I was experiencing teeth sensitivity and gum recession throughout my pregnancy and now into postpartum. I thought it was just hormonal changes so waited, but 14 weeks later still experienced sensitivity and recession. Bay Smile Dental got me in to be evaluated quickly and they were super thorough and gentle. Every time I go to the dentist apparently I need some kind of new filling or fix for a filling, or deep cleaning, you know the "drill", haha. Not here though, thorough x rays and no cavities. Pleasantly surprised. I also had my baby with me because my husband wouldn't get off work in time, he got held over by a little bit, Bay Smile offered to "watch" him while getting stuff done and came up with a safe plan to keep him away from the x rays. Thankfully my husband showed up in time to bring baby home. I was super appreciative of them working together with us for a solution anyway, and they were so nice everyone saying hi to baby! read more

When I moved to Newark, I selected this dental office purely out of convenience and proximity to my home. At my first appointment, I was told that I had numerous cavities. Despite having gone to my previous dentist in Emeryville three months prior with no cavities. This should've been the first red flag, but I got the fillings anyway. The front desk workers kept getting my information confused with my husbands. Very unorganized and chaotic. Near the end of the year, I got another cleaning and they recommend I get more fillings and tried to get me to do them the same day. When I said I wasn't interested one of the dentist kept saying it's good to get them done before the end of the year since your insurance covers it and as I was getting ready to leave, she mentioned and reminded me again to get those fillings filled before the end of the year for insurance. Fast forward to six months later, I selected a new dentist and did my X-rays and what not. No cavities that required fillings. One small cavity that needs to be monitored but not big enough for a filling. I'd be weary about their suggestions because it seems like they're trying to get money out of the patient and insurance companies. read more

I've been coming here for the last couple of years and appreciate this dental office. I had a lot of apprehension and anxiety surrounding dental visits but most of the staff understands this. Dr. Harika and Jo (Front desk) are great. Everything is always fully explained and a statement provided with what is to be done so there are no surprises. read more

I really appreciate Dr. Harika and her colleague. Even though I think my dental issues are mostly due to genetics, I'm so grateful for how flexible and supportive they've been. They pointed out that my shifting bite is probably contributing to my dental problems, and I don't think people realize how thoughtful the staff here is. I've cried and been on the verge of a breakdown, but everyone has been so patient and understanding. I especially appreciate the preventative care Dr. Harika has taken with me. It means a lot. read more

Absolutely stellar experience! The dental team was professional, thorough, and friendly. From the front desk Jo, dentists and the assistants. My teeth feel incredibly clean, and I appreciate the care that took throughout the process. Can't thank Dr. Ekta, she listened to all my concerns. Overall extremely satisfied with everything from start to finish. Definitely recommending to friends and family! The best of the best!! read more

I just found this dental office about 2 weeks ago. They are very friendly you understand what's going on. They will work with you even if your insurance maxes out. After all we only have 1000-1500 on most plans. I am very happy I choose this office. The dental assistant is very friendly and nice. They make you feel like instant family. I definitely recommend this office. Thank you read more

It was my first visit and i completely love this place. Everyone is very nice and professional. The Completely love this place! Everyone is very nice and professional. The dentist did exam and cleaning and when i asked if i need to change my two crowns, said no as they were still fine. The dentist didn't try just to make money, but was honest and really trying to help me. Totally recommend this place. read more

To start off the dentist herself is so sweet and I really liked her. Unfortunately I will never go back because of the oral surgeon and the head front desk lady. One, she's extremely rude and has zero customer service & makes very prejudice assumptions. She assumed I could not pay the $350 for a bone graft I did not need. She assumed I could not AFFORD it. I went in to have my lower left wisdom tooth extracted and I had been told for a couple years by 2 other dental offices I needed it done and was not able to do it because of my pregnancies. This oral surgeon, I forget his name was already 30 minutes late for my appointment which I was okay with, but he decided that I needed an additional tooth pulled. And when I refused and said it was fine, he said it wasn't fine. So I asked what's wrong with it and he could not give me ANY medically necessary reason for me to have it pulled other than "might as well". So when I refused and he walked out to the front desk lady, she comes in and says "We have to do a bone graft because he ALWAYS does it". Well if he does it because an patient absolutely needs it is one thing but to force someone because you just want the extra money is not okay with me. And to force this on me because I REFUSED to have my perfectly healthy tooth removed is not okay. When I walked out to the waiting room to wait for my ride, they assumed I was fine and could hear them talking about me still in the back. These people are frauds, scammers just trying to force people into doing whatever they say so they can get an extra payment. I have heard 2 other people with very very similar experiences here being forced to pay for stuff they shouldn't have or they did not NEED. A bone graft isn't a mandatory thing. Like I said I've been to 2 other offices and they never mentioned anything about doing this. I am extremely upset and disappointed in the lack of medical professionalism. read more

I've always been a bit hesistant to go to the dentist, having had bad experiences. Found my dentist on Zocdoc, and easily made an appointment at Bay Smile Dental - and it's been a wonderful experience, helpful and friendly staff. They always schedule an appointment, and have a confirmation system via text, which doubles as a reminder for you so you never miss an appointment. I started fixing my teeth here, and they have provided informative suggestions/plans. My dentist has a very pleasant manner, is kind and while working on my teeth, always kept checking in if I am ok - making it a positive experience. I came here before the pandemic, but also during - and they always had a clean, organized office, but since installed many HEPA filters and have the air going, and everyone wears masks so you really feel safe! That's a plus! Highly recommended A+! read more

Definitely a wonderful experience here at Bay Smile Dental. Upon entering, I already felt so welcomed; Evelyn greeted me with a smile on her face and even made small talk with me. The place is very modern, with a tablet used to fill out paperwork near the receptionist's table. When I was called, the dental assistant, Hilda, came in and she also made me feel very welcomed; we made small talk as well and also laughed like as if we are really good friends! After she took my xrays, she asked if i wanted to watch something on the tv to make me comfortable while she was polishing my teeth. I find it pretty awesome how the tv is right over your head so that while they are doing work on your teeth, you can watch a show with no problem! After about 10 minutes, the dentist came in. Dr. Harika was very friendly and extremely informative when it came to what was going on when it came to my teeth. After everything was said and done, she and Hilda proceeded with doing a cleaning on a my teeth. It didn't feel harsh as compared to other dentists where I got my cleaning done. Will definitely be coming back to them for my next appointment! This is definitely one of those dentists that you want to stay as a patient for a very long time! :) read more

See all

We have been coming here for 3 years now and never had a bad experience. They are great for the whole family. My daughter was so scared when she first started coming due to a bad experience with a dentist in Palmdale but with their patience and understanding she trusts and loves them. She has no problem getting her teeth cleaned or getting X-rays now. She actually looks forward to see Dr Jaspreet Harika and her staff read more

Unfortunately had a terrible first appointment. Dental assistant was obviously untrained; she kept pronouncing my name wrong even after multiple times of correcting her, she took more than 10 x-ray images of my teeth, she didn't know how to operate the chair (she rocked me back and forth several times), terrible placement of objects in my mouth as well as her hands (at one point her finger was up my nostril)..overall just very incompetent. Also met the other dentist briefly and she seemed very unprofessional as she was chewing gum while talking to me and observing my teeth. She didn't even show me the images of my teeth or go over what work would be done! Dental hygienist and receptionist were the only ones that showed good professionalism. Too bad I didn't have the chance to meet Dr. Harika; my experience may have been different. I actually scheduled to be back to have work done, but after thinking it over, I won't take my chances and will look for another clinic. read more

We regularly visit this office and enjoy their service. regularly get appointments , reminders and friendly staff. importantly no issues with billing. read more

I haven't been to a dentist in over 6 years. I've been reluctant to go since I don't have insurance. I was worried prices would be outrageous. This is not true at Bay Smile Dental. They offered a coupon for first time non-insured patients to get a cleaning. That got me in the door; and I am so glad it did. The facility is state of the art, with great new equipment, flat screen monitors to watch movies or educational films while you get worked on. The staff was very helpful, caring, and attentive. I have at least 5 cavities and gum disease and will need more follow up. At first this worried me, since I don't have insurance, but Dr. Harika totally worked with me. And I left there feeling completely informed regarding the state of my teeth/gums, relieved to have a short term and long term plan for treatment, and 100% satisfied with the deep discount I was given. I am so THANKFUL I found Dr. Harika and Bay Smile Dental. read more

I lost a tooth while skiing, had healthy teeth on either side of it. Asked for a consultation and got the wrong diagnosis to maximize her profit. She asked me to get root canals done on both of the healthy teeth and then get a bridge. Wrong diagnosis : 2 root canals + 1 bridge Thank god I got another opinion, the healthy teeth had to be grinded for a bridge. No root canals needed. Right diagnosis: 0 root canals + 1 bridge All about money, avoid at all costs. They follow up with emails and tonnes of phone calls from the dentist and her -husband- ]to remove negative reviews. *Reviews here are curated, beware! read more

I've always been scared to go to a dentist...but because of an unfortunate broken tooth I had no other choice to than to go to one ...Dr. Harika and her staff are awesome ...I felt very comfortable and they did not make me feel guilty for not going to a dentist on a regular basis ...Dr. Harika and her staff made me feel at ease. I will never go to any other dental place other than Bay Smile Dental...They are so warm and friendly along w/being very professional ... this place !! read more

I walked in to make an appointment. Evelyn, the receptionist, is the sweetest. She made conversion with me and got to know me a little bit while making my appointment. I went back the next week for my appointment and she remembered what we talked about (thumbs up)! I then met Heilda, dental assistant. She is very nice and made sure I was very comfortable. I love how she let me watch Criminal Minds during my check up ;) Thanks for being awesome! From my first visit, I can tell Dr. Harikas is very educated in her field. She was very detailed in what she did and what treatments I needed. This was my first time visiting a dentist in this area since I moved out here. I will be back! FIVE stars!! read more

I've been there twice now; once for X-rays and once for a cleaning and some treatment. The staff here is incredible they are all so welcoming and nice they really put you at ease. I haven't been to a dentist in a long time because dentists are what the boogie man checks his closet for, so as a result I have a good amount of work ahead of me. However I am getting more and more comfortable thanks to these fine people and look forward to having a healthy mouth. read more

Dr Harika and her staff run a very professional and competent clinic with latest technology. I had some gone for a cleaning appt and Dr Harika made a keen observation about me grinding my teeth at night , which I was not even aware of . She also noticed that my wisdom tooth were causing issues ( she recommended removing only one for now ) and her treatment made huge improvement in relieving the stress on my jaw ( which also improved my sleep ) Dr Harika also suggested we see another specialist for our son ( possible surgery ) as she felt a second opinion was prudent. She even discussed his case with the specialist and ultimately recommended no further treatment. Not many doctors are so passionate about looking deeper than what's obvious and truly caring about your patients. Bay smile team does not push treatments on patients but rather educates them to make right decisions . We cannot thank them enough and trust them implicitly . read more

Dr.Jaspreet here in Bay Smiile Dental is cool and concerned lady and gives serious attention towards patient with their dental problems .I was very happy with there response and other co workers are also very co operative here ..!! Good job guys ...!! read more

-Very professional. -Experts in dentistry. -Helpful and informative. -Answers all questions and concerns. -Extremely friendly staff. I would highly recommend this private practice to all my family and friends. They go beyond the general cleaning. They help you understand how you can take care of your teeth and health and how it can potentially affect you in the long run. Great overall environment. read more

Hilda is so awesome. She is an RDA and does assisting with the Drs. She is so happy go lucky, very outgoing and really enjoys her job. Not only that, she provides such awesome bedside manner that I had to make this review just for her. Also an A+ plus: she is extremely amazing with kids. My daughter asks to have her assist every single time we come in for services. She deserves to be aknowledged so that is why I am very enthusiastic to make it known. HILDA, YOU ROCK! read more

From the moment we stepped in, the staff and assistants are super kind and welcoming. It was my 3 year old sons first time (late I know) and my kids had sooo much fun. When in the history of ever do kids leave the dentist so happy. They rushed home and brushed their teeth because they got new brushes from the doctor. I loved my experience there and will definitely go back. Take your kids here, you won't be sorry. read more

I just moved from East Coast and wanted to have my regular dental cleaning. I found this dental clinic is within walking distance from my Airbnb and has good reviews so decided to give it a try. However just taking the x-ray took a long time. A dentist came in, took a look of my teeth, glanced my x-ray from a distance swiftly and asked if I've heard of root cleaning and wanted to do it right away. My teeth have always been very healthy growing up. When dentists can't find any issue every one of them suggested me to do deep cleaning, and this one is no exception. I have done it less than two years ago with my previous dentist who showed me my x-ray, explained to me why it's needed, and checked my out-of-pocket cost before I agreed to do it. In my last check he said my teeth remained perfectly healthy, so even if there's some buildup I do not believe another deep cleaning is warranted imminently. I declined the offer, reiterating I was there for only regular cleaning and lay down. Then the doctor said "OK let's begin your debridement." Wait a minute! I know what debridement is because once I was given this without being informed until I got a bill! I got up immediately, again saying I only want a regular cleaning. So the regular cleaning finally began. It didn't take long and I felt it's not done as thorough as my previous practice did. When it's completed the doctor asked me to stay and another doctor will come to talk to me about root cleaning. I really didn't feel comfortable after her previous approach so I just took off, and certainly won't return for my next check-up. read more

When I say this lady is gooooooddddddd and gentle that is exactly what I mean. As soon as I received dental insurance with my new job here is where I have been. When I first came my teeth were so sensitive-Dr. Harika fixed me right up and I am so grateful. I even recommended one of my co-workers that is having a sensitive teeth issue- I pray that she really visits this office really are great help!!! read more

I have had a lot of bad experiences at dentist over the years, so I was extremely nervous going into this apointment. I can't say enough about Dr. Harikas care of patients and professionalism. Also, they have done a great job integrating technology into the practice. Each chair has a TV over it with access to Netflix to help keep your mind busy while you are at the dentist. Highly recommend this practice. read more

Got my x-ray taken, and then they put Netflix on for me as I waited, which I've never had before. There is also a strategically placed painting on the wall, so I had something interesting to look at while getting my teeth inspected. It helped me take my mind off all the times I didn't floss, and other poor life choices. read more

Dr. Harika, is a very professional and calm person. I like her office and the atmosphere her staff is friendly and very helpful. I recommend this office in getting an estimate on what needs to be done, they are truly fair. read more

I really cannot say enough nice things about my new dentist. She and her staff are kind, competent, friendly, and matter of fact, all at the same time. If you're looking for a new dentist in Newark/Fremont, Dr. Jaspreet Harika at Bay Smile is lovely. read more

I am Rupinder. My second visit to Dr Harika clinic. She is great dentist and very helpful. I am my self a denitis from India. She recommended my her one of friend who just pass her Nadb exam . She knows patient discomfort and help them to get relief.i will recommend Dr Harika to my all friends. read more

I was referred by a friend and I thank him from my heart. I had a painful cavity and they took good care of me. The treatment was over a period of time and they advise you various options where you can pick one that suits you. Treatment plans were complete with cost estimates so you are not surprised with huge bills to pay. I would recommend Dr. Harika for anyone with Dental needs in the SF South Bay. read more

I highly DO NOT recommend Dr. Harika. Clearly, she did not become a dentist to make people feel good about their smile it's all about how much she can bill your insurance. I used to be a cash patient, and I would get a bonding procedure done by her at a flat rate with no X-rays. As soon as i got insurance, and i went back to her to have the same procedure done, she would not even come into the room to say hi to me unless I agreed to let her bill my insurance for X-rays that were not needed. I was forced to do a panoramic X-ray, which was not needed, or else she wouldn't do my bonding. That hurt my feelings a lot. I do like her work so over a year later i scheduled with her again. I had been looking so forward to my visit!! Unfortunately i was forced to cancel because she refused to see me without letting her bill for more un needed things. She's just not a compassionate person which i feel is very important in a dentist especially when dealing with people who have insecurities with their teeth. I really wanted to feel confident with my smile for the upcoming holiday. She really let me down :( read more

Awesome and friendly staff. I've avoided going to a dentist for years out of fear, but they were very accommodating and definitely put you at ease. Didn't have to wait for my appointment, doctor explains everything to you, and their equipment is state of the art. I was watching some shark documentary on TV while they extracted a wisdom tooth (and kudos to them for making it completely painless). I'm definitely going back there and would highly recommend this place. read more

I have moved to US few years ago and never visited dentist in the past. There were lot of fillings pending and i have ignored all the time. We indian's traditionally visit dentists only if we have a dental problem. I visited Dr. Harika based on my friends reference. She is amazing highly talented doctor who is very professional, transparent and calm. She explained me all the issues and created a plan for me how to save my tooth and fix things over a time line. The staff is very friendly and help us in appointments, explaining about insurance, plans, etc. We made Dr. Harika as our family doctor for my kid, wife and myself. I recommend this office in getting an estimate on what needs to be done, they are truly fair and they will try to help us. read more

Dr. Harika is wonderful, the staff are very nice and helpful, overall a great place to get your dental work done. I highly recommend Bay Smile Dental! read more

I went there few times and found that the doctor and the entire staff is extremely helpful and courteous. They patiently explained to me the problems and went through the payment options and the plan to fix it. I will definitely go there again. read more

Received my yearly full teeth cleaning service by Dr Jaspreet Harika - she did an amazing job as always - thorough, gentle and clean (unlike other aggressive dentists I've been to who make you hate going to the dentist!) read more

I have visited Bay Smile Dental two times in the past year and both experiences have been great. The front desk staff is extremely helpful with scheduling and handling any insurance questions, and Dr. Harika and her assistant are very attentive to your dental needs (smooth cleaning process and informative tips). I would definitely recommend this dental office to anyone in need of a new dentist. read more

Wonderful service, very nice treatment. Staff and dentist are friendly. Will definitely recommend for any dental needs.

We had a great experience with Bay Smile Dental. Dr. Jaspreet Harika and her staff is very professional and helpful. I took my mother to Dr. Harika after she complained of gum pain. Throughout life, my mother had lots of dental problems and her case was very complex. Dr. Harika did the thorough analysis, came up with a plan, explained all our options and after working together we finalized the treatment plan! My mom is not suffering anymore and we are so thankful that we got in touch with Dr. Harika. I fully recommend this place for all your dental needs, you won't be disappointed! read more
