Services
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic dentistry services transform smiles through teeth whitening, veneers, bonding, and Invisalign clear aligners. We address discoloration, misalignment, and imperfections using advanced techniques tailored to individual aesthetics. Patients achieve natural-looking results that boost confidence while maintaining oral health.
Emergency Treatment
We provide urgent care for dental trauma, infections, and severe pain with same-day appointments and a 24-hour emergency line. Our team stabilizes conditions like broken teeth, lost fillings, and abscesses to prevent complications and relieve discomfort promptly.
Implants
Dental implants restore missing teeth through surgical placement of titanium posts that fuse with jawbone tissue. This permanent solution mimics natural tooth function and prevents bone loss, offering long-term durability and aesthetics for improved quality of life.
Family Dentistry
Comprehensive family dental services include cleanings, fillings, extractions, and preventive care for all ages. We emphasize early education and routine checkups to maintain oral health across generations, addressing unique needs from children to seniors.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment straightens teeth discreetly using custom-made, removable plastic trays. This orthodontic solution corrects crowding and misalignment without traditional braces, offering convenience and comfort for adults and teens seeking subtle smile improvements.

I've been going to Smile Makers for almost 30 years. I request Dr Palmblad and Melissa every time. They are both amazing! My teeth are beautiful thanks to Dr Palmblad and Melissa who is my hygienist of choice. She does the most thorough cleaning and scaling that you will ever receive. Being a cash payer, which I am at the moment, Dr Palmblad has always been more than fair with what he charges for services. Mostly I look forward to Melissa. Not only does she do a great cleaning, but I love chatting with her! Going to Smile Makers is like visiting my friends! Highly recommended!

Dr. Smit is compassionate, I had a bad tooth and needed a same day emergency appointment. Dr. Smit's office manager told me to come right in, she was compassionate as well. It's so difficult to find a good dentist you can trust. I will be continuing my future dental maintenance with Smile Makers. If it wasn't for them, I would still be in pain. Thanks to them, I feel great today. Thanks again ladies. See you soon.
