Smile Ithaca
Smile Ithaca
Dr. Chris Sortman, DDS leads Smile Ithaca at 108 S Main St. Cleanings and checkups for the whole family, one-visit porcelain crowns, implants, clear aligners, and a real person who picks up when a toothache can't wait.
Smile Ithaca files your claims for you and runs a benefits check before your appointment, so the estimate is clear up front. No insurance? Ask about the VIP Plan.
Our in-house membership plan is a straightforward alternative to insurance. $33/month covers your exams, cleanings, and X-rays, plus 20% off every other treatment. No deductibles, no yearly maximums, no waiting period. Periodontal patients: ask about the VIP Perio Plan at $48/month.
Smile's values are Be Connected, Provide Certainty and Trust, Keep it Simple, and Have Fun. In Ithaca that means Dr. Sortman explains what he sees, you get a written estimate before treatment, and problems get fixed while they're small instead of "watched" until they hurt.
No drive to Lansing or Grand Rapids for routine care. Smile Ithaca is at 108 S Main St, serving Alma, St. Louis, Shepherd, Breckenridge, and Mt. Pleasant.
Digital scan, in-office design, permanent porcelain crown seated the same day. No temporary, no second trip into town.
Toothache, broken tooth, or swelling? Call first thing and we'll work you in as soon as we can. The Smile network keeps an on-call dentist for true emergencies.
Dental implants, bridges, root canals, and oral surgery handled here, with a written estimate before treatment begins.
iTero digital scans replace gooey molds and show you a preview of your tooth movement before you start.
A treatment coordinator reviews the plan and your insurance so you know the number before you commit. Consultations and second opinions are free.
