About Bakersfield Smile Design | Dentist Dr. Kenneth W Krauss DDS

Bakersfield Smile Design, led by Dr. Kenneth W. Krauss DDS, is a cosmetic and sedation dental practice located at 1919 G Street in downtown Bakersfield, California. The 93301 zip code covers the city’s downtown core, and the practice focuses on cosmetic dentistry, smile makeovers, and sedation-based dental care for patients who experience anxiety.

Cosmetic dentistry is the primary clinical focus. Smile makeover consultations allow patients to discuss specific concerns and explore what combination of cosmetic services might address their goals. Dr. Krauss works through findings and options in detail before any work is started, so patients have a clear picture of the proposed plan and expected outcomes.

Sedation dentistry is a key service and is routinely offered to patients who have had negative dental experiences or who have significant anxiety around dental procedures. The practice is experienced in caring for patients who have deferred dental care for extended periods and who need a supportive clinical environment to begin treatment.

New patients receive a thorough consultation and examination before any treatment is planned. The team is experienced with patients returning to dental care after a long gap, as well as patients seeking significant cosmetic improvements. Treatment planning takes each patient’s goals and concerns into account before any procedure is recommended.

The downtown G Street location is accessible from the city center and surrounding neighborhoods including Oleander, East Bakersfield, and areas along the Highway 99 corridor. Patients from across greater Bakersfield seeking a sedation-capable cosmetic dentist can reach the practice via the contact information on this page.

Patients who have avoided dental care for years due to anxiety may find that a practice built around sedation and a supportive approach makes it possible to address long-deferred needs. A candid consultation conversation about what has been put off and what sedation options are available helps shape a realistic treatment plan. Contact the practice to schedule an initial consultation appointment at this downtown Bakersfield location.

I came into the office with questions about veneers and left feeling very well educated that there might be another option that would better suit my needs. Dr. Krause took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, the alternatives, and what I could expect every step of the way. I truly appreciated that there was no pressure—just honest, informative guidance that helped me feel confident in making the best decision for my smile. The entire experience was professional, welcoming, and reassuring. I highly recommend Dr. Krause and his team!

I recently moved to Bakersfield and I work downtown, my tooth was killing me, I asked my insurance company for a list of dentists nearby and they told me about Doctor Krauss. I called the office phone number and fortunately they scheduled an appointment right away and Doctor Krause’s staff was very friendly i filled out some paperwork, it was a hot day and it was nice to escape the heat in the comfort of Dr Krauss’s air conditioned office, i was seen on time a doctor took x-rays of my mouth which is usually an awkward experience but this dental technician/assistant did a great job and made the experience as pleasant as possible, Dr Krauss came by shortly thereafter, he was very friendly, he had great bedside manner, he looked at the x-rays, he looked at my mouth, long story short my tooth is feeling a lot better and i’m grateful Dr. Krauss was able to see me on such short notice. They even signed me up for a cleaning in a few weeks, which is great because I am long overdue for a cleaning.

Chipped my front tooth today and called every dentist in Bakersfield to try to get in.. My dentist was closed today. Dr Krauss and his amazing staff got me in right away without me being a patient there. So happy with the outcome! Will be coming back 😊😊😊😊

I’ve only gone to four different dental groups here in Bakersfield for the last 24 years. And I can honestly say it is doubtful you will find any better, professional kinder, friendly people in the dentist industry here. Fast appointments, boutique atmosphere waiting room, and overall a professional service. And oh yes….. no pain at all
