This is going to be an in-depth read, but I believe it's essential to share a thorough review of my dental implant journey. I've noticed many positive reviews about dental implants, but they often lack detail, merely expressing satisfaction. My goal is to paint a complete picture of my experience, in hopes of assisting others who are contemplating a similar path. Like many, I faced dental issues significant enough to consider dentures. Prior to visiting Smiles, I had consulted with three other dental services in the area. Each experience felt more like a transaction at a car dealership than a medical consultation. These companies assured me my jawbone was suitable for full mouth implants. Interestingly, one of these practitioners was an oral surgeon. My discovery of Smiles was pure luck, prompted by a simple Google search. Their glowing online reviews piqued my curiosity, leading me to schedule a consultation. From the initial phone call, the staff at Smiles distinguished themselves with their warmth and professionalism, a stark contrast to the sales-like approach I had previously encountered. I remember feeling impressed upon entering their office for my first appointment. The environment was immaculate and welcoming, a refreshing change from the typical dental office vibe. The technician, Frankie, was instrumental in guiding me through the process. She introduced me to two implant options: Stabili Teeth with acrylic teeth, and Express Teeth featuring Zirconia teeth. Frankie detailed the strengths and drawbacks of each, emphasizing the durability of Zirconia. Though unsure if I required the extra strength of Zirconia, the flexible upgrade option of Stabili Teeth to Zirconia at a later stage, with only the difference in cost, was appealing. Thus, I opted for Stabili Teeth, comforted by the five-year warranty and the potential for an upgrade if needed. Dr. Faust's consultation was a game-changer. His approachable demeanor and expertise were evident. He approved my lower jaw for immediate implantation but was cautious about the upper jaw due to existing abscesses and past root canals. His suggestion to delay upper jaw implants for optimal conditions, although initially disappointing, highlighted his commitment to the best possible outcome. This meant wearing a temporary top denture, a small concession for long-term success. Price, while a consideration, wasn't my primary concern. Dr. Faust's candid advice about my upper jaw, which no other dentist had mentioned, solidified my trust in him. The cost for the Stabili Teeth option, including extractions, was 21K - a significant amount, but relatively reasonable compared to other quotes I had received. The transparency and confidence displayed by the team at Smiles were the deciding factors for me. I scheduled my procedures on 10/11/23, with the mold creation set for 10/17/23 and the surgery on 11/16/23. The timing was close to the holidays, which was a concern, but the staff reassured me about the recovery timeline and diet requirements. The mold appointment on 10/17/23 further solidified my confidence in my choice. The attention to detail and patient care were exceptional. Dr. Faust's meticulous approach to ensuring a natural smile was reassuring, although I remained apprehensive about the upcoming surgery. On 11/16/23, the day of the surgery, my anxiety was at its peak. The thought of undergoing multiple extractions was daunting. However, the procedure went smoothly, exceeding my expectations. Dr. Faust successfully placed the implants in my lower jaw and performed a bone graft on the upper jaw. Post-surgery, the pain was manageable, and the care I received was outstanding. For those considering dental implants, I can't recommend Smile Dental, Dr. Foust, and Frankie enough. Their expertise, patient care, and transparency throughout the process have been exceptional. While the journey wasn't without its challenges, the outcome has been incredibly positive. I'm looking forward to completing my journey and enjoying the benefits of my new smile. read more

Smile Dental Center of Gibsonia, PA is AMAZING! I called the office hoping to make an appointment for a consultation concerning some dental work I needed to have done. Mindy answered the phone quickly and was so helpful. She listened to my questions and concerns and was able to schedule me for that evening with Dr. Foust! When I went into the office Lauren greeted me; although she was on the phone helping another patient she made sure to acknowledge me, which is a great first impression! After waiting only a few minutes, Tyler, the Clinical Manager, took me back to the examining room and started the exam. Tyler is great, he's very personable and definitely up to date on the latest dental techniques. He is a critical part of the "Smile Team". He did the initial exam and took X-rays. I then met Dr. Foust, who is an incredible dentist! (Believe me, I've had my share of dentists over the years!). Dr. Foust is very knowledgeable and has fantastic "bedside" manner. He explains things in a concise manner, giving the patient options and allowing them to make their own decisions. After hearing my options, I decided to have the necessary fillings done that same evening instead of waiting. I am so glad I did. My mouth is glad I did! I would HIGHLY recommend Smile Dental Center of Gibsonia!! read more

No amount of words can express the gratitude and happiness I feel thanks to the incredible, kind, dedicated & talented staff at Smile! Dr. Faust is so genuine and caring and puts all your fears aside after one meeting with him. I have been TERRIFIED of dentists my entire life and thanks to Dr. Faust I'm not only no longer afraid but I was able to receive the life changing care & work I so badly needed. I cannot say enough kind things about Dr. Faust, Bre and the rest of the staff in the office. If you're unsure about whether or not to visit the office just know that I travel 6hrs from Philadelphia for my appointments because THAT is how great they truly are. That alone should be enough to convince you to make the call. Seriously stop delaying and get the life back that you deserve. Your teeth are important and can make or break one's self confidence. If it's already broken let Dr. Faust and his team put you back together the way you deserve. You will NOT be disappointed. Not even a little bit. read more

Being a person with anxiety over seeing the dentist coupled with a high gag reflex, I have often had gaps between visits to the dentist resulting in longer cleaning sessions and ultimately some tooth decay. Smile! Dental was recommended to me by a friend with similar anxieties. The best decision I've made was to schedule an appointment at the Gibsonia facility. From the time I entered, I felt welcomed. Megan was my hygienist, and after explaining my anxiety and gag reflex, all Megan asked of me was to trust her...which I did. This was the first dental visit in my 53 years where I was not only not terribly anxious but also where my gag reflex was NEVER engaged. Megan was patient, encouraging, and as excited as I was that the experience was so smooth. I am now looking forward to my next cleaning and my next annual check up! I would recommend this practice to anyone!!! read more

I have been seeing Dr. Foust and his team for about 2 years now. I have had not the best experiences in the past with my previous dentist and am happy to say I found a team I can trust! I originally went to Dr. Foust for a dental implant, since my dentist at the time did not perform them. From the very beginning at my first consultation, I knew I was in good hands. Him and his team did an amazing job assisting me every step of the way getting my dental implant done and did everything to ensure I would not have any issues afterwards. I did have a few minor issues that can potentially happen, but they immediately got me in and took care of me! I highly recommend if you are looking for a new dentist, then give Smile Dental a chance (you won't regret it!) read more

Cannot say enough good things about Smile Dental Center and Dr. Foust specifically! The office is simply beautiful and very clean. Each room is set up with a large TV and great music always plays throughout the entire office. Dr. Foust even sings sometimes, which definitely lightens the mood of the entire experience!!! The staff are friendly and accommodating, especially with small children. The equipment is state of the art, and you can be sure if there is any new digital technology available to upgrade your dental experience, Smile Dental will be using it sooner than later! They do great work. My children and I have been coming to Smile Dental Center since it opened. The best of the best. read more

First i need to be clear on this, i hated going to the dentist when i was younger so as i got older i stopped going, which is why i had to come here. Today was jus a check up on the implant i had done around 2 years ago. this whole experience has been amazing from the original meeting and discussion about what i needed done to the actual surgery and the after care has really changed the way i view the dentist. even with an emergency situation, i broke a screw while eating a hot dog of all things, they got me right in and took care of me. I have and will continue to refer people to this office. they are just simply great people all around and they make you feel comfortable about everything. read more

I have been a patient here almost since they opened. The reason I first came there was my former dentist was just too busy and hard to get into. I thought I would never find anybody that I liked as much but I was wrong. The staff at Smile is top-notch. They are professional and very skilled. Add to that the fact that you can tell they are always concerned about your well-being and are just pleasant to be around! When I go in for a check up I feel like I'm reconnecting with friends. My entire family- wife and two kids - are also patients and have had nothing but good experiences. I've had a lot of dental work done and everything has turned out excellently. read more

i've been a patient for just over a year now. After receiving full mouth implants, I can say that the quality of care provided by the doctor and his staff have been exceptional. They give meticulous attention to detail, and have given me a new lease on life with a smile that I can now show off. i've had a few issues and the staff have been incredibly accommodating, ensuring that every visit is comfortable and stress-free and informative. This is a place where professionalism meets kindness, and where patients are treated like family. I would say if you're looking for dental care that goes above and beyond, then look no further than Smile! Dental Center. read more

I cannot say enough great things about Smile! Dental Center. Like so many other people, going to the dentist is not in my Mt. Rushmore of favorite things to do. Coming here though has not only eased the fears/anxiety I've always had going to a dentist, but they do everything possible to make you feel comfortable with their laid back atmosphere & keep you informed of precisely what they're doing while you're in the chair. The front desk is organized & always welcome you with a friendly 'Smile!'. They are also very reasonably priced. I highly recommend Dr. Foust, Dr. Greg & team for all your dentistry needs (especially on Boy Band Thursdays). read more

Smile! Dental Center is very appropriately named: I am greeted by smiling staff members and I am smiling as well during and after my visits. From the neat and clean waiting area to the treatment rooms that feel like a day spa (complete with music and/or TVs), it is a far cry from what I experienced with dentistry not so long ago. Dr. Foust and his staff are all extremely professional but very caring as well. They listen to my concerns and take time to explain to me what my teeth need and how they are going to approach those needs. I am so glad to have found them to keep my personal smile healthy and happy! read more

I could not be more happier with smile dentistry in Gibsonia. Dr Foust and staff are extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the concerns and needs of their patients. I had previously been petrified of dentists, but felt I needed to get back to going to the dentist regularly again. I looked for local dentist and read the reviews for Smile Dentistry prior to making my first appointment, as i wanted to make sure this would be a dentist I would be comfortable going to. I now have been going there for 3 years and am very happy with them and would highly recommend them to my all my friends and family. read more

I can't begin to say enough about the exceptional care I have received from Dr. Faust and his staff at Smile Dental. I have been a patient for about a year now and have had extensive dental work that required almost monthly visits. I immediately felt comfortable with Dr. Faust and his care and concern are quite evident. The staff is always willing to accommodate my schedule with evening and even weekend appointments. The office is high tech, clean, and everyone there seems to truly enjoy their work. The great music they play is a bonus! I would strongly recommend Dr. Faust to all. read more

Who likes going to the dentist? You will. Everyone in this practice tucked away in a small strip mall in Gibsonia is professional, fun and just good at what they do. I don't think I've ever had to wait more than a couple minutes from my appointment time to be in the chair being taken care of by one of their staff. My neighbor suggested Dr Foust and now my wife and I and our four children all get our dental care from him and Dr. Greg Novotny. It's been a great experience. There's a music theme every day, so be sure to ask what's playing when you make an appointment. read more

Between the people who work up front, the hygienists, the assistance, and especially the talent of the dentists, you cannot go wrong with using Smile! Dental Center as your tooth care provider. From someone who has had to have a tremendous amount of work because a medication I was taking completely rotted the majority of my teeth, I couldn't be happier with the progress we are making and how beautifully done the teeth that have been completed look. I can't wait to have my entire smile back! Dr Greg is a true artist! Call them today! You won't be disappointed. read more

I do not usually do "reviews" but wanted to for Dr. Jarrett Foust at SmilePgh, Gibbsonia, PA. I've had two appointments with last one having three (3) extractions. I'm older and of course was a bit nervous. However, I found Dr. Jarrett, kind, patient and very knowledgeable. The office staff is also very kind and accommodating. I've dealt with Frankie, Paula and Sherry, all three made me feel comfortable and welcomed. Not "just" another patient. Another plus was I found the office to be clean and up to date. read more

I had a wisdom tooth extracted and Dr. Foist was very considerate of my issues with TMJ and neck arthritis and gentle. The staff is awesome and so kind. Great dental care I was seen for what I thought was a piece of filling that washed away but instead was pleasantly surprised to find out I had a piece of vineer that was lodged between two teeth from a previous dentists' work . X-rays we're taken and no problem noted . The charge for the visit was included In my dental insurance! It was a win, win ! read more

The Smile! Dental Center provided me with excellent service and very clean teeth when I was finished with my appointment! The staff is very nice and the email reminder about my appointment was great. Dr. Foust was terrific as he did the actual cleaning and took the time to help get to know you and your teeth rather than most other dentists I've seen where they barely look at you mouth. I would recommend anyone to the Smile! Dental Center. I especially enjoyed the warm towel, execptional service! read more

My family and I have been patients of Dr Faust for 12+ years now. He is not only a very knowledgeable dentist but he is very caring and sympathetic to whatever needs brings you into the office. My kids absolutely love going to the dentist! The entire staff is extremely friendly and professional as well. I highly recommended Smile Dental to anyone who is seeking a new dentist. This office is top notch. A great dentist who puts you at ease is hard to find, I'm glad we found ours Julie C read more
