Dental care in the United States is delivered mostly by private practices: a general or family dentist who handles exams, cleanings, fillings and crowns, and refers out anything that needs a specialist. Group practices and dental clinics put several dentists, hygienists and sometimes specialists under one roof, often with evening and Saturday hours. Most offices ask new patients for a comprehensive exam with X-rays before routine cleanings, which the American Dental Association recommends every six months. Prices are set by each practice, and most accept dental insurance (PPO plans more widely than HMO ones), CareCredit-style financing or an in-house membership plan for people without coverage. Emergency dental services take same-day patients for toothaches, broken teeth and abscesses, usually at a premium.

The business lists hours on 7 days of the week. Typical hours are 8 am–5 pm. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. The listed phone number is (661) 399-5539. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone.

On Google it holds a rating of 4.6 out of 5 from 134 reviews, which is a strong result for a dentist in Bakersfield and suggests consistent service.

Bakersfield is in California, on the West Coast, where the climate ranges from foggy coast to hot inland valleys, wildfire season can affect air quality in late summer, and traffic is the main thing to plan around. Getting around Bakersfield is easiest by car; street parking is metered in busy downtown areas, and most suburban businesses have their own lot. Ride-share apps such as Uber and Lyft operate across California's larger cities, and public transit varies from extensive to minimal.

Five out of five stars! Excellent place for emergency dental care. Dr. Modi is incredibly responsive, and the office staff is friendly, professional, and caring—I highly recommend them!

Be careful, my last visit with him was an absolute nightmare. He was injecting novocaine directly into a bad tooth that I had and, what I believe was intentional, pulled out the needles too soon and it squirted novocaine or whatever medication he was using all over my face. It felt like my face was on fire like somebody had actually poured lighter fluid on it and lit it!!!! While I screamed he only said what's wrong though I know he could see what he did. Didn't give me anything to wipe my face with at first, the dental assistant totally ignored me and ignored my cries until I finally sat up away from them. I wiped my face off with my own sleeve and my face was still on fire! And it was then that they gave me something to wipe my face with. I don't know what was in that syringe but I will tell you I've never experienced, in all my years in medicine, anything like that. It left my face red for a day and a half and my wife had suggested suing them. They never really did apologize and this was very unlike the very first visit that I had with them which was very cordial and professional but I was scheduled to have a several teeth pulled on my left lower jaw or so I thought? Now why do

Hands off the best dentist I’ve been too. They tell you exactly what you need done with no bs. They’re super quick as well. Highly recommended for any of your dental needs. As for the staff. They are quick with their work and they’re super nice. I’ll be doing business here for awhile. Just here to give an update review it’s probably been about a year still getting work done here and there.I Had gotten a temporary bridge and I had complications the first time they were so nice and fixed it the same day I had an incident happened a few days ago to where I couldn’t recover the next temporary bridge That I had on. I was able to come in this morning and they were able to take care of me asap. Just truly incredible staff and doctor. P.s This took one of the girls about 15 minutes to make the temp and it looks great. Thank you again
