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.

Everyone are so nice and helpful and their office are so clean and feel like home.

Truly the best dentist I’ve ever been to! The entire staff is very kind & informative. They take their time with you & make sure you’re taken care of. I’m so glad my hunt for a honest & great dentist is finally over! I 100% recommend
Everytime we have gone to Dr. Krauss's office, the office staff is Amazing and makes us feel welcome. They work with us for appointments, and my kids love Dr. Krauss! My oldest daughter is extremely phobic with needles and its taken a long time for her to be comfortable enough to get her dental work done. Dr. Krauss and his Team have never pushed her limits and have earned her trust in small visits that she was able to get her work done. I was facing having to have her put under anesthesia, she was so panicky. I recommend Always!
I was a bit nervous to get my teeth examined in the consultation due to a lot of insecurities but the dental assistants made me feel comfortable and when Dr. Krauss arrived to to tell me what could be done he was really thorough and patient with my questions. I left feeling really hopeful. I would recommend Dr. Krauss and his team to anyone!
