Jul Says...
As a previous braces-wearer, I was reluctant to get back in the chair for another year of more tinkering and adjustments. Cleary hanging onto some major misconceptions, I was absolutely blown away with the ease of the orthodontic regimen. Compliance is key. Beyond that, these minor adjustments yield incredible improvements each month. By the time I got my permanent tray, I was floored by the overall results.
A note about the quality of care here- because it deserves its own review. Especially given the current health crisis, finding truly individualized care can be tough. Dr James and her team have not only adapted to the demand for virtual appointments, but have continued to provide the same level of exceptional health and cosmetic expertise. Dr. James is hands down the warmest practitioner I have come across in this industry. I truly felt she was as excited about my results as I was. When it comes to dental and orthodontic work, you want to be in trusted hands. 20/10 recommend this practice.

Even though I really hate having braces as an adult, I genuinely enjoy the experiences I have in the Art of Smile office! I needed to have jaw surgery and get braces before and after surgery to correct my bite. My pre and post surgery orthodontic experience with Dr Shah and her team (Lynn and Scottie in particular) has been unexpectedly lovely. I did anticipate enjoying my interactions with my orthodontist's office. Dr Shah is encouraging, kind, gentle, and has a great sense of humor. It feels like she’s genuinely invested in my journey. Lynn, who often manages my adjustments, is spectacular. She regales me with stories and makes me laugh, even when she's twisting wires tightly around my brackets. Post surgery, I was fragile and scared to allow anyone to touch my mouth, but Lynn and Dr Shah kept me optimistic about my orthodontic-driven recovery and excited about my increasing ability to chew under their immediate post-surgical orthodontic care. After several months and getting to a better place with my bite, I find myself looking forward to my visits and seeing both of them. Scottie at the front desk is always a friendly face (or phone call) to navigate scheduling, wire trims, and broken brackets! He makes things work so I don’t have to wait to long if a wire is poking me or something similar. Finally, the office is clean, bright, and comfortable. Even the music is good! I’m grateful I chose Art of Smile to manage my orthodontic experience, and I would recommend this team! Ashley Oteri2024-11-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From start to finish everything was amazing! I couldn't be happier with the service provided. Super clean modern office, very little wait time. I loved that they had an espresso machine and water bottles for the patients- it's the little things! The front desk Scottie was super friendly, as was Jess who helped me figure out what financial arrangements could be made for his braces (interest free financing with NO CREDIT CHECK - unheard of nowadays!) Dr. Shah is the fantastic orthodontist in the office made my son feel warm and welcome into her office. My 13 year old son absolutely loved his assistant Lin who placed the brackets and did an amazing job keeping him calm and explaining each step before she did it. Thank you Lin! I look forward to seeing everyone again at his 6 week check up! If you are on the fence about trying to find an orthodontist office try this one- they even offer a free consult! You won't be disappointed! Caralynn Arena2024-10-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience for my consultation!

They take great care of you here! Duongchanthra Bopa2024-08-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The office has a great vibe to it, one that you wouldn’t necessarily expect from a dental setting. From the music to the ambiance, the great art pieces, the joyful staff, there was a very welcoming and calm nature to the office that quickly made me feel at ease. I will admit that I had some lingering anxiety from friends and family that had previously had orthodontic treatment but that all faded as I entered Dr. Shah’s office. Today marks the beginning of my 18 month journey and there’s no office out there that I would rather have be in charge of my care than right here with Dr. Shah and the amazing staff that she surrounds herself with.Load more
