I had the most pleasant experience today! Dr. Ken removed my wisdom teeth and was so gentle and made me feel very comfortable and at ease, as these kinds of things can be intimidating to many people. The procedure was quick and painless. His assistant Audri was very sweet as well :) If your looking for a great dentist this is the place!

Love going to A Lifetime of Smiles! I've never had a good experience at many other dental offices. This place is very welcoming and the staff is just great. Dr. Pat and Jenna recently did my fillings. It was thorough, quick, and comfortable. The staff and Dr's are great at keeping the environment light and fun. I will continue going there!

This dentistry corporation not only has given dental operation to somebody very near and dear but has also failed to realize that the operation has caused a great debt to a low income family. A lifetime of smiles will charge you thousands of dollars for an operation and it is not worth the time or money for their services. If there’s no payment on a designated time suing will be in debt, a bond is posted if you miss a court date. Ultimately say the head of a household with children needs dental care ASAP, you will then be taken in and if there’s no money to support a dental fee this cooperation will take it out of the bank account that is supposed to pay for the roof over a head.

A lifetime of smiles will not care if the operation was faulty and will sue anyway, possibly rip a family apart. It is not a lifetime of smiles when the father of a family is behind bars for money over teeth, so get the right dental coverage.

First and foremost—the best dentist office I have ever been to!! I have always been so nervous going to dentists. Dr. Pratt made me feel so comfortable and he is a funny guy which is a plus in my book!! My first visit they showed me around the office and Dr.

Pratt and his staff were amazing at what we needed to do and made a plan to get my teeth healthy. My second visit was my procedure day and I was so nervous. Dr.

Pratt and his assistant, Holly, made me so comfortable and the nitrous oxide helped too 🤭😁! When I went to go pay for my services the front desk girls were amazing about asking how I was. They made it an extremely easy checkout! Oh! And I can’t forget the amazing warm chocolate chip cookies Toni gave me on the way out! They checked up on me the next day also which is always a good sign you are at a great dentist office! So, if you want a warm, comfortable, and fun place to take your family this is the place! My family of 4 will now be going to Lifetime of Smiles 😊
