Pros
- Great benefits including; PTO, medical, dental, vision, 401k (WITHOUT match) disability, pet insurance, and life insurance for yourself and whole family. - Bonus potential - Respected as a PROVIDER.

- no match for 401k - chart notes
Advice to Management
My only concern working as a dental hygienist for the company is the chart noting. I work 2 columns and at times do 3 columns when I accept a cleaning for new patients to offer "yes!" and "same day starts" motto.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Smile Brands full-time for more than a year
Pros
Full clinical Autonomy, support from specialists.
Cons
High staff and assistant turnover, not enough patients to produce good, not up to date with current technology, management and front desk keeps changing all the time, not a stable work environment.
Advice to Management
Pay employees enough and treat them well so they feel valued and don't quit so frequently. Get high quality assistants who are knowledgeable and present themselves, their doctors and the office well. Pay the doctors a guaranteed base salary so they don't leave when it gets slow.

I love working for Smile Brands because they truly care about the patients and the staff. They offer a variety of benefits for everyone. The company loves to give back to the communities as well as help out those in need.

Smile Brands is always bringing in new protocols trying to make this company the best they can be but can cause confusion because there are some people that don't always get the newest protocol.
