About Oral Health Center of Delaware Affiliated with The Smilist Dental
Anxious and dental-phobic patients often mention feeling at ease here, with Dr. Smith and Dr. Nguyen praised for calm fillings and extractions in Wilmington.
Oral Health Center of Delaware is a general dental practice that also offers Invisalign, traditional and clear braces, clear aligners, and TMJ treatment, though most visits reviewers mention are routine dental care rather than orthodontic. Many reviews point to gentle handling of dental-phobic and anxious patients, including injections described as causing little discomfort and calm extractions, plus same-day emergency appointments being accommodated. A handful of reviews describe billing confusion tied to a corporate merger and inconsistent front-desk communication around scheduling and payments.

I had such a great experience at this dental office! My visit was completely pain-free, which made a huge difference for me. Dr. Smith was incredibly gentle and calming throughout the entire appointment—I felt at ease the whole time. Annie, the dental hygienist, was just as amazing. She really took her time and made sure I was comfortable, and she explained everything clearly. I especially appreciated how she gave me helpful advice on proper dental hygiene and how to take better care of my teeth moving forward. The whole team made this a positive experience from start to finish. I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for a caring and professional dental team!
