We absolutely love it here! Our son will be getting braces installed, and they really did a great job with explaining the process.

I love that I am allowed to go back with my son while he gets his exam and this allows me to see first hand how he is treated!

Questions parents ask us most

At what age should my child first see a dentist?

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a first dental visit by age 1, or within six months of the first tooth appearing. Early visits help us catch issues before they start and get your child comfortable with the dentist.

Do you offer both pediatric dentistry and orthodontics?

Yes. SmileWorks is a dual-specialty practice — orthodontic specialists and board-certified pediatric dentists work under one roof, so your child can get cleanings, checkups, braces, and Invisalign at the same office without outside referrals.

Do you see patients without dental insurance?

Yes. Our in-house membership plans start at $324 per year for children and include cleanings, exams, fluoride treatments, X-rays, and 20% savings on additional procedures.
