Sedation Dentistry In Fresno At Prices Families Can Afford

I really love the entire staff at the office of Rob Smith! After having a baby during the initial pandemic shutdown in early 2020 I really let my dental work go and was in need of multiple fillings as well as a tricky root canal. It was a really scary thing for me to go in and get in done due to having really bad dental experiences in the past and struggling with overall anxiety. The entire office really made me feel comfortable and validated and Rob Smith as a really kind and calm bedside manner that I really appreciate. I am so glad I took the time to find them and get back to good dental health again!

Dr. Smith has been amazing with my 2 autistic children!!! He even personally called me to discuss my sons treatment plan. I 1000% recommend his practice. His office staff is also wonderful and so friendly and caring!

Staff is amazing Dr.Smith Melissa and Marybell treated me like family they were compassionate caring and very attentive to my needs I suffer from severe anxiety and they go above and beyond to make my visit as pleasant as it can be. Highly recommend!

As the mother of a special needs child I was super anxious about my son needing a root canal.

After an extensive search I came across Dr Robert Smith. Upon reviewing his website I felt very good about making an appointment and seeing about our options.

Melissa is absolutely amazing. She explained everything to not only my husband and myself, but to my son as well. We were informed of all our options for sedated dentistry.

My son had his root canal 3 weeks ago. It was the best experience we could have asked for. Caring, considerate, knowledgeable staff that took his needs into account while performing the work that was so needed.

If you've been looking for a sedated dentistry you owe it to yourself to make an appointment for a consultation. Dentistry doesn't have to cause anxiety, worry, there are other ways. I will forever be grateful that this is an option.

Awesome place to get your dental work done. Staff is great, doctor is great! I recommend this place for anymore who’s nervous about seeing a dentist, they provide sedation for those who have anxiety, such as myself. 10 out of 10.

The best experience I have ever had at a dental office. I had so many fears about going to the dentist that it took everything I had to keep the appointment. And I only made the appointment because I was in so much pain. I chose this office because there was a page on their website that described exactly the fears I had about going to the dentist and how the staff there would be able to help. Melissa is amazing! From day one she put me at ease and helped me through a lot of dental work. I trust Dr. Smith fully. Trusting a dentist is not something that comes easy for me after many bad experiences, but Dr. Smith is different. He is very good at what he does, he is professional, and the work I have had done over the past few years is excellent. I can't imagine going anywhere else.

Melissa and Dr. Smith were great. I chose this place specifically for the IV sedation because I need an extraction and a filling. I have severe anxiety and fear when it comes to the dentist. This was only a consultation but it was the best first visit I've ever had at a dentist office. They're very reassuring and gentle with their patients. I haven't had my procedure yet but I will update my review when I do. Thank you Melissa and Dr. Smith.

UPDATE

The procedure went well. I didn't feel any pain and best of all I don't remember a thing! As long as you listen to their instructions to a T everything will go smoothly. This place is truly one of a kind. I just had my extraction and filling yesterday and I've already made my next appointment!

When I tell you 5 stars is not enough…. It’s not. I have had a HORRIBLE fear of anything and everything dental for over a decade…until a week ago when I met the team here. They are so friendly and understanding and will hear you out and work with you! If it’s financing or just straight up phobia they are there for you. If you’re in search of new dental home I couldn’t suggest them enough. I’m actually excited to go back for my next round and know that I’m going to be in great hands! 100+ stars from me!

Dr Smith’s office puts the anxious patient at ease.
They have a friendly staff at the front desk who immediately make you feel welcome. They answered all billing questions. I can not rave enough about Melissa, Dr Smith’s dental assistant.
She held my hand through the whole process and even called me before and after my procedure to ensure I was okay. The dentist office is sooo good that I continue to come here even when they’re not in my network! Now that’s saying something!!!
You can’t beat their genuine service.
Thank you Dr. Smith for all you do.

Nervous patient here. Dr. Smith and his team put me completely at ease. Exceptional service and top-notch results every visit.

I have always been absolutely terrified of going to the dentist. A bad experience in my younger years left me with lasting anxiety, and for years, I avoided dental care altogether. But when I found myself in pain and in desperate need of help, I started searching online for a solution and came across Mellissa’s post about Dr. Smith.

After reading her story, I decided to give their office a try and I am so glad I did. Dr. Smith is incredibly caring, patient, and knowledgeable. He took the time to understand my fears and made me feel completely at ease. For the first time in my life, I can say I actually enjoy going to the dentist!

The entire team is wonderful and always friendly, welcoming, and professional.
Joanie is my angel, she is highly organized and consistently ensures that everything is managed efficiently. If you have dental fears, rest assured that Dr. Smith and his team will take excellent care of you. They truly make the experience stress-free and comfortable. I couldn’t recommend them more!

I was terrified to go to the dentist after years of neglect. I cannot express how happy I am that I came to Rob Smith DDS. The staff is amazing! Melissa is awesome, very comforting, and she made the experience very easy. I just went through my very first sedation process. I chose this due to my concerns with multiple appointments and prolonged pain. Sedation dentistry with Rob Smith DDS was the best decision. I'm on my way to a beautiful smile again! Thank you all so much ❤️

After more than 50 years of dental visits, I can honestly say Dr. Rob Smith is the best dentist I’ve ever had. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a friendly, professional team that truly cares about your comfort. Dr. Smith is gentle, thorough, and takes the time to explain every step so you always feel at ease and informed. His attention to detail and commitment to patient care are unmatched — I’ve never felt rushed or overlooked.

If you’re looking for a dentist in Fresno who combines skill, compassion, and genuine integrity, look no further. I’m so grateful to have found Dr. Smith and his team — they’ve completely transformed the way I feel about going to the dentist!

I’m glad I switched to Dr. Smith! From the moment I arrived, I felt comfortable and well cared for. The sedation made my visit stress free, and starting my implant process was smooth. Even though my treatment is still ongoing, I already feel much better about my teeth. Dr. Smith, Melissa, and the rest of the team are so kind and professional, they make you feel welcome.

Dr. Rob Smith and his team at Smith Sedation Dentistry in Fresno, CA, maintain a stellar reputation, particularly among patients who suffer from dental anxiety or have avoided the dentist for years due to past trauma.
Based on patient feedback and office specialties, here is a comprehensive review of the practice:
The Patient Experience: Calm and Non-Judgmental
The most consistent theme in reviews is the lack of judgment. Many patients mention arriving with "messes" or years of neglected dental work, only to be met with compassion rather than a lecture.
The "Vibe": The office is frequently described as professional yet warm. Patients often note that it doesn't feel like a typical, sterile dental office.
The Intake Process: A unique highlight is Melissa, the sedation coordinator, who many reviewers credit with making them feel comfortable before they even sit in the chair. Her own admitted fear of dental work helps bridge the gap for nervous newcomers.
Sedation Options
Dr. Smith is one of the few general dentists in the Central Valley certified for Intravenous (IV) Sedation, which is a major draw for the practice.
IV Sedation: Highly effective for those needing extensive work (root canals, crowns, or multiple fillings) in one sitting without the memory of the procedure.
Deep Sedation: He also collaborates with an MD anesthesiologist for patients requiring deeper levels of sedation, a rare offering for a general dental office.
Value and Pricing
Reviewers frequently mention that Dr. Smith is straightforward about costs.
Conservative Treatment: Patients appreciate that he doesn't push the most expensive option; he often presents the "less expensive but realistically good" choice first.
Accessibility: The practice accepts CareCredit and is known for trying to keep high-quality dentistry within a family’s budget. I highly recommend him and his staff for anyone to try.

I had a really great experience with Dr. Smith. I’d been avoiding the dentist for years because of dental anxiety, but a friend told me about his sedation experience and how easy it was. I finally went in, and Dr. Smith put me completely at ease. We came up with a reasonable treatment plan and he walked me through everything.

I was nervous about the sedation, but I’d choose it over being awake any day. The whole procedure went incredibly smoothly, even better than I expected. He prepared me well for what to expect afterward, which made the whole experience much easier.

I’ve already recommended him to others and will definitely be going back. If you’re anxious about the dentist, Dr. Smith is the one to see.
