“This was my first time seeing a new dentist. I was with my previous dentist for over 22 years who's now retired. Upon entering the doors of Smile Obsession I was greeted by friendly smiling staff members. The entire office was clean. Dr. Purav Shah and the entire staff were very polite, informative all my questions were answered and great patience was used to assist me with my needle phobia. I would and have recommend Smile Obsession to family and friends already. Nothing but a great experience.”

I have a lot of dental anxiety and I let the office know beforehand. Everyone was super patient, kind, and encouraging -- no snide remarks about my teeth!

I came in to see Dr. Shah and had a wonderful experience. The best dentist visit ever. They use the state of the art technology and he took time to explain everything in detail with visuals. Not to mention coming up with a short & long term plan. Almost like a partnership approach. Definitely recommended.
January 15, 2026Eric H.Verified patient
I am 52 years old and this was by far the best experience I've ever had at a dentist office, amazing is a better word. I got majority what i needed done on my appointment and the price was very reasonable. I got quotes from other dental offices and the prices were crazy!! also those other places stated it would take 4 different sessions to do my procedure, with payments all four times. This was done in 1 session and completed paid off in less than 2 hours!! i recommend this place and Dr. Shaw and Anna were super Professional!! 10's across the board, I work for a k-8 charter school and have been telling all my co-workers about this amazing place, don't hesitate, book your appointment now!!!
