300+ 5 Star Reviews!

I went in for my first visit after hearing very good things about Effingham Smiles and I am so glad I chose them. Everything so far has been amazing. The communication via text is great, the office is very warm and inviting. Nothing like my old experience with creepy office buildings with cold waiting rooms and hospital vibes… I look forward to hearing back from them soon so we can get started on making me smile again 🙂

The team is fantastic. They were able to get me in on short notice and took care of my issue. An important thing for me is that they can do all of my work there. No more running around to different dentists for some of the advanced work I might need.
