Meet the Team
The entire team at Smile Wonders is fantastic! They communicate effectively, are super friendly, and I love how child-friendly the entire environment is for the children. What I love most is that they take the time to ask the little patient of they are comfortable and actually listens when my kiddo expresses any discomfort. Thanks so much for all you do. Dee W.Dee W.

Dr.Dang, Karizma and Tiana are absolutely phenomenal! I brought my two daughters in for a cleaning and check up and from the time we walked in the door to when we walked out, we had a blast! My kids get so excited to go to the dentist now. Dr. Dang is so kind, gentle, tells my kids what she’s doing and why. Thank you Smile Wonders!Meagan H.
