"It's been an easy, comfortable experience letting them do my dental work. They have "state of the art" equipment and experience."

- Gary Ellis (Verified by PlacidWay)

"I am very scared of going to the dentist, and I feel so much shame and embarrassment because of how bad my teeth are. But despite that the people at Care Smile Center made those fears disappear. I still have a long road ahead, ???? I see the light at the end of this dark tunnel because of them.
Francisco was wonderful in the way he explained things to me. Ricardo has made communicating with me effortless and he's the whole reason I even chose this place. I am glad I did! I recommend them to everyone. I got to see the lab and all behind the scenes. The transparency and kindness, I hate to say, is just not something you see at most dentists in the US.
Thank you so much Care Smile Center and I cannot wait to get my treatment plan done and have the Smile of my dreams and to actually be able to chew my food again ????"

- Shelby Brant (Verified by PlacidWay)

"Care smile has done a great job for me. Not finished yet,but their work has been very efficient and professional. I'm not comfortable in the dentist chair, but this has gone well.
Very impressed with their customer care and accomidation.
Thanks Ricardo and everyone else."
