Services
Lakewood Smiles provides prompt, expert care for dental emergencies like severe toothaches, broken or knocked-out teeth, and infections. 
Our Invisalign service delivers a sophisticated orthodontic approach, combining discretion with precision. Patients wear a series of clear aligners that are carefully crafted to address individual dental concerns, allowing for gradual and controlled tooth movement. Lakewood Smiles ensures each patient receives a tailored treatment plan, promoting both comfort and predictability in achieving a perfectly aligned smile. 
Routine dental cleanings at Lakewood Smiles are essential for preserving a healthy, vibrant smile. Our hygienists remove harmful plaque and tartar while assessing overall oral health, identifying early signs of potential issues. This preventive approach helps minimize future dental problems, while our gentle techniques ensure a comfortable experience tailored to each patients unique requirements. 
Our teeth whitening treatments are crafted to eliminate discoloration and reveal a more radiant smile. We offer personalized solutions through both professional in-office applications and at-home kits, ensuring flexibility and comfort. Each procedure prioritizes dental health while achieving your desired shade of white. With our approach, you can confidently showcase a brighter, revitalized smile. 
Our dental crowns provide a comprehensive solution for restoring teeth affected by decay, fracture, or wear. Designed to fit precisely over the prepared tooth, each crown strengthens and protects while maintaining a natural look. Lakewood Smiles emphasizes meticulous craftsmanship, material selection, and proper alignment to achieve a seamless smile. Temporary crowns ensure protection during fabrication, and the final restoration delivers both aesthetic and functional benefits. The process prioritizes patient comfort and satisfaction at every stage. 
At Lakewood Smiles, we provide root canal treatments that address tooth infections at their source. The procedure involves cleaning the affected area, removing infected tissue, and sealing the tooth to prevent further issues. Our goal is to maintain your natural tooth structure, alleviate pain, and support optimal oral function while prioritizing patient comfort throughout the process. 
Our Pediatric Dentistry program emphasizes both comfort and education, helping children develop healthy oral care habits early on. We provide thorough exams, cleanings, and preventive treatments in a friendly environment. By focusing on prevention and positive experiences, we aim to support each childs long-term dental health while making visits enjoyable and reassuring.

I would highly recommend this place I was new patient and they provided the best detailed services. They have best hygienist and I would definitely recommend for cleaning from her and when Dr Rafail came he listened to my concerns closely and explained me right road map to follow. I would give them 5 stars.

Great experience with Dr. Ben. He is patient and has great customer service. I needed help talking to my insurance as I couldnt understand why it did not cover me for Invisalign and he stayed on the phone with me and my insurance for over an hour to talk to them directly and get to the bottom of the issue, and it was not even an issue due to him or his office.

Excellent service. I went in yesterday for tooth extractions due to some bad teeth and didn't feel any pain. Dr. Rafail did a great job and took his time to ensure I didn't feel any pain during the extractions. I'm so glad to have found a dentist who truly cares for his patients. Great service by the staff as well. Thank you so much!

Lakewood Smiles is a great place for your dental care. The team was professional from the initial phone call through my tooth extraction. Every person that I came in contact with was professional and courteous! Dr. Benjamin was friendly and skilled at his craft! I was able to have a same day tooth extraction which is rare in this industry. Thank you for taking my pain away!

The BEST experience with a dentist!! I hate the dentist and getting fillings done, but this was such a a calming and wonderful experience. Dr. Jacob was very gentle with her hands. I felt no pain with the sensitivity I usually get from cleanings or dental work in general. Dr. Rafail was very comforting and walked me through my dental plan and x-rays. They were both very professional and knowledgeable about treatment and remained conservative with their approach, which I really appreciated. Cant recommend them enough!! Stop looking and go here!!
