My daughter and I had a great experience at Bella Smile. They looked at my daughter and made a very clear plan for her. The philosophy at Bella Smile is to not remove any teeth, so they put in an expander to make sure there would be space for her new teeth to come in. In phase one, after the expander, my daughter chose Invisalign, which was a wonderful process, and her teeth went from crazy scraggle tooth to perfection. She ended up having to do a phase two because not all of her teeth had fallen out yet, but once she had lost all her teeth she got her braces on and within the year she was done and now has a gorgeous smile. She is so proud of her teeth and thanks me all the time for her beautiful teeth. Thank you Dr. Bella for my daughter's beautiful smile!
I recently completed my orthodontic treatment at Bella Smile and had a great experience. Dr. Bella Shen was my primary orthodontist and guided my overall treatment. She was always professional, knowledgeable, and attentive, and I truly appreciated her expertise and care throughout the process. Dr. Stephen Kasper handled many of my follow-up visits and was always incredibly kind, patient, professional, and thorough. He took the time to answer my questions and made me feel comfortable at every appointment. A special thank you to Edna, one of the most experienced dental assistants on the team. She assisted me during almost every visit and was always incredibly helpful, patient, and knowledgeable. She answered many of my questions throughout my treatment and always made me feel well taken care of. I’m very happy with my results and truly appreciate the care I received from Dr. Bella Shen, Dr. Kasper, Edna, and the entire Bella Smile team. Highly recommended! Kate Li
I love Bella Smile! They are so warm, personal and efficient all at once. They have all the state of the art technology and go the extra length to provide a very smooth experience. I love that they do a small wire behind your teeth after Invisalign or braces to prevent shifting/backtracking! Both my daughter and I, who struggle to remember to wear our retainers, have preserved our beautiful new smiles despite our forgetfulness. It’s such a great way to protect your investment.
We had an incredible experience with Bella Smile throughout my daughter’s entire braces journey! The team is incredibly friendly, professional, and wonderfully patient. Even during the phases where my daughter wasn't wearing her rubber bands as consistently as she was supposed to, they handled it with encouragement and kindness rather than frustration. On top of their exceptional care, their pricing is very reasonable for San Francisco. Most importantly, her braces are off, her teeth are perfectly straight, and she absolutely loves showing off her open-mouth smile now. I couldn't ask for a better orthodontic team—highly recommended!
I didn't have braces growing up so my teeth were not very straight. When I finally decided I needed to see an orthodontist to straighten my teeth, I went to Bella Smile since they were close by and highly rated for Invisalign. The staff from the front desk to the assistants were all super nice throughout my treatment. My first appointment was fast and the iTero scanner they used to scan my teeth was cool because I was able to see my teeth in 3D with a simulation of what my teeth would look like after treatment and the different issues I needed to correct. Dr. Bella and Dr. Mahood were confident that I could do it all with Invisalign even when other doctors I had consulted didn't think it was possible especially with my tooth that was tilted in significantly and the other Ortho issues I had. Every follow up appointment was great and the staff always said hi to me by name. Shout out to Candace, Matthew and Rosalee for being amazing every visit. When I finished my treatment, I was super excited with my smile. Getting to ring the gong and receiving a bottle of champagne was a great way to cap off my Invisalign journey with the office. Thank you to the whole team for being amazing orthodontists and giving me my new smile!
