Parents are Raving About The Smile Spot!

I called about my son having pain and swelling. They got him in the next day(Saturday)!! I appreciate that so much especially because our regular dentist never called me back about getting him in after 4 attempts and 2 days of waiting. The dentist we saw today was kind and took the time to explain our options and answered all of my questions! I highly recommend the Smile Spot! Thank You! 😁

Amber M.

Not only were the staff and administration super kind and welcoming, they also were highly understanding when it came to my son's first appointment there. He struggles with anxiety and had been nervous for his appointment for quite awhile. They picked up on this and explained things to him before they happened and while he may have cast uneasy glances at me now and then, they didn't hesitate to let him know how great of a job he was doing and made sure that he was completely comfortable. Finding pediatric care where they show your child enough kindness and patience is hard enough, finding a place that makes you feel like part of the family is downright rare. I would highly recommend The Smile Spot for any parent and we hope to be there for many years to come!

I have a high anxiety child, and they give him all the time he needs. The staff are all amazing. My child- who fights everything about tooth care- actually gets excited by the idea of coming to the dentist and that's huge. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Today we went in to get a small cavity fixed in my daughter's tooth. She is 8 and terrified of shots. She also has Severe anxiety and ADHD and the nurses and Dr knew exactly how to handle my daughter and calm her down for her procedure. They finished her very quickly and she never knew when she even got the shot. 110% RECOMMEND going here!

Delaine W.

My daughter really likes this place and the dentists. They’ve done all four of her baby teeth that needed pulled, and her cavities well catering to her sensory problems. They’ve made it a truly fear free experience for her.
