Our Heart and Mind are in the name: SMILE CARE DENTAL
In 2001, when husband and wife dentists Dr. Adam Szymczak and Dr. Joanne Baldos took over the “Pinebush Dental Office,” they renamed it Smile Care Dental. By doing so, they set out to build a “dental home” where every visit leaves patients feeling seen, cared for, and valued. Smile Care Dental isn’t just a name, it’s a promise.
The name Smile Care® Dental reflects our soul: a place where expertise and empathy meet, wrapped in a promise to treat your smile and you with unwavering care.
SMILE: A Reflection of Our Care, Guided by Our Expertise
At Smile Care Dental, every smile we see tells a story. When our patients leave their appointment with a genuine smile, it’s the clearest sign that we’ve done our job by providing care and service that earns satisfaction and trust.
But we’re more than observers of smiles, we’re experts in creating and protecting them. As dental professionals, we understand the science, function, and art behind every smile. We combine medical expertise with a deep commitment to personalized care, ensuring your smile is not only comfortable but also healthy, lasting, and beautiful.
“Smile” is a keyword in our name because your smile expresses your confidence in us, and our expertise ensures that the trust is well-placed.
A smile is the attitude with which we welcome you to our clinic, “welcome home”, “Aloha”, “One Love”, “ Namaste”.
CARE: Because You Matter, and We’re Here for You
At Smile Care Dental, “CARE” is more than a word in our name; it’s at the heart of who we are. To us, caring about you means you truly matter; caring for you means we act to protect your health, comfort, and confidence every time you visit.
We’re passionate about people’s smiles, health, and well-being, and we feel humbly blessed to use our skills to help others live healthier, happier lives. That’s why we treat every patient the way we’d treat our own family members and friends—listening, guiding, and offering treatments only when they’re genuinely needed.
We also invest the time and effort to build lifetime relationships. By understanding your unique needs and goals, we can support you not just today, but for years to come—helping you enjoy a smile that reflects both your health and happiness.
“CARE” is our guiding ethos—to see you, hear you, and place your long-term well-being at the center of everything that we do and not do.
DENTAL: Expertise with a Light Touch
At Smile Care Dental, dentistry isn’t about doing more; it’s about doing what truly benefits you. We believe that the best doctors prescribe the least medication, and the best dentists perform the least dental work. Every recommendation we make is grounded in science, guided by expertise, and designed to protect your long-term health.
As medical and dental experts, we understand both the function and the beauty of a smile. That knowledge allows us to focus on prevention first and precision always: preserving what’s healthy, restoring only what’s necessary, and enhancing your smile in ways that maintain your health, support your confidence and well-being.
At Smile Care Dental, “Dental” doesn’t mean procedures. It means thoughtful, expert dental care that enhances your overall well-being. Above all, our approach is guided by one fundamental principle: less dental work is healthier for you. We strive for prevention, quality, and lasting results, because the best dentistry is no dentistry at all.

Our TRADEMARKS Protect What We Stand For
At Smile Care Dental, our name and the phrases we use aren’t marketing; they’re a reflection of what we believe and how we practice. That’s why we’ve chosen to trademark the ideas that embody our promise to patients.
Smile Care®
For us, “Smile Care” isn’t just a name; it’s the heart of our mission. We have trademarked it to protect the trust, compassion, and expert care that define our practice, so that whenever someone sees “Smile Care,” they know it truly represents our gentle, ethical, patient-first approach to dentistry.
Smile Doctor®
Every dentist at Smile Care Dental is a Smile Doctor. We care for your smile in two ways. Literally, we protect and enhance the health and beauty of your teeth. Figuratively, we strive to put a smile on your face by ensuring you’re genuinely happy with your care and experience. “Doctor” reflects how we see our role: not as procedure-focused technicians, but as healthcare professionals dedicated to your overall well-being. We look at the whole person, not just the tooth in the chair, because we believe smiling is an essential part of health.
By trademarking “Smile Doctor”, we safeguard a name that embodies this unique, patient-first philosophy, where expert dentistry meets genuine care for your health, happiness, and confidence.
A Smile is Worth a Thousand Words®
We believe a smile is more than teeth — it’s confidence, warmth, health, and happiness expressed without saying a word. Our trademark “A Smile is Worth a Thousand Words” captures this belief and reflects our mission to help patients enjoy smiles that speak volumes — smiles that show they’re healthy, comfortable, and genuinely pleased with their care. By trademarking this phrase, we’re protecting a promise that every smile we help create tells a story of trust, compassion, and expert dentistry.
These trademarks aren’t about ownership; they’re about protecting a promise — so that every time you see our name, you know exactly what it stands for: expert dentistry with a light touch, and care for the whole person behind every smile.
