It has been such a wonderful and stress free experience with Dr. Dhaliwal and the rest of the San Ramon Smiles team. I have researched for a year now on where to get porcelain veneers and in September, I chose San Ramon Smiles. I'm so glad I did. Dr. D went over the whole process with me and the offices uses very modern tech, which is SO nice. I started the process with a consult on 9/18 and today was my final bite check with my new veneers, so it was a very quick process in 4 visits, 2 being the temporary veneers procedure and the final veneer placement. The team was so accommodating and offered a blanket and neck pillow during the procedures. I was even able to listen to music on my headphones. Dr. D and the staff were always quick to check on my comfort levels and if I needed a break. They were able to answer any and all my questions as well as calm any fears I had. Dr. D even takes before and after photos as well as models of your teeth from before and after. I'm a big visual learner, so this for me was a big plus! I live about 30-40 minutes away from the office but because of their service and transparency of the process, I'm considering making them my "home" dentist. Thank you, San Ramon Smiles team! I feel so confident to smile again :) read more

I've been going to San Ramon Smiles for a couple of years now and they're the sweetest, most patient team. Dr. Dhaliwal is friendly, always takes the time to explain my options, and uses state-of-the-art equipment. They've kept me on track with my dental health and even caught small issues before they became bigger problems. I always get a bit stressed with the dentist, but the staff helps make it an enjoyable experience. I always feel comfortable and well cared for here -- highly recommend. read more

Dr Guri is good to talk to, but, somehow his team always puts me on procedures that are not covered by my insurance and they are NOT transparent about it before starting procedures, until its time for me to pay. For example, they can do 6 month cleaning which is free, but they have time and again scheduled appointments every 3 months and send a bill later. Another example is, instead of doing free cleaning that my insurance provides, they end up doing periodontal cleaning even though I repeatedly tell them to only do free cleaning so I don't end up with a copay. read more

I had my routine dental cleaning at Dr. Dhaliwal's office this week. Sabrina is my long term hygienist. As always, she was very courteous, wanted to make sure that I am comfortable in the chair (asked if I want a warm neck rest/pillow, asked if I want the massager on and extended it until the entire duration of the cleaning), explained to me the procedure. Nothing left out from my questions to making me comfortable. The BEST hygienist! Oh, I forgot to tell you about his complementary lip balm created by him! I take a couple every time I go for my cleaning (one for my purse and one for at home). He has different flavors!! He really does cares for his patients!! I highly recommend Dr. Dhaliwal and his friendly staff. read more

The best. Simply amazing and caring. I would highly recommend this practice for anyone looking for a dentist.

Very professional, great staff, always feel comfortable when I go to Dr Dhaliwhal office.

My review of Dr. Guri Dhaliwal's office is overdue. I've been going here for 3 years and am happy with the staff, professionalism and service this office provides. I like that I can text message the office conveniently and can easily book or cancel appointments. The staff is quick at getting back to you and they accommodate any scheduling conflicts and also provide referrals. The office is very efficient and there's not a lot of downtime to wait and I'm in and out the door fairly quickly. Dr. Guri is very personable, down to earth and overall a knowledgeable, solid and honest dentist. He doesn't try selling you things and looks out for the best of your well being and overall dental care. I like that he talks through his procedures and gives you details of each step so you know exactly what to expect. Not only do I appreciate that but it's also a teaching moment as a patient. He doesn't just state what he will do next, he shares why is he performing the next step and explains what tool or gadget he has and why. I highly recommend this office and Dr. Guri. The staff and hygienists are fantastic and super nice. I love my experience and visits each time. read more

This Dentist leads with integrity and is family oriented. Several years ago, he helped my aging father-in-law get dental services in a setting that required special circumstances. Ever since that day, I had a gratitude towards the dentist and his practice. My dental services took so many twists and turns through pregnancy and self-inflicted neglect. Yet, Dr. Dhaliwal doesn't shame you. His advice is sound in how to take care of your teeth while implementing the latest technology. When my travels have taken me to other dentists, they often comment on how well my previous dental work/records were handled. Do not hesitate to go to this office. Online consultations and dental emergencies are handled swiftly and with care. Not just an amazing dentist but a outstanding human being who cares. Excellent job Dr. Dhaliwal! read more

Dr. Dhaliwal is the best! He would never do any treatment not needed. He is excellent at matching your tooth color should you need a white filling so he has an artistic eye. He is calm and gentle. Always checking in to make sure your comfortable. His staff are always friendly with warm smiles and hygienists are gentle. I've been going to him over 15 years! I won't go to anyone else even though I moved and it's a drive. I trust him. read more

Recently switched to this office because they are a preferred provider with my insurance and because they have good reviews. They did not disappoint! Everyone was so friendly and made me feel like I've been coming there for years! I also got a great cleaning and they were super thorough with pictures and xrays. Very pleased with my first visit and I will definitely be a regular going forward. read more

After a root canal, Dr Dhaliwal did great work preparing and placing the crown; I have bruxism, grind my teeth, and his work addressed the damage done to my teeth. He took the time to check on how my temporary was performing (it was great) as well as check in to see if the crown was good (ditto). I appreciated the care as well as the concern expressed by Dr Dhaliwal and his staff; a very professional team with a caring touch. read more

I'm so glad my friend recommended Dr Dhaliwal and his office. My experience was unparalleled. I have never felt so comfortable at a dentist visit. Cathy is absolutely amazing.. she took her time to talk to me and walk me through a care plan. She is extremely patient and superb at her job. Dr Dhaliwal also came and talked to me and explained everything very nicely. I didnt feel pushed or forced and overall had a fantastic experience. Thanks to everyone at the office starting from Erica, Cathy and Dr Dhaliwal for taking good care of me and our family. read more

From the moment you walk in the front door Dr. Dhaliwal and his staff go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable, and provide the best experience possible. He truly cares about his patients, and his work is amazing. It is a rare combination to find a dentist that is kind, honest, and provides FIVE STAR quality work. Despite the fact that I can be somewhat of a difficult patient, Dr. Dhaliwal has been incredibly supportive in helping me achieve the beautiful smile I've always wanted. I would highly recommend Dr. Dhaliwal and his staff!!! read more

I thought the day would never come. I was a brace-face teenager, and after years of great care, it was time to finally leave my pediatric dentist. I jumped around dentists for a couple years and I wasn't really happy with the service I was getting. Then, I started seeing Dr. Dhaliwal, who just happened to be a neighbor of mine, and I knew my search was over. Dr. Dhaliwal and his staff epitomize professionalism and customer service. When you see them, you quickly get the impression that they all truly care about your health, as they try to make a personal connection with you the person -- not just you the patient. Cathy, Dr. Dhaliwal's hygienist, especially is a pleasure to talk to. I know a lot of people dread going to the dentist, but with Dr. Dhaliwal taking care of you, going to the dentist doesn't have to be such a burdened experience anymore. In fact, it can actually be quite enjoyable! read more

I love this office: - latest technology - they always listen and explain - they care for patients like their own family read more

Horrible experience .. my younger one had an appointment in January for a partially broken teeth on an urgent basis before they were due for cleaning appointment scheduled in feb. The doc just pushes my daughter saying that is normal and got us out the door in 5 minutes. not sure if that was the right course of action for the tooth. could have just pulled out the wiggling remaining piece of tooth. And now when we had cleaning appointment for both my kids and called to confirm the time of appointment to my surprise they tell me they cancelled the appointment and billed the other one as the cleaning appointment without doing any work .. Amazing lazy bunch of staff with low ethics. And top of that they are not willing us to accommodate us in a week or two but gave us appointment couple of months out. in april. right they are that busy.. Guess playing some other insurance game. read more

Moved out of state and of course immediately had a dental issue. Staff were super kind and got me seen immediately. Dr Dhaliwal is very personable. Great practice and hope to have a long relationship with them. read more

Dr Dhaliwal is a great dentist. I started going to him 4 years ago when I first moved here. He's very professional and the staff are great. The hygienists are all very warm and friendly, the facility is state of the art and I'd recommend him to anyone looking for a dentist in the area. read more

Highly recommend Dr. Dhaliwal's office. Everyone here is so friendly and welcoming. I usually do not like the dentist and I usually dread it, but I felt more than comfortable here! My dental hygienist walked me through everything and was so caring and patient. Everyone who works here seems passionate about their job and highly competent in what they do. I honestly wouldn't choose another dentist office after coming here! read more

I have been going to Dr. Dhaliwal for 15 + yrs now and I think the service just keeps getting better! My wife, daughter and several friends also are patients. Whether it is a routine cleaning or a special need, like a chipped tooth on a business trip and have an emergency they always are accommodating and go out of their way to give the best care. I like the technology they use from emails to texts for appointments and the small camera for taking pictures of my teeth. Dr. Dhaliwal, Charles, Cathy and Jeannine always make me feel like a valued patient! Thanks team for the on going care... You've got my vote for the best! Rob W. Danville, Ca. read more

I called Dr. Dhaliwal's office when I had a recurring issue with a previous dental procedure done with another dentist. I was happy that they accommodated me in their schedule the very same day I called. Dr. Dhaliwal and the entire staff are very personable and warm. I immediately felt at ease. Even though it turned out his office did not perform the procedure I needed, he referred me to a specialist and even put in a word with the specialist that allowed me to go in and have my procedure done the very next day. I highly appreciate that Dr. Dhaliwal put in so much effort to help me out. I am looking forward to having his office perform all routine dental work for me in the future. read more

Great experience all around. The staff are friendly and Dr. Dhaliwal is great to talk too and very professional. Three fillings took barely an hour from start to finish. read more

Being a Paradise fire Evacuee I don't know when or how the smoke-toxins are changing my body. My teeth became brittle and with a fractured tooth this weekend, I needed to find a new dentist that will accept me quickly. The whole office personnel were and are very helpful in getting me in quickly and resolving the pain by extracting the bad tooth. All in 12 hours is super appreciated. 5 stars, Im on the continued road of fixing my health. Great care and highly reasonable. read more

Crown replacement in just under 2 hours. Dr. Dhaliwal continues to be the best choice in dentistry I could have made. I had a root problem that he detected. Today, I went in for the repair. He had to remove the crown to access the root. Then, I thought I would have to wait a couple of weeks for the impressions to make the crown.....blah, blah, blah. Well, to my surprise, Dr.D has an in-house machine to make a crown. So in less than 30 minutes after my procedure, a new crown was in place. It is great to have a dentist and hygienist who care about your teeth. They take the patient's best interest and highest standard of care to provide top notch dental services. His office is a stone throw from Bishop Ranch with easy and convenient parking. The receptionist, Erica, is awesome at finding pockets in their schedule to get you seen. Obviously 5 stars with an additional two thumbs up. Thanks Dr. D and staff!!! read more

Words aren't enough to express how wonderful my experience was with Dr. Guri S. Dhaliwal & his staff. They went above and beyond to fit me in before my unexpected Chemo treatments, were extremely gentle, compassionate, and very thorough. I've always struggled with dental anxiety, but they go the extra mile to put you at ease, including massage chairs during your entire procedure. They also do in-house crowns on most teeth that only take 1-2 hrs. and the fit was far better than any crown I've had in the past. The follow up call was very appreciated and I look forward to bringing the rest of my family to this office for all of their dental care. A+ all the way around!! read more

Great dentist, wonderful staff, I don't generally like dentist but these guys r great

I've been going here since I was in high school (I'm now in the working world) and I love coming here. The staff is so accommodating to your preferences, friendly and do a great job on your teeth. They make sure your concerns are heard and won't make you spend hundreds of dollars if they don't think it's absolutely necessary. That's the ultimate plus! read more

Dr. Dhaliwal and his staff are wonderful. He is instantly likable and has a very light touch. In fact, during procedures, he continuously asks if you're okay before proceeding. I think he's the best dentist I've ever had. Cathy, the hygienist, is amazing as well. She, too, has a light touch, and a nice way of convincing you to take better care of your teeth. She even turned my husband into taking better care of his teeth without being heavy-handed. The office is comfortable, featuring a vibrating pad in each chair and the option for a warm neck pillow. They keep up to date on all the technology to enhance the quality of your experience and your care. read more

This practice tries to up-sell you on everything. When I sat in the chair, I was asked to rate my smile from 1 to 10. Of course, no one says "10". That's when the selling begins. I knew I was way overdue for a dental checkup but I was quite shocked when I was told I had 5 cavities, needed Invisalign, special expensive toothpaste (but I should by the more expensive 3-step package) and an invasive periodontal below-the-gum line cleaning. As it turned out, upon further questioning, I was told that some of the fillings would be "preventative" to prevent some of the decay from becoming a cavities. I asked, "Is there is a chance that the decay would not progress into a cavity if I brushed and flossed diligently?" The answer was, "yes." So why would he drill into my teeth if, with proper care, they may never develop cavities?? I would never go back! UPDATE - It is over three years later and I have been to two different dentists as I have moved. Neither dentist suggested doing any of the extensive work that Dr. Dhaliwal claimed that I needed. Also note, that about a day after I posted my original review, it had been listed under "not recommended." I assume the dentist had everyone he knows flag it. Let's see if the same thing happens with this update. read more

I started coming to Dr Dhaliwal based upon a recommendation from a friend after a couple bad experiences at my former dental office. Melissa (reception) is very friendly as are all the assistants. Dr Dhaliwal was thorough in his explanations of procedures and personally followed up after my visits. Bonus for same day crowns! read more

Dr. Dhaliwal is a terrific dentist with state of the art equipment. He is very kind and gentle and his hygenist is actually the best hygentis I have ever encountered - very detailed. His prices are a little higher than some, but I guess you get what you pay for. The only negative is that I felt he was trying to upsell me on procedures I really didn't need. read more

I am a very biased customer--I love the staff--even with the minor personnel change, it seems that Dr. Dhaliwal attracts excellence. Will strongly recommend the entire staff any time! read more

I've been going here for over five years. Simply the best. I used to work nearby but now live in San Francisco and still drive out to see him. Clean, friendly, and they use technology to assist you. I'll never leave as long as I'm in the bay area. read more

I got reply from Dr. Guri and hmm instead of taking responsibility he talks about my Dentist not being there and his replacement not being there. I don't dislike you i did not get a chance to dislike you. Instead of educating your initial point of contact who is representing you on the phone your office assistant you are pointing out others dentist what he did or not do. YOu completely forgot that your assistant told me i could be seen in two hours then told me to take a hike. Please look at my complaint and then talk if not then please don't waste my time. YOu wrote..."It's unfortunate that you have such a strong dislike of me and my office without ever stepping foot inside it's doors. I assure you we treat each patient with the utmost respect and professionalism. I take feedback from all sources very seriously and work to improve daily. I wish you would have given me your feedback last year when the incident occurred so we could have made amends at that time." How are you being professional when you give someone an appointment and then take the appointment back when you have learned who the previous dentist was?? And yes you would not have my w-rays or records because i was coming in as an emergency patient...and also it was this past July 2011 and if i did not contact you then i am contacting you now aren't I?? you can take care of this by educating your staff instead of pointing out what the other dentist do or not do. Please do not post stupid replys if you will not address the issue at hand. read more

This honestly the best office I have ever been to... Very clean the team was very nice and very understanding about my goals and need for m mouth. Dr dhaliwal is the best dentist I have ever gone to and made me feel so comfortable I no longer afraid of going to the dentist and would recommend all my friends and family to him!!! read more

The office was clean and easy to find. They had the neatest technology! Instant X-Rays right on the screen in front of me. They scanned my mouth to make a 3D rendering of my teeth. It is very impressive!! Cathy performed my cleaning. She was great! She was so gentle I almost fell asleep! I am making this my primary dentist from now on. read more

I went to the Dentistry from the Heart event today, where Dr. Dhaliwal and his staff performed free dental services (cleaning, filling, or extraction). I had been to another Dentistry from the Heart event two months ago in hopes to get my wisdom tooth extracted, but because I came too late (6am), I waited all day without even getting to see the dentist. Today I came extra early and was one of the first people in line. However, the oral surgeon looked at my x-ray and a lady staff member told me that the oral surgeon did not have the proper equipment to extract my wisdom tooth (fully impacted) and that I'd have to see a specialist. Dejected, I left the office but came back less than 5 minutes later after I'd decided that I wanted to ask if I could get a filling done so that the 5.5 hour wait wasn't a complete waste of time. The same lady told me that because there were other people waiting, I'd have to go back to the end of the line and get a new number, which basically meant I'd wait all day and probably still not see the dentist. I was devastated but decided I should still try that. Then an awesome staff member named Charles saw what happened and he told me that he would try to fit me in, and I got to see Dr. Dhaliwal. Dr. Dhaliwal is hands down the best dentist that I've ever met. He was so nice and just so incredibly accommodating. I told him that I thought I had a cavity in one of my molars, which he checked and didn't see any cavities. I'm sure any dentist would have just blown me off at that point but not Dr. Dhaliwal. He offered to do an x-ray just to make sure that there wasn't a cavity between the teeth. Apparently the little crevice I felt on that molar was nothing because Dr. Dhaliwal told me that my teeth were very healthy and sans cavities. I thought, "Okay there really is no other procedure I could ask for besides the cleaning, which I'm sure he won't offer nor will I ask for" and I was prepared to leave when he offered to clean my teeth so that my time wasn't a total waste. I was just so floored by how nice he was. He didn't even hand me over to a hygienist to do the cleaning -- he did it himself. Normally when I get my teeth cleaned, it's a very taxing process with me usually ending up in tears. Today's teeth cleaning was so gentle -- Dr. Dhaliwal is amazing! Even though I know absolutely nothing about dentistry, I could tell that all the equipment and tools he used were top of the line, even the fancy chair (it was so comfortable!). There were some times when I felt a very slight discomfort during the cleaning, and Dr. Dhaliwal would always ask me if I was okay. So even though today was another day that I didn't get my wisdom tooth out, I was still incredibly grateful and satisfied when leaving the office. Seriously, if you're in the area, I highly recommend Dr. Dhaliwal. He's an amazing dentist and an incredibly nice man. Lastly, he answered all my questions perfectly and without having a condescending tone like most doctors do. I would love to be one of his regular patients if I lived closer to his office. read more

I was very happy with the care provided. Both Cathy and Dr. Dhaliwal were very helpful, explaining all the steps and made me very comfortable! read more

I've had a few dentists over the years after finding Dr. Dhaliwal I stayed put. I'm not a big fan of going to the dentist and who is. He's extremely skilled and truly cares about the patient. He constantly checks to make sure you are comfortable. Kathy is amazing and also truly cares about her patients health. She takes the time to make sure you leave with the perfect cleaning. They may not be the cheapest but you get what you pay for and I've had cheap dentistry, it costs more in the end. I've been a client for about 13 years now. read more

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Dhaliwal and team. Dr. Dhaliwal is adept at reading body language in ensuring that the patient isn't tense or in some pain. The amenities, explanation of what's to be done, and overall environment helps me be at ease and not totally fearful of what's to come. read more
