Classic Smiles Orthodontics

I cannot say enough about Dr. Bakar and his staff! He was recommended to us by my daughter’s dentist (whose children went to him) and I can see why she spoke so highly of him. My daughters treatment was fully explained to us and has gone exactly as expected. We are extremely pleased with Dr. Bakar and recommend him to everyone!

«As good as it gets.» That’s definitely the phrase to use when describing Classic Smile’s Orthodontics. Dr. Bakar and his staff are amazing! We never walk into his office without being greeted with a smile. And we never walk out without an update on where we are on the treatment plan. He is great with kids, putting them at ease by telling them what to expect in words they can understand. He answers questions and demonstrates how the appliances work (expanders, headgear, bands, retainers — –we’ve had them all!). He was even available after hours for a few unanticipated orthodontic emergencies! I wouldn’t trust my kids with anyone else.

Dr. Bakar is the best orthodontic in Orange County. My son’s teeth are absolutely perfect. He takes his time to explain everything he is doing and why. His staff is extremely friendly and helpful every time you are in the office. Thank you for treating us like we are part of the family. I would not take my kids any where else but to Dr. Bakar.

Dr Bakar was one of many Orthodontists that we consulted with and visited. He was very thorough in explaining my daughter’s orthodontist needs and was willing to spend a lot of time with us. Because of distance we were not able to choose him as our Orthontist but we would highly recommend him.

Dr Bakar is a great ortho
He has done my braces treatment and thanks to him I have a great smile. I come all the way from Moreno Valley to get treatment with him because I know he is good.

Both of my girls have done their orthodontic work with Dr. Bakar and I am SO glad we chose him. He is WONDERFUL with kids. My kids have done «phase 1» with Dr. Bakar and being in elementary school he really took such great care of them. One of my daughters had a lot of anxiety and Dr. Bakar has always been patient with her… telling her exactly what he was going to do and explaining things to her in a kind, gentle way and with confidence.
He cares so much for his patients — he calls or texts after big appointments to make sure everything is fine and has been available to us on «off hours» for any type of unexpected situation that would arise.
His pricing is VERY competitive and I feel that we have received the BEST orthodontic care. He doesn’t do things that are unnecessary, and at the same time, he is confident in his care plan. My oldest daughter had her braces for 15 months and her teeth look incredible. My younger daughter is still in braces (with an expander) and I trust him 100% make her teeth look great too!

Dr. Bakar is amazing at what he does. He takes great care and time with his patients. He helped make my crooked teeth into a beautiful smile. I love being able to smile without feeling insecure now. Thank you for taking the time, each and every time to making sure my teeth look the way they should. I can’t say thank you enough to the staff and Dr. Bakar for making my visits so pleasant. I highly recommend anyone that needs braces to come here. Dr. Bakar takes great pride in his work and will do a phenomenal job.

I highly recommend Dr. Bakar as a caring Orthodontist. He takes his time at each visit and makes sure you are satisfied with his work. I have personally come across many patients Dr. Bakar has treated and they are all satisfied with his creative amazing work. Takes upon complicated cases and is always able to over come them with Amazing results! Thanks to Dr. Bakar my smile is PHENOMENAL! Ladies and Gentlemen you have found the best Orthodontist in southern California!!!

I brought my daughter to Dr. Bakar for orthodontic care and am so happy I did! From the first 5 minutes of the consultation, I could tell how excited and passionate he was about helping people. Dr. Bakar was very thorough with his exam and explained the whole process from beginning to end. I had all the confidence in him from day 1 and he did not disappoint! My daughter and I are so happy with the results, she has the most beautiful smile. I can’t thank Dr. Bakar and his awesome office staff enough for everything! I highly recommend you visit Dr. Bakar before making any orthodontic decisions, you’ll be glad you did!

After many consultations with different doctors my friend recommended Dr.Bakar. At the consultation he thoroughly explained the whole process, plan and price for my daughter’s and mine treatments. At each appointment Dr. Bakar always payed attention to the small details and wouldn’t settle for anything less than perfection. I’m done with my treatment and couldn’t be more happier with my smile. If you are looking for an orthodontist for your self or your kids, I highly recommend you make an appointment with Dr. Bakar!

I’m grateful for Dr. Bakar’s orthodontia excellence! Even my dentist and hyginist has commented on the superb work Dr. Bakar has done.
This is my second time with braces. First in high school (1992) but in 2005 American Airlines lost my luggage with my retainers and my teeth shifted. Dr. Bakar straightened my teeth back but he also corrected my bite and fixed rear molars that were hidden from sight that the original orthodontist never bothered to correct.
I’m grateful for his office’s followup, flexible scheduling and availability.
I was also very impressed with the final transitioning stages instead of going straight in to permanent retainers (like my previous orthodontist had done) he uses invisalign retainers to ensure the gaps from the bands and molars are closed. This too impressed my dentist as most orthodontists do not take these final steps.
Thank you Dr. Bakar.

Dr. Bakar is an exceptional orthodontist. Before I got my braces I had no idea what it would require or how they really worked. Dr. Bakar thoroughly explains each step of the process and carefully examines each tooth in order to craft your teeth into the perfect smile you always wanted. The office is clean, staff is friendly and you never have to wait very long to be seen. The consultation is free too so it’s easy to go and see for yourself. Thanks Dr. Bakar, I am a happy client!

I highly recommend Dr Bakar as a caring orthodontist who is detail and quality oriented. When I compare my previous orthodontic treatment elsewhere to Dr Bakar’s re-​treatment it is obvious Dr Bakar takes pride in creating great smiles and correcting bites to an actual proper and comfortable bite. (Of course with my cooperation with elastic wear and brushing to keep things clean and healthy.)
I am an adult who has had prior orthodontic treatment elsewhere that I was not satisfied with. I am now going through a second treatment of braces with my new orthodontist Dr. Bakar.
Dr Bakar has made a significance difference in my care compared to my previous first treatment.
During the first orthodontic treatment elsewhere, the doctor who handled my treatment didn’t tell me the plan during each visit. And at the end of my treatment I was just asked if I was happy with the result, I said yes and my braces were taken off.
However Dr Bakar is now my treating doctor for my second set of braces as an adult, and I can see a dramatic difference between my first treatment elsewhere and my current treatment.
Dr. Bakar was accurate with his diagnosis. He let me know the treatment plan from the beginning of treatment. He spends time to explain what he tries to do with my teeth every visit. He is a personable person. I feel that my care was tailored to my needs. He is a commendable orthodontist. I am extremely satisfied with him as my care provider. And most importantly my teeth now fit together in a proper and comfortable way that was never achieved before.
I will recommend Dr Bakar to my friends, family any anyone who wants quality orthodontic treatment that leaves you with a great smile and a proper bite.

The best compliment for Dr. Bakar’s orthodontia is when total strangers compliment my son on his beautiful smile.
Dr. Bakar’s passion for his profession is clearly evident in the attention to detail he gave to my son. Always explaining each stage of treatment and clarifying every proceedure gave me confidence of the final outcome.
Dr. Bakar is an orthodontist who possesses the eye of an artist and compliments it with the skill of a master technician.
He is great with children, has such a positive attitude, and a true character of integrity. I have recommended him highly to friends and family.

To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is to inform you of the professional orthodontic service I received from Dr. Kevin Bakar. He treated me from 2012 to 2014 and I am very happy with my new smile and comfortable bite!
Dr Bakar’s great final results have shown me that not all orthodontic treatment is the same. I had previously been in orthodontic treatment with another orthodontist but always felt that my final smile and bite were not quite right. My first time with braces at an office outside of California had left me with a severe overbite. Once I moved to California, I decided to get a second opinion and undergo orthodontic treatment with Dr. Bakar.
From the beginning he was very professional. He asked me what I expected and he explained what his plans were for my treatment. Dr. Bakar and I both understood that my poor bite and severe overbite were issues that needed to be rectified.
During our first meeting, he configured the lower wire so he could fine tune my alignment. He handled all my visits with precision and focus. The visits continued with the assignment of wearing my rubber bands all the time.
I visited with Dr. Bakar every four weeks and did not miss any appointments and neither did he. He always had a professional disposition and was in a good mood. After a year of routine visits, Dr. Bakar wanted to start applying other techniques for a look that we both desired. So in the spring of 2013, Dr. Bakar fitted me for a custom appliance he designed specifically for me to further correct my bite. I had to wear this for two months which was not bad, all the while I was still wearing elastics.
A few months after the appliance was removed, Dr. Bakar increased my visits to every two to three weeks. My bands started becoming tighter with his attention to detail.
By the end of my treatment I was wearing two bands on each side of my mouth. Dr. Bakar said my braces would be off before Valentines 2014, however, on my last visit in December 2013; he was pleased with the results and decided to remove my braces. On the very same day I received my temporary retainer. On my following visit I received my final retainer.
I had two orthodontists before Dr. Bakar and I have been most pleased with his professionalism and workmanship. I saw how Dr. Bakar treated his other patients with the same proficiency.
I highly recommend Dr. Bakar and have witnessed how he cares for patients, works a busy orthodontic office, all the while maintaining his work ethic.
Sincerely,
Neisha W

I’ve been taking my daughter to Classic Smiles since she was 8 years old and would not think to take her anywhere else. The office is clean, modern and inviting, and the equipment is state of the art. Dr. Bakar always takes his time to explain the procedures and what they will accomplish so we in turn understand and know what to expect. When I was growing up, I had braces for 6 years so I was very skeptical about starting my daughter with braces at such a young age. Dr. Bakar reassured me and explained that it’s actually better to start young in order to make room for her adult teeth as they come in which will greatly reduce the length of time she will need to wear the braces. I wasn’t sure how all that was going to work, but in no time Dr. Bakar corrected her over-​crowding. The best part is that she got to choose hot pink elastics for her braces and then showed them off to her friends at school who thought the braces are cool !!
The other thing I really like about Classic Smiles is that all of the orthodontic appliances are custom-​made and precision fitted by Dr. Bakar himself. I remember growing up that when I had braces, expanders and retainers they never fit quite right and always poked and prodded me. As I later learned, this is because most orthodontists send the appliances out to be made in a dental lab for an approximate fit. It was very reassuring that Classic Smiles does all its own work to exacting standards, and the proof comes from my daughter who has never once complained about anything poking her gums or cheek or anything not fitting right. Dr. Bakar is a true craftsman and puts quality into every treatment so that my daughter’s comfort comes first. It’s very rare to find such high quality work and personal attention to detail nowadays, and I’m planning to start my other kids at Classic Smiles when they become old enough to start going.

Classic Smiles has been taking care of my son’s orthodontia needs and doing a phenomenal job! The care he’s gotten is the best I’ve seen and everyone there is as personable and friendly as you could ask for!
My teeth started shifting with age. My dentist told me I needed braces again or I was going to start wearing teeth down in odd spots or start chipping them! Well, I didn’t need a referral! I knew exactly who I wanted to take care of my orthodontia. I’ve had my braces on for about six months now and I couldn’t be happier! Kinda funny that both father and son have braces at the same time! You should see our family photos!
The office has really great evening hours! I can collect up the family, have dinner, finish homework and then head to the orthodontist. Makes for a more relaxing day than having to squeeze a trip to the orthodontist in between homework, sports, dinner, etc.
