Smyle Dental Bakersfield provides orthodontic care in Bakersfield, California for children and adults.
Dr. David Zaghi leads the practice, which operates from two locations in the area. The office focuses on modern aligner therapy and traditional orthodontic services tailored to each patient's needs. The practice offers Invisalign treatment for patients seeking a less visible alternative to conventional braces. Digital impression technology using iTero or equivalent intraoral scanners allows for precise treatment planning without traditional molds.

Staff members file insurance claims on behalf of patients for reimbursement processing. Payment plans are available for out-of-pocket treatment costs, and the office accepts CareCredit financing for those who qualify. These options support access to care for patients managing orthodontic expenses over time. Smyle Dental Bakersfield serves the greater Bakersfield area. Treatment recommendations depend on individual clinical examination and diagnostic records.

Staff was very kind and helpful. I was able to be put on the schedule the same day at very last minute. Overall very friendly and accommodating place.
Dr Zaghi is truly one of the best. I can’t thank him enough for his amazing, gentle, and thorough work. He took his time to explain everything to me and eased my anxiety. Thank you so much!!!!!!!
This dental office canceled on me three times. When I asked why no one had called, The receptionist was very condescending stating that they do their part to call and leave a voicemail. I specifically insured her that I never received a voicemail And she was very snarky stating that she’s sure she left a voicemail And stated that it was not her fault I did not check my phone. I explained to her once more that I did check my phone and did not receive a voicemail. She then moved onto us if I wanted to reschedule for tomorrow. I explained to her that on three separate occasions, I have been altering my work schedule And tomorrow doesn’t work. This office is very unprofessional. Please do not come here.
My whole family has switched to Smyle Dental and we are really glad we did. It has been a great experience all the way from making an appointment, to seeing the providers and the care received. The office is very comfortable and all equipment appears to be up to date. All of the providers are great to work with and provided detailed insight on how to optimize our dental health. They can provide services above and beyond the basics if you need them, such as cosmetic and Invisalign. I highly recommend them for patients of any age.
i’ve been looking for a dentist for about a year now and i’m so grateful i bumped into this one. the girls are so extremely kind and patient. i truly felt so comfortable and they made my issues seem like nothing. all the stress was gone after my first appointment.
