I have been going to The Smile for 10 years now. The last two times I have seen Dr. Kang. The first time he did not have the best bedside manors but i thought it might be an off day. I mentioned maybe wanting to fill in a chip on one of my teeth and he said let me look said yeah we can do that and began showing tools in my mouth with out asking me if i could even afford or approve the work he was about to do. I foot the bill and scheduled for my next cleaning 6 months later. I was told to floss more and on my way. I've been flossing much more. Went back in yesterday and was greeted by the lovely staff. They took me back got me cleaned and then it was time for Dr. Kang to come in. He was very short didn't talk to me in the same way he did the two women in the room next to me. He looking my mouth told me to turn my head back and chin up. I did as much as the chair would allow and he said more and gripped me by my front teeth and pulled my head back. Then tells me my teeth are awful there is soo much plaque and asked when i was seen last and by who. I said you 6 months ago. He said we need to do a deep cleaning now you're going to loose all of your teeth in the next 5 years max. Then told me to floss twice a day and do better. He said "do you want to keep you teeth?" I replied yes. Then he asked "i know you want to keep eating food. I know you love to eat". For reference I'm a plus sized woman. I was mortified tears ran down my face. He spent about 5 minutes deep cleaning and sent me to the front. I went to check out and asked what i would have to pay and she said well you had a deep cleaning so the deductible is $50. I paid and was told i needed to make a post op follow up for one month. After i left i was researching how to help my teeth on top of flossing twice a day. And found out deep cleaning are a long procedure that takes 45 mins - 2 hours per side of the mouth. Yet mine took all of 5 mins 10 max for my whole mouth. I called and got a second opinion and canceled my post op appointment. When asked why i was canceling i explained all this and she said Im sorry you felt that way im sure he didn't mean it. Take what you want from this. read more

Everything was great! The front office & technicians are all SMILEY! Dr. Kang was friendly & funny! He fixed my broken teeth & even made time for an unscheduled cleaning! There was absolutely NO pressure for braces or Invisalign, even though I definitely need 1 of them! I will absolutely be back!! Before & after photos will follow soon! read more

I went to the Smile Dentist in Independence. As soon as they found out I had excellent insurance coverage they pressured me into an expensive procedure and then insisted I had a long term condition ( which was bogus ). They hosed me and my insurance for a few months until I had enough of their dubious business practices including overcharged co-pays which they kept like a Bank but with no interest.They even tried saying my wife had the beginning of the same bogus condition as myself. This particular business is fraught with misdirection and untruths just to enrich their money supply. I would urge anyone to avoid this place or use caution if you use their services! read more
