First time at SmileLand Dental and it was amazing! Carmen, Sandy, and Tatiana were very kind, welcoming, and patient with my son. They took time to talk him through everything, answer his questions, and listen to his endless commentary. Thank you SmileLand!

Alina loves going to the dentist thanks to the staff. Starting with the front desk Arianna! Very welcoming and professional!! To the Assistant Johellen, making my daughter feel good that she's doing a good job getting her teeth clean and talking to her making her feel real comfortable.

We had a great first-experience with Dr. Karim!!! We were so nervous taking our 18 month old son but it was honestly not that bad because of the kindness of all the workers, the aesthetics of the place and the distractions like a movie playing on the ceiling, and prizes they give you at the end like a balloon and stickers! We are so happy we chose this place :)
