Maximizing Your Dental Benefits: What New Patients Should Know in Independence

At The Smile Spot, we know it can be hard to find affordable care that doesn’t cut corners. That’s why we’re proud to offer our new patient special at our Independence location: a full dental exam, cleaning, and a set of X-rays for just $55.

It’s our way of welcoming families to our practice while giving every child a healthy start. Whether you’re new to the area, looking for a kid-friendly dentist, or catching up on care, we’re here to help you feel at home.

Why Now is the Perfect Time to Schedule a Visit

During the winter holidays, cavities are a common issue for kids of all ages. Sweet treats and beverages can take their toll on their oral health. By getting the care your child needs now, you can keep an eye out for oral health issues and make sure that they start the New Year out with a healthy smile!

  • We offer a $55 new patient special for kids of all ages
  • This includes a dental exam, cleaning, and set of X-rays
  • All new patients qualify, but this offer can’t be used with insurance 

After you take advantage of our New Patient Special, uninsured patients can also take advantage of our Smile4Less plan. This includes preventive care, special discounts, and other perks starting at just $24/month.

Our team is patient, reassuring, and trained to support children who are nervous, have had past dental trauma, or have special healthcare needs.

  • Calming, judgment-free environment
