Smile Institute

I have really enjoyed the friendly atmosphere at Smile Institute. Dr. Richard Smith and Julie, the hygienist, made my trips to the dentist a very professional and positive experience. Unfortunately, Dr. Richard Smith has retired. A new dentist has taken over Smile Institute. Things are not the same.

My husband and I moved from KS to OR 3 years ago. We found Dr. Smith via a referral from our former dentist. We both have extensive crown work so we wanted to be sure to find an OR dentist with similar accreditation as our KS dentist. From our very first visit we were confident we had found the right dentist. Dr. Smith and his entire staff are amazing. The care we receive is phenomenal. Debra, the dental hygienist is very thorough and professional. The office is run with exceptional efficiency. Give The Smile Institute a chance - you wil be very pleased!

I am absolutely petrified of the dentist (or I should say going to the dentist). I went to see Dr. Smith for a second opinion on some extensive dental work needed. His office is very nice, comfortable ,inviting. The hygienist there told me she had been doing this for 30 years! The doctor was in the room during the entire appt. I hadn't even completed filling out my paperwork before I was called back. He was very thorough, understanding and helped ease my mind about the upcoming appt's I would need. He offered me alternatives to the treatments I received in the past to help with my anxiety. Very great experience. As much as I really don't want to go back. I am thankful for having a dentist I feel I can trust and be as comfortable with as possible. I have already recommended him to a friend and will continue to do so. Highly recommend Dr. Smith and his staff.

Our family has been going to Dr. Smith's office for probably 20 years or more. His work is exemplary, and he is very gentle and caring. Debbie, the hygienist, is also the best. Thanks to all the staff for your great service.

I started coming to Dr Smith at the Smile Institute 13 years ago. Because of a number of bad experiences I did not like any dentist. Therefore, when I arrived for the first visit I required a lot of dental work. Dr. Smith suggested nitrous oxide and other injectables so I could tolerate what needed to be done. After several visits I became so comfortable, most of the time I didn't require any medication to tolerate procedures. Dr. Smith and all his staff members are a skilled dental team. they are also "down to earth' warm people. I will not go anywhere else for my dental care. I recommend them to everyone I know.
