Frequently Asked Questions

Have a question about visiting Smile Magic? You are in the right place. Below are answers to some of the questions families ask us most. If you do not see what you are looking for, your nearest Smile Magic location is always happy to help.

Getting Started

When should my child first see a dentist?

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a child see a dentist by age 1, or within six months of their first tooth coming in. Early visits help your child get comfortable and let us catch anything small before it becomes a problem.

Do you see adults, or just kids?

Both. Smile Magic is a family dental practice, and we care for patients of every age, from your child's first checkup to your own crown, implant, or denture. We are family dentists experienced with children, not a kids-only clinic.

What should I bring to my first visit?

Please bring a photo ID and your insurance card, if you have one. If you completed your new patient forms ahead of time, bring those too. That is really all you need to get started.

Are you accepting new patients?

Yes. New patients of every age are always welcome at Smile Magic. You can book online or call your nearest location to get started.

Insurance & Payments

What insurance do you accept?

We accept most major dental insurance plans, including Medicaid and CHIP at participating locations. Whether you are in or out of network, our team will verify your benefits and go over your options before any treatment. You can see more on our Payments page

What if I don't have insurance?

No problem. We offer the Total Smile Club savings plan, which includes two exams and X-rays per year plus up to 30% off dental care all year long. Ask our front desk and we will help you get set up.

Can I pay my bill online?

Yes. Just visit our Payments page, click Pay Online, and choose your location to reach your office's secure payment portal.

Do you offer payment options for larger treatments?

Many of our locations offer flexible payment options to help make care more manageable. Ask your local Smile Magic team and they will walk you through what is available.

Your Visit

Can I go into the treatment room with my child?

Absolutely. We see parents as partners in their child's care, and we will never move forward without your okay. Together we will decide the best approach to help your child feel calm and comfortable.

Do you offer sedation for nervous patients?

Many of our locations offer multiple sedation options to help both children and adults who feel anxious. If dental nerves have kept you or your child away, let us know and we will talk through what is available at your location.

Do you speak Spanish?

Many of our Texas locations have Spanish-speaking team members, so families feel understood and informed. Se habla Español.

How often should we come in for a checkup?

For most patients, every six months. Regular cleanings and exams are the easiest way to keep smiles healthy and catch small issues early. Your dentist may recommend a different schedule based on your family's needs.
