What I enjoy most about being a dentist is having the skills to successfully restore a patient's oral health and, as a result, the patient becomes pain-free.

I have the fullest confidence in Dr Smart and would not want to see any other dentist unless necessary.
I was replacing a temporary that broke while waiting for the permanent crown so I was seen by his exceptional assistant she's great and since Dr Smart has been my dentist for at least 17 / 18 years If he didn't rate high on my scale he wouldn't have performed dental work on me for all these years in all those visits I like how solid his team interactions are that's impressive speaks mountains in itself
Good experience
Dr. Smart along with his staff is just amazing.
Dr Smart was very friendly. He welcomed me back after I had seen another dentist.
He did a very excellent job.
Dr Smart is a great dentist and person. I feel at ease under his care and see how his staff appreciate and respect his guidance.
I so appreciated his experience! And I liked that he gave the shot without using the topical anesthetic, which bothers me much more than shots (they don't hurt).
All the staff there is amazing
Excellent experience. No pain or issue. I was treated very well. Thank you!
Dr. Smart is great! Quick, efficient, effective, with a good sense of humor.
It was an adequate explanation
Dr Smart always informs you and calms my nerves and is calm and efficient
My husband and I love Dr.Smart. He is great at what he does and is so easy going and almost pain free! (not to mention quite a character!)
Friendly, helpful, explained everything as it was being done.
Excellent
I love seeing Dr Smart. He always takes good care of me & speaks clearly to me and relaxes me sometimes with a joke or two. Im not afraid to go to him
There was no problems and no discussions
Always looking for what is best for me and my continued dental health
Put me at ease with the whole process
Did not met the dentist before he did not bother to walk to the front of the chair introduce himself or tell me who he was and seemed very defensive every time I asked a question about historical findings
Dentist and assistants are good
He had a terrific chair-side manner.
Best dentist, I ever had ! 20 minutes from the time I sat in the chair till I was walking out the door. :)
Love Dr Smart
Dr. Smart is my favorite dentist ever. He puts me at ease, he answers all of my questions, he's easy to talk to and laid back, he always makes sure there's nothing on the table to talk about before I leave. I've never had a better dentist and I don't trust anyone more when it comes to my teeth!
Dr. Smart is awesome, great guy!
Dr. Smart seems like a decent guy.
Dr Smart's expertise rescued my broken front tooth crown! He has been my dentist for 24 years and always manages to work miracles. He is very kind and caring, keeps everyone in a positive mood.
The best.
Dr.Smart is the best. Caring, thorough, and understanding. I trust him completely, and have recommended many people to see him.
Loved both the dentist and assistant.
Dentist was incredibly friendly and didn't make me feel insecure about my teeth. Explained everything in detail and answered concerns I had. Very easy going and approachable.
Dentist came in and talked for about 2 minutes. Said roof canal or extraction then said he would be right back,. Never came back. Was given a short explanation of which he would recommend. But really didn't go over any risks or benefits to each one. Dental assistant made it clear on her stance which she would do but also conflicted with the other dentist I saw previously in the same office before referred to the specialist. So instead of clarity was left with more confusion. Also brought up my concern about root canals and was brushed off that there were no risks associated. I just want honesty, to be heard, and make an informative decision with the most knowledge about each procedure, I know they see hundreds of cases a day but it's a big deal to someone who isn't used to having work done
Dr Smart is an awesome Dentist he listen to your concerns and always give you the best advice about your dental care!!
I would definitely recommend to friends or family. I didn't feel judged in any way. My dentist explained everything to me about not only my dental plan but helped me realize I needed to get my high blood pressure under control! Very pleased with my appointment
Dr. Smart was great. He's very knowledgeable and was awesome at explaining solutions for my problems. He's very nice and made me feel very comfortably despite me not seeing the dentist in over 3 years.
I've been coming to this establishment for a very long time and I am very happy with this team
He listened to me and explained the xrays,recommendations and ensured I understood.
Dr Smart is an awesome dentist!!
Waited to resolve problem with loose crown on implant, saw two dentists same day. Nothing resolved. They sent me to make appointment with oral surgeon who sent me to them for resolution. Inexcusable. I'm considering move to another provider after 25 years.
He was kind
Dr. Smart is always very upfront and thorough with his explanation of the different treatments and/or procedures he's going to be doing.
This dentist is very capable, thorough and personable.
Treatment was flawless and painless. Very pleased with the whole process.
