I was referred to this office because my previous dentist doesn't perform root canals, and I honestly couldn't be more grateful that I ended up here. From the moment I walked in, everyone was warm, welcoming, and professional. I was extremely nervous going into my appointment after a difficult experience elsewhere, but the entire team immediately put me at ease. The doctor was incredibly attentive, compassionate, and considerate throughout the entire procedure. He took the time to explain everything, made sure I was comfortable before starting, and checked on me throughout the root canal to make sure I wasn't in any pain. I never felt rushed, and I truly felt like my comfort was a priority. I never thought I'd say this, but my root canal was actually a great experience. It was painless, smooth, and far less intimidating than I expected. The level of care and empathy I received made such a difference. I came here expecting it to be a one-time visit, but after the experience I had, I've decided to transfer all of my general dental care to this office. That's how impressed I was. If you're looking for a dental office that genuinely cares about its patients and goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable, I can't recommend this team enough. read more

I had a great experience with Smile Builder Dental and Dr. Myung Kee Park. After having braces with a different orthodontist just prior to my experience with Smile Builder, my teeth shifted again within a matter of weeks despite faithfully wearing my retainer. I wanted to correct the movement with clear aligners rather than going through braces again. After about a year of treatment, I couldn't be happier with the results. Looking back after experiencing both traditional braces and Invisalign, I believe Invisalign was the better choice for me. I also wish I had gone directly to Smile Builder Dental from the beginning. In hindsight, I feel it may have saved me time, discomfort, and expense. Most importantly, my experience here gave me confidence that I was receiving thoughtful, patient-centered care every step of the way. From my very first visit, everyone at Smile Builder Dental was welcoming, friendly, and professional. The entire team made every appointment a pleasant experience, and I always felt that they genuinely cared about achieving the best possible outcome. I documented my progress with weekly photos throughout treatment, and near the end I had questions about the position of one lower incisor. Dr. Park took the time to carefully review my concerns, explain why the final trays intentionally overcorrect rotation before the teeth naturally settle, and answer every question without ever making me feel rushed. I truly appreciated his patience, honesty, and conservative approach. It was clear that he was focused on achieving the best long-term result rather than simply finishing treatment as quickly as possible. The digital scanning process for my retainers was fast, comfortable, and seamless, and I left feeling confident that my smile was in great hands. I am truly grateful to Dr. Park and the entire Smile Builder Dental team for their exceptional care, professionalism, and attention to detail. Whether you're considering orthodontic treatment for the first time or need to correct teeth that have shifted after previous orthodontic treatment, I highly recommend Smile Builder Dental. Thank you, Dr. Park and the wonderful staff, for giving me a smile that I'm proud to keep for years to come. read more

I usually hate going to the dentist and this was my first time getting a cavity filling, but Dr. Park was great me and my mom were really happy! read more

At the arrival we had indicated that we were set up for a cleaning at the same time. I verified multiple occasions and a multiple occasions they verified by that they did have indeed time. However, then they told me after the fact when I had no ride that they were not going to be able to finish. We scheduled the appointment on Wednesday because the office closed late on that day. If we would have known from the beginning we would have decided to cancel or take our business elsewhere. Now I have to go through the hassle of by contacting my insurance company. read more

See all

Awesome Dentist and staff, Doctor Howard really cares about his patients and his staff makes sure everything goes well with your treatment.

Great experience, staff is super nice. They did a great cleaning and I felt like I was in great hands.

DO NOT GO TO THIS DENTIST! I was sent here as a referral to have a root canal, since my dentist does not perform that service. This dentist at Smile Builder didn't bother to do an X-ray on my tooth before working on it, which should've been done because maybe you would've discovered my tooth was cracked! So I was charged $497.50 for an incomplete job since you waited too long to get an image of my tooth. After 45 minutes of drilling the dentist said he couldn't do a root canal on it because it was cracked. I PAID $497 FOR THEM TO TELL ME THEY COULDN'T DO A ROOT CANAL! 2 weeks later I went to Grandview Endodontics and they charged $60 for an X-Ray BEFORE working on my tooth. Why couldn't you guys do that??? Now my insurance is maxed out because of this "incomplete job." Terrible business. Don't go here. Go to Grandview instead. read more

Caution: Photo may be disturbing. Discretion advised. This was the result of probable unskilled handling during an oral surgery to excavate a (single) broken molar. The procedure lasted over an hour with the dentist taking breaks in between while local anesthesia was administered continually. The impact from repeated slipping of instrument jabbing and stabbing the area around my broken tooth was never met with any sensitivity or empathy. There was zero acknowledgment let alone apologies. As a helpless patient I was fully trusting and completely in surrender to the dentist. Realizing my injuries were unusual, my remarks to the dentist were simply ignored. The recovery was lengthy and experience was traumatic. read more

It's been over a year since I got my bottom wisdom teeth out at this dentist! Posting this because I know a year ago I was panicking about Dr. Park and if I would lose nerve feeling in my jaw after this procedure! Never fear you are in good hands at this dentist for wisdom teeth removal! They keep you awake which can be scary, but you'll be fine! I have been wanting to take my teeth out and see them just because I'm fascinated by teeth, but I was always really scared of the cutting open of my gums and such. Dr. Park also draws blood to heal your gums (? Don't quote me on that LOL). Don't worry though! I also only give 4 stars because I remember that the assistant dropped about 2-3 things which is kinda gross, but I survived it! Lol read more

I had the greatest experience. I love staff here. Been coming here for years and will keep coming back!

Every time I visit, everything is explained in detail, all the staff and dentists are friendly, and I am very satisfied with my treatment.

I had to have some major dental work done. Smile Builders has been amazing throughout the process. Dr. Rivero is super understanding, gentle, and knowledgeable. Made sure I got the care I needed. Dr. Park, while I've only seen once so far, was kind, helpful, and also knew exactly how to help. The front desk staff is friendly, helpful, and knows your name when you walk in the door. They do a great job handily the insurance side of things and are very nice. The dental hygienist is super nice as well, the dentist office is no one's favorite place to be, but they make it a pleasant experience. read more

In addition to the convenience of close proximity I quickly realized that professional dental care for the full scope of my dental needs would be addressed and provided.
