Routine Dental Checkups That Actually Prevent Problems

Preventive care is the foundation of everything we do. Regular family dental exams and professional cleanings allow us to catch small issues before they turn into costly ones. During each visit, you'll receive a thorough cleaning from one of our skilled hygienists, a comprehensive exam from Dr. Patterson, and any necessary X-rays to give us a complete picture of your oral health. We also offer fluoride treatments and sealants to give both kids and adults added protection between visits. Staying on top of routine dental checkups is the single most effective way to keep your smile healthy and your treatment costs predictable over time.
One Practice for Every Age
Comprehensive Care for Kids, Adults, and Everyone In Between

From a child's first cleaning to an adult's long-overdue exam, SmartMouth Dental Care is equipped to treat patients at every stage of life. We see children and adults alike, and our approach stays the same regardless of age: clear communication, gentle technique, and zero shame. For families managing multiple schedules and budgets, our SmartMouth In-House Dental Plan offers a practical alternative to traditional insurance. The Adult Essential plan starts at $35 per month and the Child Essential plan at $29 per month, both including two cleanings, exams, and X-rays per year, plus a $25 Rollover Reward per visit that can accumulate toward larger treatments. It's a straightforward way to keep the whole family covered without the paperwork.

A Legacy of Care in Twin Falls
A Dentist Twin Falls Has Known for Generations

Dr. Tom Patterson didn't just set up a practice in Twin Falls. He came home to one. His father was a longtime Twin Falls dentist, and Dr. Patterson built on that foundation with rigorous training, including an HPSP military scholarship residency in Ohio through his service in the U.S. Air Force. That combination of generational roots and advanced clinical training means you're getting a dentist who is deeply invested in this community and genuinely qualified to handle complex care in-house. One of our hygienists also teaches at the College of Southern Idaho, which reflects the level of clinical knowledge our team brings to every appointment. When you choose SmartMouth for your family's general dental care, you're choosing a practice with real ties to Twin Falls and the expertise to back it up.

Common Questions
What Families Ask Us Most
  • How often should my family come in for routine dental checkups?

    For most patients, two visits per year is the standard recommendation for professional cleanings and exams. This schedule gives your dentist a regular opportunity to catch developing issues like cavities or gum disease before they require more involved treatment. Some patients with specific oral health conditions may benefit from more frequent visits. During your first appointment at SmartMouth, Dr. Patterson will assess your situation and let you know what schedule makes the most sense for you and your family.
  • Does SmartMouth Dental Care see children as well as adults?

    Yes, SmartMouth Dental Care sees patients of all ages, including children. The team is experienced in providing general dental care for kids in a comfortable, low-pressure environment. The Child Essential plan, available at $29 per month, includes two cleanings, exams, and X-rays per year along with a $25 Rollover Reward per visit and 20% off most services, making it a practical option for families looking to keep their children's oral health on track without the cost unpredictability of traditional insurance.
  • What does a routine dental visit at SmartMouth typically include?

    A standard visit includes a professional cleaning performed by one of our hygienists, a comprehensive exam with Dr. Patterson, and any X-rays needed to get a clear picture of your oral health. Depending on your situation, the visit may also include fluoride treatments or a discussion of preventive options like sealants. The goal of every routine visit is to give you a complete, honest assessment of where things stand and what, if anything, needs attention, without unnecessary upselling or clinical jargon.
  • What if I don't have dental insurance? Can I still afford regular care?

    Absolutely. SmartMouth offers an In-House Dental Plan designed as a direct alternative to traditional dental insurance. The Adult Essential plan is $35 per month and covers two cleanings, exams, and X-rays annually, plus a $25 Rollover Reward per qualifying visit that can build up and apply toward other treatments. There is a one-time enrollment fee of $99 per member. Plans are month-to-month after an initial agreed-upon minimum period. HSA cards are also accepted. For new patients, the $65 new patient consultation is a low-cost way to get started.
  • How does the Rollover Reward work under the In-House Dental Plan?

    The Rollover Reward is a $25 credit earned at each qualifying visit under the SmartMouth In-House Dental Plan. These credits accumulate over time and can be applied toward the cost of other services, with the potential to cover up to 100% of a procedure. It rewards patients who stay consistent with their preventive care. The more regularly you come in for cleanings and exams, the more credit you build up for when you need something beyond routine maintenance.
  • Is SmartMouth a good fit for patients who have dental anxiety?

    Yes, and it's one of the main reasons the practice was built the way it is. SmartMouth operates on a strict no-lecture, no-judgment policy, so you won't be made to feel bad about the state of your teeth or how long it's been since your last visit. For patients with significant anxiety, the practice also offers sedation options including nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and IV conscious sedation. The $65 new patient consultation is a low-risk first step for patients who want to get a feel for the environment before committing to any treatment.
  • Can I schedule appointments for multiple family members on the same day?

    SmartMouth uses the Adit scheduling system, which is designed to make booking straightforward and convenient. The practice also uses texting as a scheduling tool to reduce friction for busy families. While same-day multi-member scheduling depends on availability, the team is accustomed to working with families who need to coordinate multiple appointments efficiently. Reaching out directly is the best way to find a time that works for everyone in your household.
