About the Practice

Founded in 2001, Dr. James Vogler has grown A Smile By Design on a foundation of compassionate care, exceptional hospitality, and comprehensive dentistry delivered with the utmost comfort.

Dansville, NY is the kind of place where people still wave at four-way stops and a good word carries farther than any billboard. A Smile By Design has been part of this community long enough to earn that word. The practice has grown through genuine relationships, trust, and a team that knows faces—not account numbers.

A Smile By Design is built with the future in mind. With clear succession planning already established, the practice is designed to support continuity, stability, and growth—for our team today and for the doctors who will help shape its future.
