Santa Barbara Family Dentistry

My nephew, who lives on the East Coast, was here visiting us over the holidays. He had just spent the past several months traveling and missed his last dental appointment. I called the office just to see if they might be able to get him in for a teeth cleaning and was pleasantly surprised and pleased when they said they would see him that same afternoon. They did a very thorough examination as well as several x-rays and were also able to clean his teeth. He said the staff was nice and efficient. Both of us would highly recommend this office to anyone needing dental care.

I love this place because they are so caring and compassionate. They really took the time to listen to me, Rosa and Christina particularly were amazing!

Personally, there’s nothing to not like about this dental clinic. I’ve been a patient a long time already and I absolutely love the dental staff. Everyone is super attentive and nice.

DON’T GO HERE!!! They told me I had 8 cavities. When I went to another dentist to get a second opinion he told me I had only 1 minor cavity that didn’t even need work. I was told that The employees here are given a seminar in how to upsell patients to get more money out of you. DO NOT GO HERE!!!

Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The doctor was really thorough on telling me what was going on with my teeth. I usually have a bad experience when I go to the dentist and get anxious but they seem to really care and were very attentive which made me feel better about seeing a dentist again.

SBFD is amazing!!! I had a real bad pain on my right tooth and knew I needed to get a root canal. I called and they took me in same day within 3 hours. The next day they still had me go again just to see If I was fine. Staff always friendly. Truly recommend them. Keep up the great work guys!!!

Great client service, very fast, treated me with high quality care. I am very blessed to be coming here I feel very comfortable!!! Definitely feel part of the family (:!!!

The service is great don’t get me wrong, but the experience is bad. I always go to my dentist every 6 months like asked. Well when I went there I was told I had five cavities! I was like okay before you treat me do you accept my insurance? They were more interested in getting me in than answering my questions! “We’ll discuss this at the end of the treatment.”
Okay. I went back for my fillings. And the lady said I had 6 cavities and then the doctor said I had 4. But when I asked so how many do I have again? The doctor checked the file and was like “oh five in total.” I got so many different answers in how many “cavities” I had. That made me feel like they just told me that to get money out of me and yes it was true! Then I’m not sure what happened, but I got checks in the mail by my Dental insurance because they didn’t want or couldn’t take my insurance. The breakdown was funky and scetchy they were so interested and quick to get those checks! I will no longer be going back their after I called my insurance company and they said they charge more than any regular dentist! I still paid a good chunk of money after my insurance covered their fees. Save your money! They might say you need all these things, but I would get a second opinion.

Great dental practice. Very clean, reasonable prices and latest technology. I have been embarrassed of my smile for too long and they came up with a PAINLESS treatment plan. Plus very affordable. Best dental experience ever!!!!!

Great experience for a new patient here, the workers were all very nice and accommodating throughout the treatment. Had one issue pop up and the staff didn’t hesitate to help take care of the situation!
