Beyond my professional endeavors, I find immense joy in immersing myself in various experiences that enrich my life.

It’s An Experience,
Not An Appointment
From your very first visit to Smile Snob, you’ll see that we do things a little differently than other dental practices.
When you arrive, our concierge will be waiting at the front desk to greet you and escort you to our lobby – which is less like a waiting room and more like a lounge. While you wait, we’ll offer you our signature mocktail (cheers!) and then give you a tour of the office, including our state-of-the-art dental lab.
You will then be led to our x-ray and photo room where we’ll capture images of your mouth and its underlying structures. Then, you’ll head to our dedicated new patient room, which features a spa chair instead of a normal dental chair so you can sit back and relax in comfort while you get to know Dr. Mark or Dr. Mia.
Your dentist will also get to know you, taking the time to learn more about your smile goals and comfort preferences. They will also share with you the current state of your oral health and discuss potential treatment options, then get you scheduled for your next visit.
We believe in easing you into your dental care, rather than just drilling and filling right away, so you can feel comfortable and confident in your treatment when the time comes.
