Because of this, the new replacement did not fit and she drilled on the new on in order to try and make it fit. I have had to have a new dentist fix 3 crowns that she did for me. She also was very offended when I asked her to stop sharing her personal life with me and just focus on my teeth. This was by far the most unprofessional dentist I have ever seen. I would not recommend her due to my experience. I hope this review helps others.

We called around to multiple pediatric dentists and Sunny Smiles stood out to us. Everyone from the front desk staff to the hygienist to the dentist treated both us and our son with enormous kindness and compassion - what stood out most to me was how the dentist spoke directly to my son about what he was going to do and what tools he was going to use. My son has a bit extra doctor-related anxiety and they were so patient with him, but even more than that they treated him with dignity and respect. We're honestly considering transferring our regular dental checkups here. Highly recommended.

Definitely recommended Sunny Smiles, my daughter (8yrs old) doesn't like going to the dentist and she left Sunny Smiles saying how she's excited to go back for her next cleaning

They are great with kids and make it such a point to make sure the kids feel comfortable and don't get scared to go to the dentist. That means a lot to a parent.

We just moved to the area and my daughter was needing to go to her first dentist appointment…read more Looking at the reviews this place looks like they were doing amazing things. The building is really nice. Tvs under the exam seats and in the lobby. Toys and books for kids to read while they wait. Everything looked well kept and clean. The dental assistant that handled my child was beyond perfect with her. My daughter did very well in the environment and it was because of the calm and caring demeanor of the person who took her X-rays and did her cleaning. It came time to meet Dr. Tam. He was very direct, monotone, and didn't have the the child friendly demeanor I had expected and hoped for. He tried to connect with my child but it like he was going through the motions (or at least that was my perception which could be wrong). It could have been that they were busy and he just didn't feel like he had time to try but I left the interaction feeling indifferent. He was informative and got a plan in place for us to move forward with. Overall this place is worth checking out at the very least. I'm glad I checked it out and I loved how they give the kid a toy out of a dispenser when you leave. It's a very nice touch and now my kid will be excited to go back

Beautiful new location! Easy to get an appointment! Excellent staff!…read more I've been telling myself I need to look for a pediatric dentist for our kiddo since it's been way overdue. It wasn't until he started complaining of gum pain on and off for a few days that I pulled the trigger and contacted this place based on our neighbor's recommendation. Normally I like to look up the providers in our network first, then their rating before calling to make an appointment, but desparate time requires desperate measure. I'm so glad everything worked out and our toddler now loves it here. For his very first dental appointment and I was blown away at how calm and how well he did. He followed all the instruction, complied with all the checkup and cleaning. I couldn't be prouder of him. It does help that they have TV mounted on the ceiling to keep the kids' looking up and be distracted, but I think I was more into the TV that day than our kiddo lol. Our dentist was Dr. Tam. It was a quick appointment for him since our toddler's teeth didn't have any issue, but he did take his time afterward to answer my questions and talking about our pediatrician who shares the same last name as him. At the end, our kid got to pick a toy from one of the vending machines or a bigger toy that they have. He went for the vending machine one, but they were very nice and gave him one of the bigger toy too. Which definitely was a huge bonus for him to want to come back. I can't recommend this place enough and just glad they are here in SM!

I was scared beyond belief not having seen a dentist in some time. I was in a lot of pain and apprehensive due to past experiences with other offices. This all changed when I called Dr. Art Kaslows office. From the very first phone call, in which a live person answered the phone, I felt welcome and relieved. The office staff went above and beyond to accommodate my needs and ease my concerns. Dr. Art Kaslow himself has a presence and calming manner about him that is so rare. His kind words and flawless artistry left me with more than just a beautiful smile, they gave me my life back through relieving all my pain and giving me the confidence to press forward and be the best I can be. When someone is at the top of their class it shows. When someone really cares about their patients its something you feel. You can feel it from the very first interaction and it sets the standard every dental office should abide by. Go see for yourself and take care of one of the most important parts of your health that is so often overlooked. This office will change your life!

I had already paid $500 over the quoted price. They still harass me everyday for the payment.
