About Friendly Smiles Cosmetic Dentistry

Emergency dental problems like a chipped tooth or a loose crown here tend to get seen and fixed within a day, sometimes the same morning.

Friendly Smiles Cosmetic Dentistry is a general dental practice that also offers Invisalign, traditional braces, and TMJ treatment alongside its regular services. Reviews often mention responsive scheduling for urgent problems, from same-day crown repairs to next-day emergency visits, though a number of patients also describe billing disputes and accounts sent to collections over relatively small balances. Hygienists are frequently credited with putting anxious patients at ease, with one reviewer describing a laser filling as pain-free after years of dental anxiety. A handful of reviews point to complications with more involved procedures, including a root canal that needed to be redone and a crown that eventually required extraction.

Orthodontic care in reviews

A couple of reviews touch on orthodontic devices and retainers: one patient bought a replacement retainer after transferring from an out-of-state orthodontist but was later charged full price again when it cracked, and another described orthodontic devices being recommended but not supported once they didn't work as expected.

I've had an excellent time at this dentist and have felt very cared for the entire time I've been a patient. I even had a nasty root canal that my doctor did fix but unfortunately got infected and they did everything they could for me until my insurance rolled over so I could afford the specialist to operate on it. I think it's easy to say something is money focused, which everything is welcome to the States. But I have always treated them kindly and with the understanding that doctors and dental hygienisst are people too who can make mistakes. That's how I've always treated everyone in the office and they have even given me a free check up on the tooth with the infected root canal because they knew my dental maximum was spent. I think the work done here is great and everyone will work their best within reasonable expectations to give you their best care.

I have been coming for years, everyone is so kind and welcoming, issues are taken care of very quickly and efficiently! Any issues I have had with fillings haven been redone at no cost to me. Would recommend to anyone looking for dental care!

This dental office is money focused and not client focused. I had been going to this office for years. With the new leadership I will not be going back. I purchased a replacement TMJ guard when I asked for the same one (“couldn’t find my old chart” with the info so they guessed). I TRUSTED THAT THEY knew what they were doing and once I figured out I had the wrong guard I had already been grinding on my teeth to the point of needing them to be fixed AGAIN by them. They took no accountability for lying to me and did not work through their mistake with me. I am out thousands and have to start all over with another dentist.

Had a root Canal done by Dr Parker had to return 3 times to get it fixed due to extreme pain and now not quite 2 years later have to have another dentist redo the root canal because it is infected. Don't waste your money.

I went to friendly smiles since 2021 and got several fillings. One fell out and I had an exposed nerve/cavity and it was so painful. I went to a new dentist and found out none of my fillings were sealed correctly and I have to get them all redone. Over $2000 wasted on fillings and I have to get them all done again. I’m incredibly disappointed and frustrated. The dental hygienist and dentist at my new place said they could tell just by looking at them they were messed up and done incorrectly, which is so frustrating because I went back to friendly smiles twice with my fillings and they didn’t say that they had messed up. Don’t waste your money or your time.
