Just went in for their fitted mouth gaurd making day. They ask for donation to make the mouthgaurd, that is then donated to Gleaners Food Bank...love that! Locals helping locals! A great sense of community! First time here and everyone was so friendly and polite, especially the Dentist! Considering changing my families regular dental care to this place, based off our first impression. Thank you!

Take the stress out of dental visits by visiting the Hartland Smilemakers. You would be hard pressed to find a more professional dental staff and support crew to take the anxiety out of going to the dentist. My wife and I have been more than satisfied clients for over 10 years. They're caring and treat us as if we're family. They'll do the same for you, too!

I have been a client with Hartland Smilemakers for the past 15 years and I would not think of going anywhere else. Dr. Chris and his staff are all professional and caring. Recently, Dr. Joel joined the team as well and he and Norma have also done a great job in meeting my challenging dental needs. If you're looking for top notch quality dental care, then look no further.

The whole office was fantastic! I had severe tooth pain like I had never experienced before & my dentist wasn't available. I called Smilemakers at 7 am when they opened because I had been unable to sleep due to the level of pain. They got me in right away! Which was amazing because I was a new patient. When I arrived Shayna & Dr. Kerwin told me I needed a root canal & a new crown. They took care of it right away & Dr. Kerwin took the time to explain everything that needed to be done based off of the xrays. He was very knowadgeable & patient answering all my questions. I have now found my new dentist & will not go anywhere else from now on. The level of care I received was amazing. I felt that everyone I interacted with truly cared about my tooth pain & wanted to fix it. Best of all I am pain free & can sleep & eat again. Would reccomend this office team to anyone looking for a caring experience. They are amazing!

Hartland Smile Makers came highly recommended by a friend at a moment of intense tooth pain. They got me in right away to help relieve me from pain on short notice due to me leaving on vacation in just a few days. The team is beyond friendly and attentive. Dr. McDaniel even texted me later to see how I was doing. They go out of their way to show they actually care about their patients and genuinely want to help and take care of what ails you as soon as possible. I couldn't be happier about find Smile Makers in a town where there seems to be a dental clinic every 500 ft for a stretch down M59 in Hartland.

Before coming here, I always had a fear of the dentist. Everyone at the office has made me feel at ease and I cant imagine going anywhere else. The office is very clean and my fear of the dentist is finally disappearing. The only thing I would change would be the fact that I should of switched over to Hartland Smilemakers sooner!

We just had our first visit and I cannot say enough good things about this business and everyone there! I've already recommended them to a friend! I had to switch my young children from their pediatric dentist because they could no longer accept our insurance, and Hartland Smilemakers was recommended to me by several others so I decided to check them out. My three year old has never been a fan of the dentist. Her visits only consisted of sitting in my lap as they checked her teeth and then did a quick brushing- not even the actual cleaning. She would cry and scream the entire time, but I figured it was a pediatric dentist and they specialized in children so it was the best it could be, right? Well today, she didn't even shed ONE tear. Everyone there made my girls feel like stars, and like we've known them all for years. Super warm and friendly staff! They let my youngest watch her older sister get her X-rays and exam done, and then sit next to her and watch as they did the cleaning. She was only supposed to be there for what they called a "happy visit", but ended up actually sitting in the chair all by herself and get her very first real cleaning done, and willingly! They were so good with her, told her she was the boss, showed everything to her and explained each step they would do; I was amazed at how well she did and how everyone interacted with both of them. So happy that we chose Hartland Smilemakers!

The entire staff is competent and courteous. It would be helpful if Hartland Smilemakers war a provider for more insurances. Prices our on the high side.
