Detailed Introduction

Kool Smiles is a prominent brand operating a network of Dental clinics across numerous states in the U.S., including Arkansas, Arizona, Connecticut, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, and Washington D.C. The organization focuses on expanding access to quality dental care, particularly for children and families in low-income and underserved communities. Kool Smiles offers a comprehensive suite of dental services, catering to patients of all ages, from infants to young adults, and even parents and adults. Their services include general dentistry (e.g., routine exams, cleanings, fillings), children's dentistry, orthodontics, oral surgery, periodontics, endodontics, cosmetic dentistry, and dental implants. They emphasize preventive care, aiming to educate patients and families on good oral hygiene habits to prevent future issues. A key aspect of the Kool Smiles patient experience is their commitment to creating a comfortable and child-friendly environment. Their offices typically feature brightly colored waiting rooms with play areas, and their staff are trained to work gently with children. Parents are often welcome to accompany their children during treatment. Kool Smiles aims to make dental visits a positive experience, reducing anxiety often associated with dental appointments, and they use kid-sized tools for increased comfort. They also offer options like nitrous oxide ("laughing gas") for anxious patients. Beyond clinical care, Kool Smiles is deeply involved in community outreach and dental health education. They invest in charitable giving programs, dental health education initiatives, and events like "Operation Troop Treats" (a Halloween candy exchange supporting U.S. troops) and "Sharing Smiles Day" (a national day of free dental care for children without insurance). They also provide free dental health lesson plans for schools, reinforcing their mission to promote oral health and overall well-being. Kool Smiles accepts a wide range of insurance plans, including Medicaid, TRICARE, and CHIP (formerly SCHIP), alongside most major commercial insurance companies, aiming to make dental care affordable and accessible. While generally well-regarded for its mission and accessibility, Kool Smiles has faced scrutiny and legal challenges in the past regarding billing practices and the necessity of certain procedures, to which the company has responded with explanations and data. Despite these historical issues, the brand continues to operate with a focus on providing comprehensive dental services with a strong emphasis on community engagement and patient education.

I was very pleased with first the professional staff and outstanding customer service at Kool Smiles. Also, the wait for my children was very short before seeing the health care providers. Follow up appointments were set quickly and easily. Just an overall pleasant experience. Keep up the excellent work.

P. S. I love the 5 o clock appointment time; the children didn't have to miss any school and I didn't miss a lot of work.

I cannot say enough great things about this place. Appointment was at 1, arrived by 1230 just to fill out forms since it was our first time. Forms are pretty much half filled out by front receptionist (both who were absolute darlings). We were called in by 110, every worker is absolutely sweet and they greet you and smile as they’re passing by you. The cleaning is actually interesting, it is an open room with 8 chairs and they make the parent stand to the side which is a great idea because it kind of leaves the kids with the hygienists and lets them be more independent. My daughter was sat, examined, had x-rays and then had a cleaning. Dr. Brown did come by before hand to speak with me about any concerns.

After cleaning was done she came over again and advised that she would be doing some work on my daughter and the dental assistant Kim took us to a room in the back. Clean, open, and very spacious office. They even have a blanket in the room since it tends to be cold. My daughter had to get some work done and always freaks out. Dr. Kim immediately suggested laughing gas and it literally worked wonders! My daughter was a gem through the process and Kim and Dr. Brown were amazing talking to her and reassuring her the whole time. There was no judgement from the dentist, no grilling questions asking why my kid had a couple of cavities.

They booked the next two appointments on the spot. My daughter walked away with goodies and a smile on her face and couldn’t stop talking about how much she loved this dentists office. Honestly, your office is awesome full of amazing staff. We will always come back and always recommend. Special thank you to Kim and Dr. Brown for her exceptional work!!

This was my first visit with my 3 year old son who is very active and can be a bit impatient and scared of Doctor’s offices but I must say that they staff made sure that he was comfortable with procedures instead of treating my son like just another number. Ashleigh and Lekreshia are two awesome young women that you know actuality care about their job and even better their little patients.

Thank you ladies you made this visit very comfortable and pleasant for my son and I!!!

This was my daughter's first visit to the dentist. The women who greeted us at the front desk we're very professional. The lobby was clean the play area was nice for the kids. The staff made my daughter feel welcome and happy. They made me feel at ease.

Sierra was especially awesome with my daughter. Every child was happy and smiling. They made everyone feel comfortable. I'm very grateful I found this place for my daughter and I look forward to her next appointment.
