We first met Dr Smutka 23 years ago when my then-3 year old son had a dental emergency. I have never before or since met a provider so professional, so compassionate, and so caring with children. I've referred many friends/family to him.
I believe he may have saved my son's life. Our family dentist wanted to use general anesthesia at Northgate (not Northwest - Northgate) Hospital on my toddler to extract a broken molar. Instead of the trauma and potential risk, Dr Smutka easily extracted the tooth at his office using only novacaine and a little nitrous oxide. All 3 of my children went to him until they were 'graduated'; Dr Smutka said the long hair & grunge clothes of my teens were making his other patients - all small children - uncomfortable. I strongly recommend him and am preparing to send my grandchildren to him
