Ashley has taken care of my routine cleanings for 3 years. She is incredible. Very gentle and very good at keeping me calm. This was my first visit with Dr. Lawton, she is also awesome. Very gentle and also kept me calm and comfortable. I will continue to go back. The entire staff is simply the best🦷

I decided to visit smiles only sedation dental and implant center when my regular dentist told me they couldn’t fix a cracked tooth i had and that I needed to get it pulled, I decided to go see Dr. Vredenburg because if I needed it pulled I wanted to be able to get a tooth made the same day, well Dr. Vredenburg looked at my tooth and told me he could fix it and that it didn’t need to be pulled I almost cried. Everyone in his office goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable. I forgot I even had dental anxiety. They have a client for life with me now.

My local dentist did not do implants and they were going to refer me out for the extraction and implant and then have me come back to them for the crown. I preferred not to have this done by two providers and after a thorough search, I found this dentist. I called one day had an appointment the next day and they had availability to perform the procedure that day as well. I could not ask for quicker or better service. Extremely efficient in the entire process and I had no pain during or after. Under 45 minutes to extract the tooth and set the implant. The price was very reasonable for one implant - after doing a lot of research with other facilities. To say that I had a pleasant experience at the dentist seems strange, but in fact, it was true.

I have been going to Smiles Only for years and have always had a great experience. The staff has always been very friendly! Things changed in the last two years when I had crowns put on. Within a year the crown would come off and they would cement it back on, only to find out a year later (2 year old crown) that it would come off again and they informed me I need a new crown. Insurance will not pay for a new crown before 5 years! A year ago I argued that my previous crowns from other dentists have stayed on for 10 years! Dr V agreed that I could pay half instead of the full price out of pocket. I was then told by a staff member it will now be covered under their 5 year warranty. Here I am a year later facing the same thing with a crown they put on 2 years ago. When I mentioned well at least it is covered under the 5 year warranty, Dr V said we don't have a 5 year warranty, this is after a second staff member said it would be covered. So now I am expected to pay out of pocket on a second crown 2 years after they put it in. They did mention I could meet them half way, but with this happening on two crowns after 2 years of getting them on I felt I couldn't trust that this crown wouldn't fall off again and possibly needing replacement again. I have decided to change dentists and hope for a better quality made crown that will last 5 years plus, with a 5 year warranty.

Dr. Lawton is amazing at what she does! Went in with jaw pain that I have had for months, in minutes after she gave me a Botox injection the pain was almost entirely gone. I can’t believe how quickly and painlessly she was able to treat me. I highly recommend her!! Great chair side manner and extremely knowledgeable.

Smiles Only Sedation Dental and Implant Center is located on East Tanque Verde Road in Tucson, Arizona, serving patients throughout the northeast Tucson area. The practice focuses on sedation dentistry, dentures, and dental implants, including All-on-4 and full arch implant treatment for patients who need to replace some or all of their teeth. The office is independently owned and operated, and the team emphasizes a calm, comfortable environment with personalized sedation options for patients who feel anxious about dental visits.
The practice is led by Dr. John Vredenburg, DMD, who works with a team of dental professionals to plan and carry out implant treatment from initial consultation through placement and restoration. Patients considering implants can expect an evaluation of their oral health and bone structure, a discussion of sedation choices to keep them comfortable during treatment, and a plan tailored to whether they need a single implant, an All-on-4 arch, or full mouth restoration. For Tucson area residents looking for implant care paired with sedation options in one office, Smiles Only offers a combined approach to both the surgical and comfort aspects of treatment.
Dr. John Vredenburg III, DMD, leads the dental team at Smiles Only. He believes in the power of listening and takes the time to truly understand each patient before building a clear treatment plan. After dental school, he pursued advanced training in sedation dentistry and completed a twelve month dental implant residency in Salt Lake City, Utah, giving him the skills to safely care for anxious patients and to restore smiles with dental implants. He acquired the practice in 2022 and has invested in modern technology, including an in-house dental lab, so patients can receive comprehensive care in one location. Renee A. Lawton, DMD, is a second generation dentist and a proud Tucson native. She earned a bachelor's degree in Health Sciences with a focus on Physiology from the University of Arizona, then earned her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from Temple University in Philadelphia, graduating magna cum laude, and completed a general practice residency in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. As a restorative dentist at Smiles Only, Dr. Lawton focuses on comprehensively addressing patients' dental needs, helping restore function, appearance, and overall oral health through personalized treatment plans.
