    I had been going to one dentist for a few years and decided to try a new dentist last July. Experience was ok, but I wasn’t satisfied. Open care brought me to Smile Science and I’ve had the best experience there. My hygienist was amazing, friendly and very kind.

    Came in for a check in after not seeing the dentist in more than 2 years, I was put at ease right away. The staff was great, they walked me through what issues they saw and recommended treatment and did not try to sell me unneeded services. Highly recommend!

    Super friendly staff. Everyone was so great and I got to the watch The Office the whole time! Got some coffee, learned some new tricks with flossing, and was educated on what my teeth need specifically. The hygienist was amazing and very friendly. They also play great music and the front desk receptionist was extremely helpful. They’re my new go to dentist.

    Dr Monica was a very nice and goofy dentist! Her professionalism with bits of goofiness made me very comfortable. I felt at ease and comfortable asking ignorant questions to better my oral health / feed my curiosity. Definitely will go back and refer others!
