I had an urgent need to have an issue looked at and Dr.Sniscak saw me that same afternoon, gave me a full examination and not only thoroughly discussed the condition with me, he also provided me with his opinion in writing along with photos enabling me to take the matter up with my primary care physician and also committed to speak with my Physician. The care and genuine interest he and his staff take during my visits is truly unheard of especially these days. Thank you Dr.Sniscak !!

Smiles by the Sea is so great that I still go there for my appointments despite living over an hour away now. I had been going there for years while I lived in Belmar, and after moving I tried a new place that was an absolute nightmare, I knew that I'd rather drive the hour to a place I know and trust! Everyone is so friendly and helpful. The cleanings are fast and comfortable and Dr. Sniscak did a wonderful job helping with some occlusion adjustments to help my teeth fit together for a more proper bite. I highly recommend them!
