About Absolute Dental Orthodontics - Sparks

Multi-year braces treatment is common here, with toddlers, anxious kids, and children with special needs described as calm and comfortable throughout care under Dr. Smith.

Absolute Dental Orthodontics is a general dental practice in Sparks that also provides orthodontic treatment, including Invisalign, traditional and clear braces, and retainers. Braces are mentioned far more than most other services, and reviews note toddlers, autistic children, and anxious kids handled with particular patience during appointments. Treatment outcomes come up often too, with reviewers noting straighter smiles after braces and one case where jaw surgery was coordinated with an outside surgeon to address sleep apnea. Some reviews raise billing surprises and front-desk friction, which is worth knowing going in.

Orthodontic care in reviews

Madonna and Kat are amazing over at this office. My daughter came into her appointment very scared and nervous they were able to keep her calm. They explained everything that they were going to be doing at every point through the appointment. The staff here is absolutely amazing

My son's experience echoed Sean's experience 2 star review ... My son didn't feel welcomed by the dentist from the moment he arrived at the Sparks location. He was there because the wire on his permanent retainer broke, and his orthodontist was on vacation. At the appointment, Absolute dentist said he couldn't do anything about it, as if my son was wasting his time, though I was very clear in my description to the scheduler that only his wire broke on his permanent retainer. The scheduler told me it would be 50-75 for the consult only, so I'm not happy about the way he was treated and wasting my son's time as well. We do not recommend the Sparks Absolute Dental Location.

My experience was overshadowed by the manager’s lack of warmth and professionalism. Patients deserve to feel respected and welcomed
