At our practice, we believe in the power of building relationships with our patients and their families that goes well beyond their dental needs. This is the philosophy that &Smiles was built on: you are every facet of yourself; a sibling, an athlete, a friend, a musician, an artist; whatever it may be, it’s all interconnected with how we embrace those qualities and transform them into lasting smiles for years to come.
