Our daughter is 18 months and this was her first ever dentist appointment. If you have an 18 month old child, there are probably a million possibilities on how a dental cleaning can go. The staff members that greeted us were friendly. The waiting room and all exam rooms were very clean. Ms.

Cathy was extremely patient, kind and informative. Dr. Basilicato was also calm and informative. The entire experience was great and we will be back in another 6 months!

Such a great office! Everyone is friendly and knowledgeable, my kids actually look forward to their appointments and count down the days- even the youngest one who doesn't like dentists! It’s a comfortable environment and I always feel informed about everything going on with my kids teeth. The hygienist Cathy does such a great job interacting with the kids and making sure they don’t get nervous and Dr.

Basilicato is pro active in preventing future dental problems and always provides me with a detailed “report card” to bring home so I never have to worry about losing track of any developments/plans/suggestions. This practice is definitely worth our commute!

We absolutely love Smile Care for Kids! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is welcoming, clean, and so kid-friendly. The front desk staff are kind and organized and always willing to help. The hygienists are patient, gentle, and fantastic at making little ones feel at ease. Dr. Basilicato is the best - he is so knowledgeable, thorough, and friendly.

He explains everything in a way that’s fun and not scary, which really helps build trust. He takes the time to answer all questions to make both kids and parents feel cared for. Highly recommend this office to any parent looking for a top-notch, compassionate dental team for their kids.
