To deliver this care with first-class, five-star service. To respect our patients time. To accept our patients as partners in their wellness. To assume a leadership role as a resource-- a window of information with concern for our patients overall well being. To consistently deliver more than would reasonably be expected.
Dr. Carl Palmblad is a unique kind of dentist and founder of Smile Makers. His gentle approach, combined with the valuable patient education he provides, will ease any concerns you might have. He listens intently to understand your specific needs. He then strives to provide the highest standard of personalized dental care, with three decades of experience and skills training in advanced dental technology.

Dr. Smit attended New York University College of Dentistry and graduated in 1995 with honors in comprehensive patient care (CCAPA) and Prosthetic Dentistry. Dr. Smit then completed her residency at Jamaica Hospital, where she was able to work beside the doctors, nurses and support staff who had become like a second family during her years at NYC EMS. The residency program expanded her experience to include eldercare, pediatric specialties, rehabilitation of facial trauma, and community outreach programs. She is a member of the American Dental Association as well as the New York State Dental Association.
Dr. Smit has since continued her career in eastern Long Island. It was here that she met and married her husband, and stayed to raise their daughter Samantha. They are very proud parents and Samantha has expressed a desire to become a dentist as well.

Very professional, all the staff I have encountered so far have been pleasant, helpful, understanding and takes the time to explain everything. Never makes you feel like they are being bothered. I wish I new about them years ago, this is a pleasant experience so far!

I've been going to Smile Makers for years and I've never had a bad experience. Dr. Palmblad and Dr. Smit are top of the line dentists and my hygienist Melissa is the best.

I highly recommend Smile Makers. I called to make an appoint. I stressed that I was pressed for time (I have my nieces wedding in a few weeks). I was told to come right in. I tried four dentists in the last 10 years. Not one would listen to what I wanted. Within a few minutes Dr. Palmblad started working on my issue. All the work I need will be done before the wedding. Very helpful and friendly assistant and staff.

I've been going to Smile Makers for almost 30 years. I request Dr Palmblad and Melissa every time. They are both amazing! My teeth are beautiful thanks to Dr Palmblad and Melissa who is my hygienist of choice. She does the most thorough cleaning and scaling that you will ever receive. Being a cash payer, which I am at the moment, Dr Palmblad has always been more than fair with what he charges for services. Mostly I look forward to Melissa. Not only does she do a great cleaning, but I love chatting with her! Going to Smile Makers is like visiting my friends! Highly recommended!
