I had an outstanding experience at Smile Dental in Shelton, CT. From the moment I walked in, the entire team made me feel comfortable and welcomed. Dr. Bruce Hoffman DDS is an absolute professional and really takes the time to explain everything in detail and discuss options. His expertise and kind approach made my visit, stress free, and I can tell he genuinely cares about his patients.
Also wanted to give a huge thanks to the entire Smile Dental team for their exceptional service. Everyone I encountered, … More from the front desk to the hygienists were kind and friendly. It’s rare to find a great combination of professionalism and personal care.
If you’re looking for a top-notch dental practice Smile Dental is the place to go. 🦷

I switched to Smile Dental center late last year. The practice I was going to was going corporate and there seemed to be a lot of the long-term people leaving and I didn’t feel comfortable having somebody different all every time when I went there for my visits. My sister has been going to Smile Dental Center forever and highly recommended this practice. I’m glad I made the switch. Today I went in for a cleaning and Dental Hygienist Mary Martins took care of me. She made me feel very comfortable … More and you could tell that she really cared about what she was doing. She gave me the best cleaning that I ever had. She also recommended a different way to brush my teeth from now on. I highly recommend this practice if you are thinking about switching from your current practice.
