"Life Changing"
I was a patient of Dr. Juracka's when he worked in Pennsylvania. It's now time for my annual dental check-up and it hit me hard that he moved out of the area. Dr. Joe was always pleasant, very easy to talk to (felt like an old friend), and did great dental work for me and my family.
I was extremely impressed with the way he treated my sweet friend, Mary who has severe dental anxiety. She needed to have a lot of work done and I convinced to her to see Dr. Juracka. I was so impressed that he invited me to sit with Mary and hold her hand during his assessment and treatment. Dr. Joe was so kind. He explained everything in a calm and respectful way. We never felt rushed. Mary was completely comfortable despite the significant work that needed to be accomplished. She was calm and relaxed, and even felt comfortable enough to go to her third appointment without me! This was life changing for Mary. She no longer dreads the dentist, and she has a beautiful smile now as a testament to Dr. Juracka's expertise.

Simply the Best!
Have to say Dr Juracka, Diana and the staff at “Smiles For life Dental” are simply the best ! I had found myself in dental distress for years searching for a lifeline bouncing from one bad dentist to the next, thank goodness I found my way here ! There is a level of comfort and care at Doctor Juracka’s practice that cannot be found in other dental practices. Finally I can live pain free and sleep soundly knowing I have a dentist who genuinely cares for my well being ! Thank you Doctor Juracka, Diana and the rest of the family @“ Smiles For Life” !

BEST dental experience I've ever had
I recently moved to the area from out of state, so I had to pick all new medical and dental providers-which is a huge task. I had gotten a deluge of flyers about dentists near me and just had no idea who to choose. Smiles for Life had a dentist who went to school at a Midwest University I was familiar with, so I chose them, and am I ever SO glad I did!!
From the initial phone call to schedule an appointment, to the immaculately clean, Beautiful, Comfortable office layout, to the Dental Assistant to Dr. Juracka, DMD, I can truthfully say that this was one of the BEST dental experience I've ever had in my 60-something years. (And no, dear reader, you don't get to know the # behind the 60).
I highly recommend Dr. Juracka and Smiles For Life Dental Care. (And I'm usually afraid of Dentists!)

Very Nice People
I highly recommend this dental practice. To begin they are very nice people.
They are very thorough in asking you questions to meet your every healthcare need and make your experience there as comfortable as possible. The hygienist was excellent at explaining everything prior to cleaning my teeth and answered questions along the way. Dr Juracka was great at diagnosing any dental issues that need to be followed up on with him later.

"...puts you at ease..."
My husband and I are so happy to be patients at Smiles for Life. Everyone in the office is so kind and helpful. Dr. Joe is awesome with my 85 year old father. Joe definitely puts you at ease in the chair.

"...consistently kind and professional..."
My dentist has moved to Saratoga! I have been a patient of Dr Juracka for 5 years. I have always been pleased with his work and how he handled the doctor/patient relationship in a consistently kind and professional manner. I am sorry to see him go. I wish him well back in his home town and give him my unconditional recommendation.

"The entire staff is warm and welcoming,...10 Stars!"
As someone that has always had anxiety going to the dentist I felt compelled to give a review of Dr Juracka's practice. The entire staff is warm and welcoming and really makes you feel at ease throughout the entire process. I can honestly say that one of my biggest insecurities is my teeth and Dr Juracka took the time to understand how I felt and get me on a plan to make me feel confident every time I flash a smile. I hardly ever give reviews on anything but if I could give Smiles for Life 10 stars I would. Thank you so much for everything!!! If you are like me and have been struggling to find a dentist, I cannot endorse Dr Juracka and his staff enough. Give them a chance and take back your smile. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

"Passionate"
Welcome Dr Juracka! If you are looking for a new Dentist in your area, look no more. If you are feeling uneasy about the transition from Dr Johnson to Dr Juracka, don’t be. Dr Juracka is wonderful and I can say that first hand. I had the pleasure of working for Dr Juracka and I was also a patient of his for 5 years. Dr Juracka is very passionate about his dental work and he has always done everything in his power to ensure that his patients are comfortable and satisfied while under his care. We all know that going to visit the dentist can be stressful at times but he has a way of making it enjoyable! You will not be disappointed with him and his work.
