The Smilist Dental – Woodside

The Smilist Dental –Woodside I have to admit is definitely one of the best place I had visit. I started to see that my gums were bleeding and my concern was to look for a dentist around my area. I called around many by me and all the appointment were booked within a two-​three months wait. The front desk staff Paula your a life saver I needed to see a dentist immediately and was able to schedule me an appointment. Thanks a lot!!! I was seen within the same week I called about my gums bleeding and getting a check-​up. I needed a check-​up after three years of not getting my teeth check it was definitely time. Now I will not be waiting until I notice something wrong and keep up to my check-​ups.
I was seen by the dental hygienist– Ana very professional and friendly. I highly recommend her for dental clean treatment. Ana explained to me what treatment I needed and even show me with teeth models what I was going to get done.
The wait was not bad as well the dentist was very detailed and even give me some tips how to floss correctly.
I highly recommend The Smilist Dental –Woodside and I already scheduled my next appointment.

I’ll be the first to admit it, I’m not the best at taking care of my teeth. What I’m really good at doing is moving to a new city, and postponing finding a dentist until I have tooth pain. I did NOT go to Unilocal or facebook to find my dentist, instead I asked around because, like you, I care about my teeth.
I got back a lot of feedback from people who simply choose the closest dentist to their apartment. I got a couple recommendations for a guy near our office, which was another vote for convenience. Then, two of my friends recommended Dr. Valentina which was good enough for me.
I called the office, told them about the pain I have and got an appointment later that week that worked conveniently around my schedule. Strolled in a little early and found out that I can just walk into the office. For most of you, this is nothing new, but I’m used to going to dental factories where they have 15 minutes to fix every issue you have before ejecting you out of the office. The rooms were big and private, which really helped me relax.
Dr. Valentina came in really cool and collected and just started chatting. Whew, huge sigh of relief. I explained that I have been having some pain in a tooth that I already have a filling in, she took a look then told me I needed X rays. So I immediately think to myself, this is going to take another 5 days to go to another office and get them sent back. Nope, they do the x rays in house… almost immediately. Boom, my x rays were on a screen in front of me and she’s explaining to me that I have a cavity under a cavity that was already filled. Ok, this is the part where I need to make an appointment in 2 months and come back right? Nope, she had time to do the work right there.
Ok, so now the panic sets in. Arms tense up, pupils dilate, bad times are coming. «This isn’t going to be that bad, do you want to put in your headphones?». What? That is an option? I’m not against office music, but I really wanted to put in some relaxing music and tune out. Pop in my headphones, a couple shots of novocaine later and we’re off. I kept my eyes closed for most of the procedure, but peeked a couple times because I’m a total badass.
20 minutes later, she taps my shoulder and lets me know we’re done. And this is where I realized she actually cared about my teeth. She asked me to bite down on some colored paper or something to make sure my bite was perfect. I’ve never had this done before. She spent another 20 minutes perfectly tuning my new filling to make sure there’s no discomfort.
I’ve since been back for my regular checkups and fillings, this time on schedule. I can’t speak highly enough for the smilist.

I started seeing Dr. Sasieta in March for my Invisalign. Less then a year later my teeth are perfect! She’s very meticulous in her work and I have the smile to prove it:) The front desk staff is very friendly and accommodating. She’s only there Monday, Wednesday, and every other Saturday, so sometimes it’s hard to get an appointment with her. But I’ve found my forever dentist!

The low rating is for the scheduling staff. I had made an appointment for myself and my daughter for the first week of December because I wanted to make sure my claims are submitted for this year’s insurance period. A few days prior to my appointment a lady called to say that the hygienist won’t be in that day and I needed to reschedule which is no big deal. They moved me to the end of the month, but a day before my appointment they called again to say that were closing early that day and they needed to move my appointment to an earlier time that day, which I couldn’t make because of another commitment. They also said that my daughter didn’t have an appointment for that day and it would be only be me, after I took the day off from work to accompany my daughter who is 5. In other words, 2015 went by and neither myself or my daughter saw the dentist, and today they called to say that they are expecting my daughter at 4pm, when I never made that appointment. Go figure! I just know that if they are that incompetent to make an appointment and follow through, I don’t want to give them my business.

This dentist has the most incompetent desk staff. They can not agree on information told to you.
First. I booked an appointment for x time as it was my first time doing so I called on day of appointment to confirm to be told they didn’t have that time available… so why did the online schedule allow for this to be selected and more importantly why did no one call to let me know?
I have been seen before with my insurance on file. The dentist I was booked to see didn’t accept is have to pay from pocket, as The dentist I seen was apparently unavailable for a month. Why would I pay out of pocket if I have insurance?
Anyway I knew by the sound of her it seemed very ‘fishy’ I called back a while later and spoke to a different girl who said my original dentist who accepted my insurance would be there in three days time. Anything to get money from people.
They also refused to treat my pregnant girlfriend who had medical clearance from her ob for dental treatment. Her tooth was broken and was left untreated.
We have both found a much better dentist in the neighborhood who can all agree on information told to patients. Much nicer and affective both customer service and treatment wise

This place is amazing for braces. The front desk staff is very knowledgeable, patient, and courteous. Claudia and Paola are nice and always willing to accommodate you. My daughter is being treated for braces. We have been coming here since April and she is super excited because her teeth have straighten. She hasn’t had any severe pain and that’s because the orthodontists are knowledgeable. One of the advantages of going here is they have a payment plan option just in case your insurance doesn’t cover the cost of getting braces.
The only downer of this place is they run out of drinking water fast. The other downer is they only have one bathroom, it’s very clean though and when going in knock and pull hard on the handle cause it gets stuck.
Overall, my experience is great. I highly recommend this place.

clean quiet nice stacf but the wait time is a pain i cam 11am left 2pm
only to have a tooth pulled out
felt like i was falling asleep in the waiting room
please clear your day they should say because you will be here alllllllll day :(

I have been going to The Smilist for about four months now for various procedures. I have always walked away satisfied and very impressed with the entire staff. The dentists are very professional and friendly. They take their time and try their best to make sure you leave the office pain free. The dental hygienists are excellent. The front desk staff is always very helpful with all matters. I highly recommend The Smilist for all your dental needs.

I had wisdom tooth surgery scheduled months in advance. This is serious surgery– it will take you out of commission for several days. I took days off work, planned my whole life around this. I called two days ahead of the appointment to see how long the surgery would last and if I needed to fast the night before… they then informed me that they are no longer open on the day of the appointment and that I needed to reschedule, either two or four weeks down the road. What a horrible thing to do to a patient. Good thing I called, or I would never have found out it was canceled! I am absolutely infuriated.
