Services
Pediatric Dentistry
Our pediatric dentists provide specialized care for infants through teenagers, including preventive checkups, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants. We offer nitrous oxide sedation and hospital dentistry options for children with special needs or severe dental anxiety. The practice maintains a child-friendly environment with staff trained in managing pediatric dental emergencies and developmental oral health concerns.
Orthodontics
Comprehensive orthodontic treatment includes traditional metal braces and Invisalign clear aligners for patients of all ages. Our orthodontists address bite issues like crossbites, overbites, and underbites while focusing on improving long-term oral health. Early intervention options are available for children with developing jaw alignment problems, and adult patients receive customized treatment plans for teeth straightening.
Adult Dentistry
Complete dental care services for adults include routine cleanings, fillings, crowns, and tooth extractions. The practice offers white composite fillings and custom-colored restorations for natural-looking results. Preventive care programs emphasize plaque removal, gum disease prevention, and early detection of oral health issues through regular examinations and digital X-rays.
Hospital Dentistry
Hospital-based dental services provide comprehensive treatment under general anesthesia for patients requiring complex procedures or unable to tolerate traditional office visits. This option benefits children with special needs, extensive dental trauma cases, or patients requiring multiple restorative treatments in a single session while ensuring maximum comfort and safety through specialized anesthetic protocols.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment straightens teeth using a series of custom-made, removable clear plastic trays. This orthodontic solution addresses crowding, spacing, and bite issues without traditional metal braces. The practice offers digital treatment planning and progress tracking for teenagers and adults seeking discreet teeth-straightening options that fit their active lifestyles.

Billing is horrible. Wait is also bad. Waited 20 minutes to be seen. If you're more than 15 minutes late they say 'we probably won't be seen' yet they take longer than that to see us. After finally being called in my son was not cooperating and hygienist was impatient and rude. Will not be returning.

We love Smiles for the Future! My sons have been going to them since they were very young, around four years of age. They are kind and caring and very good with young children and that was what made us patients for life! My older son just finished with his braces and they were wonderful through that process as well. Their staff is extremely friendly and very good with all ages. It was always a pleasure to see them and I have never had any complaints, ever. I highly recommend them for all ages and all needs!

Both my toddler and I go here. Incredibly knowledgeable, gentle, patient, and kind with both of us. I have dental anxiety and hadn't been to any dentist in ten years and they didn't make me feel ashamed or guilty about that. Only four stars because they have been running a little late the few times we've been there, but I'd still recommend them.

My daughter's dental hygienist is kind, patient, and professional. She sets both me and my daughter at ease with her comforting disposition, and she gets the job done, leaving my daughter with a bright, happy smile. The office staff are welcoming and the dentists are fantastic with children.

Everyone at Smiles the Future is so fantastic! I can't say enough great things to say. All my kids have always loved coming here and I am so thankful for that. We see both the dentist and orthodontics and both have been great and really give honest opinions.
