Dr. Kumar is knowledgeable, perceptive and clearly identifies + articulates both the problem and potential solutions. My family has been going to him for a year. When he works on your teeth, he is careful about not causing pain. I also appreciate that he patiently responds to all my questions without rushing to the next step.

michelle gill
The girl act like she did not know how to take an X-ray and the doctor kept asking me the same thing. I told them had a tooth ache. Not professional at all I call Dr. Sing in Tracy my old dentist
Francesca Lopez
I came in today after sometime of neglecting my oral Health and staff was so friendly ad soon as i walked in i was greeted and staff was understanding while taking X-rays i was a little nervous the doctor came in and asked if I had any major concerns. I let him know what I had going on. He offered me some options. He kept the treatment very conservative, which I appreciated. We completed my cleaning.

In an era where many dentists suggest unnecessary treatments like night guards or fillings, Dr. Sanjay stands out for his honesty and integrity. He only recommends what's truly necessary, avoiding unnecessary procedures that could cause harm. It's rare to find a dentist who prioritizes the patient's well-being. I strongly recommend Dr. Sanjay."

I had to have an Emergency walk in and the staff was fantastic to accommodate on a phone call. They were fantastic in seeing to my needs, the Dr. was excellent. Never before had I experienced having a local administered to not even feeling it. I am so pleased, I am leaving my dentist to come here for all my needs.
Amanda Iosua
Staff is amazing! Thank you doc for getting me in before you went on vacation! I was in alot of pain!
Summer Dyles
I had an excellent experience at this dentist location. I'm glad I was able to find a dentist office that accepts Denti-Cal. The experience suited my expectations. The ladies behind the front desk were nice and friendly. And Dr.Kumar was also friendly and pleasant. He understood my past negative experience at a previous office and made sure he would take good care of me moving forward. He was courteous and informed me of the treatments I would require next. I was relieved that I didn't have to feel embarrassed about getting dental work because private offices now criticize you if you don't have better insurance. I will continue to be a patient at this office and suggest it to relatives and friends.
Tony Holt
I've had nothing but excellent service from Dr Vanjarapu on a couple procedures. He was always professional, knowledgable, competent and patient, ensuring everything was satisfactory to me. I can say the same about his staff. I feel fortunate to have found and went with him. Highest recommendation.

Great place. The receptionists are really nice and the lobby was clean and comfortable
Melita Munoz
I have had several dental procedures done with Dr. Kumar, Sara and staff who are awesome and thorough. I keep coming back because of the attention to detail I receive time and time again. I wouldn’t have it any other way tooth ? ❤️
Jessica
My husband and I went for the first time today, and it's been by far our best experience at a dentist's office. Dr. Vanjarapu is very knowledgeable and considerate. I'm usually nervous about cleanings because of some sensitivity that I have, but the doctor and his staff were very gentle. Also didn't feel super rushed like in most places. Happy we chose to come here.
Paul Tringali
Always friendly. I love how they explain everything and give all options. The doctor is great and I have always been satisfied with the work he's done.
Patty Elizondo
Staff is fantastic, Dr is kind and understanding with gentle hands Ive had a deep cleaning done before where the Dr/hygienist is rough, thats not the case at smile designs, Sara the assistant is fantastic. The back and front office staff are very friendly as well. My teeth look great I will be back again.
Sid Annapragada
Disappointed with today's appointment. While the receptionist was friendly, the overall experience felt rushed. Considering switching providers.

I’m writing this review in case anyone is thinking of going to this office for an internship or just a patient overall . If I could I would give it 0 stars . The office itself is dirty and not up to OSHA regulations in my time as an intern . The staff doesn’t clean instruments after patients and leaves them on the counter mixed with clean or dirty so you don’t really know what has been used and what hasn’t . The front desk employees are rude and the office is very disorganized. Overall, my experience there was horrible and I wouldn’t come here to be a patient at all . This office needs to be checked by OSHA asap.
First and foremost, we want to assure you that the well-being of our patients and the cleanliness of our office are top priorities for us. It is unfortunate that we did not have adequate time with you to complete training and review all of our sterilization protocol procedures prior to your dismissal. We understand that a new fast-paced environment may seem overwhelming and information given may not be comprehended on your first day of training. We also understand how this lack of comprehension can lead one to believe that a work environment is chaotic and/or disorganized. If we were able to complete more than just a few hours of your internship I assure that you would have gotten familiar with all aspects of our office including the sterilization process and recognized that we are in fact OSHA compliant. We can assure that our office is regularly reviewed by a certified OSHA professional to ensure full compliance with the established standards. It is important to note that we are committed to maintaining a safe and healthy environment for our interns, employees, and patients. Participating in an internship is a valuable opportunity to gain practical experience in a professional setting. We hope that if you get another opportunity you keep in mind that it is crucial to approach internships with honesty, integrity, and commitment as this is what all offices and future employers will find most valuable.

Very nice friendly staff. The dentist did a awesome job cleaning my teeth. The best!
Camila Cave
I have a severe fear of dentists due to past severe trauma from previous ones that has left some lingering pain. This dentist office is amazing. Everyone here is so kind, sweet and so so patient with me. I no longer panic and cry at the dentist anymore. I'm able to come in every 6 months now. The dentist is so incredibly patient with me knowing I have a fear of dentists. I was able to get a cavity filled without a panic attack today. That hasn't happened in over 6 years. I am so incredibly grateful I've found them.
Madelyn Mancini
Great dentist! I travel over an hour and a half to my appointments. Dr. is very knowledgeable and his assistant is the best ever. Love the staff!!
Kuldeep Dhillon
I came here first time and treated good.Dr Sanjay explains the issues clearly. His team are also very friendly and in overall I highly suggest this clinic to anyone i know.
Grace Sarmento
I went in there with the biggest fear of the dentist I explained to them that it has been the longest time since I’ve been to a dentist because of bad past experience and my anxiety was going through the roof between the dentist and every single employee in there they were always making sure I was ok walked me through everything the dentist was so gentle that I now have no worries of going back thank Smile Dentistry
Alexandra Figueroa
Best customer service highly recommend to anyone looking to have work done. The staff is very receptive & attentive clean office 5+ stars if i could.
William Fox
Clean, professional environment. Sensitive patient treatment. Thorough explanation of exam results. Good cash price compared to Dental Groups. Satisfied with first visit for cleaning.
Linda Odell
I would have given 5* but upon arrival there was some confusion regarding our patient status, ie; they had us as new patients and we were returning patients. Having us fill out new patient forms, etc. This caused undo stress, which is not what you need at a dental appointment. Please, get it together front desk staff.
Roy Urzua
I came in for an appointment to fix my chip tooth and instead they wasted my time knowing that I had missed work to come to this dentist and he was very rude and condescending his name is Sanjay and the front desk lady was very nice but this guy was very condescending and women fixed my tooth would never recommend this place
duaa tayyem
Very nice kind doctor and very comfortable there and I felt safe. Thank you for everything you do always great and it’s my first time there and it was a good experience
Daisy Diaz
It was my first time here and everyone was very friendly and helpful. Wait time was very minimal and all my questions were answered. I highly recommend this office!
Vanessa Manzo
Terrible terrible terrible. They had me waiting for an hour and 30 minutes only to clean my teeth, I was there for an exam he didn’t even bother to explain to me the treatment options I needed. Waist of my morning. Very unprofessional. I felt as he didn’t care. Will not be returning.
Stephanie Chen
Dr Sanjay is honest, friendly, and very good at what he does! I've gotten cavity fillings, a root canal, and crown done here and he always does a wonderful job. The staff here are so helpful when it comes to what is and isn't covered by your insurance and gives you a complete breakdown of the services being provided. Overall, I highly recommend Smile Designs Dentistry in Manteca!
Amber Hulse
The staff were very welcoming and kind and very knowledgeable regarding any questions I had.
candace haskell
clean and private rooms......friendly staff!! Did not wait at all to be seen.....I was in NO pain throughout procedure!! I am so happy I found this dentist and staff!! So I have had several appts. since first writing this and the dentist and staff continue to be professional. Very competent......
Michele Murray
First time here yesterday and it was great! I did have to wait a little while for the dentist, however the assistant that took my xrays and got me ready was very friendly and helpful. Once the dentist came in he did a thorough job checking and then cleaning my teeth. While waiting I watched the Discovery Animal channel which was quite relaxing. Lastly, the ladies in their Pleasanton office who booked my appts (I rescheduled once) were both very friendly and polite. Overall a 5 Star experience!
Lavpreet Kaur
Highly recommended dentist, he does a great job cleaning teeth. Staff is professional and courteous.
Madhu. Krishna
Dr Sanjay is so friendly and explains the issues clearly. He is very careful when treating patients. He will make sure there is minimal pain while treating. His assistants are also very friendly and in overall I highly suggest this clinic to anyone i know.

Terri Your Solar Lady
Wonderful Dr, wonderful staff, I highly recommend. They were very patient and kind. One of the absolute best dental offices I have ever been to. Thank you for being so gentle :)
NieCY Candelaria
This is not a great place to get work done here the very irresponsible the dentistry is not polite the dentist that works on your teeth the owner and the doctors are very rude and they think that women shouldn't speak up to anybody keep their mouth quiet it's not biblical it's biblical in the Bible to practice by the loss but not in America not in this workplace maybe in their own country because they're Indian and they can follow those rules but here in America we have the right to say and speak up for what is right especially when they're wrong with giving directions they want to blame it on everybody else than to service a patient I don't recommend this place whatsoever take it for what it's worth you're better off finding a different place to treat people right especially when you're under care and you have insurance or whether you don't have insurance and your pain money out of your pocket you should be able to be treated right with respect that's what it's all about.
nesreen ahmed
This is the worst clinic ever??. I waited for more than an hour to enter the appointment and there is only one doctor who is (Indian )❌and unable to work and only asks about insurance. He did not know how to fix the teeth and only talked about money and the clinic is not good ❌and there is no x-ray room. One doctor, three cases For those who spoke before??. I can't believe this clinic is in America
Blessed Crypto
AVOID AT ANY COST!! Staff is good but the Dentist looks down upon MediCal / Medicaid patients! His words when I took in my 13 years old nephew for pain / root canal.. “Oh, this isn’t insurance but we are obligated to take this & see you! It’s just to help you (poor people) out who can’t afford REAL Insurance”! I hope one day the silver spoon gets taken from this Dentist & He falls on his face & has to be on Medical / Medicaid!! :-(

Today I have an appointment for my two children at Smile Designs Dentistry my kids were waiting for about an 1 And 45 minutes in the lobby and our appointment supposed to be at 4:00pm now it’s 5:45. I got this message from my kids telling me they have not seen anybody yet but they’re waiting I went inside to ask what’s going on why is it taking so long? They said if you would to like to reschedule it take your kids and go. I said I’m sorry you overbooked your yourself, she told me yes we do that because some people don’t show up but today happen to be everybody showed up. This is a ridiculous system or what wasting a 2 1/2 hours and missing practice especially we went straight after school and we have no dinner yet. Bad service bad customer service I don’t recommend it
Teri Villa
This office has the best staff!!! Everyone is so nice and comforting. I highly recommend this dentist office.
Michelle Montane
I was able to get a next day appointment for being in pain. Waited 20 mins in the waiting room, took 45 minutes to finally get x-rays done, took another 20 minutes for the dentist to come in and tell me that I brush too hard. I understand needing to get insurance approval for cavities but they were not the reason for my pain or discomfort. I was told that the tooth in pain had bacteria from brushing too hard and to quit using crest toothpaste. If there is bacteria I dont understand how changing my toothpaste will help?? I explained my pain is always there and throbbed below my eye, sensitive to hot, cold and room temp water. I asked if it would be possible to get something for the pain in the mean time because motrin, naproxen and Tylenol have not been helping for months, he told me the severity isn't that serious, apparently he can telepathically feel it. I would not recommend wasting anytime or money here, they take too long for absolutely no help. Let alone, he is also very hard to understand and seemed rushed to get to his next patient. Overbooked facility and took no time with the exam. Worst dentist office I've been to. The receptionist and staff were polite and literally the only thing nice about the visit.
Ashleigh Molina
Got the best teeth cleaning today! I wasn't able to get x rays because of my own circumstances and they were nice and helped me any ways :) Very gentle cleaning, where other places are soooo rough, and this dentist gives good, honest tips! I found this place because another dentist kept telling me I had cavities, but I didn't believe them for some reason. I came here for a second opinion and they told me the truth... no cavities, and still none 2 years later :)
Lifewith7crazykiddos
Best dentist in the central valley, been threw a handful and this is the one . The staff is really nice , the dr is amazing with his hands not rough, always explaining every step . Hes here to help you . Hes not there to empty your pocket book .
Jose Garcia
Only concerned with getting paid insurance money for x-rays and cleaning.....other than that they don't really care to find out as to why my tooth was so sensitive to cold and hot....now it turned into an infection...great thanks doc
Dorehidy Mendoza
Doctor Kumar extracted a wisdom tooth. He it’s amazing dentist. I always afraid of the dentist especially at the needles but he did so good and gentle. I didn’t feel any pain during the process and after. My recovery was fast. I really appreciated having a dentists that Care about patients.
Sheri Ferreira
Everyone was kind, professional and friendly. I unfortunately had to have a very large molar extracted. The experience was not painful.The dentist team prepped me, made sure that I was numb and all went well.
Susy Aranda

Navpreet Bhatti
Took my two daughters in today, I was more nervous then they were. The team did a great job and put on Netflix to keep them busy. Dr. Sanjay and Sarah did a great job explaining everything. Thank you
Michael Carpenter
Never go back! I sat in the waiting room 2 hrs.. Watched 5 other people with appointment times well past mine... Just got up and left. They get your co-pay before your allowed to sit down... I went there with head banging tooth pain. The only thing that got numb was my ass
Hameeda Noori
I took my kids here over a year ago! The cleaning was covered by our Medical insurance! They did the cleaning everything was good ! I didn't hear from them after few months later they sent me a $38 bill ?? I called and ask what was it for ? They said it was for one of your kids which was not covered by your Medical!! Because I came 1 day earlier!! So if I HAD BRING MY DAUGHTER ONE DAY AFTER IT WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED!! Because My Medical would have covered it!! SO I ASKED THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU GUYS TELL ME THAT DAY??? They said we didn't know !! I asked them what do you mean you guys didn't know ?? This is what you guys do !!!! You should have found out !!!! Anyhow this year my kids are going to Kindergarten so I had to take them for teeth cleaning, we talked to the receptionist who made us the appointment and the dentist wouldn’t see my kid unless I pay the $38?? The receptionist said u guys can come for appointment and talk to the Dentist about that ! Ok so I went in waiting for 45 minutes! Thinking the Dentist would just waive the $38 from almost a year ago ! He says to me no we won't waive it !! I-asked why ? it's you guys fault for not checking with the Medical !! He said yes but sometimes it takes hour on the phone to find out ! So why would you guys do the service then why wouldn't you make sure everyone is covered before you do the service???? This is definitely NOT GOOD BUSINESS!!!! And a DENTIST WHO doesn’t WAIVE $38 is a very CHEAP GUY !! And they Know l it was their fault anyways!! If you guys keep doing business the way you're, You will be having PROBLEMS WITH OTHER PEOPLE!!! If I could I would give this place 0 stars!!!! I would! They just started charging people $1 co pay?????

Most caring Dentist I have ever been to. He takes time to clearly explain what is needed. Work very hard to cause as little pain as possible.
Samshun Hussain
Brought my three kids here. They usually don't like going to the dentist but they were very comfortable here. Service was excellent! The Dentist Assistants were very nice and caring. She was very patient with my 6 year old (he talks a lot). At first he was scared but after he was so relaxed and comfortable! He felt right at home. The Dentist didn't push you into getting any unnecessary procedures done. Thank you for an awesome service! ☺
Alex Souza
I couldn't have asked for a better dentist experience. As someone with anxiety about dentists and has avoided going regularly because of that, I finally found an office that I'm completely comfortable with. Dr. Kumar is kind and honest, as is his entire staff that I worked with. Thanks everyone!
Greg SzelpuK
VERY PROFESSIONAL service !!! Totally PAINLESS - you can just set on chair, relax and enjoy great result :)
Vicky McElyea
From the moment I contacted Erica to make my first appointment, I knew I would like this office. Erica was pleasant and helpful and promptly scheduled my appointment. Dental staff were caring, professional and a pleasure to work with. Dr. Kumar was knowledgeable, explaining everything throughly and made sure I wasn't experiencing any discomfort during my procedure. My daughter, along with her children, are also clients here. I'm so glad she referred me to Smile Design Dentistry! I would highly recommend Dr. Kumar and all his caring staff.

Karunakar Nirudhodi
I have visited Smile design Dentistry in june 2016 as ony of my tooth got chipped and it was lot of inconvenience. Dr Sanjay did a wonderful job of fixing the chipped tooth. After fixing, I didnt feel any difference in my bite after the fill. It is little far to travel from Dublin to Dr Sanjay's office in Manteca but is totally worth it as quality of service is more important for me.
jENNIFER DEBENNING
I recently has some dental work done and was very Happy with the Dr .. very gentle and caring .. the front office is very friendly as well .
Babu Chintalapudi
Dr Sanjay is very thorough and professional. Examined and spent good amount of time explaining each X-ray in detail. Office is extremely clean and the interiors are futuristic. Felt really good with my teeth after my first appointment
Megha Goyal
Wonderful experience with amazing care. Dr Kumar is an excellent dentist .. I would highly recommend him ..
Lavanya Rao
I took my 7 year old and 2 year old to sanjay. He was extremely patient with both my kids, especially my 2 year old, she doesn't let anyone else to get closer her that easily. Dr.Sanjay explained all the cavities my older one had, patiently explained to us and answered all our questions and options. My older one stayed comfortable through out the process. Definitely recommend this place for all, couple of my friends webt here for their dental needs and recommended this place, I am pleased to have chosen the right dentist. Ambience is nice, office is neat and clean. Staff was very polite and explained all insurance related questions.
Gazanfur Mohammed
Generally i do not write reviews. My first visit to Smile Designs Dentistry made me to write a review to benefit others. First thing i liked was getting appointment in short notice to address some urgent issue with my kid's teeth. Dr Sanjay and his staff were very friendly. Second thing we liked was Dr Sanjay's professional expertise , he was able to diagnose the issue very quickly and went over all the options available and also guided to chose right treatment.Third thing we liked was he had financing options for treatments. Finally found a perfect place to address all dental needs and overall experience was very pleasant . I highly recommend him.
