“We’ve been going to Altoona Smiles for several years now as a family. I had a crown and bridge put in today and I’m so happy with the results. I was very nervous and scared but Dr. Nicole and the staff made me completely comfortable through the whole process. I would highly recommend them!”

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!
I had an excellent experience with Carlie as my hygienist. She was very thorough and diligent about ensuring that my teeth were very clean. She was also pleasant throughout my entire visit. I would highly recommend her.
Just got back home from my first appointment to establish care. Amazing service. Friendly staff. I was blown away. So glad I found them. I will tell everyone to give Altoona Smiles a visit for their dental care needs!
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.
Dr. Eric is awesome!!! He is so good at what he does. He is genuine, kind hearted and down to earth. My family appreciates having him and his whole staff on our corner. If your looking for a great dentist I recommend Dr. Eric you will not be disappointed.
