Smiles 4 Kids

We've used Smiles 4 Kids since our children were toddlers and they are teens now. A great place for every age, they do their best to educate, not just tell them to brush their teeth. They have always been on point handling any scary moments, my middle daughter preferred them to pull her teeth vs herself when she was losing teeth. A great staff, a great atmosphere, if I could give more stars I would.

I called their office because my Kids’ dentist told us she needed a root canal and no one in our town had any availability until two months away, I called several offices in Grand Junction and this one was one of them. I asked if they did root canals because my child needs one according to her dentist the lady who answered the phone said yes we do but we will need to make a first appointment and then schedule the procedure. I thought that sounded reasonable, so I scheduled it for today. Keep in mind that we live an hour away and I had to take time off work so I can get the ball rolling with my kid’s treatment. We get here and for some reason, their windows have been vandalized (that should have been a tip-off) we check in and they want to do X-rays I asked them if they did not get the ones from our dentists because I was worried our insurance would not pay for another set of X-rays. The lady said we did not but no worries we like to do our own anyway and your insurance will pay. Finally time to see the dentist he goes in checks her teeth and says yup she needs a root canal and a filling on another molar. We can refer you to someone for this root canal. Wait a minute I thought you guys do root canals, dentists say nope we don’t so I explain my frustration and he just says well there must have been some sort of miscommunication and that pissed me off even more. I was very clear when I made the first phone call there was no misunderstanding on my part. You just like to scam people and bill their insurance. Don’t waste your time here they are not worth the boards that are covering their windows.

This is the dentistry to take your children to! They work at an appropriate pace for the child. The front desk staff are friendly and the Dentist is very skilled, family oriented, and funny. They work wonderfully with Special Needs Families

I never write reviews but this place is absolutely HORRIBLE. Right when you walk in something seems off. It looks like a pop-up telemarketing office more than a medical/dental office, and there is zero effort made to appeal to their kid patients. I brought my toddler here and was told he would need 4-5 extractions. This seemed suspect since less then 2 weeks prior his regular dentist had seen him and that's not at all what the referral was for. They also wanted me to come in for multiple appointments because my insurance would "only pay for so many teeth at a time". Luckily my gut feeling paired with the uneducated, misinformed, highly disorganized, and RUDE front office staff put me off brining him for the appointment. Upon getting a second opinion he needed ZERO EXTRACTIONS and just some simple caps which was all done in a single appointment lasting less than 1 hour. This place's staff DOES NOT HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL PEDIATRIC TRAINING. It is exactly what it looks like: a bottom rung operation run by minimally educated and unprofessional staff milking insurance money with unnecessary procedures and visits. The only reason they haven't been sued is probably because they cater to low-income medicaid patients who can't afford to stand up for themselves in a legal battle. RUN FROM THIS PLACE and believe the bad reviews.

Definitely would not recommend. My son needed cavities fixed and the procedure that was recommended seemed very intense and traumatizing so I went to a different dentist to get a second opinion, turns out the procedure that smiles for kids offered is extremely traumatic for kids to go through and goes against guidelines.

My visit at Smiles 4 Kids was really great everyone in the office was amazing from start to finish everything was super professional and my Assistant Perla treated me amazing and Dr.Ryan was very funny. I ended up making friends with all the girls in the office they were all like family. Such an amazing experience for sure.

Smiles 4 Kids is a great place to take your kids for their dentistry needs.
They are always very friendly and extremely knowledgeable.
We just came in today for my sons yearly checkup and was taken care of by Alex, she was awesome and keep my son laughing the whole time.
Thank you to everyone who works at Smiles 4 Kids.
