“One and a half years ago, our long-time Dental Office dropped our insurance and we had to find another dentist. I didn't feel good about the dental office we went to. They were to eager to spend our $s. I had always had great tooth care with the previous dentist, but my mouth felt beaten up, so I searched for a woman dentist who would care for my small sensitive teeth. After visiting the previous dentist for a year and half, Dr. Sellappan found more cavities than I could count on 1 hand. My teeth had deteriorated so much I was shocked. Dr. Sellappan and her staff are wonderful. They took good care of my teeth. The environment was very clean and they made me feel cared for. I am going to send my husband to them next. TD”

The beside manner was excellent! I was very scared, nervous, anxious and they gave me time to breathe. I was in quite a bit of pain because of my gums and Dr. said will finish at another time. They were patient and answered my questions and concerns.

Very welcoming staff. Was seen right away and all were very knowledgeable and professional in getting a plan of action to get my dental issues resolved.

An amazingly warm and friendly staff and doctor. I have never felt as comfortable in any dentist chair as I did here. The x-ray tech and hygienist were both personable and engaging. Upon leaving, there was no "let's schedule your next appointment for the issues we found" pressure. I will decide what I want done and in what time frame. Who'd have thought they want to go back for another appointment? I do!

This has been the best experience I've had for a dental visit. I'm not someone who does reviews but this team deserves it! Starting with Natalie at the front desk, she was warm, welcoming, full of energy and knowledgeable. made me feel like a missed family member that she hasn't seen in a while. I loved the check in process, quick and efficient! I was immediately greeted by the doctor right after, and she really made sure I understood the whole process for care plan. Also, the young lady taking my X-rays had me trying to talk in between scans, that's how enjoyable our conversation was! She was professional, Knowledgeable, very efficient, gave me great references for things that will enhance my health overall. I feel like I went to see my extended family and got some good information to make my smile better and overall health improve. I can't wait to come back.

A breath of fresh air in dental care. The team was friendly, informative, and took the time to explain everything clearly. They offered several treatment options tailored to my needs and never made me feel rushed. I highly recommend them if you’re looking for a dentist and staff who truly go beyond a simple “in and out” experience.

Had an appointment for 10:15 on 12/01/25. Nobody in office until 11:00. Dentist was off somewhere at a wedding. Never cancelled my appointment it was the first appointment ever. This never happened to me in my life before. I am 82 years old. I travelled at least an hour to get there.

I loved my experience with the doctor and the staff. They treated me very well. Communicated completely throughout the service. Worked with my budget and provided the discounts available. I highly recommend this dentist office tremendously and definitely will return.

Nice atmosphere, not an A-typical dentist office. As my wife said, "It more like a spa!" From the receptionist to the Doctors are all very friendly and helpful. My wife and I are both very satisfied from atmosphere to outcome. If you're on the cuspids of going to the dentist, I highly recommend Smile Spot Dentistry and keep on smiling!!! ??????
