The Smile Lodge Pediatric Dentistry

I honestly can’t say enough good things about Dr. Hussein and the sedation team. As a mom, having your child go through a dental procedure with sedation is nerve-wracking, and I was definitely an anxious mom going into it. Everyone was so kind, patient, and reassuring, and they made us feel like our daughter was in the best hands. Dr. Hussein was wonderful and took the time to make sure we understood everything and felt comfortable. The sedation team was also amazing and took such good care of our girl throughout the whole process. Even though it was a stressful day for us, they made it so much easier by being so caring and reassuring. Our daughter did great, and seeing her comfortable and happy afterward meant the world to us. ❤️ We are so grateful to Dr. Hussein and the entire sedation team for taking such wonderful care of her. Thank you for making a scary experience so much easier for this mom!

Dr. Hussein and the sedation team at The Smile Lodge, were truly amazing in the handling and care of our 7 year old son. They made sure that - as parents -we were well informed and addressed any and all concerns… some even before we asked. They were friendly, kind and compassionate and worked amazingly as a team. … And they have great singing voices! lol It worked wonders in easing our tensions and reassured us ( child and parents) that all is well -and all would be well. I’ve already recommended a friend for her son’s dental needs. If you’re considering treatment for your child, rest assured they’ll be left in amazing hands with Dr. Hussein and his sedation team.

It was my son’s first visit so we weren’t sure how it was going to go but, Melissa made him feel comfortable and was able to complete the cleaning! The atmosphere was great and we’re happy to be patients here!

Smile Lodge is such a fantastic dental facility. Their staff is cheerful and so welcoming. My son is autistic and they were so patient and kind to him. He had to be sedated and had to have surgery and I couldn't have hoped for a better experience. The whole team was so supportive and understanding. They explained their whole plan and made sure I knew what was going on the whole time, plus encouraged my son through the procedures. They did an amazing job and I will be taking my kids here for all our dental needs for here on out! Keep up the good work Smile Lodge! You guys are fantastic!

Dr. McMahon and the sedate team are absolutely fantastic! My daughter had to have some dental work done and from start to finish they make you feel absolutely at ease. The procedures can be a little stressful but the staff and nurses that are there are fully equipped to handle any and all situations. If we ever have to have cosmetic work done again they will truly be our first choice!

Dr Hussein and the sedation team did an amazing job with my son’s dental procedure. They were informative, quick, efficient and did their best to make my son, my husband and I comfortable during a potentially difficult situation. My son was smiling even after the work was done. The aftermath of coming off of the anesthesia was to be expected, as the team did specify beforehand. We are genuinely grateful for the team’s professionalism and ability to make my son feel safe during the entire process. They were really good at making it as fun as possible for my almost 5 year old! Thank you Dr.Hussein and team!

We’ve been going to Smile Lodge for a couple of years now, and we’ve been incredibly fortunate to have Dr. Hussein care for both of our children. He performed a procedure on our son, and recently helped our 8-year-old daughter as well. We were initially referred to another doctor for her, but unfortunately things didn’t work out. After that experience, I specifically requested Dr. Hussein because I knew he would take great care of her. He truly worked his magic. He was able to pull four of her teeth in just 10–15 minutes, all while keeping her calm and comfortable. She walked out feeling proud of herself and excited that she had gotten everything done. Dr. Hussein has an incredible way with children. His patience, kindness, and confidence made what could have been a scary experience into a positive one for our daughter. We’re so grateful for the outstanding care he provides and highly recommend both Dr. Hussein and the entire Smile Lodge team.

We would like to express our sincere appreciation for Jackie. She was absolutely amazing with our nonverbal autistic teenage son during his appointment. From the moment we arrived, she was patient, kind, understanding, and respectful of his needs. She took the time to make him feel comfortable and never rushed the process, which made a huge difference for both him and our family. Finding healthcare providers who truly understand and connect with individuals with autism can be challenging, and Jackie exceeded all of our expectations. Her compassion, professionalism, and ability to provide excellent care while making our son feel safe and respected were remarkable. We are incredibly grateful for the positive experience she provided and hope she receives the recognition she deserves. Thank you, Jackie, for your outstanding care! ❤️

We have been going to this office for 13 years. All 4 of my children have had wonderful experiences here. The staff are amazing and friendly. They explain processes and procedures to the children and the parent. They are transparent about costs upfront. We all really appreciate how all staff at the Smile Lodge treat children and parents with respect.

Our son had a successful first dental visit! He was even given a sticker, care package and rubber ducky on the way out. The team was super efficient, front of house to back of house. The dental tech who escorted us in, set us up, wrote down inquiry for the Doctor and then even gave us a fidget toy to play with! It was super thoughtful gesture. Granted it was a QUICK peek, review, and “cleaning” hehehehe But the staff was like happy to help but also very happy to not push, scare or traumatize kiddo. He’s roughly 1 year, enough teeth to be seen so their primary concern was establishing relationship. Very happy & we will be back in 6 months for our next wellness exam. I didn’t catch our Doctor’s name but the staff absolutely announced it, he introduced himself very kindly & professionally. He was sure to address any questions or concerns and provided concrete guidance.

I have consistently found it challenging to get my 8-year-old daughter with level 3 nonverbal autism to tolerate dental appointments, including simple cleanings. Nevertheless, our appointment yesterday at Mt. Brushmore building under the care of Dr. Hussein and the sedation team was remarkably successful. They went above and beyond to ensure both my daughter's and my own comfort during the visit. The sedation team skillfully used her favorite cartoon as a distraction method during the procedure, contributing to her calm demeanor. Furthermore, their kindness and attentiveness persisted as they followed up with us post-procedure, providing extra popsicles to ease her gums. I highly recommend smile lodge for your child's dentist! 😊
