What patients say about Arcadia Smiles
Arcadia Smiles sits at 5 stars on Google from 25 reviews, and recent comments explain a lot about where that number comes from. Most of the praise centers on clear explanations, and reviewers keep returning to easing dental anxiety and friendly staff as well. Reviewers get specific about their treatment, writing about fillings rather than just the atmosphere.
Taken as a whole, these reviews read like a practice that has earned its rating the slow way. Before booking a bigger procedure, ask the front desk for a written estimate and a coverage check; reviews speak to the experience, not the bill.

Dr. Balane gets an A++++++! 10,000% the BEST and COOLEST dentist in the world hands down! I have always FEARED and LOATHED going to the dentist until my first visit with Dr. Balane a few years back, he is super kind, articulate, and knows how to put patients at ease. Most importantly, he is super effective at his work and explaining the nuances of available options. I can’t recommend him enough!

Dr. Balane was wonderful. I had a filling fall out and I called their office panicked -- Virginia was so helpful and got me in as soon as possible. Dr. Balane was so kind and walked me through the process he'd use to get my tooth back to good. Thank you so much! I look forward to returning :)

The dentist’s office has never been my favorite place to be but Dr.B and his team make dentist visits less daunting. They are friendly, they make sure you are comfortable throughout the process, and they work as quickly as safely possible. 5 out of 5 stars from me!
