A healthier, brighter smile starts now, and we can’t wait to welcome you to SmileWorks Dental.
We keep our payment process simple and straightforward. SmileWorks Dental accepts the following forms of payment:
Our front desk team is happy to walk you through your payment options before or after your appointment so there are no surprises when it comes time to pay.
For patients who need help spreading the cost of treatment over time, SmileWorks Dental accepts CareCredit, one of the most widely used healthcare financing options in the country. CareCredit works like a credit card specifically designed for health and wellness expenses, including dental care, and can be used for everything from routine preventive visits to more involved procedures like dental implants or cosmetic treatments.
CareCredit offers a range of financing plans, including promotional periods that allow qualified applicants to pay off their balance interest-free when the full amount is paid within the promotional window. Applying is quick and can often be done online before your appointment. If you have questions about whether CareCredit is right for your situation, our team is happy to help you think through your options.
If you do not have dental insurance, SmileWorks Dental offers The Smile Plan, our in-house membership plan designed specifically for uninsured patients. Members receive access to a comprehensive range of dental services, including specialty-level care such as root canals, extractions, and implants, all with a membership discount applied. Unlike traditional insurance, The Smile Plan has no claim denials, no annual maximums, and no waiting periods. For patients weighing CareCredit against The Smile Plan, our team can walk you through both and help you figure out which makes the most sense for your situation.
Yes! We specialize in making your smile perfect and just how you want it. Our cosmetic services include porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, invisible braces, dental implants, crowns, and bridges.
Dr. Lind recommends bringing your child for a regular dental visit as soon as their first tooth appears, or by their first birthday. Early visits help children get comfortable with dental care and prevent dental anxiety. SmileWorks even offers a fun, no-charge first visit where your child can meet the team, ride in the dental chair, and receive a toothbrush to take home.
Yes, Dr. Lind offers services to treat both TMJ and sleep apnea. He is credentialed with American Sleep Dentistry, which is needed for offering a sleep apnea appliance. He also provides a thorough exam for TMJ during his standard patient exam and offers many services, such as a bite guard, to provide relief.
At SmileWorks, we accept most dental insurance plans. We also accept all major credit cards, cash, checks, and offer interest-free financing through CareCredit.
We also offer our own benefits plan called our “Smile Plan.” This includes 2 exams, 2 cleanings, x-rays, 1 panoramic scan, and cancer screenings.
It is recommended to replace your toothbrush every 3-4 months. Of course, you should replace it earlier if you have been sick or if your toothbrush bristles are worn. Using a worn-out toothbrush can lead to ineffective cleaning, poor dental health issues, and an increase in germs and bacteria in your mouth.
Posted on Google Jason GerardTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have seen a few dentists in the Treasure Valley and Dr. Lind is by far the best one! He takes his time with patients and explains the process of whatever procedures I’ve had done over the years in detail, answering any questions along the way. His staff and team of oral hygienists are top notch! I’ve typically had cleanings conducted 4 times a year and they always take the time to make small talk and ensure I’m comfortable through the cleaning experience. It’s not just enough to be a competent and professional dentist these days; especially with all the options available. I’ve had plenty of those over the years and the experience falls flat. Dr. Lind’s personalized and attentive approach goes the extra mile beyond professionalism and separates him from the rest of the competition. I’m also in the Army Guard and every year I have to get a dental form filled out for our Soldier Readiness Processing. In the past it was a hassle to get this form filled out and returned to me by other dental offices. I often waited for up to a week to get the form back, but not with SmileWorks! Dr. Lind is on top of it and I’ve typically received the form back the same day. I highly recommend Dr. Lind and SmileWorks for anyone who wants to be treated with the utmost care and attentiveness for all your dental needs. 5-Stars All The Way!!!Posted on Google AmyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My son was worried about how painful his root canal might be… Dr. Lind and his entire team were awesome. They are always professional, but really did their best to make sure he was comfortable throughout the procedure. THANK YOU!Posted on Google Amber AnayaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Smile Works is amazing! I have a very nervous little girl and they were so patient with her, didn’t rush her, and so gentle and caring! All the staff were so great!Posted on Google Lauren ModicaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just had some cosmetic procedures done for my 13yr old daughter and they were wonderful!!! Office was beautiful! Staff was happy, smiling and everyone we came in contact with, went out of their way to make sure my girl was comfortable throughout the process. Definitely a lovely experience! Thank you Smile Works!Posted on Google Patti ZimmermanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Lind and his staff are so accommodating and professional. He really cares about his patients.Posted on Google Jo NobleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just moved to Idaho and broke a tooth. I called Smileworks as a referral from a friend. The staff was pleasant and friendly. I was seen quickly and had all of my questions answered. They set up a treatment plan for me and explained the charges along with my insurance payments. This was a great experience for someone who doesn’t like the dentist. I have a second appointment to fix my tooth, build the crown and a filling all in the same day.Posted on Google Armando CostalesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My 92 yr old mother has been going to Dr Lind and Smileworks for nearly two decades. He and his team are the best dental office she has ever had. They have worked skillfully and tirelessly to preserve her teeth, which have been poor all her life. Smileworks are consummate professionals in all aspects of dentistry, including in the latest advances in technology. Dr Lind even made a house call to my mother’s assisted living facility to ensure her smooth recovery from a procedure. Because of my mother’s experience, my spouse and I became patients when we moved to Idaho six years ago. Same outstanding care and assessments from each of us, with a bonus. My spouse has mild-moderate sleep apnea. Dr Lind is also expert in treating this condition with an oral appliance. Smileworks has mitigated the problem nearly completely, without the misery of a CPAP machine. We are nearly 70, and have lived around the world. Smileworks is the best dentistry team we have ever found. Period. Dr Lind is also a leader and skilled trainer. He has built and maintained a top flight team. Smileworks has an excellent in-house insurance plan. We recommend you take the opportunity to place this important part of your health care in the best hands.
