I had an outstanding experience with Stephanie during my cleaning. She is incredibly professional and caring, making every visit comfortable and stress-free. Her attention to detail during cleanings is remarkable, and she takes the time to explain everything clearly, ensuring I feel informed and at ease. Stephanie's warm personality and genuine care for her patients truly set her apart. I highly recommend her and the office to anyone!

I didn’t see a dentist for a quite some time and was afraid of not finding a good one. Thankfully my husband recommended them. I loved how Dr. Ruiz treated me. She did not rush at all and took some extra time that would have required another appointment to fix the problem I had. Thank you, you are amazing! I also want to say thank you Mary (the dental hygienist) she is wonderful, caring, listens to your concerns and does a great job. Overall everyone here is kind and respectful, a great service.

I had my cleaning with Sue this morning and wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for her exceptional care. Her knowledge, professionalism, and thoughtful guidance on maintaining healthy teeth and gums are always greatly valued. Sue consistently takes a genuine personal interest in her patients, which makes every visit feel individualized and welcoming.❤️
As a patient of Smile Dental for over 20 years, I can confidently say there is no better or more pleasant place for dental care. Thank you, Sue, for your continued dedication—I am already looking forward to my next visit in six months! 😊 Michelle Bauer -
After my first visit, I was very satisfied with the exceptional quality of this practice. What was most prominent during my visit was their attention to detail, not only with their work, but also with their demeanor. Katie especially was more than helpful with my experience and I would highly recommend her for anyone interested in this dentistry.

Sue was great. She not only did a thorough cleaning but also offered valuable advice for how I should care for my teeth as well as explained the current condition of my teeth and gum in a way that I can easily understand. I highly recommend Smile Dental Center to others. The entire staff is very friendly.

I have been her patient for many years and she is always punctual, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable. She consistently takes the time to thoroughly explain any concerns or questions I have, providing clear solutions and effectively easing any anxieties. Sarah's dedication to patient care truly stands out, making it so a visit to the dentist is something to look forward to.

Just left my cleaning with Sue. She is so thorough, kind and knowledgeable. A great experience in a beautiful office! I’ve been going to Smile Dental for at least 20 years and have always been happy with my care. Added bonus- they take care of crowns right in the office and in one visit!

I have been going to Smile Dental for well over 30 yrs. I have moved to Westbrook and Travel over a hr for my appointments and would NEVER dream of going anywhere else! When I first went to Smile Dental I had such a phobia of the Dentist! Dr Croccomo told me he was going to get me through this and he did! It wasn’t easy but he did it ! I then needed to get a partial and had the work done by Dr Soffermsn . He is such a WONDERFUL person! He changed my life ! He gave me a BEAUTIFUL smile! I smile with confidence ! I am a happy person and it was horrible for me not to want to smile! My hygienist Sue is AMAZING! When I first started with this practice I had to take Valium before I left home , laughing gas when I got there, then novicaine and they would peel me out of the chair! I now never miss a appointment ( I used to cancel all the time out of fear) ! The receptionist (Marie) would talk me into not cancellling by assuring me it would be ok! They were soooo patient with me ! I can’t say enough about Smile Dental ! The entire Staff there are wonderful! They have truly changed my life !😁😁😁😁

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, 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 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.

I cannot say enough about how great my experience has been at Smile Dental! I desperately needed some cosmetic work done and was nervous about going ahead with it. Dr. Ruiz and her amazing assistant, Iris, made me feel relaxed and confident about every step. Dr. Ruiz is caring and gentle but gets the hard work done! She seemed just as excited as I was with the outcome! Iris is very tuned in to what Dr. Ruiz needs and assists her with efficiency and skill. Iris is also very aware and sensitive to what the patient is experiencing and seemed to always know what I needed. I have already recommended Smile Dental to several friends and family. Everyone in the office is friendly and very easy to communicate with. They truly go out of their way to make every aspect of your visit pleasant. What a wonderful, positive place!!

A special shoutout to my hygienist, Sue, who always does an amazing job and provides invaluable tips to help prevent future dental issues.

I am been a patient of Smile Dental for almost one year, since my long time dentist retired. This office is state of the art and all the staff is very friendly and helpful. Dr Ruiz has been doing my dental work, four caps to date and she is wonderful, puts me at ease and she is an amazing dentist, quick, efficient while also being concerned for my comfort. And my caps feel great from the moment she puts them in. Highly recommend Dr Ruiz and Smile Dental.

Smile Center has no competition in CT. Whether you are looking for a routine cleaning or are in need of any extensive dental work: I would highly recommend a trip to smile center. Sarah and the entire rest of the staff are excellent and caring individuals who do their best in any way possible for their patients. My family and I have been happy with smile center for over 10 years!

I’ve been going to Smile for over 23 years.
They are the best. Mary is my favorite hygienist. She does such a great job and is very personable. The Dentists are great and their Shelton office is modern with all the latest equipment. If you need a crown you can get one the same day with their Cerac procedure. Plus who else would dress up as a Pilgrim outside before Thanksgiving to collect Turkey donations for those in need.
