I had the best experience with Simply Southern Smiles.. Dr Woods and his staff was Awesome from start to finish .
I'm so Happy with my Smile 😃
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Antoinette for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a great experience with Dr. Woods and our team.

M. E. K.
As a senior, I was less than thrilled about getting braces, but after a bad fall that left my bite and smile completely off, I had no choice. Dr. Woods and all the staff at Simply Southern were amazing! From the first time I walked into the office I felt encouraged and completely at ease! I took a little longer than most of my teenage counterparts due to some unexpected health problems, but that just meant I got to see Dr. Woods and his staff more than most patients! The visits were always a good experience, (the office music was uplifting), and I got my bite and smile back! Highly recommend Dr. Woods!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words! It truly means a lot to our entire team that you trusted us with your care, especially after such a difficult experience.
We understand that starting orthodontic treatment later in life can feel overwhelming, and we’re so glad you felt comfortable, encouraged, and at ease from the very beginning. Your positivity and perseverance—despite the unexpected challenges—were inspiring to us, and it was a pleasure getting to see you at your visits along the way.
We’re thrilled that you got your bite and smile back, and even more grateful to have been part of that journey with you. Thank you again for your recommendation!
– Dr. Woods & the Simply Southern Smiles Team

Response from the owner:Thanks Corrie! for the 5 star review. We are very proud of you and your beautiful smile. Thanks for always bringing a positive attitude and a smile.. Sincerely, Dr. Woods & Team.
Angela B.
I’ve always had dental issues, primarily overcrowding. Over the years, this insecurity about my smile led me to develop dental anxiety and visit the dentist frequently.

When my son needed orthodontic care, we were referred to Dr. Woods. Through my experience with him and his office, I realized they were incredibly helpful and caring.

Feeling inspired, I decided to take the plunge and get braces for myself. Dr. Woods and his staff have been fantastic and patient throughout the process, addressing every issue and concern I had.
Response from the owner:Thank you Angela for the 5-star rating. We appreciate you and your family more than you know! So proud of how hard you worked to help us rebuild your amazing smile! Sincerely, Dr. Woods & Team.
Revanna M.
My son just got his braces off and loves his smile! Dr. Woods and staff have all been so awesome and friendly throughout this entire process.

Response from the owner:Thank you Mel for your 5 star review. You are a 5 star patient. We could not have asked for a better partner. Sincerely, Dr. Woods & Team!
Stephanie
My experience has been great. Something I really like is the background music they have, and the staff is really nice.
Response from the owner:Thank you Stephanie for the 5 Star Review! We love our Praise and Worship at Simply Southern Smiles. We know that when praises go up, blessings come down. Its been a blessing to care for you. Sincerely, Dr. Woods & Team!
Cathy C.
I am so excited and glad that I went with Simply Southern Smile. Dr. Woods & his team are fantastic every time. The teams are consistent, friendly and kind. My estimate time with braces is 33 month. I had an over crowded canine with much needed works on the bottom (both side with a open gaps at the wisdom) that I would not have known could make a difference. I also had 2 upper wisdom tooth pull to give my others room to shift. ( I have very tight cheeks, no wiggle rooms) My teeth shifted fairly quickly within 1 month, soreness, bracket poking gum. Everthing will be sore because my teeth shifted My uncomfortable tolerance was low, no issue there. I found that water flossing is my best friend for braces. My upper brackets was out in 27 months before time.
Response from the owner:Thank you Cathy for the 5-star rating. We are so excited for you and your amazing smile…we look forward to seeing you at every appointment. Sincerely, Dr. Woods & Team!
