A 25-Year, Two-Doctor Practice Built by the Kazis Still Runs on Evening Hours and a No-Drama Philosophy

SAN LORENZO, CA — For more than 25 years, two dentists sharing the same last name have quietly built one of the East Bay's most trusted dental practices from a single address on Lewelling Boulevard. Lewelling Dental Care, operated by Kazi, Inc. and led by Dr. Shital Kazi alongside Dr. Supriya Kazi, now holds a 100 Dental.me Score and a 5.0-star average across 339 reviews — numbers that reflect a quarter-century of consistency rather than a single good year.

A Philosophy Built on Comfort, Not Just Competence

Ask patients why they keep coming back, and the answer rarely starts with a technical procedure. It starts with how they felt in the chair. That is by design. Dr. Kazi has described the practice's guiding idea plainly: "We believe visiting the dentist should feel comfortable, welcoming, and even a little uplifting." For a field where anxiety keeps many people away for years at a time, that is not a throwaway line — it shapes how the team structures every first visit, from a thorough oral health evaluation and digital X-rays to a treatment plan built around a patient's comfort, health, and budget before any work begins.

That approach shows up directly in the practice's reviews. One longtime patient described arriving in 2013 or 2014 after a traumatic dental experience over a decade earlier — a broken jaw, wires yanked out, and years of avoiding dentists entirely — and credited Dr. Kazi's gentleness with rebuilding that trust. Another patient has been coming for more than 15 years. These are not isolated anecdotes; they are the pattern across hundreds of reviews describing a staff that is "friendly, efficient and competent" and a dentist who "allayed any concerns."

Two Dentists, One Community, Twenty-Five Years

Dr. Shital Kazi is the practice's lead dentist and a well-known figure among San Lorenzo families, recognized for a compassionate style that patients return to year after year. Working alongside Dr. Supriya Kazi, the pair have cared for families throughout San Lorenzo, Hayward, Castro Valley, San Leandro, and Ashland for over 25 years — a tenure that means the practice has now treated multiple generations of the same households, from a child's first cleaning to a parent's implant consultation decades later. That kind of longevity in one neighborhood is rare, and it shows in how the team talks about care: not as a transaction, but as the start of what the practice itself calls "a long-term relationship built on trust."

A Full Spectrum of Care Under One Roof

Lewelling Dental Care has built a service list wide enough to cover nearly every stage of a patient's dental life without a referral out the door. Beyond routine checkups, cleanings, and tooth-colored fillings, the practice offers Invisalign, dental implants, teeth whitening, orthodontics, TMJ treatment, and sleep therapy — a combination that lets the Kazis manage everything from a child's crowded teeth to an adult's jaw pain or missing tooth within the same familiar office. When extraction is the right call, the team walks patients through alternatives first, including implants, and explains every step before a single tool comes out.

The practice also offers laser dentistry, a technology still uncommon in general practice settings. Lasers allow the team to detect and treat cavities with less need for anesthesia, reshape gum tissue, and perform certain soft-tissue procedures with faster healing and less bleeding than traditional methods. For patients who dread the sound of a drill or the sting of a needle, it is precisely the kind of detail that turns a stressful appointment into a manageable one — further proof that the practice's comfort-first philosophy extends well beyond friendly bedside manner into the equipment on the counter.

Emergencies Handled With the Same Calm

Dental emergencies do not wait for convenient timing, and Lewelling Dental Care has built its emergency services around speed without sacrificing the same unhurried explanation patients get during routine visits. The team treats severe toothaches, cracked or broken teeth, lost fillings and restorations, and infections requiring immediate attention, working to relieve pain quickly while still walking patients through what happened and what comes next. One review describes exactly this in action: a patient who walked in on a Saturday simply to book a future appointment was offered a same-day slot after a no-show opened up, had insurance verified, X-rays taken, teeth cleaned, and a full exam completed — all in one visit the patient graded "A+."

Access That Works Around Real Schedules

The practice keeps hours built for working families: 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Wednesday and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday, giving patients meaningful evening availability without needing to take time off during the day. As one patient put it, the team "always work with my busy schedule, especially since they're open late," and follow up promptly to check on progress after treatment — a detail of ongoing care that shows up repeatedly in patient feedback. Prospective patients are encouraged to contact the office directly for current details on new patient availability, accepted insurance, and financing options.
