I recently moved to Livermore and needed to find a new dentist because I felt I had a cavity. I came here everybody was wonderful I ended up needing an extraction and it was practically painless. When I did need help after the initial appointment they were there for me.

Smiles by Design was a God send for me! I have never had such a good experience with dental work as I did here. Katrina is one of the kindest and gifted dental assistants I have ever come across. She runs that office with efficacy and knowledge above and beyond. Dr. Kaur is a very warm person who makes you feel right at home and when it came to numbing I never felt any pain. So grateful to have been referred to this office 😇

We had a dental emergency for our daughter last week who had broken her front teeth. We contacted Dr. Babaldeep Kaur who came on her day off on a Saturday and saved my daughter's smile. Dr. Kaur was so kind and gentle with my daughter and calmed her throughout the procedure. Dr. Kaur could have stayed home and have a nice relaxing weekend but she came and helped us. She went above and beyond with her service. I would highly recommend Dr. Kaur for all your dental needs.

I was referred to Dr. Kaur by a friend, I had a dental emergency and Dr. Kaur got me in right away. I have had very bad experiences with other dentist, so I was nervous and very anxious. Dr. Kaur was calming and extremely gentle. I need a lot of work on my teeth, and in the last month I have gone to her 5 times, had two root canals, a few fillings and still going back for more. Each time I have had great experiences with no pain or discomfort. I will continue to go to Dr. Kaur, and tell everyone I know to go to her. I appreciate her kindness and no judgement. Thank you Dr. Kaur P.S. Her staff is amazing also, very caring.🥰

Everyone at Smiles by Design is professional and kind I for one is not comfortable with the dentist however Dr. Howes makes me relaxed as possible. His staff is also very good at their own jobs, Katrina is one of his assistants and does a great job. If you are not happy with your current dentist or looking to make a change give Smiles by Design a try I think that you will have a good experience and be glad that you did.

Was looking for a new dentist....wanted someone who was not only a quality dentist, but someone I could trust. I had heard good things about Dr. Howes for his skills and integrity. Got that and more! Pointed out (things) that needed some attention soon...others that could wait, etc. no pressure at all. gave me estimates...found discounts for me, etc. they have a 'new client' special. if you are looking for a dentist...highly recommend Smiles By Design.

My first experience here was very comforting and professional. I came in for my X-ray and consultation and it took about an hour because I had a lot that needs to be done. With the help from Dr. Howes elaborating on what needs to be done and fixed I felt more confidence in regaining my smile, as I had mentioned to him at the very beginning. From all my previous dental visits at other dental practices were painful and not informative. The staffs were all nice and helpful. They took extra precautions in taking temperatures and sanitizing. It's my second visit today and I went in for my clean up. I was pretty nervous because I've been traumatized by my previous dental practice, so during the whole procedure I'm clinching my fist thinking it may be painful. The whole entire time the dental hygienist Mrs. Wong was so gentle and so professional! She had told me it may be a little painful because I haven't had a cleaning in a while, but it went by so smoothly! I'm excited for my next few visits to get the necessary things done for my health.

Dr. Howe’s practice is clean and professional and organized—and his work is top notch. Dental students should tour this place to see what a top-tier practice is like.

Very nice staff, great work, and will work with cash payments. Way better than the other dentists in the area I've tried. I recomend them to anyone I know looking to have dental work done.

Brigette H.

I cannot tell you how comfortable and at ease the staff and dentist make you feel the second you walk in. They fight to get things covered to the max and work a plan for anybody out in advance. No judgement felt for bad teeth or personal situations. Even after I didn't go back for financial reasons for over a year, they were exactly the same with me the second consult and im so excited to get my implants done now! Also, they have updated state of the art equipment to diagnose you properly. Straight forward, realistic, honest, helpful all the way around. Ive talked to other dentist offices and none compare. You just cannot go wrong! Go do it...you will not regret it!

I’ve been going to Dr Howes since he started in Livermore and wouldn’t go to anyone else! The level of care you get is by far the best out there, not to mention Katrina!!! The best.

Samuel Y.

So I have had the worst experience ever with dentist! Until I came to Dr. Howe, he is the best I’ve ever had in my 52 years of life and as long as he keeps his practice I will continue to appreciate his work and go no where else for my teeth work! Love you guys and thank you for saving my smile🙏

Dr. Howes and Katrina did a wonderful job on my wisdom tooth removal. I didn’t feel any pain and the procedure was faster than I had anticipated. My family and I have been going to their office for years, and we have been satisfied with their services ever since. I would highly recommend them!

Lindsey the hygienist is very pretty.😁 She also has a gentle touch which is a huge plus when they have that hook they scale your teeth with in your mouth.😎

I highly recommend Smiles By Design, I have been going there approx. 15 years and still don't have one single bad thing to say about them. They are so efficient, kind and professional, and started out with many cavities and tooth problems, and now I am finally getting great results when I go in. Don't hesitate to call them, you will be happy. If you have had any problems in the past, please give them a try.

Caryn H.

Dr Howes and his staff are amazing! As new patient to the practice, I was in need of some fairly extensive dental work. Dr and staff were amazing! Listened to my concerns and past experiences to make sure my procedure went smoothly. From the front office staff to the back office, my expectations were more than exceeded. I am so grateful a friend referred me and I decided to make the change from my previous dentist!

Two years ago I moved to the Fresno area, but because everyone is so nice and helpful and Dr. Howes does such a good job, I drive 2 1/2 hrs to come back and have him work on my teeth. The employees are all so nice and helpful. M. W.

Moved and unfortunately needed a new dentist. Went in for a cleaning and 2 chipped teeth. I had been with my old dentist for many years needless to say I was hesitant to look for a new dentist. Much to my surprise, I found him, Dr. Howes and his staff are wonderful. Staff are kind, friendly and efficient. No more hesitation to go to the dentist!

Thank you Dr. Richard Howes and his staff for making my dental treatment to be a good experience. The staff is professional and cordious, Dr. Howes is extremely overqualified to work on any Dental treatment. I am a living proof of that, thank you again for the good job.

Smiles by Design is always prompt and courteous. Have to admit, I've been going to Dr. Howes for over 20 years from their original location in Fremont. They are always very detailed and guarantee's their work. Very sanitary. Lastly, he maintains his office extremely clean.

ill be im probably the only person you will read about, who makes under 40k a year, who will travel 250ish miles to go to this dentist. i live in reno and i really do travel all the way down here to see the team at smiles by design. The doc is amazing, light touch and never fails to make me feel comfortable and am not in pain when he is doing work on my teeth. i come down for cleanings too, not just the root-canal, cavity, or crown that they have also done for me there. i love these people, they all make me feel like family, not just another client. and, Katrina is an amazing tech; she took the molds of my teeth and sent them out to have a hard night-guard made. the guard arrived but it was out of shape; so, she took the time to modify it and it works great now. i wear it when riding my motorcycle and when i sleep, that is how much i like it. and, when i referred someone, they gave me a teeth whitening kit that worked amazing too. this is the best dentist EVER. even my wife, who seems unbelievably scared of dentists, went here and was not adverse to coming back. that had never happened before. trust me. they are awesome. go here, you wont regret it.

I had a great cleaning thanks to the kind staff. The best part though was that my mouth wasn't sore the next day like it usually has been at other dentists I've been to. Appreciated that.
