I loved it here for the first couple of years, sadly I have had a bad root canal and crown done by smile dental that I had to have Redone by another dentist. They also tried telling me that my son had 8 cavities... Took him for a second opinion and he only had one. I honestly regret referring people here because they were having myself and my son get completely unnecessary work done and we're charging for it. Very disappointing.

I was treated as a person, not a number. This is refreshing in today's world. I had a root canal, crown and deep cleaning done all in one day. The people were considerate of my feelings and comfort. I wish my previous dentist was this nice!

Went in for a consultation for braces and came out with braces same day! Orlando, Angelina and the staff were friendly and eager to assist me. I felt that service was given in an appropriate time and thoroughly explained. Orlando, especially, made my visit a very pleasant one and I could even go as far as to say life changing. Check out my new smile! Thank you Smile Dental!

Awful!! The office just want your money and prefer not to deal with your insurance company. I submitted proof of my 2 insurance cards and 1 discount dental card and they refuse to take any of my insurance cards. After arguing with the financial advisor and her supervisor, I had to pay 90% of the procedures that were conducte. Two weeks later, I am still waiting for them to submit paperwork to my insurance company for reimbursement. Please don't waste your time and money with this dental office that doesn't have adequate billing department.

Don't trust these people. Annette, their finance will cheat you out of your benefits. Do not trust this dental office. They are crooks after your insurance money or after your money by turning in faulty claims. Save yourself a headache. Go somewhere else. Annette and this dental office are scan artist. Beware!!

The next visit you have ask for Kristin. She's very polite, professional, and she's very observant. She made my visit pleasurable. She's very knowledgeable in her profession. She's by far the best that I've dealt with.

This office is so unorganized. One person says one thing and the other says a different thing. They call me every week saying I need maintenance cleaning. I finally scheduled an appointment and they said they couldn't do it because of my insurance. Yet they mad emergency take Xrays so they can bill my insurance when I didn't get anything done! Such a waste if time. Then they called me 2 weeks after that pointless appointment and told me the same thing that I'm due for a cleaning. I told them I wasn't happy with their service. But decided to give them another shot. I have to have my wisdom teeth pulled out and their oral surgeon won't do it because it's on the nerve. Well since my records don't have that noted, they refuse to give the other oral surgeon office my records. So I asked to just go pick up a copy of my own x-rays. Then the girl said I couldn't go because their office is closed. And that it would he up to the office manager on when they could provide them to me. Even if I fill out the form and request copies by email. They just want to make you come in so they can bill your insurance. They don't care about patients. I have been in pain for months and they don't care at all. Plus their office is so small and the rooms are so close. It's gross to have to get your teeth cleaned while looking at someone else getting theirs cleaned like 7 ft from you. And their prices are super expensive.
