I visited Down River Smiles after I had a bad experience with a different north side provider. After the initial consultation with Dr. Harding at Down River Smiles, I felt confident in his knowledge and skills. Dr. Harding demonstrated empathy and care throughout the entire process. His goal was to ensure I would be happy with the results. Dr. Harding explained each step throughout the process, and he demonstrated a great deal of patience. Additionally, Dr. MaCall, the owner of this practice, was involved in the initial consultation and in the surgery.
Both these Doctors were exceptional. I would highly encourage anyone who is searching for a dentist to choose Dr Harding at Down River Smiles.
Additionally, the entire office staff at Down River Smiles are exceptional. They are also very knowledgeable, friendly and willing to answer any questions. Each time I walked into the office I was greeted with a smile. They have made my visits a great experience. Thank you to both Doctors and to the entire staff at Down River Smiles!

While the initial appointment went great. The next one did not. I originally went in for a tooth that was giving me pain and causing inflammation in my jaw. I was under the impression the tooth would be extracted at my next appointment as it was causing me pain. I came in to not only find out I wasn't scheduled to get the tooth removed. I wasn't even scheduled for work being done on that side of my mouth. The only reason I'm giving more stars is because when the mistake was made, they worked fast to fix it.

I can't say enough about Downriver Smiles, from the moment you enter the office, the front gals are so friendly and full of smiles. You will be well taken care of with the tender and efficient dental hygienists. One that especially comes to mind is Ms. Tess Hart. Not only is she extremely professional bust she is so sweet and really cares about you. Dr. Gaunt is very methodical and systematic and noticed I needed a crown and some other things taken care of. We scheduled those and he did them all in one day. I trust him completely! Schedule your visit with the best dentists and dental hygienists in town! You will not be disappointed.

I recommend Downriver Smiles wholeheartedly. Dr. Gaunt is always friendly and always stays to answer any questions. All their hygienists are amazing! Ive had extractions, root canals, fillings, deep cleanings, and each time the doctor and hygienists took wonderful care of me. The front desk staff is friendly and helpful when going thru the insurance and billing scenarios. This office is also very punctual, my appointments have all started on time.
