    I took my 2 year old daughter here today for her first dentist appointment. We had such a great experience! Getting an appointment was simple and we were able to fill out the forms online and send it back. We were greeted right as we walked in the door by the friendly staff. To the right of the lobby was a giant iPad table and toys where kids could play while waiting to get called in. Luckily we didn't have to wait at all since our appointment was early in the morning. Dr. Cox was super friendly and helpful. She answered every question I had and did a good job cleaning Amber's teeth. Im so happy to have found this place!

    I am very happy with SB Children's dentistry and Dr Haley. My son Elliott was very scared at his first few visits and also had to have some dental work done last year. I was nervous about the dental work and the office and Dr Haley were very patient and informative and put my mind at ease. Everything went really smooth in the end. The staff and Dr. Haley are so kind and professional, and after their most recent visit today my 4y/o son now says he "loves going to the dentist". I really wish dentists were like this when I was a kid, because I feel like it sets the kids up for a lifetime of good dental health and not dreading visits to the dentist. To have a positive experience that is tailored for them is so awesome. We also love the lobby with the big iPad table, books and toys. I highly recommend this dentist office to anyone.

    THE BEST! We are so lucky to have such an amazing pediatric dentist in town. Dr. Cox and her amazing staff are so caring and helpful! Whether it's for your first time little one or your teenager this place accommodates all ages through a child's growth. The entrance of the practice is welcoming with tons of toys, large tablet to play, books, and a movie playing. There is a large mural on the wall with their mission statement. All the staff welcome you with a warm smile. The main treatment areas has dentist chairs in the open. They also have a private room available for treatments. One thing that really felt so amazing is they encourage and welcome parents to come into the appointments with your child. They are so welcoming and provide great education and conversation. Our child left with a new tooth brush, floss, chapstick, and a prize from the treasure chest. I am so sad that we're aging out of this practice but we're so glad we got to spend a couple years coming here! Also- she was able to recommend an oral maximal facial doctor to check on our teens wisdom teeth. It was great to have a good referral and feel confident in the progression of our child's teeth.

    My daughter had a great experience at Santa Barbara children's dentist. The staff was super patient and friendly. Dr Hayley Cox was so wonderful. The office is beautiful and clean. We're looking forward our next visit in 6 months!

    Great dentist…read more Requires that I post at least 85 characters more but I don't really have more to say other than Trevor is a great dentist

    Unnecessary treatments, no numbing application was applied for my veneer when getting it put on,…read morereally high-end prices I decided to go here because I saw good reviews on here. I will say I have had no issues with the staff and they've all been very kind even doctor Denny as well no issues as far as hospitality. In fact, I loved everyone there. As far as the appointments, though, something was off and a little fishy. He had said one tooth had too many fillings and it needed a veneer so I did that and it was a huge amount of money. I think it was around $800. After that I had problems with the tooth and he said it could've been a hairline fracture or it could need a cap and he was ready to schedule an appointment for that. Not only that is he pointed out that I had about three teeth with cavities in it. I also asked him to shave down my teeth and some areas from some bad fillings. I had gotten previously from a different dentist and he never did that for me. I decided to go to Kendall Rhodes associates. They didn't find any of the cavities. There was nothing wrong with the tooth that he wanted to fix a hairline fracture for. Not only that is on a very first appointment the dentist smooth out my fillings without me having to ask, she knows it and said how terrible and just went into it. I'm blown away. I want to believe that this is a good dentist and that money isn't a contributing factor to the decisions he made on my teeth. But I'm having a really hard time justifying all the money that I've spent. I'm very thankful I went to another dentist where I feel like they aren't just trying to milk my money.

    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.

Also, parking is difficult at the Milpas location, street parking is limited to 90 minutes and when you spebd up to 45 waiting to be seen, its no good.

Dr. Asadorian repeatedly interrupted him and was dismissive of his concerns. The extraction itself was extremely rough. Afterward, another tooth had significant chipping and a possible crack that had not been present before. The damage was left untreated, and the patient developed severe pain. Concerns about the pain and possible damage were also handled dismissively. A patient should be able to ask questions, understand an irreversible procedure, and have complications taken seriously. Based on this experience, I would not recommend Dr. Raffi Asadorian or Zak Dental Santa Barbara.
