PATIENT REVIEWS

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Mira and her staff. They are gentle, professional, kind, and trustworthy. I had my first visit today since the Covid pandemic and the staff has taken many steps to ensure the safety of their patients, including barriers between all of the chairs, air filtration in each room, and thorough cleaning between patients. I am so grateful to have gotten my teeth cleaned all while feeling super safe during a pandemic. Thank you Dr. Mira and team!

Have been trusting SmileWorld for over 10 years in Cupertino + am totally satisfied with their care. A few times needed immediate service from a painful tooth + they have been very responsive in seeing me. Going in for a routine check lately was very impressed with all the precautions taken for COVID client protection, felt very safe in their offices during the checkup.

I have been going to Mira for the last 12 years for fillings and a recent crown Installation and my husband whose had various root canals and problem teeth for over 15 years .For some of his treatment she’s quick to refer him to a specialist such as a recent tooth breakage due to bad  jaw alignment that he should’ve had fixed during childhood .Shes a great dentist and most of our payments are fully covered by insurance taken care of through her office administration . She doesn’t push us to get more work than needed . We have recently started my 9 year old with her as well . We recommend her to most of our friends for her and her staffs good work .I think most of her staff is quite pleasant and I’ve seen a few of these girls for about a decade now .Thank you Mira for all your help in the past decade .

I called with a dental emergency, I was in excruciating pain since the day before. They were able to quickly accommodate me with a morning appointment. Evelyn and the other staff were very helpful to take care of me ASAP, even when they were super busy. Dr. Mira has a very pleasant personality and makes sure her patients are comfortable. She explained the entire procedure in detail and every step that she would take to help make me feel better. Evelyn was very prompt in accommodating me for the next appointment. I am still to complete the treatment, but I feel like I am in good hands and can trust Dr. Mira and her team.

Amazing Dentist work here…I would highly recommend Dr. Mira after my great experience with her. Was having a terrible pain in tooth#13 and my regular dentist (I don’t want to name her, terrible experience) told me for a root canal without even looking at the tooth, I went to Dr Mira the same morning (She is my wife’s dentist), and she did all the tests perfectly and found the root cause – Gums were inflated, and she cleaned them up, and that solved my pain…Thank You so much Dr. Mira! Above all, the best part is – she makes you mentally understand the problem and only then operates on your tooth…

We as a family have been going to Dr. Mira’s practice for about a year. Overall it is just a refreshing experience to have a dentist that is giving you options and making common sense recommendations. (Let’s just say I had some bad experience with a couple of previous dentists who were just trying to max the claims based on my insurance). I live about an hours drive from her office in Cupertino but believe the level of service is worth the drive. I am in the middle of a new crown procedure. Last week the temporary crown came off. I messaged Dr. Mira’s office over the weekend. I was surprised to get a call from her directly. She was willing to, if required to come to her office on a holiday. Most appreciated. That was not required. She pretty much said just come in anytime on the next working day to get the temporary fixed. The procedure was completed yesterday. Appreciate the entire staff at the office who are very professional, courteous and efficient. Keep it up! I would recommend Smileworld Dental to anyone!

I went in this morning to get an old filling replaced. Dr. Mira (with Gina assisting) took wonderful care of me. They were both very professional and caring, working to make sure I was as comfortable as possible. Dr. Mira did her usual outstanding work. I had no pain or discomfort and feel fine, apart from the temporary numbness from the local injection she used prior to working on my tooth. The front office folks were also efficient and courteous in checking me in and out. I would recommend Dr. Mira and her team to everyone! Mukund

I have been going to Smileworld Dental for more than three years now. The dentist, Meera, and her staff are thorough in their work and verbal explanation. They are professional, pleasant, and knowledgeable. They keep the office clean and it is equipped with modern technology. The waiting is very minimal as well. I highly recommend Smileworld Family Dentistry for all your primary dental needs.

This review is for Dr Mira and Gina. I booked an appointment to fix a chipped tooth which turned out to be a cavity.She did not create any drama like most dentists do about doing a comprehensive exam, taking tons of x-rays before they can fix my teeth and went straight to my concern.It involved removing a permanent retainer fixed by an orthodontist but Dr Mira did not create any issues for me about it and removed it herself when i requested her .It was also very helpful that the treatment plan was explained to me in detail so i don’t have to break my head thinking through unknowns. Dr Mira also has excellent bedside manners and is very gentle. I needed local anesthesia but she was very gentle and i did not feel uncomfortable at all. She I am a very happy patient and so glad i found Dr Mira’s office after a long road finding a dentist i was totally comfortable with and trust worthy.Also very grateful she patiently fixed my tooth in a single appointment. You were patient and very nice too Gina 🙂 As i write this, She messaged asking how i was doing as she fixed a big cavity.Which Dr Cares to do that these days!! super happy Totally moving my entire family to Dr Mira’s practice though not sure if she sees kids.

I’ve been coming in to Smileworld Family Dental for cleanings for the past couple of years. These have always been good experiences. This year I also got a filling replaced here. I am very happy with their level of patient care. Dr. Mira takes every care to ensure the pain is minimal. All the staff here take time to answer all your questions and accommodate you. They also keep a digital record of all your dental particulars – which is nice to keep tabs on a problem and check if it is improving over time. Everyone here gives you a feeling that they care about you. Another nice plus is they now have TVs installed for every dental chair with Netflix and you can choose what you want to watch.

My own dentist was on vacation and my tooth was starting to really bother me, so I called Smileworld because they were listed as the on-call dentist. They fit me in the same day which was great. Dr. Mira and her staff were very nice and professional and Dr. Mira was very thorough and informative, which I greatly appreciated. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience.

Like everyone else has said, the office is filled with awesome staff who will bend over backwards to help you with scheduling and insurance, and Dr. Mira is herself very friendly and caring. However, what most impressed me was the actual dental work done. They use the latest tools to take x-rays and full color photographs which they then instantly display on the screen in front of you to show exactly what the condition of your teeth is and explain what you need done. Without anyone even having to say it, it was clear from looking at my pictures and x-rays that my last dentist did a mediocre job with my teeth. One of my crowns was placed in such a way that it sloped off a tooth and created a cave where brushing and flossing could not reach, which over the years resulted in a huge cavity. I won’t go into all the details, but this is the only dental office I’ve found where they will actually show you before and after photos so that you can see the work for yourself instead of just trusting that your dentist did a good job. Of course Dr. Mira has done an amazing job with so far with my teeth, and I can say that with confidence because I’ve seen the pictures for myself!

We have been with Smile World for the last 4 years. The entire staff including Dr. Mira Godiwala take excellent care of you. First of all they make you feel very comfortable. They make sure you are aware of your ongoing dental problems with pictures and xrays. This clarity was not there with my previous doctor . At my previous doctor dental cleaning did not last for more than 30mins. Here at Smile World dental they take a good 1 hour and do a fine job. Dr. Godiwala has modern equipment and is upto date with technology. So you do not waste anytime in paperwork. My kids absolutely love to visit them.

I rate Dr. Mira Godiwala one of the best dentist in the south bay based on my 20 years experience with dentists around this area. She also has a very professional and caring support team/office staff (Liz, Evelyn, Gina, Jessica, Monica) who make your every visit to the office a pleasant one. My entire family recently switched over to Smileworld Family Dental and each one of us are absolutely delighted to have found the right family dentist for our needs.

I had been searching for a nice dentist for years and finally found Dr. Mira through Yelp. I decided to give her a try. first of all, they are a mercury free practice. second, her staff is very professional and courteous, they make sure u r comfortable during the procedure and after it. But the best best thing about Dr. Mira was that she is soooo considerate, whenever I called to say that I was in pain and needed urgent appointment she called me over the next day. How many doctors would do that?? I had my root canal done and she did an excellent job. I have never written reviews on Yelp before but she is an exception!! m just happy to have finally found a good dentist. do give her a try, u wont b disappointed.

I have been going to Dr Mira at Smileworld family Dental for 4 years now. She and all her staff are very dedicated and really care for their patients. Recently I had some tooth ache and Evelyn (the office manager) was able to get me in their busy schedule and they took care of it Inmediately. I certainly recommend them.

I recently moved to the bay area in early 2008 and reached out to a lot of my friends for referral for a Dentist. A few of them referred me to Dr. Mira Godiwala (SmileWorld Family Dental) and I am so glad they needed. I have been Dr. Godiwala Patient since 2008, she has been very detailed and articulate about my dental health and oral hygiene. She has completed the required treatment and I am on a regular cleaning checkups only. I feel the difference in my smile :-). Thanks doctor for your great service and a fantastic Team.

Dr Mira and her team are excellent! I have been going here for a year now and love the treatment I get here. I would gladly recommend this place to everyone. Evelyn and the other staff are super helpful and they work with you to make any changes to your appointments, often until the very last minute. The office is great and has TVs for each dentist chair. Dr Mira is extremely good at what she does and is very professional. Nothing short of 5 stars for this place.

Dr. Mira Godiwala is wonderful. I have been a regular since 2017. The staff is top notch and the service is best. I know that I am in good hands when the doctor isnt afraid to take client phone calls when the staff is on lunch. It speaks volumes. Thank you all for the help, professionalism, and experience.

Smileworld family dental in Cupertino has always been a place l’ve felt comfortable with since my first experience many years ago. These days with COVID-19 going around everyone is concerned more so about safe practices. Smileworld is doing all the right things: -patients answer a health questionaire -patients temperatures are taken & wait in their car til called (masks worn) -dental personal all wear gloves & face masks, as well as, face shields while working on your teeth Smileworld has always had a warm atmosphere & this is still the case. Thank you to the Smileworld staff

I can easily say I am able to eat today just because of Dr.Mira Godiwala. My teeth were not in an enviable situation and in fact were in a pretty bad shape. So, I was even hesitant to see a dentist. She corrected many defects and restored the teeth to a state where I don’t need to bother about them at all. The staff is equally wonderful, professional, friendly and very capable. Each of them is better than the other person. Many thanks Dr.Godiwala, Lizette, Evelyn, Kelly, Mileena and Mariah. Anyone can easily trust them with their teeth without any worry.

I’ve never been to a more caring doctor’s office. I’ve been coming here for 2 years now, even after I moved to San Carlos because the drive was worth it. The office itself is so clean with very modern tools and machines. They usually play Friends or I Love Lucy while you’re in the chair. Dr. Mira is accommodating, thorough and always informs you as to what’s going on. It is such a refreshing change to be involved in the treatment planning and decision making as to what I want to get done and how quickly. Dr. Mira checks throughout your time in the chair that you are comfortable, and even when you try to put on a good face she knows. Jessica at the front desk is incredible. She is knowledgeable and friendly and always goes above and beyond. When my insurance company gave them a hard time, she personally handled it and kept me updated throughout the whole process. After my first visit I recommended to my sister that she come to the office, and she is equally as impressed with Jessica and Dr. Mira as I am and as also stuck with them since her move to Santa Cruz. I’d recommend this staff to anyone! They always exceed my expectations!

We have been visiting Dr. Mira Godiwala and team for the past two years now. The team is very co-operative and helpful. Always considerate if you have to postpone an appointment. Me and my family have done all our annual cleanings, deep-cleanings(as I had mild Periodontitis), and 4 fillings in all from this clinic only. There was never any post-op problem or ever any complication after the filling was done! Touch-wood! Dr. Mira is a very efficient dentist and it is very kind of the doctor to call us later(after every major filling or deep-cleaning that requires anaesthesia) to check if there was any pain or discomfort in the tooth after the filling. The best part is none of the treatments/procedures are forced on you, they will always discuss how much of the cost will be covered by our insurance beforehand, and will only continue if we agree to the cost, so that we are not in for any ‘surprise’ later on! I would highly recommend this clinic for all your family dentist visits.

We just moved to Cupertino from Albuquerque a little over a month ago and, to me, the most stressful part about moving is getting all of my ducks in a row for family insurance, doctors, and dentists. I’m so glad we found Smileworld right off the bat! They were helpful in getting all of us scheduled and communicate with our previous dental office to get our records. The office is very clean and the cleaning areas are top of the line. I had Lizette and she walked me through all of the X-rays and picture-taking they did. The pictures showed up right in front of me on the screen. I liked knowing what was going on and their friendly service. I will be back! (In 6 months anyways 😉 )

Helpful email and text reminders about appointments. Evelyn and the rest of the staff who answer the phone always work with me to change appointments as needed. -Convenient parking lot. Office is clean with flat screen TVs for viewing pleasure -Everyone is pretty nice, helpful, efficient, and accommodating Most importantly is I never feel pressured to be getting extra services. I used to be apprehensive about going to the dentist, much like a car mechanic, in that I had to ready myself to say no to the latest and greatest “preventative” care and up-charges. Dr. Godiwala and her team seem very chill and honest and just do what’s needed to keep my teeth healthy. I just get regular cleanings so far but will definitely keep going and you should too.

I love my experience here every time. I feel comfortable because the staff is full of women, especially women of color, and I can explain everything going on with me without fear of judgment. They definitely care about my life and are the sweetest people, regardless of how tired they are or how late in the day it is. Their expertise knows no bounds too. I can tell by how simplified they keep their explanations that they really know what they’re talking about. Highly recommend this place, especially for long term use.

One of the main complaints you usually read about in other reviews of dental clinics is upselling. High rents make upselling more and more a common thing. I can say with sincerity that in 3 years of going to Dr Godiwala there has never been a single upselling attempt. All the staff are friendly and understanding. Dr Godiwala spends time with each patient to make sure she gives a full opinion on matters and discusses a path forward (deep cleaning, how to brush better, avoid fillings, referrals out for issues (TMJ and other jaw clenching ailments, etc). I have recommended others here and they also had the same experience I did and stayed with Dr Godiwala until they left the bay area.

Hands down the best service I have ever received from any dentist!  Dr Mira is so lovely and explains everything. Her staff are wonderful – my daughter needed a tooth pulled out and they were so accommodating and helpful with x-rays and keeping my youngest calm during what would have been a traumatic experience.  They gave her toys, TV and kept talking to her and us throughout. The receptionist, whose name I keep forgetting to ask for, is such a lovely and helpful person; she always works really hard to get an appointment that works for us and helps with all my questions (I always ring up with loads of questions and with an inability to know the correct/technical) terms.  Just really lovely people! Couldn’t recommend them more highly. Also, we had forgotten our cheque book and they are so relaxed about getting payment!

Smileworld is amazing, this is our go to for my entire family, they are hygenic, overall a good facility with latest dental equipment. Dr Mira is very professional and experienced, she takes great care to make sure it is a painless experience and she overall has a great team to deliver a great experience. My kids are excited about their visits to the doctor and the best part, you can catch up on your TV Shows while you are getting your dental work done. Smileworld works with most Insurance providers and so that makes it easy as well.

I had my first appointment today and it was great!  I was a bit nervous, but every single person at the office was so nice and really did a great job putting me at ease.  They explained exactly what they were doing every step of the way which really helped calm my nerves.  Binh was my hygienist and she was awesome!  And Dr. Mira really explained everything in detail and presented the options I had.  She was not condescending at all and made me feel really comfortable about coming back.  The entire staff was awesome!  I highly recommend them.

Their office was the only office that did not use a bait and switch and provided me upfront estimates since i was trying to get a procedure out of insurance. After walking in the clinic, the doctor saw that we were in a pickle and waived off $100 of the estimate. She worked tirelessly for an hour but realized that we needed specialized care. She not only referred me to a specialist , she waived all the fee that we owed her and didn’t charge anything for the X-Ray’s or the work that she had provided, including getting us out of pain. I have yet to see a dentist so high on ethical, moral standards. It’s amazing to see doctors like smileworld. I am a customer for life!

I have had horrible experiences with other dentist that frankly I was scared to go to dentist. I always was charge crazy co payments when my insurance did not require it . I finally was referred to Dr. Mira by a good friend. Ever since I been going to her it’s just been the best experience at a dental office . They are friendly and caring . Evelyn the office Manager, is super thorough with her explanation on what your procedure is and if they can’t do a certain procedure that is require they are professional and honest enough to refer you to a specialist. Unlike other crooks I have came across. My daughter is also getting braces done with her and she is at the first stage with the retainers and they are very prompt with sending EMAIL reminders on when to tighten them every week! I also referred my co workers who are very happy with them. Overall , the Smileworld Family Dental Group is an awesome team that I look forward seeing every six months for cleaning!

I hadn’t ben to a dentist in years. I knew I needed a lot of work, and frankly I was scared. Dr. Godiwala got through everything within a few visits in a progression that really made it all easier to deal with. I’m really happy with the results. As a plus the rest of the staff is nice and always greeted me with smiles. The receptionist got through my insurance stuff quick and the heigenist was thorough without being…sadistic, like some. Thanks Smile World, you’ve earned a lifetime patient.

I wen to Smileworld dental for my daughter last week. He staff who cleaned up my daughters teeth was very gentle and my daughter was happy throughout the cleaning process. She was helping my daughter learn how to brush and floss and was providing information necessary to keep up the dental health. Dr. Mira was very patient in hearing all the problems and addresses each of them with care. I again went for couple of filling the next day and that visit had also gone very smooth. I have decided to switch over to Mira for rest of my family. I would rate this as the best dental experience and would certainly refer my friends.

Yes, I am a fan so much so that I made my husband leave his old dentist to come here.  I’ve been through at least like 6 or 8 dentists in the last 2-3 years, searching high and low for a good dentist.  This is where my search ended.  They have very modern equipment with the x-ray machine that moves in an orbit around your head so none of the painful 3-prong clamps other dentists make me angle in weird positions inside my mouth that hurts so much my eyes water.  Well, no more of that. The dental hygienist here is wonderful.  Very kind and friendly but she doesn’t yap away like crazy like other dentists do while they have you as a captive audience in the chair.  Plus, she remembers that I hate the ultrasonic tool and so she always does my teeth cleaning with the hand tools even though I’m sure it takes longer that way.

A WORD FROM YOUR DOCTOR
