Smile Design Gainesville

Great staff. They are excellent at communicating and very professional. I needed some extensive work done that took several hours and the experience was much less miserable that I had expected. 🙂 Dr Sayman, TJ and all others working that day were very kind and accommodating. ❤️

This is the best Dental Practice I have stepped foot in Gainesville. Had an emergency - called - got an appointment immediately for the next morning (shout out Alex at the call center). Arrived a couple of mins prior and the amazing staff was suited up and ready - insurance checks approved. Anna at the front desk, and Dental Assistants are just the best (shoutout to @ TJ and the team) - broken crown to feeling good in no time!! And then scheduled two other regular care appointments while sitting in the chair - no waiting on the phone - that’s redefining great patient care! And of course the rockstar himself - Dr. Alexandre Sayman —— can’t say enough good things about him - you have to see him to really appreciate the first class treatment. Thank you to anyone I missed calling out by name - you guys rock!

I have been going to Smile Design for about 3 years, during which I have had crowns and regular checkups and cleanings. I have no complaints. I don’t have to wait for long periods of time in the waiting room, the staff is knowledgeable and polite. Thank you everyone, and especially my hygienist DeRhonda Hall!!

I’ve been going to Smile Design Dentistry for years and lately it’s improved a lot. The reception staff is much improved. I really look forward to getting my teeth cleaned now by dental hygienist Deronda, who is caring and sensitive. Deronda always does EXCEPTIONAL work.

The staff at Smile Design have given me the best dental service I’ve had in years. Each person (dental assistant, office manger, hygienist, etc.) were thoughtful about communicating with me through out the entire process for both of my visits. I was impressed by how patient they were when explaining what they were looking for in my x-rays, while still maintaining an uplifting energy. The hygienist who did my cleaning was very kind and kept good conversation during my time there. I would 100% recommend Smile Design to anyone who is looking for a great dentist in town.

Do not go here. During open enrollment I called and confirmed they took my insurance and booked a January 5 appointment. They sent multiple reminders and I confirmed online. When I arrived, they told me I was "not in the system." Only then did they admit they had dropped my insurance and someone in the office manually canceled my appointment without notifying me. No call. No email. Just wasted my time. The whole point of open enrollment is to plan ahead. Office staff is incompetent.

Last time I was there prior to this latest appointment, the cleaning and treatment went well. But this time( Feb 20th, 2026) , the hygienist was pretty rough on my gums. I think she should try to be gentle and also let the numbing agent work for several minutes before cleaning. I told her it hurt, after the procedure because how can I speak when mouth is being poked? Will let her know before next cleaning about being more gentle, not to shove and poke so hard and to let that numbing agent work before proceeding.I had never experienced such pain even after the procedure. The pain came on whenever I had to bite food. I finally had to take a dose of Advil. Thenthe pain gradually subsided and was gone.
