What Smile Associates does

Smile Associates is a privately held, single-location dental practice headquartered at 331 State Highway 310, Canton, NY 13617, with firmographic year_founded 1978 and headcount in the 11-50 range. The firm operates as a general and specialty dental services provider offering preventive, restorative, cosmetic, and orthodontic care to patients of all ages in the Canton, NY area. The practice is led by two named dentists—Dr. Bryan Francey and Dr. Ann Hazan (Board-certified through the American Board of Dental Examiners and the National Dental Board; BS in Nutritional Sciences from Michigan State University Honors College, 2004; DDS from University of Michigan School of Dentistry, 2008; one-year general dentistry residency at University of Toledo Medical Center).

The practice operates a horizontal service portfolio across eleven named categories: General Dentistry (preventive exams, X-rays, cleanings, deep cleaning, scaling and root planing), Family Dentistry, Exam & Cleaning, Orthodontics (traditional metal braces and Invisalign clear aligners), Cosmetic Dentistry (crowns, veneers, bonding, bridges), Teeth Whitening, Dental Crowns, Dental Implants (single-tooth, multi-tooth, and implant-supported dentures), Dental Fillings, and Root Canal therapy. Underlying technology is standard clinical dental equipment—digital imaging, dental X-rays, examination tools—and nothing proprietary, differentiated, or AI-enabled is disclosed. Office hours are Monday-Thursday 7:30 am-4:30 pm and Friday 8:00 am-Noon.

Smile Associates runs a direct-to-consumer professional services revenue model with quote-based pricing that is not publicly disclosed. Patients schedule appointments via the practice website or by phone (+1-315-386-3886); the practice accepts new patients for both adult and pediatric care. Critically, the practice is out-of-network with employer-based insurance plans and is not accepting new Medicaid or marketplace insurance patients, indicating a cash/commercial-insurance payer mix and limiting addressable patient population. Marketing channels are limited to the service website, a Facebook page, and a Google Business Profile—standard SMB dental local-marketing assets without disclosed spend, performance data, or active paid acquisition.
