Detailed Introduction

Kool Smiles Dentist is a significant dental care provider established in 2002, built on the mission to provide quality dental care to often overlooked and Underserved Communities. With headquarters in Marietta, Georgia, the organization operates numerous clinics across various states in the United States. Kool Smiles positions itself as a general dentistry practice that caters to both children and adults, with a strong emphasis on Pediatric Dentistry. Their service offerings are comprehensive, including general dentistry, children's dentistry, Orthodontics (traditional braces, clear aligners, invisible braces), endodontics (root canal therapy), and oral surgery (wisdom tooth extraction, dental implants). They prioritize preventive care through regular exams, cleanings, sealants, and fluoride treatments. A core aspect of their approach is making dental visits enjoyable and less anxiety-inducing, especially for children, by creating welcoming environments and employing techniques like "Tell, Show, Do." Kool Smiles is known for its accessibility, accepting various insurance plans including Medicaid and CHIP, and offering family discount dental plans for uninsured patients. They have also engaged in community partnerships and initiatives like "Sharing Smiles Day" to provide free care to uninsured children and promote oral hygiene education. The company aims to make dental care convenient by offering multispecialty services under one roof, reducing the need for patients to visit multiple specialists. While aiming to provide high-quality care, it's worth noting that like many large dental service organizations, Kool Smiles has faced some controversies and negative reviews regarding treatment necessity, as seen in some online patient discussions. Nevertheless, their stated mission and operational model focus on expanding access to dental care for diverse socioeconomic backgrounds.

Stephen & Stephanie was the best, loved the care they gave me and my daughter. Make this a very comfortable and fun visit. Stephen did an amazing job on my teeth. Stephanie handled my 2 year old like a charm, which my daughter loved. Big Thanks for you great work.!

This office is awesome! I had a slight scheduling issue with the Hampton office but the Newport news office fixed it! I was scheduled for fill ins at the Hampton office but found out I couldn't get my fill ins without a cleaning so I called the Newport news office and the manager Amanda fit me in just 1 hour later. The staff there is amazing! I had my newborn son with me and they took over so I could get my work done! Steve has a wonderful personality he has so much to talk about! I love that because it kept me distracted from what he was doing! Stephanie was nice and pleasant. Diamond was nice explained every thing that was going on. Very professional! Dr. Darensburg was nice and pleasant as well.

Very quick with the anesthesia. What stood out the most is how patient they were and they took the time out to help with my son. They literally took turns until he fell asleep. Very nice staff there! I will be back! Thanks you guys!

Really disappointed and depressed thinking about Kool Smiles. My mom brought my brothers and I here as kids, they preyed on us as my mom was uneducated and saw affordable dentistry. After never having a cavity in my life, I suddenly had 8?! In total they filled 12 of my teeth. This was unnecessarily painful and detrimental to the health of my teeth… all at the expense of children?! so staff can go home with a couple more dollars.

This is cruel, disgusting, and pathetic for those Dentist that would benefit from over-treating naive kids. I would never take my children here and strongly recommend going to a better dentist or at least getting a second opinion at a consult. They have been sued and you have been warned. Please avoid at all costs!
