Summary
Baraka Smiles Dental Clinic is located in the Magunas Supermarket building in Kahawa Wendani along Thika Road, on Nairobi's north-eastern edge. Search-indexed pages from its website describe a practice of over 10 years with five equipped surgeries including digital X-ray, offering cosmetic dentistry, whitening, dentures, implants, pediatric dentistry, extractions, braces and root canal treatment. An aggregator ranks it first in its ward, showing a 4.9 Google rating across 597 reviews, though the website itself blocked automated verification of its content.
barakasmiles.com returned HTTP 403 to automated fetching on 2026-07-04, so on-site details are drawn from search-indexed snippets of the site (about-us, reviews pages) and directories. A second domain, barakasmilesdental.com, also appears in search results. One aggregator search snippet showed an implausible review count (286,343), which contradicts the directly fetched listing page (597 reviews); the fetched figure is used. Registered in the Kenya Master Health Facility Registry.
