My name is Dr. Vallerie Kee and I have been a dentist in Frederick, Maryland for over 25 years. In fact, I am the first African-American female dentist to practice in Frederick, Maryland. Here at Smile N Style Dental, we are committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse environment that is dental home to patients of all races, colors, religions, genders/gender identities, sexual orientation, ages, and abilities.
In order to meet our own high expectations for your care, we work diligently to prepare for your visit. This includes making sure we have all the information we need to better assist you. At the time of scheduling we ask that you have your insurance information ready. This enables us to obtain a complete benefit breakdown and better explain any insurance questions you may have.
Routine dental visits are essential for your overall health. Regular oral exams allow us to check the teeth to monitor the progress of previous conditions and diagnose new conditions. In addition, exams are a cost-effective way to prevent the necessity of more invasive treatment in the future. Preventive care is imperative in order to maintain any dental work you may have including (but not limited to): fillings, crowns, and implants.
Gum disease affects nearly half of all adults in the United States. Early stages of gum disease are presented as gingivitis, which is essentially inflammation and/or bleeding of the gums. Inflammation can be alleviated through regular dental visits and good home care. However, if gingivitis is left untreated, it will eventually advance to a more serious condition, called periodontitis, for which there is no cure.
It is important to brush your child's teeth with water in the morning and especially at night. Additionally, children should not be put to bed with bottles because this habit will cause tooth decay. Children should come in at least every six months for dental check-ups and cleanings. It is important to brush twice a day (morning and night).

I had a great visit here. The staff was very personable. They took time and the entire staff was super knowledgeable and helpful. This was undeniably the best cleaning I have ever had at the dentist. Most dentists rush you through. After this one cleaning, I could tell my teeth were smoother and whiter (*yay!).
A BIG plus for me was how serious they are about prioritizing patient health. They book extra time into their schedule so that patients do not run into each other in the waiting room. I was seen on time and was impressed by the level of cleanliness. Also, the modern tech is so so amazing

Lovely staff. I felt like I mattered for the first time in a long time. Our conversation went beyond dentistry and I truly appreciate it. I have suffered from extreme anxiety for so long and the friendliness helps with that. I haven’t taken the best care of my teeth over the years but she helped me not be so ashamed and gave me actual solutions.

This is my 4th or 5th visit to this dental office and I realized I have never written a review. Don’t let the humbleness fool you, they know what they are doing here! I think Dr. Kee deserves the utmost of accolades. She has always demonstrated that she cares and has even provided me with free services for things that I have broken (my own fault, biting on crabs). I am pleased to be a patient here and recommend her to all my coworkers

I had a great first experience here today. The office seems to run on time because I was taken back at my exact appointment time. Dr. Kee spent what must have been at least 30 minutes on my exam and discussing my treatment plan. My cleaning was very thorough and detailed. It felt like years were lifted off of my teeth. Overall, I am a very anxious person and tend to be very nervous when it comes to dental appointments but I was as comfortable as I could be in a dental chair LOL.

I'm leaving my second visit with Dr. Kee. She is exceptional! My first was for a routine cleaning and today, I received a fill-in. She did all she could to make me comfortable due to seasonal congestion. Dr. Kee is a personable physician that gets to know you as she cares for your oral care. Personally, I prefer a physician who builds trust, relationship and provides honest input medical care plan. There's no long wait, and they respond timely to calls. I hope to be a patient for a long time!

I am fairly new to Frederick, MD originating from sunny Florida. I have been here for almost 2 years and Dr. Kee is AWESOME. My time is valuable and appreciated and Dr. Kee works fast and efficiently I am able to have my Dental work in a timely matter. The office staff is always nice and professional. I am always reminded about my appointments timely. I can't say enough about Dr. Kee....when she starts work on my mouth she is considerate to my pain level and the technique she uses to numb my mouth. She is fast with working on my mouth and not only fast but quality is the best. I am super happy

I have been in Frederick for a few years and One of the best decisions I ever made was choosing her or we choosing each other. She talks and explains everything she is doing. She does stay on you. No matter how good your teeth look you can do better, lol. She cares about her patients. She makes you feel like your family and friends. It's a family affair her family works there with her and they are very warm and inviting. I would lose my mind if I ever lost my DR.KEE LOL. You can't go wrong She is the best dentist I have ever had and I'm 50 so I have had a few. Keeping doing what you do DR. cause

I have been a patient of Dr. Kee for a few years now and have finally taken the long overdue time to share my experience. In my experiences she has always been very fair and reasonable. Also, my teeth have never looked better. I have grown to really trust her and have never felt pressured into any decision. A BIG bonus is her staff is really really nice and patient with me. I can be a pain, but they have really made me feel comfortable and have alleviated a lot of my anxiety.
