My little one (6) needed a crown and some fillings that required "laughing gas". The staff were very sweet in explaining all aspects of the anesthesia process. My little one was especially excited about getting his own tablet to pass the time, while the medicine took effect. The Dr. was very nice and personable & also explained the entire process

First off, this office is beautifu,l very clean and welcoming. The staff is excellent, kind and patient. My 15-year-old son has big fear of the dentist because of a previous experience, this is the first time I've ever seen him feel comfortable in a dentist office.

My twin boys have been patients with Little Smiles for a few years now. We transferred to them after a scary experience elsewhere. Since day 1, they've been nothing short of amazing!! One of my boys had an anesthetic procedure done and they really check all the boxes. I was left with no questions and peace of mind that my boy was in the best hands! The Front-end staff, Dental hygienists and Dentists are all top tier and the office is always so clean and comfortable!

Have to give a shout out to MG!! Shes the absolute best. My boys have had her a couple times now and they love her and so do I. She goes out of her way to make them feel comfortable, always has them laughing, explains everything in a way a couple of 6 yr olds will understand and is just so nice and personable. Today my boys saw Valeria and MG. They were both so great and even included dental exams on my boys stuffed animals.

Little things like that, along with great conversation, really help pass the time (not that we wait long ever! They always get us in and out so fast) and turn a simple dentist appointment into a great experience! We love this place and recommend them to everyone I know with kids!!

Always treat my kids with great care. Always make sure my kids feel comfortable when they come in for a cleaning. Also the ladies in the front desk always very attentive and professional.

Been taking my daughter here for a few years. Had to move locations, my daughter required extensive dental procedures done and her normal primary dentist didnt offer anesthesia this office did so ever since then we have been coming here. Every step of the way they were extremely helpful and reassuring. They even checked in on her after her dental work and called to make sure everything was progressing properly.

All the ladies who work here are very friendly with the parents and exceptionally patient with the children. If you have a young one or have a child who's afraid of the dentist this is definitely the place to go.

This office is trained to lie to the kids and the parents about what will happen to them during certain procedures. They will not tell you or the kids that they will get a shot when going in for a cavity fill. They literally never give you full information. My kids' friend had the same experience, and was absolutely traumatized. I would never ever recommend this dental office.

We had been going to Little Smiles in the past but due to insurance we had to switch to another dentist for some time and that was not pleasant. Thankfully our entire family has been back for a few years now and we love them. I appreciate the fact that we can all go to the same place for our services. The entire staff has always been very kind and professional and has eased my child's fear of the dentist. We are always greeted with a smile and they are always on time. We love them all!
