Beautiful, Healthy Smiles for Saginaw Families
Where Saginaw Families Feel at Home
At Smith Family Dentistry, a healthy smile is only the start. We believe how you feel at the dentist matters just as much as what we do while you’re here. That’s why every visit is built around comfort, care, and zero judgment. From your first hello to your last checkup, our Saginaw team is here to help you relax, breathe easy, and leave feeling better than when you walked in.
Led by Dr. Curtis E. Smith and Dr. Molly McKenzie, our team combines gentle, modern dentistry with genuine care for every patient who walks through our doors, no matter their age or their history with the dentist’s chair.
Whether it’s a cleaning, a filling, a crown, or something more involved like a root canal or dental implant, we handle it all right here in Saginaw. No referrals, no runaround. Families trust us because we treat them like family, not patients on a schedule. That’s how we help kids grow up smiling, adults feel confident again, and Saginaw families thrive for life, one visit at a time.

Asked Questions
Have questions before your visit? Here are answers to some of the most common questions our Saginaw patients ask us.
Smith Family Dentistry accepts most major dental insurance providers, including Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, Delta Dental PPO, Cigna PPO, and GEHA Connection Dental. Coverage details can vary by plan, so our Saginaw team is glad to help verify your specific benefits before your visit.
Yes. Patients without insurance can apply for CareCredit financing, which allows you to cover the cost of treatment and pay it off over time on a plan that fits your budget. We also accept all major credit cards for straightforward, same-day payment.
Most patients benefit from a cleaning and exam every six months. This schedule gives our team enough time to catch cavities, gum disease, and other issues early, while keeping plaque buildup under control between visits. Some patients may need more frequent visits depending on their individual oral health.

Your first visit includes a review of your dental and medical history, a comprehensive oral exam, and a conversation about any concerns you have. Our team walks you through everything in plain language, so you leave with a clear, personalized plan for your oral health.
Yes. Smith Family Dentistry sees patients experiencing dental emergencies, including sudden tooth pain, injuries, and broken or knocked-out teeth. If you are dealing with an urgent dental issue, contact our Saginaw office as soon as possible so our team can get you seen quickly.
A dental crown covers the entire tooth and is typically used to restore strength after damage or decay, while a veneer covers only the front surface and is mainly used to improve the appearance of a tooth. Our team can help determine which option fits your specific needs.
For many patients, dental implants are one of the strongest options available for replacing a missing tooth. Unlike a bridge or removable partial, an implant replaces the tooth root itself, which helps preserve jawbone health and gives you a stable, natural-feeling result. Our Saginaw team can evaluate your specific situation to determine if implants are the right fit for you.
Most dentists, including our team at Smith Family Dentistry, recommend scheduling a child’s first visit around their first birthday or shortly after their first tooth appears. Starting early helps children build comfort with dental visits and allows our team to catch developmental issues sooner rather than later.
TMJ pain is often caused by teeth grinding, jaw clenching, misalignment, or stress, all of which put extra strain on the jaw joint over time. A custom-fitted night guard can help by easing that pressure during sleep, making it one of the most common and effective ways to manage TMJ symptoms
