Classic Smile is the best dentist around. The staff are so professional, facility is clean, enhanced COVID protocols and friendly staff that use the state of the art technology that makes the overall experience wonderful. They know their business and they are about patient care which I appreciate it.

I always praised classic smiles while my, now 86 year old mom was an active patient & in fact posted a 5 star review at the time over a year ago. However, within a couple months after her last denture adjustments were completed she refused to wear her new dentures citing her gums were continuously sore in the rear of her mouth/that the dentures protruded too much in the rear.
This is so unfortunate because perhaps by having to resort to her old dentures thereafter & up until the present, her lose of bone density has only worsened. I don't know if classic smiles would care to respond to this updated review but I'd welcome it. If not I would choose not to update another review & be respectful as was always the case with classic smiles.
Thank you, Beverly & Gary Melanson. Update to 5 stars! December 8th/2021 Dr. Shila Sharifi has done a superb job updating and correcting our concerns. Since my mom's previous appointment, she went through her adjustments & I was sure to follow all Dr. Sharifi's instructions during this time. Thank you all so very much! Everyone there have been so upbeat, polite and professional. Please all enjoy your holidays

I have been a patient for several years. Good service by the dental techs when your in the chair. Went in for my annual check up, X-rays, cleaning all were great. Was told that I would have to come back in 4 weeks as the dentist was not in and I needed an exam. I would have liked to have known that prior as I would have booked a day when I could get terminal care in one visit. Note one to to leave a review, but but the website does not have an email POC for the office manager.

I have been a patient at the Classic Smile for many years. I will not even entertain the idea of going anywhere else. From the ladies at the front desk who greet you to all the professionals who do your dental work, there are no better people to deal with. I love them! Top of their profession and they use the top of the line equipment. Where are you going to find a Class A operation from front to back?. At The Classic Smile. If you aren't a patient.you should be!

Going to get my teeth cleaned is more like a spa treatment. The staff is warm friendly and very professional. They also have the best music ever. My teeth have never been in such good condition my mouth feels great. Thanks Katherine! And at the end there's a warm eucalyptus towel and a tooth goodie bag. Who could ask for more.

I had such a great experience today at the Classic Smile. The office is up to date with all of the necessary equipment for COVID protocols which made me feel safe being there. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. Jannell was so sweet and went out of her way to help me set up an Uber to take home and even called me after to make sure I made it home okay. Dr. Gonzalez and Colleen were a great team and made my visit very comfortable. I highly recommend this office!
