About Creating Smiles Dental
Fast, efficient visits and a knack for smoothly picking up Invisalign or braces cases that patients started elsewhere.
Creating Smiles Dental is a general dental practice that also offers Invisalign, clear aligners, and traditional braces alongside routine care. Reviews often mention quick, efficient appointments, from same-day repairs to fillings finished in under an hour, and several patients describe transferring mid-treatment and continuing their Invisalign plan without disruption. Dr. Brayer and Dr. Phane are both mentioned for explaining procedures and options before starting, and for a gentle approach with anxious patients, backed by comfort measures like warm blankets during procedures.

If you’re reading reviews to help sway your decision for a dental office, you can be done now. Creating Smiles has beyond exceeded my expectations. As a self proclaimed dental weenie, I can truthfully say that the staff is extremely accommodating and you couldn’t ask for better people. Dr. Brayer listens and addresses all my questions, and Tiffany is like having a best friend in the office! Highly recommend this place!
