Cosmetic dentistry turns an average smile into a noticed smile. With the advent of new materials and techniques, everybody can have the natural beautiful smiles of there dreams. To accomplish this, we analyze several aspects of a smile and correct the problems. For decades, dentists have had to use unsightly-even potentially hazardous materials, like mercury-to fill decaying teeth.
Invisalign is America's new favorite teeth straightening solution, with over 3 million people smiling wider, and straighter because of it.

Invisalign is a popular method among adults and teens in particular because of the cosmetic benefits.

No CONCERN for helping others. It feels all about the "HARD SELL!"
Before going in for the intial testing, I notified them that I'm a U.S. Army Veteran and I have limited insurance.
After I spent over $900. for testing, to find out I need help with my TMJ. I received a dental plan from an office admin for over $30,000. I asked for help for different ideas on how to approach my concerns. The ONLY ideas I received were from the office admin to open credit cards in my wife and/or sons name.
I NEVER received anything from the dentist himself! No call! No email! Nothing!
Very dissatisfied that I

I was referred to Dr. Smith by my prior dentist in California, and could not be happier with the results. Dr. Smith is very capable, focused, conscientious and a perfectionist. He is obviously incredibly passionate about what he does, not to mention being equipped with the latest technology. I had signifiant work done on my teeth, and although I was apprehensive before having the work done from a financial and pain perspective, I am now so glad I did, and so grateful to Dr. Smith. In addition, I had my teeth cleaned by Jennifer - she was fantastic - the best cleaning I have ever had.

Dr. Smith and Nan, and the entire team at Biting Edge Family Dentistry are wonderful. I have been a patient for two years. We created a thorough dental plan with all costs being shown upfront. The office staff and dental team are professional, caring, and concerned about the patient's well being. I have been to many dentists in different cities (and countries) and found Dr. Smith to be one of the best. Would definitely recommend Biting Edge.

Been going to the Biting Edge for about 17yrs. The staff is all very personable. Nan is legit when it comes to cleaning your teeth. Dr. Smith is an excellent dentist. He’s a perfectionist and it shows through his work. He’s literally painless and makes sure you’re comfortable. I absolutely love this dental office and highly recommend it to anyone.

Dr. Mike and his entire staff are the epitome of professionalism and excellence. I had oral surgery/implant yesterday and have no pain at all this morning. My temporary bridge looks better than any bridge I have had in the past. I'm on my way to a perfect smile in the coming months.
I used to be nervous at the dentist but Dr. Mike puts me at complete ease with his attention to detail and perfection.

After years of going to various TMJ “specialists”, Dr. Mike Smith at The Biting Edge was the only doctor who helped me find relief!
Before being treated at The Biting Edge, my jaw would lock daily causing me to be in tears. It’s been about four years since my last appointment – and four years since I’ve experienced lock jaw! I can now yawn, laugh, and eat without having to worry about my jaw sticking.
I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Smith to anyone who experiences pain in the jaw (locking, clicking, etc.).

Thanks to Dr. Smith I can no longer have headaches, muscle spasms, and can not lead a better quality of life. Dr. Smith is very caring, listens to concerns, and addresses all questions. Thank you Dr. Smith!
