Krause Smiles

Krause Smiles is a dedicated dental clinic located at 560 Riverside Dr Suite A-205, Salisbury, MD 21801. The practice is primarily focused on providing comprehensive dental care for children and adolescents aged 1 to 21, as well as patients with special needs of all ages. The clinic's philosophy, spearheaded by Dr. Mark Krause, is centered on establishing a supportive and caring "dental home" where patients feel comfortable and receive exceptional treatment. Dr. Mark Krause, an alumnus of Salisbury University and Howard University College of Dentistry, has extensive experience in both general dentistry and the specialized care of children and individuals with special needs, including training in clinical and hospital settings. He took over the practice from his father, Dr. Jerry Krause, continuing a legacy of community dental care. Krause Smiles offers a wide range of services tailored to its patient demographic, including preventive oral hygiene instruction (proper brushing, flossing, eating habits, fluoride treatments, sealants), restorative dentistry (fillings, crowns, treatment for nursing bottle decay), and emergency dental care. They also provide orthodontic evaluations and interventions, focusing on early detection and correction of jaw growth and alignment issues to promote overall facial symmetry and a healthy bite. The clinic prioritizes patient and parent education, aiming to equip families with the knowledge and tools for long-term oral health and cavity prevention. They strive to make dental visits a positive experience, especially for younger children, often allowing children over two to interact with the dental assistants in an open clinical area to build trust. Krause Smiles is committed to making dental care accessible, working with various insurance plans and offering electronic claim filing for timely reimbursements. They also make efforts to accommodate busy family schedules by considering school calendars for appointments and scheduling siblings together. The team at Krause Smiles is known for their friendly, professional, and compassionate approach, contributing to a positive experience for their patients.
