    i have bad anxiety about dental care but the staff at Smile Science was AWESOME. everyone was super nice and nonjudgmental. Dr. Urda herself is super direct, but also makes sure that you're comfortable- it's very obvious that she really cares about her patients and their wellbeing!

    I haven’t been to the dentist in a while- so I knew I couldn’t expect an easy out. Turns out I need a “deep clean” for my gums which requires multiple appointments. Kia and Dr. Urdu did a great job explaining and trying to work with me. They were helpful, knowledgeable, and understanding. I’ll be back for my follow ups!

    Okay, so I’ve had the same dentist for a long time. Recently they did some stuff I wasn’t too keen on, so I thought moving on. Then I was offered a premium to try Open are.com and basically selected SmileScience because it was close by. Man, what a difference. Everything seemed about me instead of about th m. Their facilities were spotless, Dr. Van was informative, thorough and did not waste my time. The front staff heard my concerns regarding insurance and took the time to go through everything with me. Basically, I feel like I’ve got a dentist who is on my team instead of simply a dentist. Very happy with my initial experi nice, obviously.

    After not seeing a dentist for a few years, I decided it was time to get back to it. Dr. Monica Urda was great! She walked me through everything, explained in detail my X-rays and made sure I was comfortable. The dental hygienist was just as great- she was a temp to the office but shes had years of experience. She was very knowledgeable and most improbably was gentle while she was doing my cleaning.

    I hadn't been to the dentist in a while so I was nervous. I ended up having to get a deep cleaning, which required two back-to-back visits. :0 Everyone, from the hygienists, to assistants, to Dr. Urda, to the front desk, were so lovely. They comprehensively explained the procedure, were very conscious of my pain levels and comfort, understanding about my financial situation, and gave me remote control over the ceiling mounted TVs. Would definitely recommend not waiting as long as I did to come into Smile Science.

They explained everything clearly to me and gave me a straightforward treatment plan. I am now enthusiastic about going to the dentist, and catching up on my favorite shows on Netflix on their ceiling mounted TV.

    I haven’t been to a dentist in a while and I had high anxiety about the experience but Dr. Urda and her office made the experience a good one. Everyone was so kind and welcoming. The space was very inviting too. Dr. Urda was gentle and really good at explaining everything that needed to be done. I really recommend her!!

    Monica did a great job on my teeth. She was very keen to learn my recent dental history as well as talk a little about where I'm from. It is clear that she is knowledgable on her craft.

  • Great! Very friendly staff, hygienist, and doctor + netflix
    Reviewed on April 5th, 2018  •  Verified patient
    Had a great experience for my checkup/cleaning! Parking is paid street, not too hard to find. Front desk staff is friendly and offered me coffee/water. Hygienist took me back almost immediately and was also very friendly. They have TVs on the ceiling so you can watch whatever netflix you want which makes the appointment go by super fast. Dr. Urda came in just at the end to look at my xrays and quickly check my teeth but was very pleasant the whole time. Definitely would recommend.

    Waited a very short amount of time before they took me back for X-rays and cleaning. Once the cleaning was done Dr. Monica came in and did a thorough examination, answered all my questions and provided explanations for everything. She also referred me to other providers who could provide a second opinion.

    Reviewed on March 26th, 2018  •  Verified patient
    This was probably the best experience I've had at a Dentist's office, ever. I'm sure I'm on the same page with a lot of people when I say that going to the dentist is not my favorite thing to do. However, everyone at Smile Science was so nice and knowledgeable. After my exam I received an action plan on the next steps to take and everything was explained in great detail. I feel like I can trust Dr. Urda with my smile and will definitely be back again.

    I have been avoiding the dentist for a long time because I know I have some dental problems. They were very efficient in breaking down what steps I would need to take and finding me appointments quickly. I honestly feel like this is as good as a dentist situation can be. Location is very nice as well, easy to get to via public transportation. Dr. Monica Urda herself has good energy.

I wasn't up sold, or asked to buy into gimmicks, but just talked to honestly throughout the visit - something that shouldn't be, but is a rarity at a dentist's office.
