    Haven't seen dentist/hygienist in 3 years. Performed full examination including looking at bacteria in a microscope with the patient. Team was kind and curious throughout the exam. I booked a cleaning and fillings for the week after my first visit.

    Dr. Manelli was excellent. Friendly, provided detailed information about what she did and what to expect. The periodontist was also fantastic. They both created a very warm and comforting environment for someone like me who gets anxious about visiting the dentist. The dental techs were also very kind and professional with their job. Extra points for the comfortable massage chair and netflix. I recommend.

    I recommend Smile Dental because they provide great service to the clients. Also, they sincerely wanted to improve the dental health of their clients. The place is also convenient and has perks that a client can enjoy such as watching a movie on Netflix, free eye mask. I also like how the staff are friendly, very accommodating and skilled.

    Undoubtedly the best dental care session I've had to date. Natiya was very friendly and caring which made it comfortable for me at the clinic very quickly. And Dr.Manelli too was kind and gave my teeth a thorough look and pointed out what's going on in there. No wonder these guys have 5 star rating on Opencare. Really happy with the session and highly recommend to anyone.

    The doctors are extremely comforting and welcoming. I had gone there for tooth pain but doctors found out something severe and advised me treatment to get that rectified. Also the prices they offer are great especially me being a student was a worry i had walked in with. I would recommend it to all my friends :)

    Dr. Manelli Hoodfar was a great dentist today. I saw her for the 1st time and she took her time to do the job right. I was there for pain on an upper tooth and she did the filling with tender care. She was great at comunicating my expectations during the process.
