The Smile Center

I used to love coming here and would’ve given them a five rating if Dr. Kent was still actually practicing. The office has really gone downhill and it is really disappointing. Dr. Kent was very kind and competent and could always fix any dental issue that I had. Dr. Blakely just doesn’t seem to care as much and for some reason my teeth are always sore for at least a month after I have a cavity filled. When I called to inquire about this they told me that was normal, but I have never had a problem with sensitivity after filling before so I’m not sure why all of a sudden this is happening. I liked this place so much I had even referred a bunch of people to them as well, only to find out that they were given the runaround about seeing Dr. Kent. By referring to a place that has caused such a headache for my friends and family, I was made to look like a fool. I will not be returning. I do recommend Katie the hygienist, she is fantastic.

Staff is rude they spend more time talking to each other than patients also this place is super expensive … I’ve never been to a place that accepts my insurance and I still have to pay a ridiculous amount of money with any procedure.

How do you know when it is time to go to the dentist? When it’s tooth hurty! (2:30)…so funny, I know.
If you want squeaky clean teeth, massing dental chairs, happy hygienists, and a convenient location then I highly suggest coming to The Smile Center. A few weeks ago I had noticed that I had a small cavity brewing on one of my molars. Before it grew to be a fierce black hole I decided to make an appointment with a local dentist.
I started my search by looking at places near my home. When I came across The Smile Center I was so pleased. Their website was very informative and had many options for patients without dental coverage (me). They offer an in house dental insurance program for $ 99. This cost includes 2 cleanings, x-​ray, examinations, 2 fluoride treatments, and 15% off other dental work. I was so excited when I saw this plan because all of the other local places were charging a lot more for an exam and a cleaning.
I called and spoke with a really nice receptionist named Chelsea who was able to get me in the same day! I definitely didn’t mind leaving work early because I was so concerned about my first cavity.
When I walked in I was greeted with so many smiling faces at the reception desk. I filled out a few forms and was ready to meet with my hygienist. Her name was Brie and she was so funny and she made my experience comfortable and pleasurable… as pleasurable as a dental cleaning can be anyway. She took my x-​rays and did the cleaning and fluoride treatment before I met with Dr.Kent. He verified that I did indeed have a small cavity. I was so bummed but I knew it would get taken care of.
Brie was able to get me in for a filling within one week. When I came back in I had a great conversation with Tiffany while I was waiting for the Novocaine to kick in. I could have sworn that I was drooling at one point but I was assured that I was not but, I digress. It only took about 15 – 20 minutes to complete and it was virtually painless.
I definitely look forward to my 6 month cleaning because I felt valued as a patient and the process was so quick and easy. I absolutely 100% recommend the $ 99 plan to cover your cleanings for the year.
