Fantastic experience: My hygienist (I can't remember her name) did an outstanding job of cleaning and examining my teeth! They look amazing.
Fantastic experience: We were on vacation in York when I had a dental emergency. Dr. Smith and his team stayed late to see me that afternoon, then fit me in for a procedure during his lunch hour the next day. Everyone we dealt with, front desk included, was friendly and professional. Highly recommend.

Thank you for the review, Peter! We always want patients to feel safe and comfortable in our office!
Negative experience: The staff was pleasant while there. I missed my 1st appointment due to a mistake the schedule made but when I went into appointment about broken tooth the dentist seemed like 2 different people after explaining options and then me going with the cheaper option which was to pull tooth. The dentist seemed annoyed that I had chosen that and he was getting less money then a $1500 root canal/crown. Sorry but I am a single mother that is not made of money.....
Fantastic experience: Dr.and staff are wonderful! Put me right at ease.. very knowledgable, I enjoyed my visit so much Im going back next week
Fantastic experience: My recent dental appointment was fantastic! The staff was friendly and professional, making me feel comfortable throughout the visit. My hygienist was great and explained a few things to me that I did not know. Highly recommend this dental practice!

Fantastic experience: I’m sooooo thankful for Dr. Smith and Leslie who took such great care of me Had 3 crowns - have dental anxiety- they were so attentive to me. THANK YOU.

Fantastic experience: Super friendly and knowledgeable staff!! Kathy did a meticulous job on my teeth cleaning!
Thanks Ken!
Fantastic experience: Walked in with agonizing pain. Was treated warmly by a small group of professionals, from the front desk to Ryan---the man that made impressively quick work of a rotten tooth I worried might end me. I don't think a surgical extraction could be less traumatic. Invoice was very reasonable by any standard, but felt like a real bargain given the experience. Real pros.
Fantastic experience: Top notch dental office! Sara is very thorough and an absolute delight
Karrah, thank you for the 5-star review, and for taking the time to rate us. We appreciate you!
Fantastic experience: This place is great. The people are extremely nice, my visits are quick. Dr Ryan makes everything done here seem super easy with no pain or discomfort.
Fantastic experience: By far the best dentist and service I have ever had

Fantastic experience: I found the scheduling to be easy and the team in the office great. The Dr. and Dental Hygienist are friendly, professional and listen and address concerns. The office is clean.
Fantastic experience: Always friendly and professional people. Makes going to the dentist a good experience! Great crew!
Lynne, thanks so much for the 5-star review & kind words!
Fantastic experience: Lisa was awesome. Friendly, thorough but efficient, and gentle. Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: I was treated throughly and prompt, thank you
Fantastic experience: My wife had cracked her tooth on a popcorn kernel while on vacation here in Maine last night. Today we needed an emergency dental appointment. Thankfully, York Village Dental was able to take us right in at three o'clock.This afternoon. Doctor Ryan Smith offered us several possible solutions as to what could be done. Ultimately, the tooth was broken and had to be pulled. It was amazing to see that he could do a root canal and make and install a permanent crown in his office that day before we left if needed. He could also do an implant as well. His level of skill and ability are unmatched. His staff are top of the line as well. We couldn't have found a better place to have this taken care of. Thank you York Village Dental!!!
Frank, thank you for taking the time to write such a wonderful review! You are appreciated!
Fantastic experience: Update! I did it again. ignored a bad tooth and had to go in for a emergency extraction. Same polite, gentle, caring and efficient care. Extremely pleased the staff understands and "deals" with my terrible gag reflex. It makes their job a lot harder. Ten stars! Lynn the administrative assistant was kind and compassionate about my dental emergency. Worked to get me squeezed into Dr. Ryan's schedule for a molar extraction. Dr Ryan knew how to work around my awful gag reflex and once pain medications took effect pulled the molar in under two minutes. 10 outta 10!

Lisa, thank you for the 5-star review! We appreciate you!
Fantastic experience: Five stars In every aspect! I cannot say enough, good things about the professional and friendly staff at York Village Dental.
Fantastic experience: Very friendly helpful staff. Accommodated me when I needed repair. Coming from Central Mass I was surprised by cost. Dr. Was very efficient. Made another appointment.
Fantastic experience: Dr.Ryan is a confident dentist. After breaking a tooth, I was able to get into see Ryan the next day. He works efficiently and rearranged his schedule to get me a crown right then. I was out the door with a new crown in a little more than an hour. Great work.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Ryan and his staff are top notch professionals. Having my tooth pulled seemed like a breeze in the calm and friendly atmosphere that they created. Dr. Ryan puts meaning into the phrase “dental arts.”
Fantastic experience: Very friendly and proficient staff. Excellent pain free cleaning and evaluation. Wonderful experience and squeaky clean teeth!!
Thank you so much, Michael!
Fantastic experience: Kathy did my cleaning today. She as very personable and professional. She listened to my questions and concerns and relayed th so a plan could be made!
Fantastic experience: Sarah did a great job. Very pleasant, informative and efficient.
Fantastic experience: York Village Dental --the entire staff --is professional, courteous and cares about their patients. They are an exceptional dental office led by Dr. Ryan Smith.
Fantastic experience: Went to York Village Dental after 7 years without a dental cleaning and with some anxiety about dental procedures. Everyone was very nice and understanding. I felt welcomed. New patient paperwork was straightforward but thorough. I had all kinds of x-rays and had my cleaning all in the one visit with a follow up in four months. It was very efficient and I liked the music that was playing. Happy to see them again.
Fantastic experience: Sara was very efficient giving my wife and I dental cleanings this week. Great experience going to her.
Kenneth, thank you so much for the 5-star review!
Fantastic experience: Very convenient location, great staff - highly recommended!
Positive experience: Lynn and the front office staff are always lovely. My hygienist Sarah was so sweet and informative. Very gentle great..!! Dr. Smith has zero personality and charges way too much for an oral exam , looks in your mouth for less than 60 seconds in charge is $86 !! ridiculous. !!!
Fantastic experience: Sarah was amazing!!! She was super gentle, talked me through everything she was doing (which was SO helpful for my anxiety) and she educated me about things that have never been explained before. In all the years I’ve been going to the dentist I’ve never had a more pleasant experience than the one I had with her today! I told her to always book me with her from now on!
Fantastic experience: Excellent thorough and comprehensive service! Highly recommend Dr Ryan and welcoming staff!
Fantastic experience: I started going to York Village Dental in 2021 when I had a possible dental emergency a week before a trip to sing in the UK in 2021. The dentist I had been going to for 30+ years had retired and that practice was without a full time dentist. So they couldn't see me. Rather than tell me truth about their situation they blamed me for not visiting them during the pandemic. Say what? Dr Smith stayed late to see me and didn't want to charge me for what turned out to be a non-problem. He was most reassuring. I am happy to have stayed with Village Family Dental. I had to cancel a cleaning last year and the practice manager has bent over backwards to offer me times for a cleaning and what I feared was a problem. I would definitely recommend them to someone in need of a dentist and feel lucky I found Village Family Dental.
Fantastic experience: I as a physician I am very impressed with the doctor and staff. Professional, compassionate, and friendly. Highest recommendation!
Thanks so much Michael!
Fantastic experience: I had a great first experience at York Harbor Dental today! Looking forward to going back for my cleaning in May! The staff are all professional and attentive. Office is clean and welcoming

Fantastic experience: Dr Ryan Smith makes you feel at ease. He’s an honest person & does great work. My wife is very happy with her new implants & tells me that is glad she had the work done! Thanks!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Ryan and his staff are, by far, THE BEST! Dr. Ryan's kindness and generosity are amazing! Lynn and Emilyat the front desk are WONDERFUL and AMAZING.

Susan, thank you so much for taking the time to give us a good review! We appreciate you!
Fantastic experience: I had a cleaning appointment today with Kathy, the hygienist. She did a wonderful job and I will definitely be back!
Fantastic experience: Amazing doctor and staff. Can't say enough great things about York Village Dental.
Positive experience: Sarah the new hygienist was excellent, efficient and thorough. Dr. Ryan’s office is a very well kept, nice space with good people working for him. There have been some hiccups with insurance for us but I think most of the time it’s been good on the insurance side and not the York Village Dental one.
Fantastic experience: The office was welcoming with extremely helpful receptionists. Sara was the best hygienist. Extremely knowledgeable and professional. She knew how to keep this anxious patient calm. Dr. Smith was very thorough and explained my options. Highly recommend York Village Dental.
Fantastic experience: We love York Village Dental! The team is so friendly, professional, accommodating and great with my kids. They make every visit quick and easy. Couldn’t ask for better care!
Fantastic experience: First time visit was superb. Dr. Smith and staff were extremely accommodating and answered all of my questions. York Village Dental is a gem !!
Thank you Barry!
Fantastic experience: This was my first visit to York Village Dental and I am a very satisfied customer. Dr. Ryan Smith came in to assess my overall oral health and my hygienist Karen was absolutely amazing. Very thorough and you could tell she knew what she was doing. She was always telling me the next step, but not overdoing it in my eyes.
Fantastic experience: I was absolutely ecstatic when I left there. You people are amazing. I think Dr. Ryan is absolutely amazing and I’m finally gonna get my teeth. I couldn’t be happier thank you thank you thank you so much.
Fantastic experience: Very clean office and a great friendly and informative staff. The equipment is top drawer and Dr Ryan does all the necessary preparation to ensure the results will be done correctly and you will be pleased as his client with the outcome.
Fantastic experience: Very easy and flexible scheduling. Always quick to respond. Very professional
Fantastic experience: My experience at York Village Dental was hands-down the best I’ve ever had at a dental office. From the warm welcome at the door to the upbeat, funny personalities that keep you smiling throughout your visit, the entire team makes you feel right at home. I highly recommend York Village Dental to anyone looking for exceptional care and a genuinely enjoyable atmosphere. A special thank-you to dental hygienist Amber, who went above and beyond by identifying potential health concerns I wasn’t aware of. Her attentiveness and care were truly a lifesaver. Thank you all!
Fantastic experience: Very nice! Love going here for teeth cleanings. Tidy nice and polite! Sensitive if you have dental anxiety and they work well with that.
Fantastic experience: Best dentist I've ever been to had a root canal and crown done didn't feel a thing. If you have dental anxiety highly recommend going here! Dentist was super laid back and his team was awesome!
Fantastic experience: The best dental experience iv ever had ! Highly recommend it
Thank you Alan!
Fantastic experience: Best dentist I've had in 55 years. All new equipment... in house crowns is a game changer!
Thanks so much for the 5-star review!
Fantastic experience: I was very please with my visit at York Village Dental. I will most definitely look forward to becoming a patient with the practice.
Fantastic experience: Recently moved to this office as I want a full service dental office. First visit was good. Only complaint is the room I was in is actually two rooms with just a wall between chairs. The person in the next chair was clearly elderly and the hygienist had to speak very loudly so the patient could hear, the patient also had to speak very loudly. I found that distracting and uncomfortable. They do have individual rooms, which I will request on future visits.
Fantastic experience: Very friendly office. Exam and cleaning pleasant and thorough.
Fantastic experience: can't say enough good things about this office. Had a new hygienist today named Kathy. She was so nice did such a great job. Dr. Ryan came in. We spoke very pleasant and always professional. Went to the front desk thinking I owed money and she said I didn't and she was a sweet as she could be I love this dentist office and I'd recommend it to anybody.
Thanks so much Susan!
Fantastic experience: I lost a crown, and they got me in quickly to get it replaced. Others told me I was looking at weeks before getting in to see a dentist. Extremely friendly and helpful front office staff. Dental staff are equally friendly and competent. The crown was re-set promptly, painlessly and perfectly in no time. These people care about their patients - and what they do generally. Probably my best dental experience ever.
Fantastic experience: My visit for a cleaning was flawless- friendly, on time, easy. It was a pleasure start to finish!
Thanks so much Ellen, for the kind review! :)
Fantastic experience: The extra mile for a smile: A toothache developed on the day the office is normally closed. I left a voicemail that was answered within the hour by Dr Ryan Smith himself. He went to the office to take care of me, despite the fact that he was leaving on an overseas trip the next day! Awesome service.
Fantastic experience: Broke my front tooth Sunday morning. Called Dr. Smith at 8:30 AM Monday and was in his office at 10 AM. Everyone was very pleasant and accommodating. I was very impressed with the staff and the treatment I received. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Very professional dentist, Ryan Smith, receptionist and hygienist. Excellent work. I tremendous upgrade from my prior dental experience
Jay, we are thrilled to have received your 5-star review! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your positive experience with us.
Fantastic experience: Professional, smart, responsive, good listeners, great atmosphere. Good follow up, nice.
Fantastic experience: I needed an emergency tooth removal on their day off. I called At 6:30 in the morning, told them I had an appointment for 830 and another location unless they could do it. Five minutes later, they told me to be at the office at 7:30. I’ve always had great service here. Professionalism care and concern are their main points. I refer everybody to check them out.
Fantastic experience: Dr Ryan and his entire team are extremely professional and caring. I’ve personally had a couple of situations where time was critical and they were able to make things happen. I couldn’t be happier.
Fantastic experience: I am visiting in town (a summer resident); this is not my personal dentist (normally!) I have an extreme toothache, and a cousin who is a patient at this office recommended this office. It turns out I need a root canal, and I was referred to another specialist's office that does that. I greatly appreciate Lynn getting me in so quickly and the doctor's rapid analysis and referral. Now that I am established, if I need dental service when I am in town, I know where to go.
Negative experience: Doctor suggested a very expensive procedure and did not offer or explain what my options might be. He relied on staff to do most of the talking even though they don’t have dental degrees. Staff says I was not charged for the visit, but excuse me, I have dental insurance. And you knew I was coming back for a night guard for which I paid $500. Happy to report there are better dentists in the neighborhood.
We apologize that you were not pleased with the treatment plan proposed by the doctor. I investigated the possibility of issuing a refund for the appointment charge, but it seems that the exam was provided to you at no cost during your visit. For any further clarification regarding the treatment plan, please don't hesitate to call the office!
Fantastic experience: Okay I received dental implants from another dentist. On Easter Sunday they can loose in fell out of my mouth. I was able to call York village dental and Dr Ryan came in that day Easter Sunday and address the problem. That was very grateful I would highly recommend Dr Ryan!
Fantastic experience: Wow ! Not enough room here to say how wonderful these people are ! On vacation from NYS and of course the first day here I get a really bad back tooth ache. Sarah and Lynn were able to get me in the next day. These are two of the most sweetest people you will ever meet ! In my almost 70 years Ryan was the best dentist you could ask for ! Everything explained, very relaxed and took the time to extract my bad tooth. Leslie, Ryan's assistant was so wonderful and caring. I can never thank these wonderful, caring people enough.
Fantastic experience: The best dental care I've ever had. The office is very friendly and caring. You feel very welcome and comfortable.
Thank you for the 5-star review Margaret!
Fantastic experience: This was my 1st visit with YVD and I was very impressed with the friendliness and professionalism of everyone I met.
Fantastic experience: First visit. Parking was easily accesed and available. Where to go into the building "ingress" was clearly marked. Once inside building, clean well lit, location signage excellent. Receptionist, friendly and articulate, made me feel like they were happy to have me as a patient. Reception area, really nice, clean and well lit, plenty of seating. Hygienist, well dressed, well spoken and friendly. Greated me with enthusiasm, provided verbal overview of the practice. Patient room, bright clean, solid sheetrock walls, pleasant paint Gray/Blueish color with white trim. Not noisey, very little crosstalk coming from other patients/conversations. Ambient noise leveles were also reasonable. Floor LVP. Exam/dental chair was clean, not worn, comfortable. Hygienist explained each steps of their "New patient onboardimg" process. Hygienist seemed to do a thorough exam and cleaning, wasnt rushed, she communicated well and tested a few times for my comfort. The doc/dentist introduction was smooth, felt genuine, like he also appreciated his patients, He's been with the practice for some time and recently had a opportunity to take over ownership. All in all, really enjoyed the visit and professionalism of the atmosphere and employees.
