The Smiling Shop/Dental Hygienist E.Vis-Lacle

Located in the coastal community of Savaneta, The Smiling Shop is a specialized dental hygiene practice founded and formerly led by the late Ethel Vis-Lacle. The clinic is dedicated to the principle that a healthy smile is the foundation of overall well-being. Unlike general dental offices, this practice focuses specifically on the “prevention” side of oral healthcare, providing a less clinical and more approachable environment for patients of all ages.

The clinic is particularly well-regarded for its patient-centered approach, focusing on education and the meticulous removal of plaque and tartar to prevent gum disease. Its location in Savaneta provides a convenient and tranquil alternative for residents in the south of the island, offering professional hygiene services without the need to travel to the busier urban centers of Oranjestad.
