Smile Bar is all about cultivating an experience. How you feel is our utmost importance. Regardless of whether you've had a bad day, week or month… when you're at Smile Bar our number one goal is to have you feeling rejuvenated, energized and relaxed.
Hello, my name is Kendra, I am the founder of Smile Bar and I wanted to share my story!
Let's start with the name: Smile Bar. It doesn't necessarily sound like a dental space and that's just the point! Smiling is the universal sign of happiness and human connection.
Any service we provide should leave you with a SMILE.
The BAR portion of the name is a play on the food & service industry. I thought to myself… most people I know look forward to a dinner reservation. Excited to experience the food, drinks, atmosphere & good conversation with friends. Then I thought to myself… no one looks forward to a dentist appointment. WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THIS?!
I’m going to take a second to introduce you to my childhood. I grew up with a dentist for a dad & a dental assistant as a mom. I frequently hung around the dental office and naturally was desensitized to the environment. When friends would ask me “what do your parents do for work?” their response would always be… “Oh I hate the dentist” “That place gives me anxiety” “The sound of a drill haunts my dreams” “The smell makes me sick.”
Bringing you back to WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THIS?! This has been a lifelong dream to shake up the whole experience. Your 5 senses won’t be picking up on “dental” because what you see, smell, hear, touch, taste has all been intentionally focused on and disrupted.
The vibe inside of Smile Bar is fun, light hearted and family oriented. Remember my dad the dentist? Well he loves his job so much he just won't retire! You can find him hanging out here - sharing his never ending wisdom and passion for oral health. Educating you about whole body health (not just teeth talk) with a holistic approach to helping you create your dream smile.
Family owned & operated? Check! No corporate head office, no outside funny business & no production pushing going on here. Triple check!!!
Smile Bar is the place to head to after a workout. Hang out at the oxygen bar & rejuvenate your muscles and blood flow. Did you have too much fun last night? The oxygen bar is your answer for hangovers and headaches. Stop by for a heated full body massage in our zero gravity massage chair.
The services are all top shelf (see what I did there).
This is a space you can feel safe in, step out of your busy day to day life and into the oasis that is Smile Bar. Custom suites set up to your liking with a comfort menu on the side.
Yes, all things dental are still done here - with a new, elevated approach.
This is somewhere you can look forward to visiting!
Get a Top Shelf Smile & come hang out.
I can't wait to meet you at the bar,
