The Classic Smile

Most knowledgable and friendly people working at this office. They made me feel comfortable and welcome. Would recommend this office to anyone. My teeth and mouth feel great and will absolutely go back for as long as I live in the area.

I love the Classic Smile! Everyone here is so friendly and very informative. They explain everything they are doing really well and make you feel comfortable. I have Invisalign and I love the outcome thus far. I had to get propel today to speed up the process of moving a certain tooth and their new tool is awesome! It is automatic so no more hand-​crank. I couldn’t feel a thing and the process was so quick and easy. I didn’t even have to use novocaine, just a super topical they have that worked great but didn’t leave me numb for hours after. I would recommend this office to anyone in the area, they really take care of you and your needs.

I’ve had horrible teeth my whole life and terrible luck with dentists and dentistry before… I still can’t believe how lucky I am to have found this place. Super professional, super courteous, do a good job of explaining everything including technical details of actual procedures. You can tell that the staff here constantly keep up with the latest in dentistry, are authoritative experts in their field and fully epitomize that true professionals never stop learning. I highly recommend Dr. Short and Dr. Gonzales, and they have excellent hygienists. I have been very happy with how they had planned out and performed fillings, dental surgery and orthodontic work. Scheduling has been very accommodative.
Yes, parking is a problem, but aside from the two assigned spots there is a whole free municipal parking lot right across the road.

I just started my Invisaline process with the Classic Smile and I have been supported each step of the way. Again, a place that not everyone loves to go, made fun. I highly recommend !

Pros: clean facility; helpful staff; flexible scheduling – I called to reschedule my appointment during hurricane sandy and they were happy to accommodate even though it was the day before. The hygienist is super friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. They seem to have the latest equipment in all facets of their service.
Cons: Parking is limited – 2 designated spots behind the building but good luck finding a spot on the street. Also, Dr. Short behaves like a car salesman. I just wanted a cleaning with zero cavities but he tried to sell me on a procedure I didn’t necessarily need or asked for. And he’ll continue to solicit for these procedures and you just have to keep saying no. It’s actually quite annoying.
Bottom Line: Dr. Short and his staff are very nice people operating at a clean and modern facility. Just be weary of him selling you things you may not need and good luck finding parking.

Can’t disagree more with previous post! I am terrified of the dentist and The Classic smile is the only place I trust for top of the line and state of the art care. Once my car was toed and I couldn’t make my appointment, another time my child was sick and I have never been charged for rescheduling. Not only that but I love the girls who work there from the front desk to the assistants. If you live in the medford area, you need to have Dr. Short as your dentist, he is the best. But my real favorites are Nicky, Suzanne, Carmen and Ashley. love the Classic Smile

I’ve been very satisfied with The Classic Smile for 20+ years for all my dental services — from fillings, root canals, and crowns to veneers and teeth whitening. My treatment plans were quickly and accurately explained through their state of the art technology and knowledgeable staff. Plus, the procedures (and there were many) were painless! I highly recommend The Classic Smile’s competency and friendly staff to everyone.
