It's not always easy to find a good dentist. I'm doing the hard work and found one for you. Dr. Brian Smith is a great dentist. Quality work and funny Gen X dad vibes. His staff is great too. I need a little humor with my root canals. Even better than his bad jokes is the fact that he made fixing a complicated tooth problem painless. I mean it. Both his technical skill and consideration for how you are doing are on full display when you are in that chair. I'm really grateful. The office is state of the art. They have all kinds of equipment and procedures to make things as easy and painless for both you and them. I'm not gonna lie, I don't mind the 80s alternative music they play here either. If I've gotta get my teeth cleaned, at least I can listen to the Cure. Dr Smith will leave you smiling, and not just because your teeth will look and feel better. Stop putting off making that appointment but Remember to eat a few Oreos before you show up, and tell him Tom from Yelp sent you. read more

Dr Nikki is amazing!!! Is very honest & only works on teeth that need work. She also gives you options on the work that has to be done

There is a reason that we drive from Nevada to Claremont to see Dr Brian Smith. He really cares about what he does and is an excellent Dentist. Have been going to him for years and will never see anyone else. Both me and my husband trust him with our dental care. His office staff is tremendous in accommodating our needs. Trust is a big thing and he has our trust. read more

Dr. Smith and his staff are professional and friendly. They put you at ease and make you feel very comfortable. Dr. Smith made the procedure painless, which is fantastic. If you are looking for a dentist look no further. read more

I have to say this is favorite dentist office that I have been to yet! It's really hard to find an office where the staff is personable and makes the effort to put you at ease. Obviously most people don't enjoy going to the dentist and have anxiety towards it but this staff makes me feel so comfortable and to be honest... I actually have a lot of fun oddly enough. Lina,Kim, and Dr. Nikki are my favorite, I request them every time I have an appointment. I've never gotten a cavity fill so I was a bit nervous but Dr. Nikki was so fast at the procedure and even threw in some jokes and funny stories before hand to ease off the nerves. Also the biggest bonus in my eyes is that they are actually very timely with their appointments and your appointment starts right on time. I never have to sit there and wait for longer than expected. This is really nice specially because I come during the middle of my work day. I have another appointment to get 1 more feel done and I will continuing going back for all my dental needs. I highly recommend this office, you won't regret it! read more

Amazing customer service to go with amazing dental work. Can't say enough about the staff. From the moment you walk in, you feel like family. Thank you Brian, Nikki, Kayla and Missy! read more

Looking for a great dentist? I found him. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Brian Smith. I recently had a crown replaced and I'm extremely pleased. His well run office is very friendly, very professional. Highly recommended. read more

I am so happy to be back to Dr. Smith's office. Unfortunately insurance changed it quite a few years ago and was forced to go to an HMO. Yuck yuck yuck! I was lucky enough to return and get my tooth looked at today on an emergency basis. The dentist I was going to before had quoted me about $4000 to fix my issue. Dr Smith addressed the issue, confirmed that what they were telling me I needed was not what I needed at all. You're not gonna find a better office full of happy people, caring people, and funny people! Plus they smell good too which is nice since they are so close to you when they work... read more

Brian D. Smith, DDS - Awesome Dr. Smith! - General Dentistry Near Me - Claremont, California

Wonderful office staff. Very warm and friendly. Excellent dental care. I'm very happy with their professional work environment.

I found Dr. Brian and his staff through a good friend over 6 years ago. Like most things, getting a recommendation from a friend is always a good start. I hadn't had good luck with dentists prior to this and was ready to finally find MY forever dentist. From the first visit, to last week's, I have continued to have the best care. Dr. Brian and his staff are gentle, calming, upfront and always listen and take the best approach to your care. The dental hygienists there are also amazing, shout out to Pam! My boys, 8 &10 even love going to the dentist! They make you feel welcome and like a member of their family. Just last week we had an after hours dental emergency and Dr. Brian didn't hesitate to come right back to the office (after just leaving!) and swoop in and save the day and our little emergency. Let me be your friend, take it from me, this is the dentist and staff you have been looking for. Tell them I sent you :) read more

I don't usually yelp, but Dr. Smith's dental restoration work is 100% yelp worthy! He not only demonstrated but also exemplified highly sophisticated dental techniques. Most importantly, Dr. Smith and his staff accepted our dental incident on an emergency basis. Dr. Smith is definitely our new permanent dentist! Thanks a million! Randy and Jenny Pan read more

I don't think I realized (or appreciated) Dr. Smith's care until I moved away and experienced dentistry in another part of the country. I'm back now and wild horses couldn't drag me away from this dental office. They employ the latest techniques, are responsive to my concerns, and are just so nice! I highly recommend the care you will receive in this dental office. read more

I had a toothache and was recommended to dr smiths office. He was able to get me in right away and find the cause. They set me up for my cleaning that I was overdue for and Summer was gentle and explained everything she was checking for. Very happy with my experience and would encourage anyone looking for a new dentist to visit. read more

I've been going to the dentist office in Upland since 1986. When Dr Brian Smith took over he was very patient and thorough. The dental hygienist Summer is wonderful. I drive from a long way away to go there. I would recommend anyone to go there for the best dental work ! read more

I don't know many people who like to go to the dentist including my self. I was going through some issues with my teeth and my mom said she has a great dentist Dr Brian Smith .His staff in both offices are so kind and knowledgeable about what they do. Long story short my dog got a hold of.my lowers and I live in Utah now so I flew to California to see Dr Smith in Claremont. He was booked solid for two weeks but he got me in made me feel right at home. Dr Smith and his staff went above and beyond what I was expecting .. I would recommend Dr Brian Smith to everyone... read more

I have been Dr. Smith's patient for many years now, and it is because of his highly skilled, caring, and compassionate care. His staff is the same- caring, friendly, and helpful! I highly recommend Dr. Smith. read more

I was referred to Dr Smith by a friend after a terrible experience with my old dentist. Dr Smith and his staff were great with my daughter. She did not feel any pain when she had to get two large fillings. He also uses the newest equipment, which is important to me. Also he gave me a referral to get some orthodontic work done. He is out of my insurance plan, which means I am willing to pay a bit more for his services, but Id rather pay for more for an awesome dentist than one like I had before that would yell at me, and start work before the novicane kicked in. Dr. Smith and his staff are awesome. If your looking for a sharp dentist give him a try. Also, another major thing I thought was great, was his staff was very knowlegeble of our insurance plans and coverage. Thumbs up. read more

Kindest dental office ever. From the receptionist to Kim, best dental assistant,. to Dr Smith I have always hated going to the dentist. But when I walk in this office, I feel reassured and safe and I know I'm going to get good care. I live over 100 miles from their office, and they always accommodate me to get me in when I am nearby. Thank you to the greatest dental office ever. read more

Great staff. Very comfortable and easy going office. They are all also very professional and knowledgeable. My family of five hasn't been to the dentist in many years, but now we've found a home. Even my wife who loathes going to dentists and doctors is good with them. read more

The absolute BEST dentist ever!!! Dr. Smith is amazing, Janet, Tam and the office staff are great and my hygienist Pam is the BEST!!!

Great service. Great dentist. Everyone is so nice and friendly. They are very accommodating to all our family needs. Would recommended this office to family and friends. read more

Kept to the schedule, mindful of patients' time. Very approachable professionals. Experience shows, both in performing procedures and narrating what is happening, what's been observed, and the implications of those observations. Can't ask for much more. read more

I am 70 years old and I needed to see a dentist before my hip surgery. I heard about Brian and also read all the reviews. I decided to give him a try. I have seen many dentist over the years. Never satisfied until now. What a difference, it's like these other dentists didn't know what they were doing (just out for the money ). I have never had a cleaning like this, no pressure or sale pitch.He was outstanding an so was his crew. Can't wait for my wife to go, she more critical then I am and I know she'll be happy. Oh, can't forget about the two girls at the front desk, awesome. John W read more

This dentist office deserves 5 stars. CLEANLINESS: From the moment you walk in the door this office takes all precautions to ensure they cover all the proper protocols and safety measures to take care of their patients. Taking temperatures , hand sanitizer, and mask requirements. The office is very clean and all the rooms are remodeled and equipment is updated. SAFETY: They take all safety measures to make sure the patients are safe and comfortable during their procedures. For example, I struggle with heart problems and the doctor is always monitoring me and giving proper doses of medication to make sure I am pain free as well as well as stable in regards to any medical conditions. KINDESS: The office staff is always kind and helpful. They make you feel welcome and at home during your visit. COST: This office takes my current insurance. When I was uninsured they always worked with me to accommodate my budget to make sure I was taking care of my dental needs. STAFF: Of course the Dr. is great and very professional but he has an exceptional team behind him. They ladies at the front desk Tam and Janet are always helpful and get you in the chair without hardly any wait time. The Hygienist Heidi is so sweet and thorough and Kim is so comforting during the the procedures which helps patients who have anxiety over dental visits. I highly recommend if you are looking for a good consistent professional dentist. Make an appointment with this office! read more

Top notch care, affordable rates and incredibly kind staff members. I'll go no where else.

Dr. Smith has been my dentist since he began practicing dentistry and came on board as an associate with another dentist I was seeing. When Dr. Smith moved into his own office, my husband and I chose to follow. I have seen his skills, which were impressive from the beginning, become awesome, and I'm not particularly easy to impress, having been a registered dental assistant when I was younger. He has also become very gentle when administering anesthetic injections. They used to hurt, but now his injections cause less pain than any dentist I've ever been to. And I can't say enough about the staff at this office. Without exception, I have found them to be friendly, concerned and unfailingly helpful and professional--from the receptionist to the hygienist. read more

I honestly cannot say enough about Dr. Smith, his wife and his entire staff. Everyone has been so kind, caring and understanding. I'm 26 years old and after my kids put conditioner on my tub, I took a fall breaking 3 front teeth and ultimately losing one which again was up front and center of my smile. I went to a dentist prior to who gave me no hope, tried to up sell me on everything and let me leave hysterical telling me that he couldn't do anything for me for 4-6 weeks and I'd have to be without a front tooth for that long. Dr. Smith has been so empathetic and up front with no scams or up selling Involved, a truly honest man that you want to be in charge of your smile which is SUCH a important part of who we are as people (you really don't realize how important until you're missing teeth). When I left his office it was with hope, excitement and literal tears of joy. He got me a temporary tooth (stay plate) and came up with a more permanent plan right away. I can't say thank you enough and cannot be appreciative enough for giving me confidence back which is a HUGE thing for any person but personally, especially, to me. I'm able to meet people again without apologizing for my smile because I'm embarrassed or unnecessarily wearing a mask so my teeth aren't seen and so much more. I promise anyone coming to Dr.smith WILL NOT regret it. I also just want to add his wife is SO beautiful and her smile is literally contagious. Thank you everyone again at doctor smiths dentistry. read more

Dr Smith and his staff are great! Dr Smith is very honest and friendly. The staff is always in a great mood and is super friendly. I highly recommend Dr Smith to anyone! read more

I have been going to this dentist a little short of a year and let me tell you best doc and office I have ever had! Staff is always so nice and helpful and making sure you are comfortable! I'm usually so scared of the dentist but there nurses and Dr. Smith are so easy going and great at what they do the panic goes away almost instantly one I sit down in the chair. Thank you to the staff and Dr smith for going above and beyond and making my visits that much easier and stress free! Highly recommend this office. Very professional and polite and respectful staff! read more

Have been in California for twenty years and was never satisfied with the dental mills that seem to pervade the area. Found Dr. Smith who brings that old fashioned, small town attention to his patients. His staff is warm and welcoming. They are well versed in treatment and make one feel comfortable. I cannot make a higher recommendation. Dr. Smith is a gift to the profession. read more

Dr. Smith is the man. He's so kind and has such gentle hands. His wife is a lucky lady. It's too bad he was immune to my flirtation. Those piercing eyes, the scruff on his face, and those Vans shoes that say "I'm still a kid at heart". Anyway, enough about the sexy beast known as Dr. Smith. The office is exceptionally clean and the staff is always friendly. All of the women there are attractive too (if you're into that). You won't be disappointed if you choose this place for all your dental needs. Bravo, Dr. Smith! read more

Do not use this dentist. Twice work he performed very quickly failed and had to be redone. Once he billed again for the correction work on his failed work. Twice he billed in excess of written estimates. Numerous billings errors took months to correct. Some billing errors were never corrected. He sued me in small claims court instead of making billing corrections. He raises his rates without notification. He misrepresented that he was a preferred provider under our insurance. He's not very good at administering pain medications. read more

My family has been going here for about 10 years. Dr Smith and his team are very ethical, professional and caring. My kids absolutely love going to the dentist which is a huge bonus!! Very kid friendly!!! Highly recommend them. read more

I have never written a review on Yelp before but had to share how much I love Dr Smith and his team. He is the best dentist in the entire world My 18 year old daughter has had mysterious tooth issues that have stumped numerous dentists. Dr Smith and his entire staff have gone above and beyond to try and get her the best care and to solve her issues. They never get upset when she just shows up at the office without an appointment because she had an emergency. Dr Smith has personally called other specialists and had personal conversations about my daughter's condition so they are set up to treat her. He has called me at home just to check on her..............I could go on and on. They treat us like family and I have never had any type of medical/dental care like this in my lifetime Again as other posters have said, he takes my insurance but not as much as others. I don't care- 100% worth it and I will never go anywhere else read more

My husband, daughter, son-in-law, grandchildren and myself have been seeing Dr. Smith for years. He is a great dentist who has high tech equipment that makes problems, or the lack there of, clearly evident. He is professional but yet very personable. And I cannot say enough about his staff. Dental hygienists are wonderful, and I have been able to have the same one for years. The dental assistants, receptionist and office manager are also professional and friendly people. I trust my dental health to Dr Smith and his staff...a truly rare professional and friendly group. read more

Dr. Brian Smith is an amazing dentist. He has a great chair side manor and is very gentle. I had my first Root Canal today and was scared to death. He did a great job with nearly no pain at all. He also followed up a couple hours later to make sure I was ok. His office staff is equally professional, they are always happy and laughing and make you feel right at home. I wouldn't go anywhere else. I live in Redlands and drive 40 minutes to get to his office. To me it's hard to find a great dentist and one that you can trust. Dr. Smith also treats my son and has for a couple years now. My son really likes him as well and that is important. I highly recommend Dr. Smith and his staff.. read more

Amazing staff! I have been coming to this office as long as I can remember because the outstanding dentistry that is done here!! Thanks team! read more

Looks like I'm in the market for a new dentist, and I'm not happy about it. Dr. Smith and my favorite hygienist, Pam, are fantastic. I moved out of the area and just don't get up to Claremont any more. I have been going to them 2x per year for many, many years. The whole team there is friendly. They always honored their appointments on time and got me out as soon as possible. State-of-the-Art equipment. The whole shebang. And every time, I left the office with a fresh toothbrush and a spool of dental floss (which, truth be told, I should use a bit more frequently). I'll miss the group over there. read more

Awesome awesome dentist! Dr. Smith is very knowledgeable and cares about his patients. His staff is very friendly and you can feel the energy when you walk in. When you walk in they are so inviting and call you by your name. Very clean, well maintained and updated facility. read more
