"I was really nervous about finding a new dentist but the staff at Sierra Smiles welcomed me in like family. Everyone has treated me with kindness and respect every time. I'm actually looking forward to my next appointment! Thanks 🙏🏻"

Anthony M

"This was my first time at Sierra Smiles and every person I saw was extremely nice and made me feel welcome. They explained everything they were doing, each step. I was impressed with their latest technologies and their approach to overall health in addition to the health of my teeth."

Debra R

"I just love everything about Sierra Smiles! I started going to them after my prior dentist couldn't get me in for a problem I was having. Am I glad I tried them out! Their technology is more up to date than I've ever experienced before. Everyone in the office is so friendly, and strange as it may seem, because I am in and out of town so often with my crazy schedule, I love their reminder texts. I really like both of the dentists who have worked on me. They were both really gentle. I'm just totally pleased!"
