My first visit with Colby Smith was a genuinely refreshing, professional and welcoming experience. I was greeted by Vicky and Kim with kindness in a pleasant and professional manner. I appreciated the Covid-19 precautions taken and the sanitary conditions. When I met with Colby Smith, he was very thorough and thoroughly explained each step of the examination. I was amazed at the technology used to X-ray my teeth. He made it possible to view each tooth and described the areas of some concern. He gave me the options and I decided to move forward with the necessary treatment. I was able to come in the next day to have the crowns and filling performed. This was all performed in one visit and due to the technology he had available in his office, I was able to see the crown being honed with precision and accuracy. His dental assistant was such a joy and she made the time go by so fast. She was experienced, conscientious and meticulous. I am thankful I found Colby Smith and his outstanding staff.

I am happy with my dental care at Granite Bay Dentistry. Dr. Colby Smith was an instructor at UCLA before he moved here with his family. He is using the latest technology. The staff is congenial and supportive. I do not have dental insurance but I have used the practice's monthly pay plan that covers two cleanings a year with a dental consultation each time and a 15% discount on most needed procedures.

From my initial request for a same day appointment, the ease of completing my intake paperwork electronically, the not having to wait once arriving, the engaged, good natured and professionalism of my hygienist, Brittany, the care I was provided being in pain and the excellent, non-rushed discussion with Dr. Smith made my visit exemplary. I'm grateful for the care I received at Granite Bay Dentistry.

After many decades of receiving dental care, here I found the best. Not the least of note in my visit was a completely pain-free (really!) filling. This was along with a thorough, wide-scope exam, fluoride treatment, and smart analysis and advice. I found Dr. Smith tops in knowledge and sharing, having a great "bedside manner" and a great staff. Careful thought is evident throughout the office, there is impressive modern gear, and a friendly atmosphere is everywhere. It all comes down to "Outstanding." New. 9.26.22: Cleaning. Highest-level care by professional staff, and Dr. Smith.

Recently our son Josh had his teeth cleaned at Dr. Colby Smith's office. Tiffany the hygienist did a wonderful job cleaning his teeth and taking X-rays. Josh has cerebral palsy and is hypersensitive to touch. Tiffany was extremely sensitive to his needs and very respectful to him as was Dr. Smith.
