Best place for tooth extraction, in my opinion. All the staff are excellent and friendly. It took one minute to remove my wisdom tooth. Mark Wood does great work. Also, his assistant, Razz Marie (don't know the spelling of her name), was outstanding. Very pleasant to talk too and efficient in what she does. Zero pain with the extraction!

Due to my husband’s health condition, he was referred to Kern Dental Specialties for a tooth extraction. While waiting in the lobby, we observed the front-office staff interacting with all kinds of patients with such professionalism, but most importantly, with genuine compassion. They were patient, kind, and very open to answering questions and helping people complete their forms. Once my husband was called in, we were equally pleased with Dr. Wood and Dr. Vo. Both were professional, personable, respectful, and made us feel that my husband was in very good hands. Overall, it was a great experience from beginning to end. We truly appreciate the kindness, professionalism, and compassion shown by everyone at Kern Dental Specialties.

I had one single wisdom tooth removed. I wish I could have gotten the names of the staff that helped and the dr who extracted my tooth. I’m so happy with my experience, everyone was super sweet, supportive, and encouraging. I have no swelling and experiencing if anything minimal discomfort.

I should have asked for the 'funny pill' I got 13 years earlier for a previous root canal. I was on edge the whole time. Asked for the same Dr! Amazing & efficient! Used my meditation technique which helped. Dr was very fast, & after the procedure told me I should have asked for it. Hopefully not another next time, but ASK for the 'funny pill!' Can't drive with it, but worth it!

Dr George was absolutely amazing. He made sure I felt comfortable and was okay during my root canal. On top of that, I was in no pain after only barely sore. If I recommend anyone it would be him!!

Kern Dental Specialties is located at 1900 Truxtun Avenue in Bakersfield, a specialty dental office that brings together clinicians from several disciplines under one roof. Web directories list the practice across dentistry, endodontics, and oral and maxillofacial surgery, which allows patients who need a tooth removed, a bone grafted, or an implant placed to be seen by the appropriate specialist without leaving the building. The office's core focus, based on patient reviews and directory listings, is root canal therapy and other pulp-related treatment, alongside restorative services such as crowns, bridges, and dental implant placement.
Patients considering dental implants at this Bakersfield office can expect a team-based approach, since implant cases that involve extractions, bone grafting, or complex root canal work can be coordinated among the specialists who practice at this address. Reviewers describe the staff as kind and note that costs and procedures are explained clearly before treatment begins, which can help ease anxiety for patients who are new to implant or root canal care. The office is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and accepts most dental insurance plans, and it takes both self-referred patients and referrals from other general dentists in the Kern County area.
Dr. George Simonyan, DDS, is an endodontist listed at this address in the NPI registry, with a practice phone number matching the office's listed phone. He specializes in root canal therapy and related endodontic procedures. Patient reviews at this location also mention a Dr. Malhotra performing root canal treatment, but no independent credential verification was found for that name, so his details are not included here.
