    It is great experience to do teeth cleaning in Dr. Hurtado Dentistry. No new cavities for two years. I'd like to try whitening soon.

They didn't pick up when I called, and then I kept getting emails that were obviously sent by AI - not real people; this should have been my first red flag. I showed up at my appointment and they informed me that I would not, in fact, be getting a cleaning, but rather getting a full dental exam and x-rays, and only after they made sure I had no severe issues would I be able to schedule a cleaning. I thought "whatever, I'm already here" and just went along with it because I wanted the cleaning. I brush and floss 2x per day and have no pain or discomfort, so I figured I would be fine. They told me that they weren't sure how soon I could get in for a cleaning after I was "cleared," but the woman at the front desk was perfectly nice and seemed to just be doing what she'd been told. I spent an hour in a half in that office doing god knows what. They put me in a million different machines before the actual dentist saw me. Dr. Vitez waltzed in with this extremely phony, patronizing voice and gave me this whole scripted schpiel that made me want to roll my eyes to the back of my head. She glanced at my scans and looked at my teeth for all of 2 minutes before she informed me that I had TEN CAVITIES that needed to be filled IMMEDIATELY and all at once. Oh - and suddenly they had wide open availability next week to get me in for my 10 fillings! I asked if I could just get a cleaning first and she told me no, for "liability reasons" I would have to get my 10 fillings first. When I got to the front desk to check out, they informed me that I would have to pay several hundred dollars for these fillings out of pocket (they would get a few thousand from the insurance company too). Total scammers who are clearly just trying to get a payday. I got the hell out of there and sent my x-rays to a different very reputable dentist who informed me that my x-rays looked TOTALLY FINE with no visible cavities or issues and warned me not to get treated at this place.

    I was going to a dentist in Carpenteria that I liked a lot for the past few years, but he recently…read moreretired and I wasn't loving the new dentist who took over his practice, so I decided to look for a new one. A good friend of mine recommended Dr. Layus and although it's a bit more of a drive for me, I only usually visit the dentist twice a year so no biggie. Let me just say, I am so very very glad I switched! Dr. Layus is such a nice guy, and he made me feel very comfortable. I felt like he was honest and didn't try to upsell me the whole time (one of the reasons I left my previous dentist). He offers Invisalign, which I am very excited about because I've been considering doing it for a couple years now. My old dentist did not do Invisalign, so that's a huge plus. I am returning in a couple weeks to do a scan for Invisalign and will hopefully be able to get started soon after! The hygienist, Tatiana, was great and very knowledgeable about airway dentistry, which was another huge plus as I have recently been learning quite a bit about airway health, and she was able to give me some really wonderful insight. The woman at the front desk, Anayi (sorry if I got the spelling wrong) was really sweet and easy to work with. Overall I loved my experience here. My one and ONLY very small complaint is just that the waiting room is really small. But it's an older building, and they have made it look really nice and updated inside. The bathroom was clean (really important to me), and the whole office was decorated cute with beach and surf photos. I forgot to grab photos at my first visit, but I will be going back in a couple weeks to do my Invisalign scan and will update my review with photos then!

    DO NOT COME HERE. I tried to give them multiple chances to rectify - make things right…read more I will be reporting to the dental board & BBB, AGAIN. Not only was Cecilia incredibly unprofessional and rude when I was a client here, advocating for myself; Dr. Layus was pushing his political rhetoric my entire 2 appts. On top of them botching my dental work that had to be fixed because they botched it the first time, and also they never completed a crown install because Cecilia didn't like that I stick up for myself or won't let them be disrespectful to their clientele, so they refused to work on me any further. Which has led me to THOUSANDS of corrective dental work and oral surgery next week. AVOID THIS DENTIST OFFICE. Entire lack of professionalism and genuine care across the board.

I wish they took my insurance, but they are able to submit claims on my behalf. I've had crazy experiences with dental offices in SB in the past, and this office has got me feeling a lot more positive about ringing quality care out here.

    I saw Dr. Hlavaty for the first time for a cleaning 6 months ago after my regular dentist closed…read moretheir doors. I was immediately impressed with the how clean and comfortable the office was. Everything seemed new and state of the art. Their staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and overall I had a very pleasant experience. Just this week I decided to go back in to see Dr. Hlavaty for a more in-depth procedure. A previous dentist had given me a filling in a back tooth that left a gap. For the past 5 or 6 years I have been needing to floss after every meal as to not allow food to get stuck which just kind of became my routine but all of that flossing caused damage to another tooth as well requiring a second filling. Because I have never been a huge fan of getting dental work done, I pushed it off for way too long. Dr. Hlavaty had me in and out feeling like the gap was never there. The doc and his assistant consistently checked in to make sure I was comfortable and fixed both teeth before I knew it. The process was quick and painless. I feel like in the future I will be far less hesitant to get dental work done because I know I now have a great dentist to rely on.

    Age 80, I have all my teeth, but lower 4 in front are becoming loose. Dentists had installed…read moresplints, a synthetic band, to tie them to the sound canines on either side, which proved effective, but with more bone loss over time, less so. I thought I'd give Orthodontists a try for a more permanent solution and found Wright and Feusier online. On my first visit I hit it off with Dr. Wright immediately. He examined my teeth and thought he could provide a brace, or wire, that would be custom made to go behind my 6 lower front teeth to tie them together. One of his technicians, that day, scanned my teeth so they could send an exact representation of my teeth to another business that could make the brace. To think such miracles are possible! They scheduled another visit a week later to install the device, which was accomplished by a technician in about a half hour. It was quite a process that seemed to go well and was given final inspection by Dr. Wright. I was advised too, that because I had so much bone loss, even with the device, I shouldn't bite into anything harder than a peanut butter sandwich. Well, just some few days later, I bit into roast beef sandwich, and I heard and felt a disconnection, and the loosest tooth came partially detached from the wire. I was a little discouraged but made an appointment to see what could be done, if anything. On this, the third visit, I saw Dr. Wright, who set me up with Edgar, another technician, who capably made repairs to the detached tooth, as well as smoothing a minor burr on one of my teeth. When he was done, Dr. John Feusier, reviewed his work with a pick to check for soundness and found a spot needing more attention, which Edgar, again ably addressed. Dr. Feusier took another probing look and approved the job, which thus far has proven very satisfactory. Dr. Feusier also recommended a Periodontist to see if there's something he can do about the loose teeth and bone loss. I mentioned all their favorable reviews and that they, unlike other dentists I've encountered, don't solicit customers to write reviews. He said they appreciate them, but don't solicit them, which I appreciate, as solicitations will skew the results towards, perhaps, undue favorability. I was charged $500 for all this work, which seemed like a bargain to me. There was no charge at all for the repair. This is a most ethical enterprise with highly qualified and friendly professionals on their staff. I couldn't be more impressed.
