“Amazing!”
Love them! Dr. Smith and his staff are very caring and understanding of what your issues are. They take the time to help you and will recommend other doctors if they cannot help help you. I would recommend Dr. Smith to anyone with TMJ or Sleep issues.

“Overall satisfaction with this office”
Easily able to obtain an appt. I am now a follow up only patient but even in the active stages of treatment, I never had a wait of more than 15 minutes. The staff is always friendly. I would recommend this office to anyone who needs their services. Dr. Smith is soft spoken, always seems happy to see you and spends the time you need to get all your questions answered.

“A boutique feel”
Savannah Dental Specialties is a wonderful business. They were very helpful and succinct with his diagnosis. The atmosphere right off the bat was inviting and warm. Unlike most doctors' offices I felt like I was at a boutique rather than an office building. I arrived early and was in a chair with Dr. Smith before my appointment time. I can't wait until my next appointment when I finally get my OSA appliance.
