What Our Clients Say About Us

  • "Not much to say except that Dr. Pete and his staff are the very best in the business. I've been a patient for nearly 30 years and would not ever consider another dentist. I don't have a fear of dentists, but my mother-in-law did and had not seen a dentist in many, many years. When she moved back to NY from FL, she needed a lot of work. Dr. Pete and his staff took wonderful care of her and she no longer has any trepidation when she needs to go."
    Stephen Kuzma
  • "Dr. Smit is a wonderful dentist. I have been going to her since 2012. She is a very kind, caring, patient dentist. She really does an excellent job of fixing my teeth. Fillings, crowns, cosmetic bonding etc. I highly recommend Dr Smit. Her whole staff is amazing as well."

    Every tooth has two sections: a crown, the visible part of the tooth above the gum line, and one or more roots, which anchor the teeth within the jaw. Each tooth has three basic layers: an outer layer of hard enamel (which protects the crown) or cementum (which covers the root), a middle layer of softer ...

    The bacteria in plaque produce acids that erode tooth enamel, eventually creating a hole, or cavity, in the tooth surface. Left untreated, this decay can spread to the interior of the tooth, and might lead to the need for a crown, a root canal, or even extraction. When caught early, your dentist can ...
