Fantastic experience: Excellent Dentist Excellent Staff. if you need ANY kind of work it's worth the trip to drive 100+ miles to see him! he is absolutely fabulous and CARING. Every procedure I've had with him has been painless. He's filled cavities pulled teeth & I felt no pain whatsoever! I am very happy with everything. Does great dentures! The staff is so nice and loving and caring. They remember everything about you every time you come there. The Doctor is very patient, explains procedures, make sure you're comfortable before he begins, and always make sure you're doing well as procedure is progressing. I loved watching food network in his chair! now thats classy! The best in Arkansas. i keep few extra of their business cards in my bag in case somebody needs a real nice dentist. They are THAT good. Get you a checkup today and let him help you. Also...... The dental hygienist is extremely gentle and kind. Jenny

Fantastic experience: New smiles dental is the first ever place that didn’t make me feel ashamed of my teeth, instead they gave me so much encouragement and kindness and I honestly feel my appointment couldn't have went any better. The lady doing my X-rays was beyond amazing and so nice and the dentist himself was very friendly caring and understanding. At new smiles dental you can tell they truly do care about you. I feel very comfortable at this place and plan to stay with this dentistry for good!
Fantastic experience: My favorite place. I've been using this office for years. Between the manager, the hygienist and the front desk- immaculate and the best around. Dr. Lopez has one of the best offices. 10/10

Fantastic experience: Very friendly and professional staff. It’s a joy every time I see them.
Thank you Bruce! We enjoy seeing you too!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been to New Smile Dental a few times now and Dr. Lopez is fantastic. He has such a calming energy that makes you feel safe, which means a lot because I usually get anxious about dental work. Rashida is the sweetest dental assistant. She is supportive, kind, and always takes the time to explain things. Diana did my cleaning and when I say she really cleaned my teeth, I mean it! She was so thorough and I appreciated that so much. There’s also another assistant (can’t remember her name, sadly!) who always talks me through my anxiety, and it helps more than she probably knows. All around, the whole team here is top tier. They listen, they’re caring, and they make getting dental work done so much easier.
Fantastic experience: I am a very nervous dental patient and they were very kind and empathetic. I also was in and out very quickly. I definitely recommend!
Thank you Cynthia! We understand that not everyone looks forward to going to the dentist, but we do try our best to help ease any dental anxiety we can.
Fantastic experience: Great people and an enjoyable environment
Thank you Josh! We truly appreciate you and your family! It's been a pleasure meeting your dental needs!
Fantastic experience: Professional, efficient, and thorough. I was in so much pain with a broken filling, and when I called Dr. Lopez's office, they squeezed me in the next day. The tooth was too badly damaged to save, so it had to be extracted -- tell me how an extraction turned out to be the best dental experience I've ever had! The whole procedure took less than half an hour, and I experienced very minimal discomfort. I made an appointment for a cleaning, which was supposed to be two months later. I got a call within a few weeks that there was an earlier opening, so I was able to get that taken care of with no hassle. The hygienist did a wonderful job and gave useful advice on how to best care for my teeth, considering the amount of black coffee I drink. The staff does great work! For quick, painless care, New Smile is the place to go. Thank you, Dr. Lopez!
Thank you Sam for such kind words! It has been a pleasure to help you with all your dental needs, and look forward to helping others as well!
Fantastic experience: I am so glad I found Dr Lopez and his team. Not only do they do amazing work but they all genuinely care for you. He’s very gentle with you and always explains everything before he starts working. The atmosphere is very clean and calming. All in all I rate this place 10/10
Thank you so much for your kind words! We appreciate your confidence in our dental team, and look forward to taking care of you!
Fantastic experience: This place has been great to me. Love the staff. I'm crazy when it comes to my teeth. Well crazy scared of everything and they made it easy and painless as possible. I truly appreciate that. I have referred my mother to them as well, and she got the same treatment. Thank you New Smile!
Thank you so much for you confidence in our dental team! We love to simplify our patients' dental needs and to help ease their worries. It's wonderful to hear that it's working!
Fantastic experience: I had a tooth extracted and removed with no pain afterwards . I expected some discomfort but nothing at all literally just the hole in my mouth . To say the experience was great and they did everything so fast . Mr Lopez was kind and courteous. Helped me through a very embarrassing situation of losing teeth.
We know that losing a tooth is never easy, but we were happy to help. Thank you for your kind review!
Fantastic experience: This has got to be the BEST DENTIST IN FORT SMITH ARKANSAS. I’m sure of it. He and his team took the time to not only make me feel comfortable, but had the knowledge to answer every question I had. I was being childish and was bashing my old dentist, they couldn’t find a bad thing to say. These are elite people and staff members. 10/10 would recommend. I would give them 1000 stars if I could.
Thank you so much Christian! We appreciate you and your review, and we look forward to seeing you again soon!
Fantastic experience: If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. The words to discribe this place have not been invented yet. Dr Lopez is absolutely amazing. He is kind, caring, gentle understanding, engaging, and he knows his stuff. Tonya, there are not enough words for her. She can never leave or I would be lost. I am literally switching my insurance just to keep him , because I refuse to see another dentist. My children have said that if they move,he has to go with them. If you are not going to Dr Lopez, then you are going to the wrong dentist.
Thank you Amy! We appreciate you and your family. It's patients like you that make what we do worth it all! We look forward to seeing you soon!
Fantastic experience: Great service! Everyone is so nice and patient!
Thank you so much! We're glad your dental appointment went so well!

We were so happy to help! Thank you for taking time to review us!

Thank you Jessica! It was a pleasure meeting you, and we're so glad you had a wonderful experience!
Fantastic experience: Amazing is all I have to say. It is the most comfortable dentist I have ever been to. The team is so nice, patient and understanding. I don't plan to go anywhere else. I have switched my household over and I am happy . My 7 and 3 year old had their first appt today and they were both very comfortable. 20/10 I recommend!
We were so happy to meet you and your wonderful family, and are looking forward to seeing you all again soon!

Fantastic experience: Dr Lopez and his staff were very friendly and helpful for my first dental appt and cleaning. They told me exactly what I needed and how much it would be without trying to add on any unnecessary procedures. The assistant who did my X-rays was very gentle and friendly. The dental assistant who did my cleaning was very gentle during the entire process. She listened and answered any questions I had. Dr Lopez was also very gentle and informative during my fillings and exam. The receptionist was very friendly and informative on the best options for teeth whitening and aftercare toothpaste options. All in all a very excellent practice to get your dental hygiene needs met. 10/10 would recommend and will be coming back for my biyearly cleanings. Thank you new smile dental for such an excellent experience!

Thank you so much Javier! We appreciate you!
Fantastic experience: I have been going to New Smile since 2009. I see them at least twice a year and sometimes more if I need more than just a cleaning. Without exaggeration, every single time they have been courteous and accommodating. They are honest and never have I questioned what has been recommended. They are also considerate of my time. I seriosuly cannot think of a time where I waited more than a few minutes. I've had a couple of dental emergencies and they were very quick to respond. I can't recommend Dr. Lopez and the New Smile team more.
We love it when you come in to see us! You honestly make us smile, and we hope we can continue to do the same for you! Maybe one of these days we'll have to get you some salsa. ;)
Fantastic experience: I was afraid as I just moved in from Mexico not knowing anybody. Thank God I've found New Smile Dental. So warming team. Dr Gilberto such a nice person. He bare with my concerns and explained everything to me. I highly recommend him. His team also wonderful. Bilingual is a plus!
Fantastic experience: Very warm astomphere Easy to talk to and explain everything well
Fantastic experience: They keep my Smile great
Fantastic experience: Dr Lopez and his staff are amazing. The check in process is always a breeze. Dr Lopez always ensures to educate me on what the plans are and what the possible outcomes are. He reassures me every step of the way. His staff always make sure to educate me on anything I need to continue to do at home. They always make sure I understand before I leave their office. Overall, it’s always a kind and great experience.
Fantastic experience: My first appointment I called in the week of Christmas and got my appointment the next day for an extraction.. I appreciate their kindness and fast response towards my painful situation. And Dr. Lopez is very kind and knowledgeable and he walked me through it as I was nervous. And his staff of all his beautiful ladies were so very sweet and caring. Thank you all I'm not done yet but I felt comfortable with them all. And will be delighted in my future with having my dental care through Dr. Gilberto Lopez office! Sincerely LaChelle Hughes

Positive experience: Everyone was very nice. Only issue was with scheduling a follow up for a routine cleaning. I was told at my initial call I could be scheduled for that pretty quickly. It's going a little longer than I expected. X-rays and exam were thorough.
Hi Faythe, we are so glad you had a great experience! Now that you are in our system, it will be easier to get your cleanings scheduled for the specific times you need. The best part is that you requested to be on our call list! This will possibly help you get in even quicker. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Thank you so much for your review Michael! It was a pleasure getting to meet your family today!
Fantastic experience: Well, I had two wisdom teeth removed today. The staff was gentle and thorough. They are efficient but not rushed. I even lost two ounces. However, I do not recommend this procedure as a weight-loss strategy. Not wise.
Thank you so much! We love being able to meet our patients' needs! Dr. Lopez definitely agrees with the diet advice. There are probably easier ways to lose weight!
Fantastic experience: I received the attention I needed as soon as I walked in. The staff in general was very professional and friendly! Definitely, a very good experience and I’d recommend this place to anyone with dental care needs!
