Our Patients Love Smile Dental!

Comfortable care is only where it starts.

So many patients tell us how much they appreciate the individual care they receive at Smile Dental and especially in our Beautiful Smiles division

 

  • I have been to several dental appointments with Smile Dental, and every appointment has been a wonderful experience. They are very kind and considerate of your comfort. My dental work has been performed by Dr. Baker. His work is incredible, and his bedside manner is phenominal. On my first visit he could tell that the tooth he was working on wasn't entirely numb and so he worked with me to ensure that I was not in pain while he performed the dental work. You can see genuine care when working with Smile Dental. Smile Dental works hard to give you an amazing smile, and they also are a Dental office filled with smiles.

    Smile Dental's staff and Drs. are great to work with. Very personable. So thankful to have such a great clinic for our family to go to. Dr. Baker did such a great job. My wife was needing a chip repaired and he did it in the same visit as the cleaning and was very kind with his pricing. Thank you so very much Dr. Baker and your team at Smile Dental!

    I don't take the time to write a bad review unless I have a really bad experience, at which point I consider it a public duty... so that's what this is. Bottom line: based on my expereince, this guy is a bad dentist. I'm not even talking about prices or customer service or any of that. Straight up, my husband and both have pretty good and well taken care of teeth, but the work he did left us both with tooth pain for More than a year after. We each got (our first) crowns, and neither one felt right after. He gave me a few fillings that were extra sensitive and still caused me pain for months and months after. Ive had prob ten filling in my life, but had never experienced that. Also, he dropped his tools - we both experienced this! No he didn't put them in my mouth after that....but still, that did Not put me at ease! I have a friend who had a pretty badly botched procedure from him as well, worse than mine. I don't know what the deal is.....but I must highly un-recommend and wish I had read a review like this before I went. I'm going to a new dentist this month and am hopeful she can fix whatever was done poorly and give me some insight into what happened, based on what she sees.

    I had a ton of work done in a short amount of time, and Dr Baker made it so comfortable. The whole staff is amazing, kind and accommodating. Watching a movie or listening to music are options I had to help me through the appointment. Great selection of movies too! I have found the best dentist and dental staff!

  • Update review: I’ve been to a few more appointments now and still great service with no pain and good people. I had Tasha finish a deep cleaning and she answered so many questions and things to look out for I didn’t even know about. Thank you. First review: This is the first dentist I’ve been to since I was a kid and have neglected teeth. Everything Dr. Baker worked on has zero pain during surgery and after. I was prescribed pain meds but they’re still in the bag 24 hours later. I will be coming back for as long as I can. Thank you a million times over.

    Dr. Baker and staff are unbelievable, I’ve never had a dentist literally sit down and go over every aspect of my dental history and what things I wanted done. Yes I sad DENTIST not dental assistant, taking that extra 5 min was a game changer for me and I’ll never use another dental office again. The day after having preemie twin boys that were in the nicu, I got the worst abscess cavity and was in so much pain but smile dental got me right in and got me on antibiotics which saved the tooth and allowed the pain to go away so I could be there for my family. The transparency and quality of there work goes above and beyond any other dental office where they make you a number not a person. I can not recommend this dental office enough!

    I came into this dental office really desperate. I've had my porcelain veneers for almost 15 years now. My prior dentist wanted to replace all and ruin me financially. My first procedure here was the removal of a dead tooth in b/w my veneers. I was dreading this experience bc that tooth was so sensitive. I went in and Dr. David removed that tooth. The local anesthetic is a big deal for me. I didn't feel so much as pinch when gave me the shot(that takes some skill, folks). I am now getting that tooth replaced with a crown. Sheslay assisted dr. David in the temporary crown "installation". This is not easy at all. She literally has to shape and mold a temp tooth in your mouth that will last for several weeks. I've had horrific temporary teeth in the past, and this is by far the best i've had. I even got a compliment. I recommend this place to people that want quality work done. They also send the crowns off to be cut. Don't be fooled, many offices advertise in house crowns, but are they quality? I go back in on Feb 5 for my new crown. I am actually excited for the appointment bc I love this place.

    Dr. Baker at Smile Dental is an excellent dentist who truly cares about his patients! I had quite a bit of work to do (including a root canal) and he made sure every single one of my visits was absolutely painless! He always took the time to explain everything and made sure I was comfortable while he was working on my teeth. Now I am looking forward to doing some cosmetic work - which is something that I wouldn't even consider before coming across dr. Baker and his team. Spending more time than absolutely necessary at a dental office was not something I would have sign up for in the past. Now, I am actually looking forward to staring the process and straightening my smile. He is also great with kids! He is very patient, kind and knows how to talk to them to make them feel comfortable. I also wanted to mention Tasha (dental hygienist who does all of our cleanings)! She is very caring, detail oriented and does an amazing job every time. My kids always look forward to their visits! The office itself is always clean and all the staff is very welcoming. We don't have dental insurance and found their prices to be very reasonable. They also offer Membership Plans which include free cleanings, x-rays and discounts on treatments.
