About Vital Smiles Dental & Orthodontics

Dr. Mike draws praise for gentle care with young children and families managing multiple kids in braces, though scheduling and phone response often frustrate patients.

Vital Smiles Dental & Orthodontics is a general dental practice that also offers early orthodontic treatment for younger patients. Reviews frequently mention young children and families with several kids in treatment, with many praising Dr. Mike for calm, patient care during nervous procedures. Braces treatment comes up often too, though a number of reviews describe delays in scheduling and slow phone responses affecting orthodontic follow-up.

Summary of 200 patient reviews, August 2019–July 2026, updated September 2026

Vital Smiles Dental & Orthodontics provides orthodontic care in Huntsville, AL, serving children, teens, and adults across four area locations.

As a member of the American Association of Orthodontists, the practice addresses a range of alignment and bite concerns for patients at different stages of development. The practice offers early treatment protocols designed to intercept alignment issues during childhood growth phases. Early orthodontic intervention can address skeletal discrepancies, create space for permanent teeth, and reduce the complexity of future treatment needs. Staff members communicate with patients in English and Spanish. Vital Smiles Dental & Orthodontics accepts insurance plans and Medicaid, and provides payment plan options to distribute treatment costs over time. CareCredit financing is also accepted for patients seeking extended payment arrangements. The practice offers complimentary initial consultations to evaluate individual orthodontic needs and discuss treatment approaches. With four locations throughout the Huntsville area, the practice provides access points for patients across northern Alabama. Treatment recommendations vary based on individual diagnostic findings, age, and specific dental conditions.

Do not come here for orthodontics. Several appointments rescheduled throughout my son’s treatment. We showed up today for an appointment we got a text reminder for, to learn that there was no orthodontists so they were closed. I took time off work and wasted gas to drive to an appointment that i should have been contacted to cancel. I would give them zero stars if that was an option.

Poor customer service, I called and the lady was rude, didn’t let me finish the sentence before she gave an answer. Really bad customer service, rude staff and very poor information handling. All this bad reviews are right, this office is not friendly nor helpful.

I’ve been going here for many years and it’s overall completely unprofessional. Their procedures are outdated and caused me to need to get a root canal for the constant rescheduling of my appointments that were to fix my cavity. I’ve had to get procedures redone up to three times and there still seems to be something wrong with it. The staff is rude and I have had to wait an hour in the lobby just to have my appointment rescheduled and then only to have it rescheduled again. This is unprofessional and overall unacceptable for this place to still operate.
