Smiles of Ohio 700 is the kind of dental practice that makes you rethink what a dentist visit should be. My family has been coming here for 2 years, and Dr. Carter’s team balances expertise with genuine warmth. The office is bright and welcoming, with a kid zone that keeps my 4-year-old entertained, and the staff remembers his favorite superhero stickers. Dr.

Carter is fantastic with both kids and adults—his gentle touch during my son’s first cleaning made it a game, and his work on my wife’s veneers is stunning. The hygienists are thorough but kind, and they take time to explain oral care tips. They work around our busy schedules, handle insurance smoothly, and even send a quick check-in after procedures. It’s dental care with a smile—literally and figuratively.

I had the best experience with all of the doctors. I absolutely love my smile even more after the Braces are off! All my checkups have gone smoothly and now I don’t need to go in, unless I have an issue! The process went so smoothly and they were off before I knew it!
