Charges too much for being in SIDS plan with Cigna. Not a good attitude. Crown was not sent out to lab, done in house, looks fake. Luckily it's toward the back of the mouth. read more

This is an amazing and caring place. I don't know how we lived so long without them. They are compassionate, patient and intelligent. E ery single person I have encountered there has been balanced, kind, present and knowledgeable. This is not just a dentist office, it is a place of wellness. Its very peaceful to be there. I trust them implicitly to give me the best information available. I enjoy the extra touches like regularly asking how you are and using essence oils , demeanor, massaging chairs and fun decor to create a positive environment. I only wish every person could experience dentistry there. People would have a much less anxious view of dentistry! They followed best practice and removed a lot of mercury from my mouth. I am eternally grateful ​ read more

I had 4 appointments with Smile Design & Wellness Center and I experienced unprofessionalism, disorganization and a controlling atmosphere amidst a very uncaring attitude. (1) I waited over 2 months to see Dr. Rob Brown, as a new patient, and after meeting with the office manager, I was told that I would instead be seeing Dr. Edwards. I told the office manager that I had waited 2 months to see Dr. Brown and found this "switch" to be very disreputable. Dr. Brown was 45 mins - 1 hr. late for my appointment because he had squeezed in someone ahead of me as an emergency. (2) I had a $168 teeth cleaning that felt like I was being waterboarded and my teeth were being sandblasted. The teeth cleaning seemed to abruptly stop as the next patient arrived. For $168, I wondered if they had done a complete cleaning of my teeth. (3) One of my front teeth suddenly experienced gum recession, loosened and fell out. I called for an appointment and was told that Dr. Brown was out on surgery, but Dr. Edwards could see me. I had expensive X-rays ($471) done and Dr. Edwards told me the condition was not that uncommon and that 4 of his teeth experienced a similar condition. I was OK with my "partial" being ready by Thursday (a week) and didn't ask for it to be done quicker. Specific information about how the partial would look was not discussed or provided to me. So after paying $1,437, I was looking forward to getting my partial next week. (4) I was contacted by text and told that they wanted to delay my appointment to get my partial an hour later. This dental practice (office manager) switched half my appointments up or back at the last minute with little advance notice. The dental assistant placed a thick retainer in my mouth that was unlike any partial that I had ever seen. Worse yet, the tooth in the partial didn't match the size or color of my other teeth. I told the dental assistant that this was not acceptable to me. Dr. Edwards agreed that the partial didn't look right and apologized for the error. I was told that the redone partial would likely come in the next Wednesday and Dr. Brown would be back by then. When I went to schedule my appointment to receive the redone partial, they told me I'd have to wait until Thursday for an appointment. I mentioned that Dr. Edwards said that the partial would likely be back on Wednesday. I was told that although Dr. Brown was back, he was all booked up and Dr. Edwards was in surgery that afternoon. Recalling how they squeezed in someone ahead of me on my initial appointment, I asked to speak to the office manager. She arrived and I pointed to her office so that we could talk privately about this situation. She was unwilling to meet with me privately and said that she could only give me a minute. I mentioned that I waited over an hour when Dr. Brown squeezed someone in before my appointment and asked if they would show me the same consideration and squeeze me into Dr. Brown's Wednesday schedule. The office manager and Dr. Edwards were offended that I asked for a Wednesday appointment! I reiterated that I wanted to get the partial ASAP. They wouldn't work with me to try and make up for the delay and poor workmanship of the first partial, so I reluctantly settled for the Thursday appointment. As I was driving away, the office manager, who only seconds ago could only spare me one minute, came running after me and told me that "I wasn't a good fit" (see other reviewer's "not a good fit" review) and they were going to refund me the cost of the wrongly made partial. That is accurate! I am not a good fit for disorganized and disreputable behavior, poorly made dental appliances, excessive fees and a very controlling dental practice. I am glad to be gone from this dental practice and just wish that I had heeded the bad omens about this practice that were there from the start! read more

I've had work done by both doctor Freymiller and doctor Brown. Very polite professional and quite skilled. Would recommend to anyone in the area that is looking for the best in town. Thanks you all at smile design for making a bad experience turned great. And for a great smile :) lol read more

Words cannot begin to explain my positive experiences with Dr. Edwards and his staff. My first visit was an emergency on a Friday at 5:00. I had a hidden abscess that another dentist had treated as no big deal. Never did I expect a dentist to take me in as a new patient at that time of day on a Friday, but Dr. Edwards did. He had to pull the molar and there was the abscess dangling from the tooth! As I am a science teacher, I asked if he would be willing to a give a presentation to my middle school classes. He gladly agreed and showed up with tooth models and a real human skull! He is not only a top notch dentist, but is a true Renaissance man as he is knowledgeable on umpteen subjects which makes for interesting conversation! His staff is top notch also and their level of care is evident. I have my teeth cleaned every three months and actually look forward to going! I recommend this dental office with no reservations! read more

Just had my first, second, and third appointments all in 2022, and Dr. Haley Freymiller is absolutely AMAZING. Like a lot of people, I never enjoyed going to the dentist (who does, right?), but Dr. Haley somehow made the entire long process of getting fillings, relaxing, seemingly short, and easy. She is so gentle, detailed, kind, and genuine, that I drove over an hour to see her to have some fillings done that I had been putting off because of the pandemic. She is an expert who truly loves helping her patients with their dental health, and it shines through in all that she does. I recommend her for both adults and children, as she is incredibly kind and caring to the tenth power. She uses some of the best BPA-free materials, and has newer technologies like DIAGNOdent to detect cavities accurately, which a lot of other dentists don't have. She also takes ample time for her patients, answers all questions, and never rushes her appointments. Her office also offers patients everything from themed rooms (Star Wars, Space, Music, etc.) herbal tea, blankets, and massage chairs, to Pandora music and ceiling-mounted TVs with Netflix movies with headphones to pass time during dental treatments. Who would have thought going to the dentist for fillings would be on par with a spa day or a mini vacation. The staff is amazing and super kind as well; I could literally hear them smiling over the phone whenever I called to make an appointment. If heaven had a dentist office, Dr. Haley Freymiller would definitely be on the team; that's how awesome she is. Thank you to Dr. Haley and to everyone at the Smile Design & Wellness Center! read more

See all

After being a patient at this facility for over a year, I came to the understanding that they are not as professional or respectful as they portray themselves to be. 3 weeks ago I had a simple extraction at this dentist office and since then i've had severe pain through the left side of my face. When trying to consult the office and dentist about my concerns they referred me to go to a walk in clinic due to being "too busy". This was an inappropriate response due to the fact that they were the ones that treated the extraction in the first place. After my complaints, my dentist who caused this pain never even came to check up on me. The clinic pretends to care about their patients and charges an extremely high price from the services they provide without wanting to complete the work they've started. I am very disappointed in my experience at this clinic. I advise you to save your time and your money, and try to find a clinic that will not abandon you when a crisis occurs. read more

Dr. Chris Edwards is an awesome dentist! His office is high tech and clean and he's one of most highly trained dentists around. I'm a dentist myself so I should know. He safely removed 6 of my mercury fillings using safe protocols and helped me get mercury free in my mouth. He's always doing the very best for his patients and went over all my recommendations even though he knows I'm a dentist too. Just shows how thorough he is. BTW, did I mention I flew out from California to see him? I met him at a study club and I knew that he was the right dentist for me. He used a microscope during the procedure which helped him be a precise as he can. He also used air abrasion to help strengthen the bonding. I know this stuff not make sense to some patients but basically it means he goes the extra mile for the best results. BTW, he doesn't even charge extra for these extra technological toys and he really takes him time during procedures so you never feel rushed. He's a true perfectionist which is what you want in a dentist. Go see him if you need cosmetic dentistry, dental implants and especially if you're having health issues you may think are tied to your teeth. I forgot to mention he also holds a naturopathic degree which makes him one of top holistic dentists around! read more

I had a crown done for the first time at Smile Design and Wellness, Dr. Freymiller and her staff were wonderful. They made sure that I felt no discomfort, from distracting me when she was giving me novocaine, to offering me aromatherapy, headphones to listen to music and more. They kept checking to see that I was doing ok. As for the procedure I felt no pain at all, Dr. Freymiller is very gentle and kind. Best of all they have a new computerized way of taking an impression of the tooth so no more yucky impression material. After the procedure, I went home and had no discomfort at all. Highly recommend Dr. Freymiller! read more

Dr. Freymiller and Ruthie were an incredibly professional and skilled team. Full disclosure, I have MASSIVE anxiety about the dentist's office due to childhood trauma. Dr. Freymiller and Ruthie put me at ease, going above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable. During the procedures (filling & crown), their skill was fully evident, as they were as precise and thorough as they were smooth and efficient. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Freymiller, Ruthie, and the SDC team. read more

I spend part of the year in Florida, and am lucky to have found Smile Design Center. The staff is wonderful, and the office is a very welcoming environment that does a lot to soothe nerves if dentists make you nervous. The office seems to have a lot of new technology to make procedures less painful and have a quicker recovery. Dr. Edwards is a great dentist- he is very smart and courteous, and always lets you know what is being done to your teeth, and very honest about work you might need done, but there's never any pressure. His hygienists are all very nice and efficient, too. Highly recommended! read more

I can't imagine there being a better Dentist office anywhere around us. The reception staff is amazing. Always kind and professional. Extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the office. The hygienists and dental assistants are the best I've ever witnessed and truly try to make the dreaded trip to the dentist the smoothest, most comfortable experience they can. The dentists have no equals near by. Dr Brown is highly skilled in the art of biologic dentistry and can make the most nervous patient calm. Dr Edwards literally wrote the book in this style of dentistry and continues to stay on top of the latest techniques he can employ to make his patients lives easier. Blown away by this place!!! read more

I had heard many great things about Dr. Edwards and his office prior to my first visit. I am happy to say that everything I had heard was true right from the very first phone conversation with Lisa, his office administrator. Like many people I have been through my share of dentists over the past 40 or so years. Dr. Edwards is by far the most knowledgeable and highly skilled dentist I've met. His expertise and capabilities go far beyond the typical basic dentistry. He is up to speed on all of the latest tools, techniques and procedures to make even the most challenging procedures safe The staff at Smile Design Center is among the best I've seen. Very courteous! If there's even a chance my appointment might be delayed by even 30 minutes, they will call to let me know so I don't have to spend unnecessary time waiting. Dr. Edwards recently performed a skin graft procedure on one of my lower front teeth to fix a skin graft (performed by a previous dentist) that had fallen off. The night after the procedure Dr. Edwards called my at home to see how I was doing. Never in 45 years has a dentist done this for me? Also, during this particular appointment, Dr. Edwards had been running a little behind schedule and he and his staff were extremely apologetic about the delay. My dentist for life! read more

This center is awesome. Every person who works here seems to be super knowledgeable, helpful , friendly and totally professional. By the time I left there after my first visit I felt like I'd just been tended to by the dream team of Dentistry! By the way, their office has moved to Village Dr (Right near the intersection of Murrell and Viera Blvd). First off, Dr Edwards and his staff actually took time with me! The appointment took longer than I'm accustomed to but I received 100% great service with attention to my comfort while I was waiting and the most detailed exam I have ever had. The staff definitely did not hustle me in and out of there, like I've been used to in the past. I've been to several dentists over the years who just popped in at the end of a cleaning, poked around in my mouth for 5 seconds, said "Looks Good" and rushed out to see the next patient. Next thing I knew, I lost a tooth from damage I didn't know I had! Now that I've been to Smile Design I will never go anywhere else again. Members of the staff really spent time getting to know my history before I saw the Dr. Then Dr. Edwards gave me a comprehensive new patient exam assessing my bite, wear patterns, gum health, jaw muscles and just about everything I've never had anyone bother to spend time on before. He examined me using a high powered microscope and found pockets of decay just starting and chips, cracks and even fractures that weren't yet visible to the human eye. I could see for myself what he could see because he has a big monitor on the ceiling that projects what he's looking at and he points it out as he goes. He showed me where my bite was causing damage and wear to my teeth. He broke everything down for me in terms of priority and necessity, habit changes and also talked about things that I could do that were more cosmetic in nature. He told me which issues were emergent and went over plenty of options to address them. No doubt in my mind Dr Edwards and his staff are in it to heal-holistically and they know what they're doing! They looked at everything with the goal of getting to the root cause of the issues in my mouth. Im incredulous that this is not the standard of care everywhere for dentists in this country . He's out of network with my insurance company but they still picked up parts of it. As for the rest, he was worth every penny. After seeing all the things this dentist found and the other dentists missed (and even created in some cases) Smile Design and Wellness Center is a no-brainer, The icing on the cake was the awesome and detailed cleaning I received afterwards. I even learned how to floss my teeth differently after 40 years! Highly Recommended read more

Simply the best dental experience I have ever had! Dr. Edwards, Dr. Bunker, and their staff are all skilled and compassionate professionals. Dr. Edwards created two permanent crowns for me while I waited and fitted them to precision using a microscope. Truly state-of-the-art technology. No pain, just beautiful results. I am truly grateful to have found them and will never go elsewhere. read more

Yesterday Dr Edwards and his staff...especially his assistant miss Ruthie!!!! saved my smile and my pocketbook again!!! He replaced a leaking crown from a previous dentist and repaired the two adjacent teeth that were being decayed by the leaking crown...saved me tons of money that I would have had to pay for future extensive restorations and probably a couple root canals eventually.... They were so attentive and concerned about my comfort...Ruthie constantly made sure I was OK... Homeopathic dentistry coupled with the latest technology made the visit perfect. It says alot about a dentist that you can actually doze in the chair with the music in my headset and the lavender scented oils they provided! I really love this group!!! Dr Edwards calls himself a forever learner...which means he is always on top of technology!! ...the latest and greatest equipment. He saved my son's tooth because of the laser technology he had invested in...Other dentists, limited to old fashioned techniques and technology had weighed in previously and their prognosis was grim. Dentistry is not just a job for this office......its their passion! And that makes a huge difference in the care that their patients get...They really do care. The whole office staff is so wonderful...including Dr Brown whose new to the office...(though not new to dentistry! ) Yvette Gioia read more

I recently moved to Space Coast and was in desperate need of a dentist and searching for a biological dentist. I am so happy I researched and found Dr. Chris Edwards and the Smile Design and Wellness Center. I started with a comprehensive exam and was amazed at their thoroughness. They go over each and every tooth and even show you what's going on during the exam. The office atmosphere is professional with a relaxing atmosphere. All the chairs face windows, calming music, and a super friendly staff are few of the comforting amenities but they offer a lot more! The practice focuses on cutting edge holistic dentistry and has the very latest in technology. I had an infected tooth extracted yesterday and although it was a tough procedure I was never in any pain and feel amazingly great today. They are fairly priced and on par with most other dentists but you get a lot more knowledge, comfort, care and peace of mind with the Smile Design and Wellness Center! read more

Dr Brown is amazing! He extracted my wife's tooth and did an awesome job. Believe it or not, she didn't have any swelling or pain afterwards. They are high tech and "biological", which is great! Dr Brown even called my wife at night to see how she was doing. Then he saw my wife the very next day to do a low level laser treatment on her, even though it was his day off! Dr Brown is excellent and I would recommend his services. read more

It seemed like a lot of cheerleading at my first visit/consultation (the latest technology-videos of your mouth up on screens, massage seats, all kinds of fanciness), but when my actual cleaning happened it was a totally different experience. At the cleaning, water was streaming down my neck the whole time. The massage seats and fancy machines were all gone (not that I really wanted them, but it just seemed like they had them just to get me in the door.) They made my first cleaning two sessions because they claimed it was so overdue (it was only overdue by a few months). I know I'm not a professional, but making it two cleanings seems silly, my mouth didn't double in size. Making two visits felt excessive. They told me I would only be billed for the one cleaning, but then I got billed for both. I don't think they intentionally lied to me, I just don't think they were organized or maybe was someone was misinformed. I had been going to the same dentist for 20 years where I used to live. Smile design said I had four cavities. I have only ever had one cavity in my life, so four at once seemed crazy, my hygiene hasn't changed at all. I visited my hometown and had my original dentist give me a second opinion and they said that there was nothing to fill, and perhaps my new dentist (Smile Design) was being a little overzealous. Finally, scheduling appointments was unusually challenging because they have such limited availability. I definitely felt like a number as opposed to their patient. The staff were all super duper nice and courteous to me, but I don't feel like I can trust their opinion. I think I will be finding another dentist. read more
