About us: 

Smile Family Dentist has been serving this community since 1989. In the beginning it was part of a comprehensive clinic and then branched out on its own and has been located at 247 E116st since January 2001. This central location of the “Barrio” is essential for allowing us to continue to serve the people of the neighborhood, who have been coming to this office for years, and allows us to grow, and see patients who travel ad don’t live close by.

Our range of services has grown to include not only essential services like fillings, and cleanings but also a wide range of cosmetic services like bonding, laminates and orthodontics.

We are accessible by uptown bus, downtown bus, and close to #6 train.

What to Expect on Your First Visit

Payments
When you arrive for your appointment you will be asked about your payment method, these may include insurances, Medicaid, and private.

Private patients don’t have insurance, so they are paying. Some methods of paying include checks, money orders, credit cards, and of course cash. We also have office financing.

We accept most insurance for exams and basics services. Sometimes there is a co-payment for services such as bridges, crowns or dentures.

Health History
When you arrive, you will also be asked to fill out a health history form. This allows us to see what procedures or anesthetics are appropriate for you.

We use the latest and best sterilization techniques in the office. All patients are welcomed to see our techniques. No patients are discriminated against by what is in their health history.

Personal Information
You will be asked questions such as name and address.

All information will be kept confidential. This information will be used for billing purposes and recalls which are cards sent every six month to remind the patient for a new check up.
