Bakersfield Children's Dentistry and Orthodontics

My son has been here twice once when he was 1 yr old & when he was 3 yrs old. His first visit was okay he wasn't very happy of them checking his teeth staff tried their best to keep him calm though. June 2024 he had his over due check up my son was a little more excited to be at the dentist he did great while they took X-rays the assistant was very patient with him while the dentist was examining his teeth my son became a little unhappy but the dentist & assistant kept him calm & distracted long enough for them to finish the exam I would definitely recommend this Dentist office & my son is Cavities free 😁❤️

Love this place so much. .changed my kids from smile land .. I get to be with my children the whole entire time. Dr Alisa is incredible🤗

Pros: they let the parent stay with the child. If your kid isn’t too fussy, they’ll work to soothe them. Cons: they jump straight to fillings even for the tiniest cavities instead of offering sealant. They don’t care about kids who are very afraid and would rather send them to an outside company to put them under anesthesia for even the tiniest cavities that don’t require it. We were with them for 4 years until my kid had a tiny cavity and the rude, inexperienced hygienist treated both of us like we were wasting her time because she didn’t care to even try with my scared child. Horrible place if your kid isn’t perfectly calm.

We absolutely loved this place!! From scheduling an appointment, the front desk to the ladies in the back. I loved how gentle and patient they were with my kids, and reassured me and my kids they were being well taken care of. Dr. Shaker was great! The manager Violet and receptionist were very welcoming. I was in and out in 45 minutes with 3 kids!! I will 💯 reccomend this place to all of my family and friends!!

Excellent experience from start to finish, EVERY TIME! I’ve been using this office for years & my 3 kids love it here! Extremely friendly, personable receptionists, honest dentists, clean facility…and yes, parents/caregivers are allowed to stay WITH their child and no restraints used or needed with the care provided. Best children’s dental experience in town, hands down.
