Friendly staff Beautiful office located on State st with ample parking Excellent dentist, hygienists and staff I recommend Dr Blake. So do my sister-in-law and daughter read more

Dr. Blake and staff are simply a cut above the rest! Staff are kind, answer any and all questions and are incredibly helpful and accommodating-and that's the tooth (pun, groan)! The dental assistants make my teeth sparkle with thorough cleanings and are amicable. Dr. Blake is a highly skilled dentist. He is knowledgeable, thorough, takes the time and listens to his patients. He is arguably the best dentist in town. The ambiance and design of the office is absolutely gorgeous. A historic building, it is stunning in every way. I could just sit in the waiting room and read all day it's so lovely. Decked with orchids, a fantastic aroma from a warming candle, sparkling water and a Nespresso machine, the waiting room is divine. Some of the dental "rooms"(?) even contain a living wall lush with verdant plants for a beautiful and relaxing environment. Don't walk, run those chompers straight into Dr.Blake's office! read more

See all

I only went here based on their location and the reviews. They're pretty professional about taking your money and showing it in their speech upfront as well. It's fine that they take my money but with a bogus shotty job, I've learned my lesson not to go back. If you want a doctor and staff that don't really care about your dental needs, rushes you and makes you feel badly for making an appointment there, then this place is for you. I came in for an appointment per the front desk receptionist/sales associate's pleasing words of their amenities....Telling me me over the phone that their units are basically state of the art bc I can use the xrays at all dental offices. Came in, their equipment was so old that the dental assistance was running back and forth to take pics like she was working hard but for me to pay $300 ...it was pretty subpar. The receptionist told me the X-ray was for $150 over the phone and upon leaving with an invoice, there was a surcharge of a crappy (moves tongue back and forth really quickly) cancer charge (that I didn't request) that docked me $300. There was also another patient that came in last minute and the doctor was not concentrating on me during my duration. Pretty horrible experience and made me feel subhuman for the most part. And going back to my usual doctor, they couldn't even use the pics bc she said,"they may use older technology that's not as comparable to ours." As in it was very old technology and usually at nice dental offices, they can pull it up online and on the computer immediately and without the quality degrading....usually the dentist would use a CD to put the dental pictures on, so you don't have to keep on asking for the pictures (as this office stated they'll offer) and use a panoramic dental X-ray (at nice offices.) This place seems to charge a lot for bad customer service with an inauthentic facade and definitely not a patient compassionate dental office. One front desk receptionist even told me That the doctor asked if she wanted a job at her old restaurant that she worked at. Not sure this is their passion and probably just a pay check..just don't project that to the paying patient. Just my opinion. read more

Dr Blake is the BEST! First, their office is so nice and all the staff is so nice and friendly. Dr Blake is so nice and I really trust him. He explains everything he's doing so I felt comfortable and confident with the procedure. I would highly recommended him. read more

I am excited to be the first person to give a review for Dr. Blake!!! What a great dentist! I just came back from his office... it his day off and he came in because a crown (not one of his) fell out! He was there cheerful as ever to take care of things. My first experience with Dr. Blake was during Fiesta Friday a few years ago, a tooth broke and I needed to see someone over the weekend. I called his office and since they were closed (Fiesta) they gave me his cell phone #!!! He still has his cell phone number on his answering machine, and he ANSWERS it!!!! The next morning he took care of my tooth. No concerns about billing or that I was a new patient. Actually apologized that the rest of the staff wastn't there. Since then he has replaced a few fillings with crowns and his work is top notch! Over and over I have been impressed with his great service! Oh, and the office staff, couldn't be any nicer! read more

Wow, amazing staff and very attentive. I had an excellent experience here. Just the place I needed for my dental care. It was very hard to find a great place where they could know what I needed to be done and how honest they were with my treatment. This is so fabulous, I have a secure place to come and get great care of my lovely teeth. Their price is fair for the excellent results you get! I highly recommend this place, and obviously now is my place. Everytime I come to my appointment, front desk personnel is super attentive and kind. I always experienced a pleasant visit. Dr. Blake on the other hand is very proffesional and always care about his patient. He does an outstanding job, I am very picky when is related to my oral hygiene and he passes all my expectations. Keep on doing an excellent job guys. read more

Very glad to have found Dr. Blake's office after a less-than-stellar experience at another local dentist. The staff is courteous and friendly, office is clean and comfortable, and I feel like everyone there has my best interests in mind. The hygienist was very thorough and spent a lot of time explaining how I can change my brushing habits to avoid problems in the future. All the other staff, including Dr. Blake, were great and I didn't feel any sales pressure which is sadly rare this day in age. read more

Best dental experience I've ever had in my life! Dr Blake is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and kind. His staff is top-notch and provides a beautiful continuity of care. read more

If you are looking for a dentist, stop right here and make an appointment. They have a wonderful office located in downtown Santa Barbara with easy parking right out front. They know how to make a visit to the dentist a pleasant experience. I have had bad experiences in the past at other dentists, but at Dr. Thomas office has been a breeze each time. Excellent care and top notch customer service. read more

Had a little cleaning done yesterday... every time I've walked into Dr Blake's office, there's been nothing but good vibes and it's always super clean! Finally found a dentist that actually keeps me coming back! Thanks Dr Blake and his team for being awesome people!! read more

Dr. Blake is an exceptional dentist that we have used for sixteen years. He and his staff are professional, competent and office provides a pleasant and safe environment. Dr. Blake has made many improvements to the facilities to address the COVID-19 pandemic; the doctor and staff perform safe practices. read more

I absolutely love Dr. Blake's office! He transformed my smile which gave me an extra boost of confidence! He is very gentle and I've always experienced a pain free visit regardless the type of exam. The office itself is a chic boutique with wonderful staff. At my most recent visit, Jess was my hygienist and I absolutely loved her! She introduced a new treatment called Sodium Fluoride Varnish which I happily accept. She educated me on the benefits of the additional treatment. read more

I was visiting Santa Barbara and my crown came off. Dr. Blake and his staff saw me and quickly fixed it within a few hours. Very friendly and professional. Thanks! read more

My family has been going to Dr. Blake for years and enjoy the service! Dr. Blake and his staff do great work. I was able to get an appointment easily being on the wait/call list recently. My cleaning took about 40 minutes with Hattie- probably the fastest cleaning I've ever had! Overall, great staff and service. read more

Where does one begin?! I have been going to Dr Blake for a number of years now and I can honestly say that he and his staff are hands down THE best it gets when it comes to dental care. Dr Blake and his dental hygienists are incredibly professional, attentive, and caring, and they do everything they can to make each visit a comfortable, informative, and positive experience. I really can't recommend Dr Blake enough! read more

Easy 5/5 review. Dr. Blake is attentive, knowledgeable and uses top notch equipment and practices. The staff is great, the location is central and the office is run efficiently. His work speaks for itself! read more

Dr. Blake has been my dentist most of my adult life. He is AWESOME and so is his staff. The care he provides is outstanding! What I really appreciate is his personal touch. I trust him also as the suggestions for preventative care which has saved me a lot of time in the chair are practices he and his staff use themselves. Thanks Doc and Team!!! read more

This review is about ten years overdue -- my wife and I have been patients of Dr. Blake that long. Bottom line: No dentist in Santa Barbara could possibly be more skillful or have a better "chair side" manner. The reason I am finally getting around to writing this review is the wonderful new crown I am sporting. When I went in for its installation, Dr. Blake felt that it was just a nano-inch off, so he sent it back to the lab to be made PERFECT, and I returned a couple of days later to have the job finished. The dental hygienist in his office (Hattie) deserves a five-star Yelp review herself. (Perhaps I should post a photo of my lovely gums!) Great team in there! read more

Dr. Blake is wonderful. We moved to SB from LA and needed a new dentist. We tried a couple other offices out and we were disappointed. Someone referred us to Dr. Blake and my husband and I have both been very happy. Very professional staff and facility! read more

Dr Blake was recommended to me by 2 friends, which is a great way to start! Over the last 3 years, I've had 5 crown replaced by Dr Blake and his staff. I am very satisfied with the work they have done and would rate my overall experience in this facility a 5 stars. The staff is very friendly and caring. Dr Blake is a real professional, super gentle, always checking in with the patient (me), inquiring about potential discomfort or pain. After each intervention, he always gives a very clear and detailed summary. I would definitely recommend this facility to anyone in need of dentistry work read more

Loved my office visit with Dr Blake. Cindy greeted me warmly at the front desk and then I met Carol, his assistant and she was lovely as well We had a good laugh. Dr Blake was warm and kind easy on the eyes. Great first experience. I asked for a price on the next treatment and Cindy printed one out for me so no surprises for my next visit which I appreciated so much. I look forward to my next visit read more

HORRIBLE people. Really! I came in for an abscess. When I asked if I could forego full X-rays because COVID has affected our business, $$$, the doctor stormed in the room and attempted to intimidate me. As a large fit man in his late 50's, I am sure this worked in the past. Not this time. I fit the same description. It only served to shock and disappoint. When his assistant returned to the room begrudgingly giving me pricing before service, she was quick to be snarky, saying I'd only wasted their time. Evidently transparency isn't "a thing" with them. Inquiring what and why you're paying for a service was treated as a form of unwelcome harassment. I said I'd pass, but my wife who was waiting in the car with our children, with a much more serious issue, in pain, would come in for treatment. They refused to serve her based on my passing on paying for a service I felt was excessive in evaluating my condition. Isn't there some Code of Ethics regarding caring for a patient in pain. Miserable the Bunch! read more

I had been looking for a new dental office in Santa Barbara a week ago - and was SO lucky to have found Dr. Blake's office. Dr. Blake is absolutely wonderful, and so are all of his staff. They were very welcoming, and went out of their way to get me in for an appointment. I'm so happy to have found this office :) I'll never go anywhere else! read more

I'm not the easiest patient to work on but Dr. Blake was awesome! They made sure I was comfortable the whole time and if they saw that something was bothering me they immediately took steps to make me feel better. The office staff is amazing and Dr. Blake's work was efficient and it looks awesome! read more

Highly recommend, I can't say enough good things about Dr. Blake and his entire office. Dr. Blake and Kisha have gone above and beyond for me. I had front veneers put on by a dentist in Los Angeles, and I've had a series of problems with them since moving to Santa Barbara. Dr. Blake has saved me by affixing them (in a way that no other dentist has been able to!!!) He has come in on his days off to help me, so I didn't have to hide my smile an entire weekend. When Dr. Blake was away on a trip, Kisha spent the morning calling other dentists around town to see where I could get in for a temporary solution. The dental service here is 110% better than any dentist I've ever seen - professional, thorough, patient, and the people who work here are so kind and accommodating. I've been in multiple times over the past year and it's been an emotional ride for me that has been handled with such grace. So thankful!! read more

I have been a patient of Dr Blake for 3 years. He is a caring person and talented dentist. I have had problems with my teeth for years and only Dr Blake has been able to restore my teeth properly while caring for me as a person as well. read more

My least favorite place was the dentist office...until now. I have sensitive teeth. It is uncomfortable for me. Dr. Blake and his dental hygienists are amazing. They work with me and provide me with solutions so I can get through my cleaning easy and without anxiety. They are, in my 40 years, the best dental experience I have ever had. Friendly service and family atmosphere. I actually don't mind going anymore! I would recommend to any and all. read more

This is such a fantastic office. My girlfriend referred me to them, I've been putting off getting my teeth cleaned for over 2 years now, because I haven't found a dentist I like in SB. Everyone is amazingly helpful and welcoming, from Hope, the receptionist, to the hygienists, to Dr Blake. I had to go in first for xrays, then the next day for the cleaning. Krista cleaned my teeth, and I can't tout her enough. She explained everything she was doing, and what the results were expected to be, and how I shaped up. I felt informed which put me at ease during the cleaning. She knew I was sensitive in some area's by my gums, and for the first time, it didn't hurt one bit to get my teeth cleaned. The entire time I was in the office, I was comfortable and enjoying myself. They are a family practice, and will not up sell you on additional products. They are there to clean your teeth, and keep you happy. It's a breath of fresh air! I know it's difficult to find a dentist without a referral, so take this as your referral: this place is fantastic! read more

Best Dentist in Santa Barbara!!! Highly educated and qualified! Ask him about his new biomimetic technique!!

Super clean and modern office. Excellent lighting and peaceful atmosphere. Dr Blake and his hygenists are all gentle, calm, and patient. They explain what they are going to do before they start. They are constantly aware of my comfortability and do many things to help me be more comfortable during all procedures. I've been going here for 8 years (at least!) They use modern technology to streamline information and the result is a very clean, comprehensive picture of my dental health. I recommend Dr Blake to all of my friends! read more

I have seen Dr. Blake as a dentist for the past 5 years. I moved here from the east coast and was referred to him by one of his patients. I was immediately impressed by his professional dress, up to date office, and courteous staff. He carefully examined my mouth, identifying problem areas that needed improvement while confirming the quality of my previous dental care. My biggest worry was to start with a new dentist and have him/her tell me that I needed to redo everything my previous dentist had just completed. Nonetheless, he really approached my dental care in a slow and methodical manner which made me immediately trust his opinion and knowledge. Since meeting him I have had a number of crowns done which I feel have been completely perfectly. He adjusted my bite very carefully until it felt just right. Just recently I received my first dental implant which to my surprise was very straightforward and quite painless. I am new to Yelp.com, but rely on the internet for recommendations on all sorts of things... I would like to suggest anyone in need of a great dentist see Dr. Blake David G read more
