Smile Advantage Plan
Preventive Care Without the Premiums
Dental insurance is not the only way to stay on top of your teeth. Our Smile Advantage Plan covers your preventive care for one annual fee and takes 20% off everything else at our Edwardsville, IL, office. Pick the plan that matches your mouth rather than the one an insurance company assigned you.

Michelle is the best hygienist on the planet!I can’t say enough good things about Michelle at Hite Family Dental. My cleaning was extremely thorough and honestly the most comfortable one I’ve ever had. My teeth have never felt so good!What really set Michelle apart was her knowledge. She took the time to explain everything she was looking for and why it mattered, so I left feeling informed instead of just rushed through. She made me feel completely at ease and clearly takes pride in her work.If you’re looking for a hygienist who is skilled, kind, and genuinely cares about your oral health, ask for Michelle. I wouldn’t trust my teeth to anyone else. Highly recommend!
