About Smile Workshop
Smile Workshop is a dental practice on Broadway in the San Antonio International Airport Vicinity area of San Antonio, Texas. Sedation dentistry uses inhaled, oral, or intravenous options to help patients relax through treatment, ranging from nitrous oxide for mild anxiety through to deeper sedation for longer or more involved procedures. It is commonly used for patients who have avoided the dentist for years due to fear.
At the core of a general dental practice is preventive and restorative care: checkups, professional cleanings, fillings, and screening for decay and gum disease before either becomes a bigger problem. It is the kind of appointment most people need on a routine schedule rather than only when something hurts.
Continuity matters in dental care — seeing the same practice over time means your history, X-rays, and any patterns in your oral health are already on file, rather than starting from scratch at each visit. That familiarity is part of what a regular dental home offers beyond any single appointment.
Dental anxiety is common, and most practices are used to working with nervous patients — through clear explanations of what is about to happen, a slower pace where needed, and sedation options for patients who want them. Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety tends to make eventual treatment more involved, not less.
Children benefit from starting dental visits early, generally by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth coming through, mainly so they become familiar with the setting before any treatment is actually needed. Establishing that routine early tends to make ongoing checkups far less stressful for both child and parent.
Payment and insurance arrangements vary by practice and by treatment, so it is worth asking directly what is covered and what options exist for anything that is not, rather than assuming either way. Getting that clarified before treatment starts avoids surprises once it is underway.

Dr. Galvan & staff are awesome! He provided me with quick imaging including a CT scan that showed me abscesses and things the prior dentist didn’t show. He got me in at the last minute and was very informative!! Thank you so much!!!
Treat you like your family!! Veronica, Erika, Jazmin are amazing people extremely sweet, answers all your questions very understanding, very caring!! Dr. Galvan also is great and will answer any question you might have. I really love it there. I am blessed to have found them!
Hard to improve on “excellent/The Best”, but these gals and Dr. Galvin accomplish this goal every time I go in. Thank you so much 🙏😀
This was my 1st apmt at this Dental office. I arrived early knowin i wud have paperwork to fill out. Which i did quickly. When Gaby called me to come back, the 1st stop was pano x-ray. Easy enuf. She introduced some staff onn the way to her area. Everone was pleasent and friendly. Then came the individual x-rays. Usually these are not the easiest to do. But, Gaby is real good at them. I’m usually somewhat nervious by this point, however this time was completely different. She and the others have a way to make you feel relaxed and calm. As we went thru the exam, she explained ever detail and procedure that she was gonna do. Unfortunately my procedures are more extensive than my scheduled time wud allow. I had to be scheduled for anuther day for her to be able to accomplish the deep cleanin i need. I have no worrys that what she has to do will be dun as quickly and as painless as she can possibly make it. I highly recommend The Smile Institute to anyone needin any dental work of any kind. They do it all. They are very friendly and professional. I will gladly return for all my appointments for anythin they feel i need to have dun.
I set up an appointment for a second opinion for my mom after a series of unsatisfactory experiences with other dentists. I was immediately put at ease by Erika with her kind and very empathetic demeanor during the intake process. During my mom's visit, Dr. Galvez took time to listen to and validate my mom's concerns. He gave a thorough explanation of what he observed and made reasonable recommendations for next steps. Erika ensured that I was up to date on Dr. Galvan's assessment and plan and she provided prompt follow up, going above and beyond by calling the endodontist when we were having difficulty getting in touch with their office. I greatly appreciate the peace of mind offered by Dr. Galvan's staff knowing that my mom feels heard and valued as a patient. Thank you!
Erica’s kindness and knowledge helped me tremendously. I was scared at first but she helped ease all my worries. Dr Galvan did an amazing job. They sure do make you feel like family not just another client. Thank you to Veronica too for always being there to help with whatever questions I had.
Good day, once again, I had a great service at the smile Institute. Gaby is a wonderful professional and has knowledge, wisdom, and experience that I haven’t had in the last 17 years of getting dental service. I would recommend the smile Institute to anyone that wants great service, professionalism, knowledgeable people that can inform you of what’s best for you and then Carrie out the treatment to the point , that i think I fell asleep. Great job Gaby Thank you
Just an amazing group of professionals, with huge hearts…. I love visiting these folks, it’s like being with family. All are razor focused on their responsibilities to correct my smile, and advise, on my dental needs, while comfortably opening their hearts in order to comfort me. It doesn’t get any better than this, no matter what city, you’re in, across the country.
Amazing staff and doctors always very sweet and patient with me every time I visit. They really will go the extra mile for you, your comfort and your teeth, truly showing their care and dedication for their patients. The staff team is very respectful of me and each other leaving the office feeling very friendly and positive.
