Comprehensive Dental Care for Every Smile
At Wellen Family Dental, you will always see the same familiar face. Dr. Annie Smith is the owner and sole provider at our North Port dental office, which means your treatment plan is created, performed and followed up on by one dentist who knows your history. There is no rotating roster of providers and no corporate script.
Our practice was built around a simple idea. Patients deserve a dentist who explains options clearly, recommends only what is needed and stands behind the work. That is why every procedure we complete comes with a one-year warranty, and why so many North Port families have made us their dental home.

Skilled. Caring. Trusted
Meet Dr. Annie Smith
Dr. Smith graduated from Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale in 2017 and has spent more than eight years building a career around one idea: treat patients the way she'd want her own family treated. She later completed 300 additional continuing education credits to earn her implant certification with the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, and went on to become Invisalign certified as well.
Fluent in both English and Spanish, Dr. Smith makes sure every patient understands their diagnosis and options before any treatment decision is made. If a case ever calls for a specialist, she personally connects you with referral sources her office already trusts.

No pressure, no padded treatment plans.
Our team has spent years in the field before joining this office, so while the doors are new, the hands doing the work are experienced.

Maria L.
I have nothing but praise for Dr. Smith and her staff at Wellen Family Dental. I originally called to schedule an appointment as a new patient; however, a sudden tooth pain caused me to call and see if they could fit me in sooner. They did and I was so pleased with their care, attention, and explanation for the next steps. I highly recommend Wellen Family Dental!!

Dr. Smith is a thoughtful listener, doesn't rush you or the dental work, and is skilled at what she does. At Wellen Family Dental, you are treated like family. After having bad experiences with other dentists in the area, I am exceptionally thankful to have found Dr. Smith. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fantastic dentist.
