Fantastic experience: Great visit again with a great team of dental care professionals. Somewhere between my last visit my 6 month appointment was lost in the shuffle. Smith professionals spotted this, made contact with me and worked me into the schedule. Had a great appointment with Kym and I’m all bright and shiny again. Thanks Darla for the follow up on me and my appointment! Great group of professionals plus a very fun bunch to associate with. They make going to the dentist a piece of cake, so to speak. Kym is my hygienist and she does an excellent job, not only in cleaning my teeth but making me feel comfortable during the process. I don’t mind going to the dentist at all. Thanks Smith Dental Care. You are the best.

Fantastic experience: My visit to Smith Dental was very positive. Everyone was so nice and very helpful. Dr. Joe explained things in an understandable manner and was very patient and understanding. My fears just melted away thanks to such a positive environment. Thank you to the dental nurse and the financial person for their friendliness. The office staff were equally cordial and very helpful. Thank you for making this dreaded dental appointment a plesant experience! Blessings. Nona Duree Taylor
Fantastic experience: My wife & I have been patients of Dr. Joe for years at Smith Dental Care. Just a super staff, friendly & so helpful.
Fantastic experience: I was very impressed with their professionalism and comprehensive explanation of the procedure I need.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been a patient of Smith Dental in Tyler for years. I have a health condition that directly affects my teeth. My past dental experiences, before changing to Smith Dental, was a source of anxiety and dread. Dr. Ogletree and ALL the staff at Smith have completely changed that for me. I always receive the BEST care no matter if it’s routine X-rays & cleaning or major work that is needed. Everyone is highly skilled, professional, and KIND. The friendly atmosphere puts me at ease and any anxiety I feel fades away as soon as the interactions begin. I can say without hesitation that Dr. Ogletree is the BEST dentist I’ve ever had, and I have been to many! I am grateful that I am a patient at Smith Dental.
Fantastic experience: From the beginning, walking in the door, we got a warm welcome from the front desk. The lobby is comfortable and calm, the restrooms clean. Every person we met on staff was pleasant, helpful, and very efficient. My family and I are impressed with the dental care, professionalism, and atmosphere, and are very pleased we chose Smith Dental Care.
Fantastic experience: Smith Dental is the best. Caring staff. I highly recommend!!
Fantastic experience: I needed a new dentist quickly after finding out my provider of 20 years had vanished. Called Smith Dental and they got me in quickly! Very professional from check in to check out. I saw Dr. Solomon- highly recommend him. The insurance strategy used by Snith is different from many other providers so make sure you understand that up front. They can give you tons of detail on how insurance is used for services. If you’re in East Texas this is the place to go.
Fantastic experience: My experience at Smith Dental was great , looking forward for my next visit ..

Fantastic experience: It’s so refreshing in the current state of the country to find a business that treats people like valued customers. Every interaction I’ve had with smith dental has been flawless. Staffed with the friendliest and most capable people I’ve ever dealt with. They have done a fantastic job for me and definitely earned my loyalty. Hopefully this review will convince someone else so they can actually enjoy a trip to the dentist rather than dread it.
Fantastic experience: The dentist has always been my worst nightmare but when my filling came out I knew i had to go. That's when I came across so many great reviews on Smith Dental. I can not say enough good things about how I was made to feel there, from the front desk to the end. I'm extremely grateful.
Fantastic experience: Shelby was my hygienist! She was absolutely amazing. She talked to me throughout my deep cleaning. I do not like going to the dentist nor the cost of going to the dentist, but Shelby did an incredible job.

Fantastic experience: Timely appointment for loose crown! As always great staff and clean facilities.
Fantastic experience: I have a disabled son and Kim gave him a great cleaning. Very patient and soft spoken. So glad I found them.
Fantastic experience: Great experience! Everyone was so easy to work with.
Fantastic experience: Smith Dental Care has all the right personnel to make your dental experience 5 stars. My first time there after moving to Tyler and it was the best choice I could have made. From the reception desk to the care I received once in the chair I was glad I chose them to look after my dental needs.
Positive experience: The lady at the front desk was very helpful. This was just a consultation visit. My appointment was far 9:45 but it took a hour before I was seen. I assume they were very busy for a Monday morning.. although dr Adam was very nice he explained the different options I had.
Fantastic experience: Yay for comfortable dental chairs..professional staff and a wonderful Dentist! Dr Solomon is the best!
Fantastic experience: Always a great experience, the best dental office in East Texas!
Fantastic experience: Kim has been my dental hygienist for years and it’s a great experience going to Smith Dental since 2008.
Fantastic experience: I was a new patient at Smith Dental Care and unfortunately had not been to see a dentist in quite some time. I was very impressed with the kindness of their staff and the comfort of their facility with modern equipment as well as the skill level of their staff. From check in through treatment consultation and checkout, they were all top notch! I will definitely be back for the next step in my treatment!
Fantastic experience: My entire visit was fantastic! I am seriously considering changing to them for all my dental needs!
Positive experience: My appt with Dr Douglas was changed from 1:30 on the 6th to 10:30 and I saw Dr Herrington for a Consultation, not Dr Douglas. He determined that my problem tooth was #21, not 19, and requested that I take the remaining Amoxicillin and see him again on the 20th. A root canal may not be required.
Fantastic experience: I can't say enough nice things about Smith Dental. The whole staff there is always super nice and welcoming. Dr. Ogletree is so nice and always keeps you informed during a procedure. This is the best place to go for anyone who has dental anxiety. Hands down best dental care in East Texas!
Fantastic experience: Everyone was great front office to the back! Very strategic when planning my daughter’s dental needs. Highly recommend coming here.
Fantastic experience: Smith Dental is the best experience I’ve ever had at a dentist appointment!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Joe Smith and his staff showed exceptional care and attention to my brother in law (who is special needs) who was having a wisdom tooth pulled. What I thought was really amazing is that he let my brother in law grab hold of his arm as a way of showing security and comfort to my brother in law while he got the tooth out. I would definitely recommend him 10000%!! We will be back to have more pulled
Fantastic experience: Routine cleaning was excellent as usual. Then Dr. Joe responded to my complaint about catching my lip in a newly emerging overlap between teeth. Minutes later the sharp points had been ground away, and I’ve been injury free since then. Thanks!
Fantastic experience: I’m using someone else’s email. My name is Phyllis. First, the reception atmosphere was lovely, as well as the waiting room. Second, the dentist and his technicians were awesome.
Fantastic experience: Love love love these girls! This Facility is clean and presentable, very welcoming. I love the Dentists as well, both of the men I met were very compassion and had great information regarding Invisalign and veneers. They really seemed to be invested and tried their best to explain what the processes would be. Any questions I had they did their best to answer. The lady that cleaned my teeth did a fabulous job, although getting my teeth cleaned is unpleasant she made the experience bearable.
Fantastic experience: Very pleasant staff and easy to deal with. Listened to the issue I was there to for and explained possible solutions. Very helpful.
Fantastic experience: Staff is very personable. Know your name & treat you like family. Care is professional and you know cost & options beforehand. Love this group!
Positive experience: They always do a very good job. But it cost me $308 for cleaning, xrays, and a five minute visit from Dr. Joe. The entire time I was in their office there were at least three girls talking about recipes in the hallway. I wonder if all those employees standing around were part of the reason the price of my office visit was so high.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Ogletree and her staff were so caring and professional. I so much appreciate it their care and concern for me. A special shout out to Dr Ogletree and Kim. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: I found everyone to be very friendly and informative. Great experience
Fantastic experience: Dr. Solomon is the best. Always a pleasure to see him even disliking the dentist. Pleasant manners
Fantastic experience: Would give 10 stars if possible, staff is great, dr joe is kind and professional. He came out with my husband to make sure he got in our jeep safely after sedation extractions. He called in the evening to check on my husband. We've been there many times before, this is all regular procedure for them. This is a business truly worthy of your business. Very happy wife☺️
Negative experience: Place is a rip off. Say they accept insurance. Then charge you up front cash and say you'll get refunded whatever insurance pays later! Overpriced as well got a tooth pulled in van with insurance fir 75 dollars. They charged me 315 dollars just to pull one tooth! Don't waste your time find a better dentist office!!!
Fantastic experience: Love my dentist. They make me feel special every time I’m there.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going here for over 20 years and have never had a bad experience. Staff are welcoming and attentive. Dr. Ogletree is the best! Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Great work on installing a crown after a root canal! Very personable and caring team! Very comfortable atmosphere, chair side manner and low anxiety techniques. The doc himself even called to personally check on me that evening! Thank you Doc Joe!
Fantastic experience: The staff are so friendly, Everyone greeted me with a bright beautiful smile from start to finish,I literally can't wait to go back I used to be terrified of the dentist but since Ive been coming to Smith Dental, I must say it's been a great experience, but hey don't take my word for it book your appointment today, you won't be disappointed

Fantastic experience: I love coming to Smith Dental! Christy is always so positive and fun. Dr. Ogletree is always nice and friendly. The entire atmosphere is cozy, and I feel at home. The staff is always friendly. They do a great job too.
Positive experience: If I am going to pay for nitrous I do not need to be told that it is high enough when I do not feel it. I was carrying on conversations with the dental assistant and she even commented there was no sign of nitrous intoxication. Very uncomfortable during the appointment. First time and hopefully the last or I will seek dental service elsewhere.
Fantastic experience: I am an ex smoker so I have to have deeper cleanings and have them more often. Other places I've gone I am in quite a bit of pain when I leave. To my surprise that wasn't the case with Hope. She was great and did an even better job then other places too. I have zero hesitation going back now.
Fantastic experience: I can’t say it’s a pleasure for me to go to the dentist!! But Kacie, dental hygienist, speaks in a calm, soothing voice to help me relax to keep me from “Clawing” her chair!! The staff are friendly and professional and make me feel exceptional. I have been a patient of Smith Dental Care for many years and highly recommend their services.
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with everyone I came in contact with from the receptionist to the doctor. The dental hygienist and her assistant were awesome! And the appointment didn’t take that long at all.
Fantastic experience: Everything About the procedure was explained to me beforehand. I was given plenty of nitrous and the other anesthetic to not have lots of pain. Dr. Joe also told me he was going to follow up later in the day about how I was feeling, and he did so.
Fantastic experience: Everything about the dental care was pleasing I was explained Everything with Dr. Solomon and his assistant. I had a chance to ask questions and know my total price upfront without any hidden prices. Looking forward to seeing this place again

Fantastic experience: Absolutely the BEST in every way! Staff is compassionate, intelligent and helpful. Dr. Douglas extracted a tooth for me and I had NO PAIN.

Their practice is run like a well-oiled machine with everyone being at the top of their game! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
