Comprehensive Dental Care Under One Roof
General dentistry covers the everyday work that keeps a mouth healthy: the cleanings that prevent problems, the fillings and crowns that repair them, and the urgent care that handles the things nobody plans for. At our North Port office, that range is staffed by one dentist. Dr. Annie Smith is implant-certified, Invisalign-certified, and comfortable across restorative, preventive, and cosmetic treatments, which means most of what your family needs is completed here rather than referred out.
That breadth is the practical benefit, but the continuity is the real one. As the owner and sole provider, Dr. Smith diagnoses, plans and performs your treatment herself, and she sees the same mouth year after year. She is also the person accountable for the result, which is why every procedure completed at our office carries a one-year warranty. Very few dental offices will put that on paper.

What It Is Like to Be a Patient Here
Wellen Family Dental is family owned and operated, and Dr. Annie Smith is both the owner and the only dentist. That single fact shapes almost everything else about the experience.
Your appointment is scheduled at a realistic length, so nothing is compressed to make room for the next patient. Dr. Smith performs your examination herself, shows you what she is looking at on the screen and explains it in plain language before any treatment is discussed. When she does recommend something, you receive a written estimate first and you approve it before anything is booked. If a problem can safely be monitored rather than treated today, she will tell you that too.
When you call, a member of our team here answers and can look at the actual schedule with you. Our front desk learns your name, your hygienist follows your gum health across the years, and Dr. Smith knows your history without reading it off a chart. She is also personally accountable for the outcome, which is why every procedure completed at our office carries a one-year warranty.
Cost, Coverage and Care in Your Language
Cost is the most common reason people delay dental care, and it is the reason a small problem so often becomes an expensive one. We try to remove that obstacle before it starts.
- Insurance. We are credentialed and in-network with most major dental plans, including Cigna, Delta Dental, MetLife, Aetna, Guardian, Humana, United Healthcare, GEHA and many others. Being in-network means you pay the negotiated rate rather than our full fee. Our team verifies your benefits before your appointment at no cost, with no obligation to schedule.
- No insurance. Our in-house membership plan covers preventive care from $33 a month with 20% off most other services, no waiting periods, no deductibles and no annual maximum. New patients without coverage can start with our $119 visit covering a cleaning, complete digital X-rays, and a full exam. We also offer a 5% cash discount and a 10% veteran discount.
- Financing. Cherry and CareCredit are both available, and many plans come with 0% financing. Cherry is free to apply for and applying does not affect your credit score.
- Bilingual Team. Dr. Smith and our team are bilingual in English and Spanish. Understanding your own diagnosis, your options and your costs should never depend on a family member translating a conversation about your health.
