Darryl Smith, DDS

Ive been going to Dr. Smith my entire life and I don’t have one bad thing to say about him. He is caring and compassionate in his care and his staff embodies this as well. He is beyond reasonable and fair in the treatment options he offers and is willing to work with you to ensure that everything is taken care of. I will always recommend Dr. Smith as he is the best dentist around.

Dentist charges $ 500 – 700 for x-​rays, casts, etc to be used in «treatment» of teeth which is supposed to be applied to your account. However, should you not choose (or not be able to afford) his choice of treatment, he will KEEP your money and refuse to apply it to normal dental treatment like fillings! I have contacted the State of Massachusetts as I find this so outrageous and unethical.

I was a new patient to Dr. Smith and was told that they would get me a pre-​estimate from my insurance prior to the procedure I required. As my appointment date neared they still didn’t have the pre-​estimate. They claim it was my insurance’s fault, which is fine, but when I told them that I thought I ought to re-​schedule my appointment, I was told that I would have to pay right around $ 200 ($ 100 X 2 sessions.) Now I have my bill and I’m on the hook for almost $ 600. I should have cancelled the appointment. Lesson learned… I will definitely be finding a new dentist.

I was referred to Dr. Smith 10 years ago. I could not have known how good of a dentist he is until I needed my front teeth worked on. I have been so happy with the results. I smile all the time, when I never used to. The whole office is beautiful and the staff is very nice. I highly reccomend this dental office. If you are looking for Great dentistry and a dentist who knows what he is doing go here! Dr. Darryl Smith 26 Puritan road Swampscott, ma. 781−592−1620. I would love to see more people Happy and Smiling like me!

I’m not going to go into how overpriced and unprofessional Dr Smith’s staff is (eh-​hem receptionist and billing person), let me just say that for what I spent on a crown (that was magically made in his ridiculous machine that he purchased for his fancy new office) I should not have to be replacing it only 3+ years later. I’m frustrated that he sold me a «bill of goods» by telling me he had all of this updated equipment that would laser cut my crown and I’d never need another one (at least in this decade). Thanks Dr Smith, now I’m forced to have it re-​done and spending another $ 1000 on work that I already paid you for. If I thought that I’d get anywhere forcing you and your staff to fix it, I would. Knowing what I’m dealing with there (and the attitude that comes along with it) I’d rather go elsewhere and get it done right. Save your time– and $$, there are dentists on every corner here, don’t go to Dr. Smith.

This is a great office! I am a dental hygienist and while I was in school, I assisted here one summer. I was able to see what wonderful care Dr Smith provided for his patients. He is very meticulous with careful attention to detail. This is a priority for me in my dentist. Even though I work some where else, I come here for my dental work and cleanings. The hygienists do a wonderful job. The assistant, Erica, is a pleasure to have at my side when I need something done. Everyone here is very friendly and helpful. Being in the dental field, I know what to look for and highly recommend Dr Smith and his staff.

I went to Dr. Smith under the recommendation of some online reviews (especially one which came from a family who moved to New Hampshire and still drives down to see him). I would say that the great reviews are certainly deserved as Dr. Smith & his staff are so professional and caring. It is incredibly easy to book/​cancel/​reschedule appointments and all my questions about insurances/​finances were answered fully.
As for the dental work, it is amazing! I actually like my cleanings here (they will numb your gums with the flavored gel) — they make sure that I feel ok and comfortable at all times. The cleanings are also very extensive and careful, and I always feel great afterwards — so refreshing. I have gotten composite fillings done here and Dr. Smith & assistant did an excellent job with them — from the anesthesia injections (done slowly without damaging the nerve) to the drilling+filling.
Everything is done with aplomb & competence. When they couldn’t do something –wisdom teeth removal-​, they referred me to a great oral surgery place that did an amazing job (great recovery!)
Overall, this is a great place to get dental work done. Just make sure you have enough funds because dental work in general can be expensive, and when they are as pleasant experiences as those I’ve had here, you might end up spending a lot! I never thought I’d enjoy my times at the dentist, but there you go!
