Absolutely love the Asheville Smiles team! The front office staff are genuinely kind, helpful, and truly make sure everyone is taken care of. Over the years, they have gotten to know me and I love going in and catching up! The waiting room is cozy, and the décor is adorable.
Dr. Merrell is an absolute dental queen. She put together a comprehensive dental plan for me a couple of years ago and has consistently knocked it out, respecting both my budget and my time. I told her, “I want to keep my teeth my whole life,” and I genuinely feel confident she’ll help me do exactly that (as long as I follow her care plan and keep on flossin’ 😉).
I honestly cannot say enough good things about this practice!

I recently started going to Asheville Smiles and I love it! Dr. Merrell is awesome and my hygenist, Tracey, is the best! I had 3 cavities filled today. Dr. Merrell was so quick, the assistant was comforting and funny. I love the mouth guard they use for fillings - it keeps your jaw open and suctions the water so you are not gagging the whole time. Best experience I've had with fillings ever.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about this place! Dr. Merrell has done an incredible job at building a practice centered around the patient experience. She does such an excellent job at making people feel welcomed and calm throughout the treatment process. I love that they’re so involved in the local community. I highly recommend Dr. Merrell and her team to families in Asheville!

Been a patient for many, many years. The staff always works hard to make me feel welcomed and comfortable. Every procedure recommended has been needed and not just a sale of a service I don't need. I'm super proud of my teeth and they've never been healthier.
