Your scheduled appointment time has been reserved specifically for you. Should an emergency arise, we ask for 2 business days notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your visit with us. We are aware that unforeseen events sometimes require missing an appointment. If there is a trend of missed appointments we reserve the right to request a deposit of your portion prior to scheduling. While scheduling can be hectic for some, it is in your best interest to not delay help indefinitely.

Our office is committed to helping you maximize your insurance benefits. Because insurance policies vary, we can only estimate your coverage in good faith but cannot guarantee coverage due to the complexities of insurance contracts. Your estimated patient portion will be due the day of service. As a service to our patients, we will bill insurance companies for services and allow them 45 days to render payment. After 60 days, you are responsible for the entire balance, paid-in-full. If you have any questions, our courteous staff is always available to answer them.
By far the most professional and caring staff I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. They make going to the dentist actually enjoyable. If you want the best I’d suggest Altoona Smiles 😃
Experience starts right when you walk in the door. Greeted with welcomes and happy faces! Every staff member is exceptional at making you feel comfortable and are friendly!
Dr. Nicole and Emily are simply amazing! They do whatever it takes to make you feel comfortable. They go that extra mile to ensure you have the best care!
From someone who rarely went to the dentist to now going every 6 months, I definitely recommend Altoona Smiles!! My hygienist, Emily makes going to the dentist so easy!
Darcy was so professional and explained things to me the entire time. Just so refreshing to come to Dentist’s office and feel like part of their family. Thank you so much!!!
Very pleased with Altoona Smiles. Going to the dentist is not high on my list of things I enjoy. The staff is very friendly and professional. Sabrina especially is great at putting you at ease.
My experience at Altoona Smiles was very positive. Dr. Eric & Kaylor were thorough & pleasant. I have a great fear of dentists & they made me feel relaxed & comfortable.
I was very afraid to go to the dentist but everyone made me feel welcome and happy. I had some pretty major dental work done and Dr. Jenni and the assistant kept me calm.
