I was so pleased with my visit today! Everyone was super friendly and professional. I have some anxiety when it comes to a dentist visit, but they put me at ease and did a wonderful job with my initial visit and cleaning.

Dr. Contos was easily the kindest dentist I've ever been to BY FAR. He and the other assistants explained everything they were going to do before they did it, they knew how much things were on my insurance and were able to figure out my long forgotten orthodontics treatment from when I was a kid. I was also in and out in an hour which was incredibly prompt. I'm very nervous in the dentist but he encouraged deep breathing and "zen moments" to help me deal with it in stages so I wouldn't become to stressed out. I cannot recommend the office enough.

Everyone at the office was extremely friendly. The dental hygienist and dentist were very clear at communicating what was going on and asked me questions. I generally have initial fears of going to the dentist after a bad experience, and all of the staff put me right at ease. I highly recommend!
Verified patient
Top class, best experience.
I cannot stress what an amazing bunch of wonderful people are at this office. Hands down the nicest, friendliest, knowledgable group I have ever encountered at a dentist office. I brought in two college students home on break and they were soooo accommodating and just pleasant ! Dentists came out and talked to me and I never ever got the impression it’s all about the money. I would highly recommend !!!!
Verified patient
I've always hated going to the dentist, but this time the experience was MUCH better than my experiences with other dentists in the past. It had been 5+ years since I've been to a dentist so I searched for one that has good bedside manner and wouldn't deter me from regularly getting checked up. I needed some fillings of course after all that time, and repairs on some old ones, but overall my visits were superb. The staff were very friendly and professional, and there was no wait time. Dr. Contos talks you through everything he's doing in a calming manner and is always aware of any discomfort you might feel. He also gives 100% effort, even if your teeth aren't in the best shape. I've had previous dentists that did a haphazard job, and the fillings were rough and not at all smooth and flush with the rest of the tooth because they assume you don't care rather than that the lack of perfection was due to other reasons (mental illness in my case). Would recommend Dr. Contos and his team 110%
Verified patient
Everyone at Contos Smile Center is friendly, informative, and non-judgmental, as it had been very long since my last dental appointment. Strongly recommend!
Verified patient
I haven’t been to the Dentist in quite sometime, so I was a bit nervous and quite embarrassed walking in. From the moment I walked in to the office I felt very welcomed, every single staff member in that office made me feel comfortable and at ease. Everyone was very professional and knowledgeable. I can’t wait to continue my dental journey with Dr. Contos and his staff. Thank you for such a great experience.
I could not have been happier with the service. I had not been to the dentist in several years and they made me feel at ease my anxiety. I would recommend most highly.

Great experience. Very informative, relaxing environment, cool tools to get an awesome in depth look at your dental health, excellent dental assistants, staff, and Dr. Contos is personable and educational.

Everyone in the office is friendly with a relatable bedside manner. Dr. Peter and the dental assistant explained everything well and in an easily understandable way. They made sure I was comfortable and apprised of what was happening and why.
Verified patient
After 2 years of being sent to dentists on my insurance plan that were by far inferior to the service I received today with Dr. Contos and Omar and covered with my insurance. Will continue with this dentistry.
Verified patient
I've never had a dentist explain things so thoroughly to me before, in such a caring way, completely understanding and respectful of my feelings. I don't worry about getting any procedures done here. And everyone is so nice– the dentists, receptionists, everyone.
Verified patient
I strongly recommend Dr. Contos and the Smile Center! The staff were friendly, the facility was clean and I was just so pleased with the way everything was handled. Dr. Contos really put me at ease by clearly explaining everything and making sure I understood what was happening before proceeding with each step. Definitely one of the best dental experiences I've ever had!
Verified patient
Very professional and EXCELLENT dental service!!
Great. Built a friendly relationship with the dentist which is a plus. I was explained everything well and in depth. Definetly the best dentist I've been to yet.
My visits with Dr. Contos are always enjoyable. The staff is friendly, efficient and accomodating. They gave me good advice how to take care of my teeth since I have braces and it can be a challenge. They also gave me a lot of free stuff too!
