I had an excellent experience at Elevated Smiles. My veneer unexpectedly came off, and since my…read moreregular dentist was closed, I started calling around hoping someone could help. Elevated Smiles welcomed me in the same day without an appointment, and I couldn't be more grateful. The entire team was warm, professional, and made me feel comfortable from the moment I arrived. The dentist was incredibly thorough--he didn't just reattach the veneer, he carefully checked to make sure my teeth and gums were healthy first. He even told me that he treats every patient's teeth as if they were his own, and it was obvious he truly meant it. It's rare to find a practice that combines skill, honesty, and genuine compassion the way Elevated Smiles does. They turned what could have been a stressful day into a great experience. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dentist who truly cares about their patients. Thank you again for your outstanding care!

I used to dread going to the dentist, but now I enjoy my visits. Perhaps most importantly, I really appreciate their approach and model for service - they do not recommend unnecessary procedures.

I would highly recommend Elevated Smiles to others that are looking for a dentist.

The dentist was very personable and explained everything during her review of the x-rays and the exam. She also has an amazing imaging software program I haven't seen at other dental practices. For the first time ever, I saw an accurate visual representation of my teeth which greatly helped me feel confident in the diagnosis and suggestions of which teeth to prioritize. I previously went to a dentist who I liked, but due to insurance changes I needed to find a new dentist. I was very happy to hear that they both agreed upon which teeth have cracked filings due to age and my teeth grinding at night. I am feeling confident about my future appointments to have some needed dental work completed because they took such great care of me as a first time patient.

Dr.Liatti was honest and attentive since day one, allowing me to try Invisalign with my complex case. It's been a long journey but it worked and I couldn't be any happier. I'm more confident about my smile and my quality of life has increased drastically!

I wanted to buy time with the tooth and decided to get a second opinion. Came here since my husband comes here and was told they can save my tooth. I felt a lot better about it. Not that a root canal is pleasant, but it's better than losing my tooth completely. They were able to fit me in and remove most of the debris. I got this done yesterday and feeling better already. Once my gums heal, it's two more steps to getting my final crown. I'm still really nervous chewing with it but at least I won't lose my tooth. My gums feel swollen but they checked on me today and were really helpful with explaining the process to me. I was so nervous that they wouldn't be able to save my tooth, but they were able to. At least for now, that tooth eventually needs to be extracted but I need to buy time with it. Thanks to everyone on the team for all of their assistance.

She told me it has been too long since getting x-rays done and I politely declined, as I don't need to be exposed to radiation just for the heck of it.

She said 'this is unaccepatable' and I said 'maybe I should find a new dentists as I really don't want an x-ray'. She said 'I think that's a good idea' and I walked out... Not a word from anyone.
