Shari Peck 5/25/2011	My experience at Perfect Smiles... The gentlemen who assisted me yesterday was quite polite, but he should have put a bib on me as the impression material got all over my shirt as well as my face. Can't recall his name though. Otherwise, I have had nothing but pleasant experiences at your facility in Brentwood!

Marcia Braae 4/29/2011	My First Visit This was my first visit to Perfect Smiles and right from entering the office I had a good feeling. The office was clean..the staff at the desk was friendly. Then when I went in to the room again it was very clean. The hygienist was very nice and I did not feel uncomfortable at all. As you know "who loves going to the dentist". My cleaning didn't seem to take as long as my previous ones have. All in All, my first visit was impressionable. I would of given your office 5 stars had I come out of office being told I did not need any work done and that my teeth were "PERFECT". (JUST KIDDING)

Derek Tidmarsh 5/20/10	It was our first time coming into this office and my expectations were exceeded to say the least. The whole staff was amazing and friendly. I wasn't able to stay in the room while my 6 year old son got his cleaning because of my other children, the staff turned on my son's favorite cartoon and made him feel comfortable and at ease. After his cleaning the dentist came out and introduced himself then sat with me and talked about my son's visit. Incomparable to any other offices I have ever been to!
Anonymous 5/22/10	I've been more than a little afraid to visit a new dentist, since I learned that our old dentist was not very 'pro-active' - My dad is having A LOT of work done to make up for what our previous dentist overlooked/ignored. I had a wonderful, gentle cleaning... My teeth are gleaming! My family will certainly be regular patients!
Lucinda Justiniani 5/30/10	What a fun, yet still professional office. There was instant chemistry the moment I entered the office. Every staff member is competent but not "stuffy". I felt that my comfort in the chair was just as important to the Dr as the treatment plan. Finally, after living in Brentwood for 4 years I have found the greatest dental office for the whole family right in my own back yard. Thanks to all. Not to mention all the window dressings of home: Coffee, TV, computers, comfortable lounging and good, natural light flooding the reception area.
Laurie Chatham 5/31/10	I have been to many dentists and my experience at Perfect Smiles was great. The staff is always so friendly & courteous, and the office is very clean and comfortable.
