  • I can’t say enough about Coleen & Jay at the front reception desk. They are always friendly and acknowledge you right away as you enter into the waiting room. First impressions are very important to me, and at the Smile Zone they make you feel special every time you have an appointment. They are #1 in Customer Service.

  • I cannot offer enough accolades for my experiences at The Smile Zone in Colonie. From the minute you walk in the door until you leave, every staff member you encounter makes you feel welcome. Dr. Schumer walks his patients through every step of whatever procedure he is performing and is a perfectionist. You can be assured of the best results possible or you won’t be leaving. He treats everyone with the utmost respect, always. I would highly recommend to anyone and do whenever I have the opportunity to do so.

  • I found Dr. Buckley and her assistant to be both professional and caring. I feel that she has a wonderful addition to your staff. In the future I would just like to have her as my dentist in that practice.

  • I had a cleaning today with Nicole. I was called in on time. Cleaning went smoothly. Dr Schumer came in for the final check and got the thumbs up! I have my next app’t scheduled and got my goody bag of dental supplies. This office is great for reminding you about upcoming app’ts. And, if you need to reschedule there is usually no problem. I highly recommend!

Painless and comfortable experiance I had with smilezone opposite with my previous dentist. I’ll gladly go back here for more cleaning and filling experience. I’ll definitely recommend to my friends and family.

  • I have been a patient here for years. Weather it’s a cleaning, a cavity or a root canal, I always get the best of care, and a feeling of confidence in their capabilities. Their primary concern is what is best for you, and making you comfortable for the procedure. Every visit has been a positive experience.

  • I have been a patient of Smile zone for many years. The service is great from the hygienists to the dentists. They are taking pre-cautions with Covid-19, from hand sanitizer to temperature checks & masks. I highly recommend them.


    - Christina Kokoras
  • Heidi was very sweet and fully explained everything to me. She gave me an update to previous problems. She and the dentist came up with answers to another small issue I have and made an appointment very quickly. Great Dental office with very professional employees.


    - Colleen Carnegie
  • Highly recommend! I’m a new patient of Dr Buckley and she is awesome! She was able to save a tooth that another dentist said had to be pulled. Not something I wanted to do, would be noticeable when I smile! She saved it with a root canal and she is gentle and makes u feel comfortable. Excellent skills as a dentist! Everyone at smile zone is kind and professional. You can trust that they really do care about their patients. I’m happy to be one of them!


    - Kemm Cameron
  • I have been to many dentist in the past and everyone of them makes me feel like they can’t help my teeth. That’s until I went to the Smile zone. They are amazing here. Not only are they incredibly nice, they also want to make my smile perfect. I have never been one to smile in photos, but know I can’t help but smile. Thank you.

  • I have had multiple issues with my teeth ever since i fell on my face. Almost my whole top has been crowned over the past 15 years. I was terrified to go to the dentist for a long time that I never replaced those crowns since that time. 3 months before my wedding I chipped my front crown. I live right near smilezone and once i learned that they accepted my insurance i scheduled an appt. Dr schumer took care of me right from the beginning. He actually not only fixed my front crown but all 4 in the front… before.my wedding. Ive never seen crowns looks so good. He is very meticulous and tedious during his process which made me so much more comfortable. Since those 4 crowns he has replaced 3 others. For the first time in a long time i am comfortable smiling and havent had pain. I would highly recommend him to everyone. Thank you so much!!

  • I absolutely love the smiles zone My hygienist Veronica is the best !


    - Marie Abraham
  • I am a new patient at the Smile Zone. I was met with a very warm welcome that included a tour of the office. I loved that they explained every step they were taking throughout my cleaning and exam. I have never been to a dental office that was so informative and educational. I appreciated the extra time taken with me today! The dentist recommended a night guard that my previous dentist failed to suggest for a problem that has been on-going for years! Gabby was very sweet, professional and helpful. Looking forward to continue to visit this office for all of my dental needs!


    - Erica Wroblewski
  • I have recently switched myself and children to the Smile Zone and the experience has been wonderful. My 4 year old son is no longer afraid of going to the dentist. They are kind, professional, and polite, while adjusting their approach to the patients age and activity level. I had a filling completed today. I was in and out in under 25 minutes with no pain. I would highly recommend this office to others and have already told my friends about it.


    - Beth Hotaling
  • I have the gift of one of the most gentle, thorough, dental hygienist. Tia is an amazing professional. Add Dr. Seaback as my Dentist it is the dream team.
