Have you noticed your bottom front teeth crowding? Do you have crooked teeth or spacing between your teeth? These are common types of malocclusion. Malocclusion means "bad bite". Side effects of malocclusion are more serious than simply having a less than ideal smile. Crooked and crowded teeth complicate routine brushing and flossing, hastening tooth decay, gum disease and even tooth losss.
A bright, white smile is tricky to maintain when many of life's pleasures (coffee, tea, wine, chocolate) are known to stain our teeth. Even some of the healthiest foods we can eat, like dark leafy greens or richly pigmented vegetables can result in staining! To help restore your smile's natural shine, we offer several teeth whitening options.
Every member of your family is going to need to visit the dentist for some reason or other. Why not have your entire family's dental needs taken care of under one roof? As family dentists, we've been trained to provide comprehensive dental care for your entire family from your youngest toddler to your greatest grandparent.
We understand that true dental emergencies often occur at night or on weekends, when most businesses are closed. That's why we offer 24/7 emergency care, because your well-being is important to us, even when we're away from the office. Intraoral and/or extraoral swelling. Should swelling affect swallowing, breathing or opening of the eyes, the individual should seek emergency room treatment immediately.

Twice the dentist claimed that I had cavities after the assistant told me all of my enamel was healthy. I have never had a cavity in my life, I went and got a second opinion and there’s not even a START of a cavity, you can also hear him in the hallway filling in the assistant on what to say when he comes back into the room. This has also happened to several other people going to the office, avoid this place unless you like having your insurance assaulted, they dig into your teeth unnecessarily for a dollar. HORRIBLE.

I’ve had the pleasure of coming here several times now and seeing Dr. DeVries and his staff. Each time is consistently as pleasant as the previous. Prior to dealing with them, I avoided the dentist at all costs, but here you don’t think about it twice you know you’re in great hands. You are informed and consulted the entire time no matter what you’re getting done; and when I say you don’t feel his needle I mean you don’t feel his needle. As caring as they are professional!

Dr. Gregory and his whole staff are so wonderful and accommodating. I had an emergency tooth extraction because I was in so much pain and they were able to see me right away. They took very good care of me and made sure everything was okay. I also appreciate that they communicate with me so I'm aware and they always try to fit me in despite both our busy schedules.
Definitely deserve the 5 stars and more. Thank you!

I have been going to Dr. Gregory DEVRIES since July and I have nothing but positive things to say. I have gone to several dentists before to fix my teeth and he is the first dentist that has done an amazing job! He takes his time and explains everything and I left there with a new smile and a huge boost of confidence! THANK YOU SO MUCH. Also a big thank you to Sharon for always working around my busy work schedule. I definitely recommend him and his team!

After having a horrible experience with another dentist it was so refreshing to have a wonder experience with Dr. Chan. They were professional, kind, and were able to refer me to a oral surgeon who was absolutely amazing. Would recommend Life smile to everyone especially someone who had a bad experience because they will.make you feel at ease. Super clean and modern space as well!!
