ABOUT US
Here at Smith Family Dentistry, the office of J Christopher Smith D.D.S. and Richard D. Smith D.D.S., creating beautiful and healthy smiles is our top priority. Our office is conveniently located in Charleston, West Virginia. Drs. J. Christopher and Richard Smith are a father and son team working together to provide you and your family with the personalized, gentle care that you deserve. Whether you need a cleaning, a filling, whitening or even full restorative care with implants, Smith Family Dentistry is committed to your smile and your overall well being.
We offer comprehensive dentistry for the entire family, including routine silver and composite fillings, extractions, pediatric dental care, endodontics and treatment for gum disease. Whether you have chipped, discolored or missing teeth, we offer the most current cosmetic dental procedures to dramatically enhance your smile, such as dental implants, teeth whitening, bonding and porcelain veneers.
We take great pride in providing high-quality dental care by using the most advanced technology. We utilize digital X-rays to gather invaluable information about your dental and oral health. Digital X-rays reduce radiation exposure by 90 percent. Using an intra-oral camera, our experienced dentists can detect problems that cannot be identified through a general exam. We believe our precise combination of knowledge, skill and technology enables us to deliver optimum results for each of our patients.
Part of our commitment to serving our patients includes providing information that helps them make an informed decision about their oral health needs and treatment in a friendly environment. We encourage you to continue exploring our website to see why so many others have made Smith Family Dentistry their family's destination for high quality general and cosmetic dental care. Contact your local Charleston dentists if you would like to schedule a consultation or fill out an appointment request form online. We look forward to giving you something to smile about!
