionate and caring. We love Dr Cait!!!'
'Beautiful lady Dr Cait Smiles is by far the best Dentist I 've had since my former Dentist has passed, her team are very professional. I can 't thank you enough for the service I had today. Thank you.'
