About Montclair Smile Design
Weekend availability and quick text responses for cracked or broken teeth mark this Oakland dental office, now led by Dr. Sumeet Sandhu.
Montclair Smile Design is a general dental practice in Oakland that also offers Invisalign, traditional braces, clear aligners, TMJ treatment, and retainers. Reviews point to unusually quick response times, including same-day fixes for cracked teeth and weekend availability for urgent problems, along with a number of adult patients who mention feeling untroubled by sales pressure for extra cosmetic work. The practice underwent an ownership transition around 2023-2024, with Dr. Becker's retirement noted by longtime patients, and Dr. Sumeet Sandhu now part of the current team. Cost comes up often, with several reviewers appreciating upfront pricing discussions while others mention a new exam fee or a sense of being upsold.

I’ve seen Dr. Sandhu for a while now and I just wanted to express my gratitude for how well they treat us as patients. I had a few fillings done after my routine cleaning recently and had a really positive experience. Everyone is always friendly, professional and make me feel at ease throughout my appointments. Dr. Sandhu is very thorough and explains everything before getting started. The visits are smooth and I appreciated how attentive the team is to my comfort. I would definitely recommend this practice!
Good experience Had my wisdom’ teeth extracted on same day emergency appointment. Good for anxiety
Great experience! Family owned and best place to get all your work done while sedated. Had anxiety and they came up with a treatment plan and got every done in one day. I don’t have to worry about dental work for a while. Highly recommended for high anxiety folks. They take care of you!
Great service! If you have high anxiety or need cosmetic work such as veneers/crown or a 2nd opinion. They do sedation and same day treatment! Highly recommend
I came in to get a few veneers re-cemented and a light cleaning, and I’m glad I found this place. They didn’t try to upsell me or push unnecessary appointments. They asked me what I needed, got straight to the point, and got the job done right. If you’ve got veneers and you’re looking for a no-nonsense dental office that actually listens, I’d definitely recommend checking this place out. I’m satisfied with the service and how they handled everything.
