I’m Kendra – the vision & vibe behind Smile BAR

Smile BAR was built around one simple idea: how you feel matters just as much as the care you receive.

When you walk through our doors, the goal is simple – the experience leaves our guests feeling refreshed, relaxed & completely taken care of.

Welcome to a space where health care meets self care

OK! Let’s start with the name…

Hello!

Kendra Knebel

RDH & Owner

Smile BAR.

Not what you’d expect for a dental space… & that’s entirely the point.

Smiling is the universal language of connection, confidence, & energy. Every service here is designed to leave you with exactly that.

Next up: lets talk about “the BAR”

That’s where the experience comes in!

Think about your favourite dinner reservation… the anticipation, the ambiance, the way everything feels elevated & intentional.

Now compare that to how most people feel about a dental appointment… exactly.

SO we reimagined it!

Time to serve up the experience YOU actually want.


I grew up in dentistry – my dad a dentist, my mom a dental assistant – & while the environment always felt familiar to me, I saw firsthand how differently others experienced it.

The anxiety, the hesitation, the disconnect.

It stayed with me, & it led to one question: What can I do about this?

Smile BAR is that answer.

This is where oral health becomes self-care. Where your appointment feels less like a task and more like time carved out for yourself. Elevated, intentional, & entirely centred around you.

Every detail – what you see, smell, hear, & feel – has been thoughtfully curated to remove “dental” energy & replace it with something softer, elevated, & more refined.

Where is all started:

What makes us Different.

Here, we’re not just delivering care — we’re serving you the experience you want.

From private, custom suites to a curated comfort menu, everything is designed to be personalized to your mood, your preferences, your day. Whether you’re looking to unwind, reset, or recharge, we’ve got you.

And yes… we’ve layered in a few extra touches.

Ease into a heated, zero-gravity massage. Reset at the oxygen bar. Drop in after a workout or before your evening plans and take a moment to yourself.

This is prevention-first care, delivered in a way that feels effortless, elevated, and genuinely enjoyable.

Top-shelf service. Top-shelf care. Top-shelf smiles.

This is your space to pause, recharge, and leave feeling even better than when you arrived.

A place you’ll actually look forward to visiting.

Come hang out –  we’ll take it from here.

I can’t wait to meet you at the bar.
