It was my first visit so it was a preliminary exam and the x-ray technicians were competent and patient with my mobility issues. Dr. Gupta referred me to an endodonist with a very clear and thorough explanation reflecting his professional knowledge. My complaint is with the clerical issue by sending me 7 messages asking me to fill out forms to guarantee my being seen if not done within 24 hours about which I called to question and was told it was an error. In between those messages I also was sent a message to say I had a different appt. which needed to be changed because the dental hygienist was not going to be there. I DID NOT have an appointment to have my teeth cleaned but was referred to have an evaluation for a toothache under the bridge. They apologized to say it was an error, again. The office could use a bigger sign as it was difficult to find. I had to make a u turn as I missed it the first time! read more

Dental hygienist/Teeth cleaning really good. But then the next time a dentist cleaned my teeth and it was a little off-putting and honestly the dental hygienist was better. I found another dentist/second opinion and switched to him since his price was $300 less for a crown. read more

This office is amazing. The staff and dentist and techs are all very knowledgeable and nice. I do not have a great history with Dentists so I am very picky and this group always puts me at ease. read more

My visits to Oakland Smile Dentistry are always great! Even when I have a crown procedure or just a cleaning. Today I went for a cleaning and my dental hygienist was wonderful! She told me what she was doing as I went through the cleaning process. She was professional, thorough, efficient and competent. Believe it or not I look forward to returning for my next cleaning! read more

Helen, my new Hygenist, was professional, focused in getting her job done. She actually took the time to thoroughly scrape, clean every tooth. She often kept reaching to her different dental pick set as needed for the right one --to be able to reach that special angle for tartar. She addressed my concerns. Then the boss took a look at my teeth for quality control and my specific needs and gave me an OK. I am happy. The front desk was great too. Thank you. read more

Dr Gupta is the kindest Dentist I have ever known! He always makes me feel heard and cared. I highly recommend him to everyone. read more

Most people dread going to the dentist but I thoroughly enjoy going to see Dr. Gupta and his team. Very smooth operation.

All staff are very friendly. Had great cleanings and a 15+ yr old crown repair that went well. Happy with results. Dentist is conservative in treatment, does not push to do unnecessary work. read more

My longtime Dentist retired and I have been looking for a new office for quite some time. I had my first appointment today and from start to finish it was a phenomenal experience! Not only did the staff listen and display expertise throughout the appointment, the general feel from everyone working in the office was that they are happy with their job and extremely kind providers. I have fairly extensive dental needs, and they handled them all with a very sound plan and clear next steps. So far, I'm very happy! read more

Called today January 29, 2026 11:40am explaining that I have anxiety and dental fear and I wanted to ask some questions about how this office accommodates these situations. The woman who picked up the phone sounded like I WAS BOTHERING HER. I picked up on her attitude and unwelcoming demeanor and politely told her that I would be calling another office due to this. She did call back and i again told her that she was very unwelcoming. read more

My hygenist was very gentle and explained every step along the way...i like this office gr8 service.

My experience with smile was remarkable. I was so impressed with actually having the dentist cleaning my teeth. I still can't believe it . Dr Jacobs was very impressionable. He did a beautiful job and I would like to thank him again, and hope that he would work with me again. read more

My teeth cleaning went well and painless lol, in and out in less then an hour lol just the way I like it

Absolutely had a great experience with Dr.Gupta! He is so understanding and patient. I have really sensitive teeth and he took his time with me. He explains things really well and tells you what he's doing thru the process. I will be making him my regular dentist going forward!! :) read more

First time going in today and from start to finish I felt very taken care of by everyone in the office! Everyone is so kind. My dental hygienist was super helpful and I really loved that her and the dentist were both extremely informative about the state of my teeth! The dentist took the time to explain all my concerns in detail and I left with not a single question unanswered. The office is clean and inviting, and I was in and out pretty fast. I'm excited to continue working with this office. read more

The staff here is friendly, professional and always works in a timely fashion. I would recommend them for your entire family.

Going to Miss This Place... I'm relocating back to Los Angeles and one thing I'm surely miss is Oakland Smile Dentistry. I've been coming here for over two years now and every visit and experience I have had have been top notch! Dr. Gupta and Dr. Merhawi are professional, friendly and have a great sense of humor. I had to get a few crowns done and each experience was great. They take their time and explain the procedure, expectations and any homework I may have. Dr. Gupta is such a perfectionist that he sent a crown back and went with another vendor (at no extra charge to me) to ensure they met his very high standards. I'm truly appreciative of the entire team and will truly miss coming to this gem in Oakland. read more

I have always had a fear of going to the dentist, my pressure goes up even before I get there. My visit to Smile Dentistry was not what I expected. There was not a long wait, everyone was pleasant. My consultation was quick and I was out in less than 40 minutes. I was referred to a prosthodontist. read more

Dr Gupta and staff are the best. With Dr Gupta I never feel rushed. He takes time to answer all my countless questions and concern. He has restocked his schedule several times for me when the day before my knee replacement surgery he saw my to repair a fractured tooth. If Dr Gupta did not change his schedule to see me I would have had to wait over 4 months to get my tooth fix as post knee surgery they advise no dental surgery post 4-6 months after knee surgery. Dr Gupta is also well trained on all the latest technological options and procedures. His staff is very warm and friendly which makes time in the chair pass by quickly. read more

Great dental care, fun but professional staff. They're often busy, but worth it. Dr. Gupta is great with detailed explanations and asking if everything is sufficiently clarified. Also have had a good experience being referred out for wisdom teeth removal from them. Great communication from staff and they go the extra mile! Amazing experiences! read more

At long last I've found a dentist I'm happy to stick with! Staff are uniformly friendly and professional, quality of care is excellent, and your time is respected. I've rarely had to wait more than a few minutes for my appointment. read more

Kind and caring professionals. Oakland Smile always takes the time to answer my questions and leave me with a clean smile!

Staff were very thorough providing explanations of the work they were doing, both in terms of treatment and finances. I love the fact that Dr. Gupta introduced himself, complimented my previous dental work and said if it's not broke don't fix it yet. After 40 years with my previous dentist (Dr. Sweeney, RIP) I found my next 40 year dental team! Thank you ! read more

Nice staff, clean, quiet office. Good cleaning with no pain during or afterwards. I scheduled an appointment a couple days out because I had a concern. Thankfully turned out to be nothing. read more

Great dentist and hygienists! Everyone I have seen has been very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. I've been three times so far for cleanings and one filling. Also, their pricing is fair and they haven't tried to upsell me on other products or services. read more

From the moment i walked in, i wasn't greeted and really didn't feel welcomed at all. After I walked up to the counted and explained that I had an appointment, i was immediately told that i had a $30 "copay" anything extra would be out of pocket. When I asked what my insurance would cover, I was told "we see that you have Delta dental and while we except the fees from them, we do not except their 'table of allowance' If the doctor decides to do another x-ray then you would have to pay an extra $40" Which is entirely different information than what was told to me over the phone. I had already spent $30 on an Uber just to get to my dentist appointment. I was stuck at this point. Otherwise I wouldn't have given these people anymore of my time. Also, this dental office is 'in network' with my insurance company. Anyway, the doctor spent maybe 10 minutes looking at the area that was causing me pain and said I need a root canal. He said he would give me a referral and after my root canal is done, I can come back to get a crown put on. Upon check out, i was given the referral to see a specialist and a prescription for some antibiotics. The receptionist said "after your root canal, your insurance will be maxed out so you'll have to pay full price for the crown when you come back" then hands me a paper with an estimate of $1221.00 That's not how insurance works. There isn't just a set amount. There are different coverage limits for different procedures. I felt like they were just lying to get money out of me. Monies in which I dont have. I then called Delta dental and explained my experience and what I had to pay. The sweet lady i spoke to confirmed that my co-pay was actually less. Per contract "the dental office is not allowed to charge an amount that is more or less than what's written in their contract agreement". And that I might have just paid full price for an x-ray. So again, I believe this dental office, Oakland Smiles Dentistry, lied to me and had me just to get extra money. What a bunch of crooks!! read more

Ive been going here for about a year and a half now and ive had great experiences every time. Today I had a cleaning with Helen and she was so sweet and gentle with the cleaning. The whole experience was pretty quick and efficient as well. read more

I'm a new patient and was in for a general checkup and cleaning. I was impressed by the modern x ray and equipment that was used. The cleaning was quick and efficient.Helen the hygienist was very gentle and carrying. Next visit i asked for Helen to do my cleaning. After the cleaning I spoke to the dentist and she looked over my x-rays and looked at my teeth. She gave me suggestions on what to do to keep my SMILE. The paperwork for new patients was filled on line and details of my appointment was done by text. The appointment was sent by text and went to my calendar. The wait to see the hygienist and doctor was minimal. I highly suggest this dentistry. read more

Truly a gem in Oakland. I hadn't been to the dentist in over 12 years. When I reached out the application for the appointment asked me about my fear level. I was honest and when I went in they remembered and treated me so kindly. All of the shame and guilt left my body and in its place I gained confidence and trust. I am so grateful I found Smile dentistry. I've been several times since and they took care of all of my teeth as well as my feelings. I am now on my way to getting a partial to replace missing teeth and my teeth and mind feel stronger than ever. read more

I've been seeing Oakland Smile Dentistry for less than a year, and I couldn't be happier with my results! Since I started coming here, my teeth have totally transformed. I just went in for a cleaning today, and everything looked fantastic. The staff is always welcoming, and Dr. Gupta takes the time to make sure my dental health is on track. I'm so grateful I found this dentist! read more

Dr. Gupta and his staff have been wonderful to both my wife and me. We always walk in to pleasant greetings, and the practice has a very small-town, close-knit community feel. Having had a history of dental care anxiety, I was pleased to see others report they felt comfortable with Dr. Gupta and his team (shouts out to Merhawi and Kaylin!). My experience paralleled theirs. When I needed some additional work that technically should have fallen under the responsibility of another dentist, Dr. Gupta insisted that he do the work for free. This is emblematic of the care we have received there. The work has been high quality. read more

Oakland Smile Dentistry is great, with superb service. Dr. Gupta is very thorough, professional, and caring.

Hygienist Helen and Dr.Gupta are excellent with taking their time with patients. Dr.Gupta and Helen gave thorough explanation on how to care for my teeth. This was my first time here, will see what the future holds. The parking is not so good but overall experience was so far so good read more
