It is a privilege and joy to be able to work with our patients and give them amazing smiles. In many cases, the transformation can be life changing. I love working with patients of all ages, and helping them to achieve their goal of a beautiful, healthy smile. I genuinely believe that I have one of the best teams in the area.
We recognize that all our patients are unique and deserve to receive orthodontic care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding orthodontic experience every time you visit our practice.
The American Board of Orthodontics (ABO) was founded in 1929. It is the oldest and most prestigious specialty board in dentistry. The ABO's aim is to elevate the standards of the practice of orthodontia, to familiarize the public with its aim and ideals, and to protect the public against irresponsible and unqualified practitioners.
Your first visit to our office will be a free exam for you or your child. Dr. Smith will carefully examine the teeth for a wide range of possible orthodontic problems, such as crowding, cross-bite, gaps, etc. Once he has a clear picture of the most likely course of treatment, he'll discuss what type of treatment is necessary, how long it will take, and estimate the cost.

We were referred to Cedar Park Smiles by LSSC Ped Dentistry. We are so glad we came here! When you first walk into the office you're created by two very nice receptionists and they have a small kids area over to the right that have the little alcove in it where kids can sit read books or play with the busy toy that's on the wall. If that's not your kids style then over on me left hand side of the waiting room there is a TV that they can watch.

The receptionist can put on movies. My daughter watched PJ masks while she was waiting for the sedation medicine to kick in. The dentist Deepa Naik was amazing with my 6 yr old. She never got short with her when she squirmed or fidgeted. She had 3 teeth pulled and 2 crowns and a spacer put it. (Her Grandfather was exposed to Agent Orange in Vietnam.

It has caused teeth problems in our family). Dentist Deepa was gentle and always reassuring to my Daughter letting her know what she was doing in a way that wouldn't scare a small child. She was really good with a nervous Momma also. She never once was rude or unkind when I know she really wanted to tell me to shut up. LOL . Thank you so much for the gentle yet assertive care during a difficult procedure. (For both Mom and Kiddo).

Both of my kids are patients at Cedar Park Smiles. In fact, my daughter just "graduated" with her final post-braces retainer check. My son hasn't gotten his braces yet. At every step of the way, Dr. Smith has given us options and let us make the decisions we believe to be best. They take plenty of time to explain things to us every step of the way.

They even have fun contests every month for prizes, and they give rewards to kids for keeping their teeth clean, etc. We love the staff there; it's really a family atmosphere!

Best Best Most Experienced Orthodontist, especially for kids, Ever! And I can swear to that after years years of previous orthodontists and treatments. His staff Merrill Martha and everyone there super fantastic at personally caring for your child, taking care of fighting with insurance, coordinating with oral surgeon, etc. I'd rate them with 10 stars if I could. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dr Smith and his office.

A Baylor Dental graduate, Dr Steven Smith along with Dr Michael Ding completely saved my now 13 year old daughter's life by correcting her mouth deformities she was born with including severe overbite, missing teeth, teeth growing sideways under her gumline and more. All of these issues caused my daughter pain when attempting to chew her food and her appearance made her very self conscious too.

She wasn't able to eat normally because her lower jaw was so far back it prevented her teeth from meeting in order to chew her food. All she could eat without pain were noodles. After being through numerous previous procedures with prior orthodontists at Baylor Dental School since she was 4 years old they referred us to Dr Smith after we had to relocate to Round Rock for work.

It took a few years but they completely saved my daughter from a life of pain and insecurities. She not only feels amazing now because she eats like a normal kid, her outward appearance has completely changed her into an even more positive outgoing girl.

Our daughter is super excited to get her braces & expander removed! She gets her retainer today and everything. Her Orthodontist Assistant Ms. Katie is such a kind, patient, nurturing Ortho. Asst. If you have young children who are anxiety ridden and scared of new experiences, highly recommend this practice, environment, office, Dr. Smith & all the staff! Clean, kind, caring office. We have had a great experience with stage one braces, expanders and retainers with this office.

We have four children that have received orthodontic care from Dr. Smith. Our experience has been wonderful. Dr. Smith is a very gifted orthodontist and a very kind man. We love his office staff too! It literally feels like home in their office. It has a warm and comfortable atmosphere. I'm so glad we found this practice. With four kids in orthodontics, we spend a lot of time there!

We brought my daughter here based on the recommendation of her dentist and others. They are listed as in-network on our insurance website. The appointments were fine, but they of course wanted their own set of x-rays and could not use the ones that we had just paid for a week priod at the dentist. After they take all the x-rays and molds the doctor decides that if he were to try and fix my daughter's issues, it would actually probably do more harm than good.

So I give the doctor acknowledgement for being honest and recommending that we NOT proceed with treatment. Obviously if he was just out to make a buck, he would have proceeded and we would have had no idea. The problem is his back office is corrupt. They charged us for the full amount claiming it would apply against our deductible. We paid it. When I get the Explanation of Benefits from Insurance, not only did the insurance pay a portion but Cedar Park Smiles has a negotiated rate that is less than what we were charged.

Now we all know that if we had a balance outstanding they would be calling us non-stop for payment. But do you think they issue you a refund? No. 5 months later I call and ask why I haven't received a refund and Martha claims that it will be applied to my daughter's treatment. I told Martha to please review the file because the doctor recommended not to proceed with treatment so we will not be coming back.

After several minutes of convincing her to read the chart, she finally sees that I was telling the truth and that we didn't just walk away that the doctor made the decision. She then tells me that I will only get a partial refund of my money because they are not in fact in network (they are still listed as in-network on my insurance website). I work in the medical industry, so I'm not about to go to an out of network provider when there are plenty that are in network.

She then attempts to hang up on me when I ask her why she is lying and why she has held my money hostage for 5 months. She finally promises to send me the full amount. Guess which amount I got a check for, the full amount or her made up lower amount? Good doctor, crooked financial back office!

Great orthodontist! I have braces and two of my kids do. They are wonderful here. Everyone that works here are super nice. I'm seeing all of our teeth change! Yay! We are here a lot with three in braces, so we've got to know everyone and we give them a thumbs up! They are priced great, we have no insurance. They explain the process very well on payments and steps with your teeth. Highly recommend.
