If I could give 50 stars, I would! EVERYONE was fantastic, from the Mighty Duo of tech Britney and hygienist Karina, to of course Dr Rene Dewenter, my phenomenal, professional, and highly-conscientous dentist. Palm Canyon Smiles Dentistry is a rare contemporary jewel of a dental practice that puts patients before profits in this era of corporate healthcare. I learned so many helpful tips from my hygienist Karina, and benefited greatly from Britney's careful placement of their diagnostic imaging tools. Their 360-degree scanner actually provided a clear view of a condition that was misdiagnosed by my previous dentist, but properly diagnosed by Dr. Dewenter. We have a winner! Thank you, Palm Canyon Smiles Dentistry, for your flawless and thorough care!

Ive had such a good experience with this dental office and its entire team. After having a terrible experience nearly 10 years ago and tight finances I haven't been back to a dentist, until spring of 2025, where I had to be seen. Since then, this team has been considerate of my work schedule, my needs, wants, and my finances. I cannot express how thankful I am to have a good dentist to go to now.

I finally obtained dental insurance and randomly chose Palm Springs Smiles Dentistry because it was on my approved list. I am so glad I did. The office staff is wonderful. My dentist, Dr. Verma, is outstanding. She is warm, personable, has great bedside manner, and makes me feel reassured that all will be well. That says a lot considering I’m a 68 year old man who has spent a lifetime in the dentist chair and must have nitrous oxide just to get through a cleaning! I’d also like to send kudos to their specialist, Dr. Herrera, and his assistant Shyla. They had to do a procedure that involved cutting away part of my gum. They were so reassuring that I chose to do it without nitrous. They said I can always stop and add it if necessary. I got through it with flying colors because of their calm reassurance and warmth and outstanding bedside manner. I cannot recommend this dental office enough.

What is the Mouth-Body Connection® ?


The Mouth-Body Connection® refers to the link between oral health and overall health, and the role that the harmful bacteria and inflammation in our mouths play in chronic, systemic disease. That’s why it’s time we talked about more than your teeth. Our office prioritizes your overall health as it relates to your oral health. When we care for your smile we’re also looking out for your entire self.
