Why Choose Us?
One of the most powerful social tools we have is our smile. Our oral health is not just important for that reasons but also because it is a very important component of our body and one’s health. Unfortunately the separation of dentistry from medicine in dialogs across the world and in the insurance world has created this illusion that one does not affect the other. Whereas on the contrary it’s all very closely connected and our overall well being gets affected by our dental and oral health .
I believe great dental health not only gives one the confidence to be fully ourselves but also blesses us with great quality of life. Since teeth and mouth help you eat+nourish+digest, not only does it affect our overall health but also the quality of our life. Ask a young person with missing teeth and an unhealthy mouth and they will affirm all of the above.
I’m an Artist at heart and a doctor by profession. From childhood I have been a creative and nurturing being and what’s wonderful is that I found a path that combines these qualities where I get to create beautiful, healthy smiles and nurture my patients. Dentistry is one of the few professions that combines science, creativity, patient interaction and entrepreneurship in one. I hope to contribute and be a part of your health journey.

What our patients say
Dr. A was able to see me during my cleaning yesterday for a chip tooth and fixed it immediately. I did not have to come back later in the week. The hygienist is wonderful and gave great feedback the past cleaning which yielded great results in this visit. So grateful!

I’ve recommended Smile Artists to several friends nearby! They are incredibly organized, friendly, and I never feel like I’m getting pushed into treatments I don’t need. Offices are clean and welcoming, and there’s an option to watch TV during your cleaning, which is a fun touch. They are also great about patient education and seem to genuinely care about their patients’ dental health.

OMG! These ladies are the BEST! I'm so happy to support a woman-owned, woman-run business. The staff is always personable and very well-informed. Dr. Assundani is attentive and easy to approach with any lingering questions you may have.

If you're looking for the best dental experience you will ever find, look no further. The Smile Artists are that and then some. Everything is top of the line , starting with the staff and provided services to the equipment and decor. I woud describe The Smile Artists as a DENTAL LOUNGE rather than an office.

This is such a great crew of people. So kind and sweet. Professionally, I’ve never had such a thorough cleaning/filling where I was explained every little detail along the way. Atmospherically, the office is spotless and has great music playing. Also free parking is so great. I want everyone to come here. You’re selling yourself short if you don’t.
