Fredericksburg Smile Center is a Dentist in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Dr. Cathie Hidalgo received her Doctor of Dental Surgery from the Medical College of Virginia. She attended dental hygiene school at Old Dominion University and has been in private practice in Fredericksburg since 1985. She has extensive training and certification in all procedures of General Dentistry. In 2004 Dr. Hidalgo was voted “Best Dentist” by Fredericksburg Guide Book and in 2006 she received the Commonwealth Council of Girl Scouts Woman of Distinction Award for Community Service. Your mouth is the gateway to the rest of your body, and a healthy mouth leads to a healthy body. Annual cleanings can help to prevent cavities, gum disease and other complications. Envisaging uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually move your teeth. You wear a set of aligners (not retainers) for about two weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.

Dr. Butterworth and his staff are amazing! Can’t wait to get invisalign!!! Beautiful office and incredibly friendly staff.
Great dental practice! They take care of my family and I all at once and do a great job.
Went in with my husband for a first time visit. I was referred by a co-worker. They were very attentive. Did not feel pressured at all for any extras needed.
I’m really afraid of dentists due to a bad experience when I was younger, but my visit this afternoon was really nice–everyone was really helpful, nonjudgmental and answered all my questions.
I took my mom to see Dr Butterworth. Everyone was over-the-top kind and caring to my 85 year old mom! After we left she just kept saying, “everyone there is just so nice”. She was touched by the kindness and so was I!
My husband and I were looking for a new dentist after our other retired. Found this practice to be very pushy on treatment plans.
This is a great dental office❗️
Clean, friendly, easy access! …
Went to my first appointment at the Smile Center 0918. Selected SC, since they were in-network providers. Had a very enjoyable experience. HIGHLY recommend.
this place is so nice! the waiting room alone is wonderful and relaxing and big. Not like the normal waiting room where there are like 4 seats. And the staff is so nice and helpful. they called me as soon as they had an earlier appointment available and didn’t forget about me. I’m so glad I chose this place!
Horrible place. Incompetent, rude assistants who told us lies from the first moment we walked in. Even before my son saw the doctor they told us that he had to get a panoramic picture of his mouth in order for the doctor to be able to make …
Multi-generational family practice. Great at what they do. The Smile Center provides forthright and insightful direction on the best way to fulfill your dental needs.
If I could give it negative stars, I would. This practice almost killed me, and I am not exaggerating. I had a back molar that needed to be removed, and this was the practice we were using at the time. I told the staff on multiple …
I highly recommend this dental office. The atmosphere is delightful, the dentist and staff are friendly, and they are very thorough.
On April 12, 2012, Fredericksburg Smile Center had a Free Dental day. I received the flyer from the Moss Clinic associated with Mary Washington Hospital. So, I woke up at 5:am to take a shower and get their early. They opened at 7:am. I …
I found their office management staff to be very unprofessional. My wife and I at first enjoyed the services provided but were quickly discouraged by a lack of communication, follow up, and consistency. We were over charged more than …
Fredericksburg Smile Center has been an ENORMOUS blessing. The past ten years of my life have been quite difficult. A medical discharge from my beloved Marine Corps, the lost of both my Mother and Father, and an extreme battle overcoming …
This place is OOOOOOmazing!! I walked in the waiting room and I thought I was in a 5-star hotel lobby! Very friendly and great customer service! 2 minutes and I was already getting my x-rays. Natalie was Super Fantastical!!! Asked how my …
This practice is only interested in making money off of you & only have the facade of good customer service. We had a medical emergency which caused me to cancel my appt a few hours before. I offered to bring in the docs showing that we’d …
The best dentist I have ever been to! Everyone is extremely friendly and helpful. They always have smiles on their faces.
My wife has been a loyal patient here for years as I was before moving to ruther glen. After trying local dentist practices there I decided to come back. Best decision of my life. Everyone from the ladies in the front to everyone I’ve had work on my teeth have been awesome! Thank you all so much.
I had an appointment for myself 2 weeks ago and for my 17 year old today. I couldn’t be happier! The office is so professional and the atmosphere is very calm. Couldn’t be happier with my dentist!
My family and I have been going here for nine years and love it! We would definitely recommend. I’m weeks away from finishing my Invisalign treatment and love the results already.
They are awesome here. Been coming for a few years now. I’d recommend more but I don’t want them to be to filled for me!
Smile Center has been out family dentist for over 13 years. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Dentists are top notch!
I suffer from dental anxiety due to previous bad experiences with other practices, and everyone at this office goes above and beyond to make me comfortable every time I’m there! Can’t thank you all enough. Our whole family loves this practice.
Absolute worst experience at a dentist office ever. Waited over a year only to be informed i would have to pay for a deep cleaning to continue treatment. My insurance only covers regular cleaning and that would not suffice. Went to another dentist were i was taken care of in less than a week. I would not waste my time.
Had a really good experience at this dentist office . Very friendly staff, very efficient and clean ! Kevin and the doctors knew exactly what they r doing handles each tooth with comfort and care . Highly recommend this office !
Went here last month for checkup after 2 filings fell out. They quoted me over $2000 out of pocket after insurance for 2 crowns and 1 filling. Went to another dentist for a second opinion and without telling them what the smile center …
Another great visit. Amanda and Rebecca were fantastic. Love the enthusiasm about their work.
I really liked the pleasant and kind personalities from all the staff that works here. That’s a rarity these days. I felt like I was their number 1 priority while I was there. I appreciate the calming environment and was very impressed by the modern technology. As soon as I saw the dog I felt instantly at home. Fantastic experience!
Dr. Hidalgo told my husband and I about Invisalign two years ago. Metal braces were not an option for us at our age and in our professions so we decided to try it and cannot believe the results. (I no longer need to wear the aligner but …
The staff at Fredericksburg Smile Center is always personable and Dr Butterworth is great. Cool lobby decor too!
Love Dr B! I drive 2.5 hours just to keep him as my dentist. You won’t find a more comforting staff and gentle doctor in NoVa. Thank you FSC!

The staff was amazing and walked me through everything I needed to know. The hygienist and dentist were great and very kind. I highly recommend the Smile Center! Best dentist office around!

Great experience! Dr. Brooke took great care of me! The doctors worked with me despite my lateness. They were very professional, the place is very comfortable and makes you feel safe in the professional hands! They did great! Recommend this place!
I took my 5 year old for her cleaning there yesterday and Ashly did a fantastic job of getting her to calm down and be able to clean her teeth AND get bitewing x-rays no other office/dental assistant has been as nice or patient with her. …
Let me start by saying, Dr. Butterworth is a more than competent dentist. MORE than competent dentist to do any type of work done in your mouth but let me also tell you that this dentist office as a whole needs help with their overall care …
When it comes to going to the dentist I tend to run the other way!! This time I had no choice, I needed a tooth pulled and my stress level was out of the roof to say the least!! …

I have been looking for a good dentist since I retired from the Marines and finally found one! An awesome experience from start to finish. Everyone was friendly and professional. A great experience and I’d highly recommend them.
This dental office is the best at making the patron comfortable! Friendly staff. Can’t give 5 stars because I have trauma associated with the dentist from years ago. Otherwise, you can’t find a better place to get all the dental care you need.
My wife and I love Fredericksburg Smile Center! We have been coming to them since we moved into the area and could not be happier. They are a family practice that makes you feel like family. I have received Invisalign treatment as well as …

I be been going here for the past 6+ years, since retired from the Marine Corps. I have always been happy with everyone, from the front desk, to the techs and dentists. …
So far a great first visit with great people. I have 2 upcoming appointments so we will see if my review changes.i am upset that I am a new customer and my first visit and there was no introduction packet or goodie bag. I think this would be a good idea because that is what other dentists do.
The staff has been great! The services great! They even got me in on a Friday when I was up the night before with major discomfort I was having. Dr Seaman was concerned, had me worked in the schedule, saw me immediately when I arrived and …
Professional doctors , Friendly staff and they have top of the line technologies.
However, treatments options are very pricy. Also I had a checkup appointment …
This is by far the best dentist I’ve ever been to. I’ve been going to Dr. Seamen (was Butterworth) since she was in her old building on route 1. Their new office is very nice, and I liked the atmosphere. They seemed to go above and …

It was my first time at FSC and Kevin, Jackie and Dr. Seaman were AMAZING! I’m usually scared to go to the dentist but everyone was very nice and personable and they walked me through the entire process. I had a great first impression and am looking forward to my 6 month check up.
My last dentist visit was approximately 4 years ago at another Fredericksburg area dentist. The reason for so much time between visits was a bad root canal and being told I needed one possibly two more. In typical guy fashion, I decided I …
An exceptional staff lead by an extremely talented Doctor, The Smile Center is far and away the best dental office in the region. I would recommend this dental practice to anyone who generally enjoys being happy, looking great, and feeling well taken care of. They do it all!

I have been going to this dental group for nearly 40 years. I was terrified of going to the dentist in my youth. The Smile Center with Dr. Seaman and Dr. Butterworth changed that for me. The staff is courteous and treats its patients …

I have been in and out of dentist offices for 47 years. I have changed several dentist offices in that time either based on lack of professionalism or issues with standards of care or unhappiness with customer service. The Smile Center has …
Love this place! Great people, cool office, very thorough.
The staff was polite and professional. Shoutout to Kevin especially who made me feel safe and made sure I had a good experience. I did have a good experience. The reason for a low rating comes from the fact that when my mother visited two …
Amazing experience today. First time at this office and if you’re hesitating to see a dentist office, this is the one for you.

Lets start off saying I did a lot of heavy research about choosing a dental office after moving here from another state. I have extreme dental anxiety and wanted a quality professional facility. After my first appointment with …
Been going there a couple of years now,. The work they do is good. However there is a focus of trying to sell you products and surgery you do not need.Staff is friendly-but only somewhat helpful. And they will not work with the insurance company to help you out
Extremely happy with this office! I am a highly anxious patient when it comes to any dental procedures other than cleanings, and Dr. Butterworth and his team took such great care of me! I had a wisdom tooth removed using oral conscious …
We have had such a great experience here! The entire staff is welcoming and so friendly. Mr Kevin made my son feel comfortable and went out of his way to make sure he wasn’t nervous being at the dentist. They don’t make you wait weeks and weeks for an appointment & are always so quick! We have found our new family dentist.
Great environment. Staff are exceptionally friendly and work well with young children. Great with scheduling and following up with appointments and reminders. Highly recommend Smile Center.
Doctor B and his staff are very accommodating. Every time I need to schedule a visit or move an appointment the staff is on top of it. The waiting room is very comfortable and his taste in music isn’t too bad either. I would highly recommend FSC!
Dr Butterworthand his staff have been wonderful. Appointments are on time. They are great with kids and will take their time to explain everything and answer any questions. My family has been going here for a few years now and have been very happy.
Loved this office from day 1. Aside from their highly decorative waiting room and great front desk personnel, my kid’s dentist Dr Diguardia and Dr Butterworth, is thorough and patient.
The Smile Center is excellent! Dr. Butterworth and his staff are always so welcoming and helpful. Bringing a toddler to the dentist is no easy task – but Kevin does an outstanding job of making my 2-yr old daughter feel at ease every time we go in for a check-up, and she always leaves The Smile Center with a smile!
I’ve been going here for years and have nothing but great things to say. They are professional and everyone in the office from the front desk, the hygienist, and dentist always seem genuinely happy towards all their customers. I can also …
Dr. Butterworth and the Smile center staff are fantastic. Willing to work with finances and treatment plans and service is too notch!

I’ve been coming to the Smile Center since I first moved to Fredericksburg in 2006. It was recommended to me by a friend and I always had great experiences with them. I had Invisalign with Dr Buttersworth and it was so easy!! I definitely recommend them! 10/10!
My husband & I were very impressed by the Smile Center! We were both at different family practices and wanted to join a new one together as a growing family. From the assistants to the hygienist and the doctors, we felt like we were in …

Dr. Joel Butterworth and his entire staff are wonderful! Just had some work done, fillings and a crown and you couldn’t feel a thing, he is so gentle. I recommend you visit the Fredericksburg Smile Center and have a cleaning done as well!
Thank You Dr. Butterworth and company for making me feel well taken cared of whenever I visit!
This dental office is such a friendly place! A friend recommended Dr. Butterworth to me two years ago and they’ve taken care of me ever since. The front desk staff is courteous and helpful and the doc is great. Employees are happy and it has good vibes!
I’ve been coming here with my whole family for the past 2-3 years. I usually schedule way in advance because I try to schedule myself and 4 of my kids on the same visit. Smile Center always comes through with great timing. Staff is really …
I’ve been going to the Smile Center for over a year and have nothing but great things to say. After not taking the best care of my teeth for a few years, I needed the works 😉 …
The dentist and dental hygienists seem great. They are cheerful and strive to make the experience great. However, the reception staff never calls back with updates when they say they will. Not receiving updates is especially frustrating …
Imagine your crown breaking at 8 AM on a Friday – and you are thinking it will be several days before you can get it fixed. That’s “normal”, right? Well, not at Smile Center. I called hoping to get an appointment the next week and they saw …
Ambience of the office provides a calm feeling when you know you’re getting your teeth pulled out!!!! Nothing better than reassurance of staff and Drs. that everything will be ok! I HATE the dentist because I have the worse anxiety!! But …
So I have got to say hands down the best dental office I have every been to. I went last month for a cleaning, which was amazing. Today I got a wisdom tooth taken out. I kid you not I was in and out within 30 mins. The staff made sure I …
Great experience every time I go in. Front desk staff are super helpful and kind. And the hygienists, assistants, and dentists are all so nice. They explain every step of what they are doing, to make you feel extra comfortable with their process.
