UniSmile Dental

Dr. Rita is good. The other dentist she brought in is very rough when working with your mouth. Please let other dentist go…

I really enjoyed the Dr. She had to fix a HUGE chunk of my tooth that chipped off. They got me right in and took an x-​ray even though I was a new patient and they were pretty booked. The next day she fixed my fractured tooth in like 15 minutes. I didn’t feel a thing. Will definitely be going back again for all my dental needs.

I got DHMO from Delta and selected Unismile (37 313) as the preferred provider.
I called the Dentists office to make an appointment. They told me that their records show that I am not on their list. She says she double checked on Delta’s website and it still is not there.
Well, I double, tripple checked on Delta’s site it clearly States that my «DENTIST» is:
Dr. Rita Mitbavkar
UNISMILE
DC037313
I told the receptionist that we need to see the Dr. urgently, and I was willing to pay out of pocket should the Insurance not pay. She denied making an appointment.
I then skirted around and got an appointment after some trying!
I go there, and there is a different doctor there. Dr. Rajoota Karmarkar. She takes two X-​Rays, says that I need a root canal and she would do it right away. Of course with a small bill for $ 2800 for two teeth. All this in about 3 minutes! I ask her to fill it up temporarily so, I can get a day or two to think. No, she cannot as it is a liability for her!
I walk out!
I wonder if the experience would have been better if I had met Dr. Mitbavkar.
I have to get a new doctor next month as the DHMO does not permit change in between!
Unfortunately until the 1^st of next month She is still our preferred provider who prefers NOT TO Provide.

As dentist visits go I am not usually a happy camper. Dr. Rita is exceptional and I left no worse for the ware. Had I found this office years ago I would not be needing the work that I need now. Kind, gentle and patient! That is huge for someone like me. I do NOT do well with Dentists and being my second time back, Dr. Rita and her sidekick :) Jessica made it painless. I was not only happy with my visit but very grateful that folks like this are in the field. I would recommend ANYONE and EVERYONE to Dr. Rita. Thank You BOTH Dr. Rita and Jessica. I will see you in a couple of weeks to finish what we have started. A very HAPPY and GRATEFUL customer. May God Bless you always.

Took my son in yesterday and I was very please with the experience that I had. The staff was friendly and helpful and the Dr. (Rita) was as well. I didn’t feel judged or rushed and they were very good with my son.

I have never written review but because of my personal experience and how much I look to Unilocal for recommendations I thought I would put my 2 cents in.
Our original dentist (Dr. Lawani) was great. She had made sure that work would be covered by insurance before making future appointment for work to be done.
She sold the practice and I thought I would give the new dentist a shot. It was fine for a while but the new dentist brought someone new to also see patients. Really bad experience, didn’t wait for shot to numb enough just kept giving more injections. She ended up hitting a spot that was never numbed. I reacted, no apologies or asked if I was alright. She and the assistant let me bite my tongue quite a bit — still not all healed. They were not suctioning properly so I had to swallow my saliva and that’s how I ended up with an injury to my tongue. They didn’t question me why I kept swallowing — sorry logical most people would have inquired.
The practice of getting approval for additional work before setting appointments was no longer used. So ended up paying out of pocket, when I could have waited until insurance covered or explained why they couldn’t cover services.
One spot that they filled is still sensitive to cold. I have also noticed that I only am using one side of mouth to chew because the other side isn’t comfortable to do so.
My daughter has enjoyed going to the dentist and I am not a fearful patient but I had enough red flags so I’ll keep looking.

Dr. Rita is awesome! She’s thorough on sincerely pays attention to her patients! She’s always remembers what’s going on in your life and asks about work and the family and even remembers stories your spouse tells her when he came in for his cleaning. The staff is all very friendly and talkative to keep you feeling comfortable. I’ve always had bad anxiety going to the dentist but I don’t feel that way after going to Dr. Rita! She’s got top of the line equipment and is able to put your X-​rays up right in front of you and discuss the status of your teeth with you. I’ve recommended her to 5 ppl already and no ones complained!

I was always very skeptical for visiting Dentists, but when I had a pay a visit for my dental problems, I felt Dr Rita was really very good and an expert at handling patients who are scared enough with any dental procedures. I was really happy with her expertise and feel no more skeptical about visiting a Dentists anymore. She is really very friendly and great to talk to as well.

Me and my wife had Invisalign with Rita recently and we very pleased with the service in terms of the teeth alignment and the price. We got quotes from 5 dentists and the lowest quote we got is from Rita. Apart from the lowest price she corrected my bite with Invisalign. I definitely recommend Rita for anyone.

Great service. Doctor is really great. Support staff pooja is pretty helpful and cheerful. I would highly recommend it to everyone.

Dr. Lalwani and the staff of Unismile Dental are highly professional as well as friendly and caring. I did not feel rushed through my appointment and found Dr. Lalwani to be extremely thorough in reviewing my x-​rays and in asking questions about my dental and medical history. She showed me the possible connections between dental and medical issues, considering all angles of treatment. Overall, I am highly impressed with Unismile Dental and will continue to see Dr. Lalwani.

Firstly, Dr. Lalwani is one of the most honest and ethical dentist that I have met in a long time. After visiting several dentists in the bay area I finally think that I have found a dentist whom I can trust.
On my first visit, Dr. Lalwani and her staff took the time to explain me my teeth x rays and explain in details on where the cavities were, etc. Her office seems to have the latest and greatest dental apparatus/​machines. Dr. Lalwani and her staff are very professional and very human at the same time.
I will definitely go to her for all of my dental needs. Cheers.
