Your Smile Perfected
The dentist who listens
Bakersfield and Santa Clarita
Most of our new patients tell us they have put this off for years. That is the normal starting point here, not something to apologize for. Nothing happens until you say so.
Same dentist at both offices
Meet your dentist in Bakersfield and Santa Clarita
“Helping Californians get their world-famous irresistible smiles is the best thing one can wish for.”
David Zaghi, DDS Graduate of the USC School of Dentistry. Member of the American Dental Association, the California Dental Association and the San Gabriel Valley Dental Society. He comes from a family of dentists, where dentistry is still discussed at the dinner table.
Why people stay
Six things we do differently
Good with nervous patients
First visits are booked longer on purpose so nothing is rushed, and we stop the moment you raise a hand. Most new patients tell us they have put this off for years.
You see the plan before the drill
Images, options and the cost in writing first. The least invasive option that actually solves the problem is the one we recommend.
Two offices, one dentist
Santa Clarita and Bakersfield run to the same standard with Dr. Zaghi at both. Book whichever is closer, or move between them.
932 Google reviews, 4.9 stars
The average dentist in Bakersfield sits at 4.3 stars across a handful of reviews. This practice holds 4.9 across 932 reviews, 822 in Bakersfield and 110 in Santa Clarita.
We file your insurance claims for you
You may be able to use your own dental insurance if you have a policy that allows you to choose your own dentist. If this is the case, we are happy to file your insurance claims for you so that you can be reimbursed by your insurance company.
Same-day emergency slots
Both offices hold time open each day for pain, swelling and breakages, because those never arrive on a convenient schedule.
Reviews
In their own words

I got my wisdom teeth removed here and it went great! Doctor Zaghi did such an amazing job and made me feel really comfortable the whole time he was super nice and friendly . The procedure was quick and way less scary than I expected. Also the staff were super nice, kind , and helpful too. Thank you

Our offices
Two practices, two cities
Each office has its own team, its own phone line and its own booking, so you always reach the people who will be treating you.
1Do you take my insurance?
You may be able to use your own dental insurance if you have a policy that allows you to choose your own dentist. If this is the case, we are happy to file your insurance claims for you so that you can be reimbursed by your insurance company. In addition to accepting cash and major credit cards, we work hand-in-hand with CareCredit Patient Payment Plans. CareCredit offers special financing options to patients at a reasonable rate through use of a CareCredit credit card. This credit card allows you to make easy monthly payments for dental treatments, rather than delaying treatment for financial reasons. Please contact our office for more details.
2I am nervous about the dentist. What do you do differently?
We book first visits longer than a standard appointment so there is no rush, we explain each step before it happens, and we stop as soon as you signal. Nothing is done that you have not agreed to first.
3Can you see me today if I am in pain?
Both offices keep same-day slots for emergencies. Call the office nearest you as early in the day as you can and we will get you in.
4What is the new patient special?
A comprehensive exam and a full set of x-rays for $99, available at both Santa Clarita and Bakersfield. Mention it when you book.
5Which office should I go to?
Whichever is closer. Santa Clarita is on Newhall Avenue and is open Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm. Bakersfield is on E Street and runs Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm, with the same dentist and the same standard of care at both.
