Patient Resources
What to Expect as Our Patient
At SMA Dental, we take the time to provide each of our patients with a thorough and comprehensive initial exam. This includes a review of medical and dental history, an oral exam, checking head and neck muscles as well as TMJ, and performing oral cancer and sleep apnea screenings.
We evaluate the bite, jaw movements and the health of teeth and gums, and take intraoral and extraoral photos so patients can see what we see. Collecting and sharing this knowledge with our patients is essential for two reasons: First and foremost, our approach centers around patient education. We understand how important it is for your comfort to know exactly how a procedure works and what to expect. That’s why we’re always here to explain and guide you through any treatment. Secondly, we believe in treating the patient, not just the tooth.

Reviews and Testimonials
“Been going to Dr. Schmotter for years now and even though I am not in the neighborhood I continue to drive to see him. What sets him apart is that he cares, he is amazing at what does, and he wants the best for his patience."

“In addition to the top notch dental skills, these people are seriously nice & have great customer service. I chipped a tooth just hours before a flight to NYC for work. I "walked in" and not only did they help me, but they were so kind about it.”
