What our Patients says about us!

Krystal R

I have been a client of Smart Smiles for 9 years. There are many places I can go dental services but Smart Smiles offers excellentCustomer service and care. The facility is state-of-the-art, clean and the staff is always friendly and professional. I am in and out in an hour or less for most services; if it will be longer for extensive work, it is always explained to me beforehand. All of my questions and concerns have been addressed in a manner that I can understand. I would recommend this place to everyone!

Dr. Lena Casimir was wonderful. She was incredibly friendly and took a moment to learn about myself being a new patient to her and new to the area. She provided great advice for my interests and then continued to provide the service I needed to have done. My teeth felt so much better after visiting the office, and I'm looking forward to another check up in 6 months time!

Neesath S Customer since 2016

I selected Smart Smiles because it was in my insurance coverage and because it was very convenient to get to but honestly, I would choose Smart Smiles even if neither of these were true. I've dealt with dental offices that are way too pushy in the past but Smart Smiles was the complete opposite. Everything was relaxed, my cleaning was done quick and comfortably, and the Dr. talked through her thoughts with me. She left the decisions up to me and didn't pressure me into anything. I'm looking forward to a long and healthy relationship with Smart Smiles!!!

All the office staff is very friendly and Dr. Casimir does great work. I've had cleanings, cavities and one root canal and all have turned out perfect! The staff is more than willing to help assist you with working with your insurance company to have a clear understanding of major restorative work that may need to be done. I'd recommend her to my friends and family in a heartbeat!

Tracy L Customer since 2013

The cleaning that you get here with the Doctor is second to none. She uses an electronic cleaner that I have never had one on before (the last time I was here), and the cleaning feels like nothing I have ever gotten from people who use the manual scraper.....this is hard core and deep for sure and REALLY feels like a cleaning!!! Try it, you will not be able to go back and still feel like you received a cleaning=-)

The service I have received thus far at Smart Smiles Dental has been great! They respond quickly to appointment requests and the doctor makes you feel like you are her main priority when you get there. Dr. Casimir answers all of your questions, provides you with information regarding your treatment and will refer you to a specialist if necessary. I would recommend checking her out if you are in need of a dentist.

Dr. Casimir and her assistant took such great care of me! I received the most thorough cleaning I have ever received in my 43 years. They also did a full mouth xray and were able to share some insights into my gums/teeth that I had never heard before. I will definitely be recommending Smart Smiles to my friends. Thank you for your generous service. They also took care of my daughter who is 9 and she loved it. She even received a fluoride treatment as a generous part of their package. Thank you!!!!
