About Smiles by Candy
At Smiles by Candy, dental hygiene is elevated into an experience of precision, calm, and intentional care. Founded by Candace McCracken, RDHAP, this boutique dental hygiene practice was created for those who value more than just a routine cleaning. Here, care is unhurried, personalized, and rooted in a deeper understanding of long-term oral health. Set within the serene environment of The Refinery in Redding, California, the space reflects a quiet luxury—where soft light, thoughtful design, and a sense of ease replace the clinical rush often associated with dentistry. This is not a volume-based practice. It is a sanctuary for those seeking exceptional care.
A Different Standard of Care
Smiles by Candy is a fee-for-service dental hygiene practice, allowing for complete clinical independence and a higher standard of care. Each visit is thoughtfully designed to go beyond surface-level cleaning. The focus is on: • Biofilm management and inflammation reduction • Gum health and long-term stability • Gentle, thorough, and highly personalized treatment • Education that empowers, not overwhelms Every appointment is one-on-one, ensuring that you are seen, heard, and cared for without distraction or time pressure.
A Prevention-First Philosophy
True oral health is built over time. At Smiles by Candy, prevention is not rushed—it is cultivated. By addressing the underlying causes of gum disease and buildup, patients experience not only cleaner teeth, but healthier tissues, greater comfort, and lasting results. This philosophy is supported through advanced techniques and carefully curated home care protocols, designed to enhance your experience both in and out of the practice.
For the Patient Who Values Excellence
This practice was intentionally designed for a select type of patient: Those who value quality over quantity Those who appreciate a refined, calm environment Those who are ready to invest in their health Availability is limited by design to preserve the integrity of care.

This allows for continuity of care without compromise—delivered with the same level of attention, precision, and professionalism.
