Fantastic experience: Dr. Cariens and his staff, as always, have provided the best dental care possible. Very professional and courteous from start to finish. Great job! !

Fantastic experience: I want to let everyone know how wonderful my mother was treated by Dr. Cariens, Kianna and his entire Smile Life Dentistry staff. My mother, Josefina, has dementia and can be a difficult patient because of her low tolerance to pain and language barriers. She was diagnosed with having bruxism, so she needed a night guard to keep her teeth from grinding which was causing her great pain. After finally getting the mold casted and night guard fitted for her mouth, we unfortunately lost the night guard on only the second night. Dr. Cariens had wisely saved the mold so we were able to make a replacement night guard quickly without having to go through the uncomfortable mold process. In addition to the worldclass service, the price of the professionally made nightguard was extremely reasonable and Dr Cariens did not even charge me for the second visit. Thank you so much!

Fantastic experience: My family has been seeing Dr Cariens since he opened his practice! I love the care I get! The staff are the best!!!

Fantastic experience: Everything about this place is top shelf.

Negative experience: Will not let me make an appointment because I have Medicaid. She said that she didn’t know when they would be allowing people like me with Medicaid insurance to make appointments again. It’s sad when you can’t make an appointment because the doctors office can’t make the max amount of money off of you.

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough good things about Dr. Cariens and his entire staff. The office atmosphere is calm and welcoming at every visit. Everyone is professional and genuinely friendly. Dr. Cariens demonstrates a deep commitment to providing the best dental care. He communicates well and listens to patient concerns. His knowledge of best dental practices is evident. I highly recommend this practice to everyone seeking professional dental care in a relaxing atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Cariens and his staff are fantastic and very friendly. I had an emergency and he worked me in the next day. I would recommend to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Cariens and staff are very professional and friendly. I would never think of going elsewhere. Always more than pleased.

Fantastic experience: Staff was awesome. Will go out of their way to help you ! DR. C knows what's best you. He tells you what you need and then his plan to get there! Finally found me a good dentist! I recommend him and his office hands down. Doesn't get any better! Love his music he plays too! That's a plus!

Fantastic experience: I have been using Smile Life Dentistry for many, many years. I have always been satisfied with the care I receive. I highly recommend them to you. .

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend them! They made me feel confortable. Staff very kind. The doctor was great, explaining me all procedures

Fantastic experience: Dr Cariens and team were able to work me in to see them quickly after I cracked a tooth. While he could have gone the most invasive route, Dr Cariens thought he could save the tooth by putting a crown in it. He and his assistant did a great job creating and fitting the crown quickly and painlessly. They are definitely a team I trust.
