Immediate Dentures
Our immediate dentures provide a quick solution for severe dental problems, allowing patients to leave with a new smile the same day. Custom-made in our on-site lab, these dentures address decayed, missing, or loose teeth through a streamlined process that includes consultation, sedation options, and follow-up care. Patients receive temporary healing dentures immediately after extractions, with permanent versions ready after three months of healing.
Sedation Dentistry
We offer three sedation levels to accommodate dental anxiety, from nitrous oxide to IV sedation. Our certified specialists ensure comfortable procedures while maintaining patient safety through strict licensure standards. This service enables complex treatments like root canals and extractions to be performed with minimal discomfort, often resulting in patients having no memory of the procedure.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic services include porcelain veneers, tooth-colored fillings, and crowns fabricated in our precision-controlled lab. Every restoration receives artistic attention to color, shape, and translucency, with options like 'Teeth in a Day' using CEREC technology. We guarantee natural-looking results that maintain structural integrity while addressing discoloration, chips, and misalignment.
Root Canals
Our specialists perform root canals with advanced technology achieving 99% success rates. Using micro-meter precision, we remove infected pulp and seal teeth in single-visit procedures that often include crown preparation. Patients receive detailed post-operative care instructions and benefit from our focus on preserving natural teeth rather than extraction.
Emergency Dentistry
Available after hours for dental emergencies like broken teeth or severe pain, our emergency service provides immediate phone triage and same-day appointments. We handle trauma cases including knocked-out teeth and broken braces wires while offering specific aftercare guidance for bleeding control, pain management, and temporary protection of damaged areas.

I was recommend this place by a member of the staff in an online group after I was having a difficult time finding a dentist that takes my insurance. And I honestly couldn't be happier! I was having a bit of a dental emergency and they were able to get me in quickly. All of the staff is so friendly and helpful. I ended up getting my tooth extracted and Dr. Geise and his assistant were great the whole time!
They made sure I was comfortable and communicated with me through the entire procedure. And Dr. Geise personally called me days after the extraction to make sure I was feeling better and healing properly. Excellent customer service, friendly and knowledgeable staff and a clean and comfortable office. I no longer hate going to the dentist!

For years, I had a fear of visiting the dentist, but everything changed after my first visit. It was painless, and I went back two more times in less than a month, which is great work, Stellar. The modern technology makes things easy and quick, and they provide very nice service.

I cannot say enough about the caring professionals at Smile Center. Dr Kent is a magician. He did a full removal of all my teeth, removed alot of excess bone that I had, it would interfere with denture fitting. I imagined excruciating pain and aches, not even close. 1% of my imagined pain. I cannot say how impressed I am with these professionals. My only regret is that I didn't find them sooner. My temporary dentures look awesome and I can't wait til my permanent are in. If you are looking for a quality, caring and professional dentist. Contact the Smile Center. You will smile again Thank you Smile Center for giving me my smile back

Kept putting off going to the dentist out of fear and anxiety. Thankfully the staff here is friendly and sympathetic. They walk you through all the procedures before hand so you know what to expect. My Dent tech Katie who did my scaling was gentle and talked to me through the procedure to calm me down and let me know how everything was going. By the end I was wishing I hadn't put it off as long as I did. Clean facility, and never have to wait long in the waiting room.
