About Us


About Smyle Dental Bakersfield

At Smyle Dental Bakersfield, we care about your smile — and about making sure getting there doesn't feel stressful. Located at 2016 E Street in downtown Bakersfield, our practice offers a full range of general and cosmetic dental services, from routine check-ups to complete smile makeovers, with your comfort treated as a primary concern at every step.

We built this practice around a simple idea: dentistry should be conservative and proactive, not something you dread. Whether you're catching up on care after a few years away, or you're ready to finally address the smile you've been hiding in photos, our team is here to meet you where you are — no judgment, no pressure.

Meet Dr. David Zaghi, D.D.S.

Dr. David Zaghi leads Smyle Dental Bakersfield as your friendly dentist, bringing a modern, state-of-the-art approach to general and cosmetic care. He is a graduate of the USC School of Dentistry and a proud member of the American Dental Association (ADA), the California Dental Association (CDA), and the San Gabriel Valley Dental Society (SGVDS).

Dr. Zaghi's approach centers on clear communication: patients get thorough explanations of their options before any treatment begins, so decisions about your care are always yours to make with full information — not something rushed through or decided for you.

Our approach to your care

We know dental visits can carry some baggage — a bad past experience, a longer-than-planned gap between check-ups, or just the general unease of sitting in the chair. Our team is great with fearful patients, and we structure appointments around a warm, personal touch in a comfortable, relaxed setting rather than a clinical, rushed one.

That philosophy carries through every service we offer:

  1. General dentistry — check-ups, cleanings, and the preventive care that keeps small issues from becoming big ones
  2. Cosmetic dentistry — Invisalign, veneers, and whitening, for patients working toward "the smile perfected"
  3. Emergency dentistry — same-week care when a toothache, cracked tooth, or lost filling can't wait
  4. Restorative care — implants and other treatment for patients rebuilding function, not just appearance

Two locations serving California patients
