Our Mission
Dentistry Built on Precision, Trust, and Lasting Results
Core Smiles was founded on a simple belief — that exceptional dental care should be both clinically rigorous and deeply personal. We combine advanced training, modern technology, and a genuine commitment to each patient to deliver outcomes that look beautiful, function correctly, and stand the test of time.

Founded by Specialists
Built by Two Doctors Who Believe Dentistry Should Feel Different
Dr. Michael Gulizio and Dr. Steven Cordoves built Core Smiles around a philosophy that dentistry should never be rushed, oversimplified, or disconnected from the patient's whole-mouth health. Together, they bring decades of advanced clinical training to every case — from complex restorations to cosmetic refinements.
What unites them is a commitment to doing things right. That means thorough diagnosis before any treatment, honest conversations about options, and results that prioritize function as much as esthetics. It's a standard that carries through every member of the Core Smiles team.
Our Approach
Comprehensive Care, Coordinated Around You
At Core Smiles, we don't treat problems in isolation. We evaluate your oral health as a whole — considering how your bite, joints, gums, and restorations all work together — and build treatment plans that address root causes, not just symptoms.
Whether your needs are routine or complex, our team works collaboratively to ensure your care is seamless, well-coordinated, and aligned with your long-term goals.

Our Technology
Precision Tools for Exceptional Outcomes
Core Smiles is equipped with advanced diagnostic and treatment technology — including 3D cone beam imaging, Fotona laser therapy, iTero digital scanners, CAD/CAM same-day restorations, digital smile design, and intraoral cameras — allowing our team to plan and deliver treatment with a level of precision and comfort that simply wasn't possible a decade ago.
Technology at Core Smiles isn't about novelty. It's about giving our clinicians better information, more predictable results, and a more comfortable experience for every patient who sits in the chair.
