Your Neighborhood Dental Practice
Dr. Lori Bagai, DDS
Finding a dentist who truly listens can feel rare — but that’s exactly what patients from East Lake Village, Kerrigan Ranch, and Vista Del Verde discover when they visit Smart Smile Dental. Dr. Lori Bagai has built her career on one guiding principle: treat every patient the way you’d want your own family to be treated. That means clear explanations, honest recommendations, and results that speak for themselves.
Conveniently reached via Cannon Street from East Lake Village, our Orange office gives 92886 residents access to a level of cosmetic and restorative care usually associated with much longer drives. Whether your priority is a whiter smile, a straighter bite, or simply a dentist your whole family can count on — we’re just down the road.
PATIENT QUESTIONS
Everything You Need To Know
How do I get to your office from East Lake Village?
Head down Cannon Street toward Orange and you’ll find us on East Chapman Ave — typically a 10 to 15 minute drive from East Lake Village, Kerrigan Ranch, and Vista Del Verde. Free parking is available directly outside our office.
I’ve had bad experiences at other dentists. Will it be different here?
We hear this often. Our practice was intentionally built to feel different — appointments run on time, Dr. Bagai personally handles your care from start to finish, and nothing is recommended unless it genuinely serves your oral health. Many of our longest-standing patients came to us after frustrating experiences elsewhere.
What cosmetic treatments are most popular with your Yorba Linda patients?
Porcelain veneers and professional teeth whitening are consistently our most requested cosmetic services. Invisalign is also highly popular among adults and teens who want straighter teeth without traditional braces. We tailor every cosmetic plan to match your natural features and lifestyle.
My tooth has been hurting for a few days. Should I call?
Yes — please don’t wait. Tooth pain rarely resolves on its own and often signals something that’s easier and less costly to address early. Call us and we’ll get you in as quickly as possible for an evaluation and same-day relief where possible.
Can my whole family come to the same practice?
Absolutely. We see patients of all ages — from a child’s very first checkup to complex restorative work for adults and seniors. Many East Lake Village families appreciate being able to schedule everyone at the same practice with a doctor who knows their full history.
What happens at a first appointment?
Your first visit includes a thorough review of your dental and medical history, a comprehensive exam, any imaging we feel is necessary, and a relaxed conversation about your goals. Nothing is rushed, and you’ll leave with a clear picture of your oral health and any recommended next steps.
Do you offer dental implants near Yorba Linda?
Yes. We offer single implants, implant-supported bridges, and full-arch solutions including All-on-4. Implants are the most durable, natural-looking option for replacing missing teeth and help preserve the jawbone over time in a way that dentures simply cannot.
Do you accept PPO dental insurance?
Yes. We accept most major PPO plans and will verify your coverage before your appointment so there are no unexpected costs. For treatments not fully covered by insurance, we offer flexible financing through CareCredit.
How do I know if veneers are right for me?
A cosmetic consultation with Dr. Bagai is the best starting point. She’ll evaluate your teeth, discuss what you’d like to change, and walk you through all available options — including whether veneers, bonding, whitening, or a combination approach would give you the result you’re looking for.
Is financing available for larger treatments?
Yes. We offer CareCredit financing with flexible monthly payment options, making it easier to move forward with the care you need — whether that’s a single implant or a full smile transformation — without having to delay due to cost.

A Doctor Who Knows Your Name
ABOUT DR. BAGAI
Dr. Lori Bagai opened Smart Smile Dental because she believed patients deserved better than the assembly-line approach that had become standard at so many dental offices. Over 35 years later, that belief still drives every decision she makes. Patients from East Lake Village and throughout the Yorba Linda area come to her because they want a dentist who takes the time to truly understand their situation — not one who sees a chart, not a person.
She brings advanced training in cosmetic, implant, and restorative dentistry to a practice that feels like anything but a clinic. From the moment you walk in, you’ll notice the difference — and when you leave with a healthier, more confident smile, you’ll understand why so many East Lake Village families have been coming back for years.

Patients from East Lake Village, Kerrigan Ranch, and Vista Del Verde come to us because they want care that’s built around their specific needs — not a standard treatment menu. From your first cleaning to a complete smile transformation, every step is guided by a doctor who listens, a team that cares, and a commitment to results that hold up years down the road.
