Highly recommend!! I was passing through from texas and had a tooth chip. They stayed late on a Friday to help get me in and take care of my issue. Everyone in their office was awesome. If in the area don't call anyone else!! Not many dentist offices would sneak someone in like they did especially being a new patient.

I have been seeing Dr. Bonura for two years and have recommended her to many folks looking for a dentist over the years. Her office is always spotlessly clean and in the era of Covid they are taking every precaution to ensure the health of their patients and staff. Every single person working there is great. Susan is my hygienist and always does an amazing job getting my teeth clean and giving me suggestions on better ways to take care of them. Dr Bonura is very reassuring whenever she is working on my teeth. She always lets me know what she is doing and why. She is also great a noticing what is going on and making sure I am comfortable and not in any distress. Overall, great staff, clean,welcoming environment.

I'm from out of state and had a dental emergency. I called Silver Smiles. Shelby was awesome as he explained the practice to me. Unfortunately, they are not accepting new patients. In spite of this he's scheduled me an appointment for the following week. Then I got a call about a cancellation. Dr. Bonura saw me personally and provided excellent care. The entire staff is happy, courteous and welcoming. Thank you Silver Smiles!
