Straight across the board, this group of people are the best. Kristen is just wonderful. She is kind and compassionate and just a fine person. If you need a dental clinic that has great family value this is it. Please visit Smith and Emerick Family Dental today. -Fredina.




I’ve been with the team at Smith and Emerick Family Dental for about a year now. Of course they have a clean, convenient space and modern equipment, but the true difference maker is the friendly, expert care. Shauna, the hygienist is a joy every visit and I’ve never felt even a pinch of discomfort. You won’t regret choosing this practice for your dental care! -Shad B.
