If you need implants this is the place. Dr. Smith is very knowledgeable. I had two surgeries that went smoothly. The office staff are always so polite and accommodating. I've got to shout out Kyler for taking care of me on each of my many visits. 5 stars 🌟 all the way!!

I came to this place recommended by my sister (she had better luck than me) I had a front tooth that broke after a malpracticed root canal The tooth decayed and broke completely, after 5 years It was an emergency case I didn’t want to have my missing tooth I went to another doctor that charged me a lot less, but due to the recommendation I decided to go with them I had no insurance. Had to sell a few things to gather the $8000 that the implant would cost. They refused to give me a payment plan despite the process was expected to last a minimum of 6 months . (A sign the only thing they care about is MONEY) They are not compassionate like they claim. They discriminate against you based on you financial status At the beginning everything went good. I CANNOT complaint. The reason why you would see only 5 Stars Reviews. They show the true color AFTER There was a infection on the remaining part of the tooth, “Doctor” Smith recommended me to wait 4 months. Then he place the implant.

Then to wait for another 4 months I came back and they made wait for 2 more months The reason is because they work with a lab that imports their supplies from China. “ Doctor” Smith said that there was a shortage of abutments “Made in China” (They import supplies from China but they charge big US Dollars. (Is this an Honest practice or not; I will leave it up to you) No abutments available in The USA, no choice. I had to wait Until this I was patient and waited no complaints Everything was going Good. No complaints except for questioning about the quality of the materials they would use Finally the abutment came They scheduled with the lab The crown was placed and it fitted crooked Despite taking impressions several times I didn’t accepted the crown because it fitted short and crooked THIS IS WHEN THEY REVEALED THE TRUE COLOR After arguing for a while they agreed to take the crown to repair it. I asked them to make a new one. I didn’t feel it was FAIR having paid for a “repaired “ crown when they could easily make a new one to the right size. I waited for maybe another month. Then the REPAIRED CROWN came It was the same crown they brought before.

Except it was a little longer I was already DESPERATE. It had been 11 months since start I needed to travel to my country and needed the crown I didn’t want to go toothless; after having waited for two long Not to mention that during these 11 months I had been wearing plastic retainers because they failed to make a partial to cover the missing tooth They tried several times to make a partial fake tooth When they failed, Kyler blamed the way my teeth are. Making me feel like I am abnormal. An ADEFESIO I traveled to my country with the crown that it was not right but was better than NOTHING When I returned I went to this clinic so they can have the Lab correct the crown and make right Because there’s a gap between the crown and the adjacent tooth (on one side) and the crown is really tight against the adjacent tooth on the other side almost impossible to floss THE CROWN IS NOT CENTERED & CROOKED This “doctor “ refused to do anything to correct it Despite I even offered more MONEY in case the lab wanted to charge more. He had the balls to call me a LIAR when he is seing that the crown is crooked and tight against on tooth and gapped on the other side He doesn’t even have the courage to discuss with me but he sends Kyler and the lady on the picture This lady is arrogant and disrespectful She is totally unaware of the case since she was not the assistant. How can she argue and mistreat me when had no clue about the case The deal was between the “Doctor “ and I. He should stand behind his promise. But they lie They gave me a warranty of 5 years It’s only been 6 months after they placed the crooked crwon and they refused to do anything According to the contract: The 5 years warranty included First year, I wouldn’t pay any additional fee Second year 20% Third year 30% and so on 6 months later, there is no WARRANTY It’s easier for them to blame my teeth

I have been seeing dental hygienists for over thirty years, and I can confidently say that Doris is one of the best I have ever encountered. From the moment I walked into the clinic, her warm and welcoming demeanor put me at ease. Her professionalism and attention to detail are unmatched, ensuring each cleaning is thorough and gentle. Doris takes the time to explain every step of the process, answering all my questions with patience and expertise.

Her genuine care for her patients' well-being and personalized advice on maintaining oral health between visits make a significant difference in my dental routine. I highly recommend Doris to anyone seeking top-notch dental care.

Best dental hygienist in the business. We could use here at the VA. Dr. Smith's practice with Hygoenist Bisi is the best. It doesn't get any better!!!
