I have been taking both of my children to Dr. Bagheri for years.He is fantastic with children with an innate ability to calm them for any procedures, walk us and them through exactly what he is doing, and gives great recommendations for dental care.Scheduling appointments is easy, he is very reasonably priced, and visits are not time consuming.I cannot recommend him enough.

We’ve been seeing Dr. Bagheri for almost three years now, and I can honestly say that his kind, loving nature and the warm, inviting environment of his office have made all the difference for our family, especially for my kids. Dr. Bagheri genuinely has a heart for his patients and views them as more than just a number walking through the door. He is deeply committed to creating positive, lasting associations with the dentist for children, which is so important. My kids are actually excited to visit him for their cleanings and exams—they cheer when it’s time to go!One of the things that stands out to me most is how informative Dr. Bagheri is. He takes the time to explain everything in terms we can understand, showing us x-rays and making sure we know what’s going on with our teeth. This has always helped us feel informed and confident in his care.Most importantly, Dr. Bagheri’s commitment to his patients goes beyond just office hours. We first stumbled upon his office when my daughter, who was only two at the time, had a dental emergency with an abscess that was spreading rapidly. Dr. Bagheri made time to see her immediately and ensured she was as comfortable as possible. He arranged for her tooth to be removed that evening at Radys, going above and beyond to help her.More recently, when my son had a minor dental trauma from a fall, I called Dr. Bagheri’s office on a Saturday afternoon during the holidays. To my surprise, he called me back within an hour to discuss the situation, explain everything, and schedule an appointment. His quick response and thorough explanation brought so much peace of mind.Another bonus is that Dr. Bagheri sees the entire family, from kids to adults, and can even schedule appointments for everyone in one visit. This is a huge convenience for busy families like ours.Thank you, Dr. Bagheri, for the incredible care you provide. Your passion for your work truly shines through and can be felt by everyone who walks through your doors. My kids will always have a positive association with going to the dentist because of you. A special shoutout to Helen as well, who is always so warm, welcoming, and helpful.Thank you again for everything!

Simply a fantastic dentist, great experience every time. I was doubtful that we would get X-rays of either of my kids, but was shocked when he was able to do it, with zero upset!He has an incredible amount of patience with my kids, and a great understanding of how to best accommodate through each appointment. I have recommended him to several families, and will continue to do so!

Amazing Experience at Kids Smile Pediatric Dentistry!I can't say enough wonderful things about our experience at Kids Smile. My daughter was a bit nervous about going to the dentist, but Dr. Bagheri and his team made her feel so comfortable and cared for. From the warm welcome at the front desk to the gentle and thorough care in the chair, every part of the visit is exceptional.Dr. Bagheri has a way of connecting with kids that is truly special. They explained everything in a way that my daughter could understand and made the experience fun instead of intimidating. The office itself is clean, inviting, and designed with kids in mind, which makes each visit even more enjoyable.I’m so grateful for how well they take care of my daughter’s dental health and helped her build confidence for future visits. We’re lucky to have found such a caring and professional dentist. Highly recommend!

Dr. Bagheri and his Dental Hygienist, Helen, have been providing fantastic personalized dental care for my son for approximately 3 years. As a parent of a child with autism, it is wonderful to have a compassionate dental team that is willing to take the time to make the patient comfortable. Thank you Dr. Bagheri for being so kind to our family and easing our son’s anxiety during his dental appointments.

I have a PhD in traumatology and always take much care in the research that is needed to care for my own patients. I have known Dr. Bagheri for many years and during that time I saw firsthand his true heart for the children in Mexico that are cared for through Rotary international. Dr. Bagheri is not just a great dentist and pediatrician but most importantly your children will be in God‘s hands as well as this caring servant.

I’ve been bringing my family to Dr Bagheri for over 5 years. He and his team are awesome! Very kind, understanding, and generous. The name might be Kids Smile, but it is a family dentist office. Dr Bagheri cares for my whole family, myself included, and I’d recommend him to any and everyone! Thank you for everything Dr. Bagheri!

Dr. Bagheri has been providing excellent dental care and advice for our entire family for years now. It started more than 5 years ago that my kindergarten daughter having lots of cavities and being afraid of dental appointments, but after seeing Dr. Bagheri to have fillings and advice, she has learned to floss and brush correctly, daily, and only needs regular checkups nowadays. Then my teenage son had a difficult case of wisdom teeth pulling, Dr. Bagheri provided a referral though his network connection for my son’s dental surgery with excellent results. When Dr. Bagheri started accepting adult patients a few years ago, my wife and I switched and have been receiving excellent dental care and advice from him, not only on regular care but also on other needs like night guards, gum treatment, root canal, implant, etc.

Dr.Amin Bagheri is an excellent in all he does. He did something to my teeth that you won’t even believe. He made it healthier gums. Growing up in the Philippines i did not take care of my teeth. Every time I brushed my teeth, it bled because the gums are not healthy. Today, I can’t see any blood anymore when I am brushing my teeth. Thanks to Dr. Bagheri and the staff Helen. Excellent job and thank you. I am forever grateful. Blessings always.

Dr Bagheri and his staff are so nice and professional, and have made my two daughters(age 6 and 2) feel very comfortable with the dentist! When my 6 year old needed a cavity filled, the process was easy and painless! She is terrified of shots, so we were very nervous, but between the happy gas, and the movie she was watching on his in ceiling tv, she didn't even notice her shot! Highly recommended him, especially for kids who may be a bit nervous about dentists.

Amazing doctor! Took my kids previously to a place with superheroes - but Dr. Bagheri needs no cape. He is very good with kids, and made mine feel so comfortable. My daughter, who has experienced trauma in the dental chair of another practice, couldn't believe how easy it was at Kids Smile Pediatric Dentistry. I will never return to those others places. Thank you, Dr. Bagheri for making this a better experience for kids and parents alike!

We were in search for a pediatric dentist for my girls (ages 7 and 2) after having horrific experiences at the Super Dentist. It was totally by accident that we came across Kids Smile Pediatric Dentistry and THANK GOODNESS WE DID!!! The entire staff at Kid's Smile Pediatric Dentistry is amazing and greet you with a warm smile each time. On our first visit, I explained to the lady at the front desk that my older daughter had a very traumatizing experience at the Super Dentist and she was VERY afraid of the dentist. She immediately turned her attention to making my daughter feel at ease and I could see in my daughter's body language that she felt no fear. The dentist Dr. Bagheri came to greet us and my girls immediately felt at ease with him. He has a very calming demeanor about him and my girls had an amazing experience! My older daughter was highly traumatized by her previous dental experiences but by the end of her first check up, she was back to loving to go to the dentist. She even had some teeth pulled (due to a crowding issue) and within 10 minutes (from the time we walked into the room to when we were walking out), he had pulled 4 teeth and my daughter reported it was completely painless!! She actually looks forward to coming to see Dr. Bagheri! And my 2 yr old is EXTREMELY shy but Dr. Bagheri respects her boundaries which puts her at ease and he is able to give her a complete dental check up and cleaning without any kind of fussing! I can't say enough good things about Dr. Bagheri and his team! I'm so thankful to have found a place to take my girls to ensure their oral health where they feel completely comfortable!! I love that Dr. Bagheri also never makes me feel like he is rushing the appointment and listens to all my concerns. He takes so much time and care with each of his patients. Truly one of the best out there!! If you have kids, this is the place to go for pediatric dentistry!!

Our family is beyond grateful for Dr. Bagheri and his staff at Kids Smile Dentistry. We have searched far and wide for a compassionate, and skilled dentist for our four children. I am very thankful we found this practice. Dr. Bagheri is truly gifted in his ability to draw out a fearful child and make them feel at ease. Sadly, this has not been the case with previous pediatric dentists, and we were even resorting to general anesthesia for one of my children to get a simple filling. Our child was so fearful, our last two dentists basically gave up on him as a candidate for routine dental care without general anesthesia. However, our fearful little boy no longer needs general anesthesia for dental work because Dr. Bagheri and his staff went out of their way to speak patiently and gently with him and to really work with his anxiety, not just see it as an inconvenience. As a medial professional myself, I am so impressed with the standard of care at Kids Smile which treats the whole child.

I have 3 boys. My boys have been going to Dr. Bagheri for 5-6 years now. My youngest son was only 9 months old when he had his first dental visit. It's amazing to see how comfortable he is with being on the dental chair at such a young age. I'm sure it has been due to such a positive experience in every visit. My oldest child use to be very scared of the dentist (he had another dentist prior) but after a short time, Dr. Bagheri was able to build trust with him. He is no longer crying or anxious. My boys are excited to see Dr. Bagheri since they see him as a good friend and always looking forward to get their "prize" from the treasure box after each visit. His office is kid friendly with colorful fishes on the wall, TV screens on the ceiling, and books/toys in the waiting area. Dr. Bagheri is a wonderful dentist and amazing with children. He has a gift in dealing with kids. He is very friendly, gentle, respectful and professional. His whole team has been amazing even after new staff that has come and go over the years. I'm surprised with the one star review on here. I truly believe children are a great judge of character and my boys absolutely love Dr. Bagheri and his staff!

Our family HIGHLY recommends Dr. Bagheri's dental practice. He and his staff are all friendly and great with kids, my active three year old included. Dr. Bagheri was very patient with both my child and all of my many questions, and we were very happy that he was associated with Rady Children's Hospital when my daughter needed a more in-depth procedure. We've had great experiences with them all around.

I found Dr. Bagheri on yelp and there were 3 reviews and all were positive and very good so I decided to give him a shot. My daughter is 3 and had never been to the dentist before, so needless to say I was a little nervous on how scared she was going to be. To my relief Dr. Bagheri was great with her and is really good at what he does. To make my daughter feel more comfortable he let her feed his fish before the she sat in the chair. Every tool or instrument he used on her he introduced it to her first and let her hold it as well. He even had child friendly names for the tools like the instrument that sucks all the saliva out of your mouth so you don’t drool he called “Mr. Thirsty”. He is very patient and wonderful with kids the whole time he was telling my daughter that she was “such a good girl” to give her positive encouragement that she was doing well. At the end he even let her pick a prize from the large treasure chest he had there. It was such a good experience for her and she wasn’t scared at all. I would definitely recommend Dr. Bagheri to anyone who has children.
