What patients say about Creative Smiles Dental
With 18 reviews on Google and a 4.6 star average, Creative Smiles Dental has enough of a track record to read the patterns in what patients write. Most of the praise centers on friendly staff, and reviewers keep returning to a clean, modern office and gentle and painless care as well. Reviewers get specific about their treatment, writing about Invisalign, root canals and cleanings and deep cleanings rather than just the atmosphere.
Team members get named, with Two singled out for the care patients received. A recurring line is that the numbing worked and nothing hurt, including for self described dental cowards. When emergencies happened, patients report the office found a way to fit them in quickly. Several reviews praise the honesty here, saying nobody tried to sell them extra work. Small comforts like screens and headphones come up too. The overall impression is of a steady, well run practice rather than one riding a few glowing notes.

This review is LONG over due. My boyfriend and I love our dentist. The waiting room is very clean and tidy. The office staff are very patient and helpful. I felt like I was at a spa for my dentist appointment. You have the ability to watch the tv while getting work done. They are in constant communication with you during your cleanings and other procedures. Thank you creative smiles!
