Meet Charlie - Our Loyal Emotional Support Pup

Breed: King Charles Cavalier Spaniel
DOB: December 4th, 2021

Charlie officially joined The Smile Architects team in January 2025. Charlie began his professional journey at just 8 months old by shadowing his mom, Terry. From the beginning, it was clear he was born to bring peace, comfort, and smiles to everyone he meets.

As a trained Emotional Support Dog, Charlie helps:
 Ease dental anxiety and create a calming environment
 Offer emotional connection through gentle cuddles and presence
 Provide comforting companionship during treatments
 Reduce stress and promote relaxation for patients and staff alike

Charlie truly has a heart for healing — and a personality that brings warmth to every corner of the office.

When he’s off duty, Charlie loves:
 Chasing tennis balls
 Playing with his brother Jimmy
 Being hand-fed (treats are the way to his heart)
