I had a great experience at the dental office. The staff was welcoming, professional, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire visit. The dentist explained everything clearly and made sure I understood my treatment plan. Highly recommend

Came to Sylvania Smile Design when I developed an issue with one of my teeth. Even though I was not an established patient at the time, Kay was able to get me in to be seen the next day.
Alyssa took great care of me during my visit. She was very professional, knowledgeable and comforting. I would highly recommend seeing her for any cleaning or imaging!
I met with Dr Schmackel and he was warm, kind and explained well what was going on and what treatment was needed. I feel very comfortable with proceeding with his plan of care.

This office was amazing from the welcome when I came in to the hug when I left. Everyone was very kind, non-judgemental, friendly and professional. I would recommend their office to anyone.

Everyone is so welcoming and genuinely cares about the patients. Alyssa is always a joy. I never stress over a visit to Sylvania Smile Design. Which sets them apart from any other Dental office I have ever been to.
