Smile Stars Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics

"The entire process for our family was amazing. I understand the concerns with the playing in the treatment area, and I also understand the fear of leaving a young child/toddler for a major procedure without a parent. This was our first time with our 3 year old having anything other than urgent care visits and we were stressed to the max. I regret that we looked up their reviews and read some of the negative ones, and feel that was the only major stressor of the entire treatment. Our daughter needed significant dental work and we opted to have her totally asleep for it. We arrived early. The staff was amazing. Our daughter immediately bonded with the nurse that took her back and everything was done before we knew it. The teams at both the Baton Rouge and Prairieville location were outstanding!!"

"Welcoming vibes from the time you sign in until the time you check out. In the back there are digital pads on the walls, dry erase boards, basketball goal etc. for the kids to play with while waiting even though wait time is short . The Dr. even grab a ball and play with the kids. I recommend"

"I went here since i could remember. one vivid time i could remember was when i was getting teeth pulled while having braces. i was sitting in the chair minding my own business when all of a sudden the dental hygienist sneak attacks me with the numbing stuff. this lady seriously told me “you need to calm down before you scare the kids” me? scare the kids? not you. like excuse me. the tears were strolling down. she stuck me like 8 times. Dr. Ripple comes in to pull my two teeth and i then realize the numbing hasn’t worked yet and i grabbed his wrist. he told me not to grab him, which i understand, but dude is literally pulling my teeth out without numbing at this point. traumatizing. this place is so messed up and i couldn’t have anyone back there with me, which was already scary. i will always remember this. 0/10 would not recommend this to anyone who likes their kids."

"I am so disappointed in this place. My child sustained an injury over the weekend and I was so frantic after calling smile stars this weekend and didn’t realize that they had an emergency number at the end. Dr. Wade in Baton Rouge saw my child and did an an amazing job even though he is not a pediatric dentist. Dr. Wade advises us to follow up with our dentist and we called smile stars who refused to see her again and said to continue to follow up with Dr. Wade who is not a pediatric dentist. I am so disappointed and will never go back. They don’t care about their patients and please stay away."

"They are absolutely the best dentist office around. Oh my god I never had this experience or known of an experience as of this one. First of all they called my kids back at they appointment time. Then you get to go to the back with the kids. Upon arrival to the back it’s this arcade for the kids while they wait. Just a bunch of great vibes.. dentist assistant, dentist , receptionist are all happy to be at work making the experience even better. Don’t walk run to change your kids dentist office. they even have a site seeing pond. Everyone is happy.. I’ve been to Taylor dental and I rate them 0 stars it’s like you literally just arrived in the slums . But this not about them. If you want a great experience with friendly people come here!"
