So I made myself an appointment, I told myself I would start taking better care of myself now that my children have reached adult ages. I honestly didn’t think there was any chance for me to have a smile that I didn’t hide, I didn’t think I could afford it most of all and thought what’s the point since I have so much to fix I mine as well get dentures. Well let me tell you about my life changing experience yesterday. So not only did I leave with beautiful smile I didn’t think was possible it’s actually affordable (trust me I’ve been to 4 diff consultations spent over $600) just to

Went to get my wife's blood pressure taken today so she could get a tooth pulled Thursday. my wife was gonna get her blood pressure meds filled later today. she did not take any blood pressure medicine today. it was only 146(which is not high at all) they told her she has to get a Drs not about her supposedly high blood pressure. she can't see the Dr till the end of the month. so she is forced by these idiot's to be in pain. instead of just letting her come in tomorrow to do it again they made this a hassle. definitely would not recommend this place. they are savage's.

It is a beautiful office with lots of art &plants. Dr Highsmith is very accessible and knowledgeable. That’s why I went to see him & he didn’t seem to be in a big hurry to get to the next person.

Doctor Highsmith and his staff are all excellent. He placed a crown for me over an implant that looks just like my old tooth and fits perfectly. He is also gentle and easy with fillings making the appointments as painless as possible and takes the time to develope a treatment plan that works with your budget. He may cost a little more than some dentists, but his skill, expertise, and experience are more than worth it.

Great experience. Since I have loose and very sensitive teeth, Laura who cleaned my teeth took several added steps to provide care for both issues. She was beyond caring. So good. Made the experience not bad at all. I would recommend this practice not with just a 5 stars but 10. Everyone here is so thoughtful and caring. Thanks

Dr Highsmith does excellent work. I have been going to him since he began practicing in Haywood county, 30-35+ years ago. He prides himself in his work. His staff is great. I highly recommend him.

I am a perfectionist and thankfully, so is Dr. Highsmith! He enjoys an impressive level of accreditation confirming his superlative cosmetic dentistry skills. Further, his artistry and partnership with a top notch lab resulted in my incredible smile makeover! I am thrilled with my results and the level of attention and concern shown to me during my experience. The staff is lovely as well! Cannot stop smiling to have found this new home for all of my dental needs.
