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. Contact details for Smile Workshop are on this page, along with the full list of services offered — reach out to ask about scheduling.

I visited the Smile Institute for a teeth cleaning with trepidation as I had broken my neck some months ago and had very limited flexibility. Gabby was wonderful, very gentle with me. If you're hesitant to go to a dentist, I highly recommend Dr Galvan and Gabby.

Dr Galvan and his staff are great and always a good experience at the office. I'm comfortable and that has not always been the case with past dental experience.

I love Dr. Galvan and his staff. I've had regular cleanings, braces, and now a crown, and they have been so helpful and informative through all of it. I'm so glad I found them when I needed a new dentist about five years ago.

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!!!

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.
