From the very first visit, Dr. Akinwande and her team—especially Shelly at the front desk—have been incredibly kind, patient, and compassionate with my mother, who has severe dental anxiety. Finding a provider with experience in treating seniors and trauma-affected patients was a top priority for me, and I am so grateful to have found this office. Dr. Akinwande is not only highly skilled but also incredibly kind, caring, and attentive. She takes the time to explain everything in a way that puts my mother at ease and ensures she feels comfortable during each visit. The level of care doesn’t stop when we leave the office—the doctor and staff have even called to follow up after appointments to check on my mother’s gums and teeth, how she’s adjusting to her new dentures, and to make sure she’s doing well overall. While it is a bit of a drive for us, the quality of care and the staff’s attention to detail make it more than worth it. Shelly, in particular, has gone above and beyond to ensure my mother feels supported throughout her visits. Thanks to their commitment to getting her the care she needed—and our persistence in following through—my mother’s dental health has drastically improved. I truly appreciate this office’s dedication and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a provider who genuinely cares about patients.

Go to this dental office if you want to be misled and scammed. I was a carryover patient from Dr. Browne (who was a wonderful dentist). I went in for a dental examination for a possible filling that fell out. I called to make the appointment and was told they took my new dental insurance. I came in as usual, filled out paperwork, and got x-ray scans done. The minute the dentist came, she gave me the most extreme option of what was another tooth problem and not the filling. She also started pushing me to get multiple procedures done, barely examining original problems or giving me other options. She completely overwhelmed me and sent me off to the front desk. Where again, I was pushed to get these procedures done and pushed to be put on a massive payment plan, which was completely odd because they had told me they took my insurance, I couldn't make the down payment (thank god), and deferred to doing it another day. Before leaving, the front desk worker had me scan a QR code for a Google review and reached over and pressed five stars on my phone herself. COMPLETELY UNPROFESSIONAL. I quickly changed the star rating and left. I had to sit in the parking lot for 15 minutes to decompress. On my way home, I got a call from the front office asking if my reducing the star rating was a mistake and to change it to five stars!!!! The next day, I checked my insurance claims and came to find out the dental office was OUT OF NETWORK. They had completely lied to me and tried to take my money. Not once stating that they were out of network. This is troubling, to say the least, I've never been treated like a cash cow by a doctor of any kind. This doctor and her front desk staff should be ashamed of themselves. They try to get you with their welcoming music and smiles, but it's all a front.

Let me tell you this was the best consultation I have ever had from a dentist. Shelly got me in for an emergency appointment and listened to all of my concerns and help me calm down and u sweat and the process. I can say I wouldn’t have done this without her. The dentist helped me get out of the severe pain I was in. They offered a plan to make it so that I could afford the treatment without breaking the bank. I can say I haven’t gone to the dentist in years and because of Shelly I am back to fixing my smile. Thank you Open Smiles Dental! 5 stars! Highly recommend!

The best customer service from the time I opened the door. Dr. Akinwande is super knowledgeable, attentive, and she educated me about what she was doing before , during and after my services. I left feeling like I finally found a family dentist after years of establishments up charging me and really all about what they could upsell and charge me for. My family and I had the most welcoming experience and personable interactions. Highly recommend!
