FAQs
Where is SmileWorks located?
The practice is at 1771 Capital Cir NE, Tallahassee, FL 32308. A second office is under construction at 2001 Crawfordville Highway in Crawfordville and is scheduled to open in Spring 2027.
At what age should my child first see a dentist?
SmileWorks follows the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommendation of a first visit by age 1, or within six months of the first tooth appearing. Early visits let the team catch issues before they become problems and help a child get comfortable at the dentist.
Do you offer both pediatric dentistry and orthodontics?
Yes. SmileWorks is a dual-specialty practice where orthodontic specialists and board-certified pediatric dentists work under one roof, so a child can get cleanings, checkups, braces, and Invisalign at the same office without outside referrals.
What dental insurance do you accept?
The practice works with most major dental insurance plans and verifies benefits before the first visit. Call (850) 765-3748 with your plan details and the team will confirm coverage.
What if we do not have dental insurance?
SmileWorks offers in-house membership plans. The Child Complete Plan is $324 per year and the Teen Complete Plan is $396 per year, each covering 2 cleanings, 2 exams, 2 fluoride treatments, 1 routine X-ray, and 1 emergency exam, plus 20% savings on additional procedures.
How much does orthodontic treatment cost?
The practice states that braces and Invisalign typically range from about $3,000 to $7,000 depending on complexity. Consultations are free and include exact pricing along with interest-free monthly payment options.
Do you treat adults?
Orthodontic services, meaning braces and Invisalign, are offered for all ages, and the practice says adult patients are a growing part of it. Pediatric dental services are for infants through teens.
What happens at a first visit?
Plan for about 45 to 60 minutes. The team greets your child, counts teeth, checks gums and bite, takes X-rays only when genuinely needed, provides a cleaning suited to your child's age, and then the doctor reviews the findings with you. Parents are welcome chairside.
