“My commitment to my patients” from Dr. Espino, the dentist and owner of SMI Dental

“SMI Dental stands for Smiles Made with Integrity and that idea drives every aspect of my practice. To me, integrity means treating people not just like individuals, but also like family. Integrity means delivering quality treatments that reflect the actual needs and goals of patients, never pushing procedures that are not in their best interests. Integrity means finding ways to make treatment affordable in an increasingly costly world. Integrity means simply taking care of people as they should be cared for. Smiles Made with Integrity is exactly what you are going to find at SMI Dental and is a commitment I make to each and every patient in my practice.”

What our clients say

Cassie Aragon

First time and great experience!! Staff were friendly and inviting. Took the time to allow me to share the discomfort I was having in my teeth and was able to take care of my pain. Dr Espino was amazing and very attentive focusing on getting me the relief I was searching for. I am so grateful my daughter referred me and that they seen me right away. I will be switching to him as my new dentist.

Cecilia Morales

Dr. Espino is very professional. He took the time to explain everything in details. I highly recommend him to anyone who has anxiety going to a dentist, very caring.

Luana Pullaro

They are the best. I have always had a fear, and went to see them. Very nervous, but the staff always listens and made me feel important and did what could be done to make my experience good. Dr Espino had the perfect trust with me the first time, and then on, and he never fails. A dental office who truly make their patients feel special. Thanks for taking care of me. 😉

Rex Smith

Dr. Espino is the best. Very professional and personable. He took the time to explain everything in layman’s terms. I highly recommend him to anyone who has anxiety going to a dentist.

Maryuri Casalis

Hi I came from Miami and I had not been able to find a dental office with such incredible people who treated me so well from the front desk to the doctor who is very professional and knowledgeable. I confess that I am terrified of the dentist because my mother is a dental assistant and since I was little she took me to her work and I only made her cry because that place terrified me and the whole procedure they did to me gave me a lot of pain. But thanks God I found the perfect place for me. congratulations guys I am very grateful to you. Please continue to maintain such a beautiful office I loved the decoration and the distributions it is really a place to relax. many blessings.

Kimberly Cozbey

Dr.Espino and his staff are wonderful! They are very professional without being too stuffy. They work quick with complete accuracy, and Dr.Espino always explains exactly what you need or what\’s wrong with your teeth. The office is clean, and you are always greeted with a kind welcome. I personally am grateful as an established patient that they are willing to work with you financially and split payments when needed. I highly recommend them to anyone

Leslie Pinnegar

Amazing service from start to finish! We have had the same hygienist for over 10 yrs! Allison is the best! Beautiful new facility! Top notch service! Dr Espino is extremely personable and all of his office staff are very accommodating!

Siri

I had to have a crown placed after my tooth cracked. Dr Espino and his staff are very nice and accommodating. My crown looks amazing! I will be returning soon for regular dental work. I highly recommend this place.

Liz

I had a broken tooth. Called and got an appointment for next day. He has a sense of humor and put patient\’s welfare as a priority. Took care of my issue in 1 appointment. Thank you Dr E & his team.

Chelsea B.

The doctor and staff are friendly and efficient. I came in to get fillings, and it was a meticulous process that was over quickly! Fillings can be scary, and I typically have anxiety, however they took good care of me.

Richele

From the office staff to the assistants to the Dr. this place is all around wonderful. Everyone is helpful and respectful. I would recommend this dentistry to anyone as the best around hands down. Amazing experience!

Marisol Forschbach

I was very impressed with the time Dr Espino took to go over my xrays and explain to me what he recommended. Office was beautiful. Staff was amazing. I was giving a price summary of what needed to be done and it was a fraction of what my other dentist was charging. I like that he does the crown in house so I don’t have to walk around for two weeks with a temporary one. I couldn’t be more happier. Great experience.

Tony Miele

Needs a crown fixed called to schedule an appointment and they got me in within 2 days. Office is very clean and they have the most current technology devices. Dentist was personable and did a great job I would highly recommend them
