Kool Smiles offices are built specifically for kids and their parents. Every step of the Kool Smiles experience has been designed to deliver fun, caring dental service to our patients while at the same time providing convenience, comfort and peace of mind for parents. Our team takes pride in caring for our community by providing quality, accessible, and compassionate dental healthcare.
Our friendly and professional staff takes pleasure in welcoming children as well a adults to our Office. A visit to a Kool Smiles Office begins in our brightly colored, oversized waiting areas. Included in the waiting room is a children's play area with a colorful activity center where younger children can climb, slide, and explore. We also have additional seating, reading materials, and access to local phone service.
Families can entrust their child's dental care to our team of dedicated and professional dental care providers. Located just off the waiting room are the Hygiene Viewing and Consult areas. Parents may observe where children have x-rays, dental cleanings, and preventative dentistry performed, if they choose not to accompany their child to the back. After completion of the hygiene exam, a Kool Smiles doctor meets to discuss the status of the patient's health and options for any advanced or "operative" work that may be required. We know that time is precious and in many cases, if it is agreeable, our doctors will offer to complete the additional services the same day.
Our doctors make patients feel comfortable and relaxed during dental operative treatment. Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) can be given during dental treatment to relieve anxiety, if needed. Our doctors also use basic behavioral management techniques such as "tell, show, do" to make dental treatment a pleasant experience for both child and parent. Before any procedure is performed, our doctors explain and show the patient exactly what will occur. Local anesthesia is also used to numb the teeth and gums to prevent pain during treatment.
At the completion of the visit, a Kool Smiles dental professional again consults with the patient to give a detailed description of the work completed, provide after care instructions, issue prescriptions if needed, and answer any questions that the family may have.
All Kool Smiles offices are staffed with multi-lingual speaking Patient Service Representatives and dental professionals. Kool Smiles also offers free translation services for additional languages our patients may speak.
Our general dentists are fully trained in providing quality dental care to patients of all ages. The same great dental care and service we provide to children is now available in most Kool Smiles offices for adults. Call your nearest Kool Smiles office to find out if they are now seeing adults in your area.
