About Smilo
A modern clinic with an old-fashioned bedside manner
General dentistry and five specialties under one roof, so your whole family can be cared for by one team that knows you.
Our story
The practice we’d want to visit
Dr. Marco Ruiz opened Smilo with two treatment rooms and a simple idea: dental care should run on time, explain itself clearly and never come with a surprise bill.
As our patients’ families grew, so did we. Today an orthodontist, an oral surgeon, a periodontist and a pediatric dentist work alongside our general team, so referrals mean walking down the hall, not starting over somewhere new.

What our patients say
★★★★★
I hadn’t been to a dentist in six years because I was so anxious. Dr. Ruiz explained everything before he did it and the laughing gas made the filling a non-event. I’m booked in for my next cleaning already.
Rachel T. · New Patient Visit & Filling
★★★★★
Chipped my front tooth on a Saturday morning, booked online at 8 and was fixed by 10. You honestly can’t tell which tooth it was.
Marcus L. · Emergency Repair
★★★★★
Both my kids actually look forward to seeing Dr. Novak. The cartoons on the ceiling help, but it’s really how patient she is with them.
