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.

Many first world countries have reduced rates for vision and dentistry - it's unfortunate that's not the case here, but most important it was comforting to know a professional, caring staff is there at this office.

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!

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.

First off, this is my second time leaving a review. The dishonest practices don't stop with them;…read morethe first review they requested it be taken down saying I was never their customer which is a flat out lie. See the screenshot of my appointment confirmation for proof. In addition to being liars who can't stand being called out, they not only manipulate the review system, they also manipulate the DHMO system. That is to say they take money to provide services, but then do everything they can to deny those services. For those of you who don't know how a DHMO works, the office that accepts DHMO gets paid a flat rate by your insurance, and in return they are supposed to give you the basic services like a cleaning a couple times a year. But that's not enough for this dentist, they make up fake issues and try to do unnecessary work in order to bring in extra money. Read some of the other reviews, it's horrifying. My personal experience was they made me run through a bunch of hoops to get a basic cleaning that I was due through my dental insurance. Extra xrays and exams, multiple appointment times on different days (so they can bill extra, doesn't matter to inconvenience the client). Then had the nerve to try and tell me I needed a couple thousand dollars worth of work done. I evidently have all kinds of problems that my former dentist that I saw twice a year never noticed. It was sus, so I went back to my former dentist to get a second opinion; he said there was no evidence I needed any of the work Beachside Dental was trying to get me to sign off on. They wanted to mess up my perfectly healthy teeth to make a buck. And no doubt have me follow up with additional expensive procedures later to fix the very real issues they would have likely caused. When Beachside found out I had gotten a second opinion, they refused to honor my insurance and DHMO and even do a cleaning. They "won" after all, collected money and didn't do the work they were supposed to. Run, don't walk away from this crooked practice.

Although I had already read many negative reviews, I made the mistake of giving this dental…read morepractice a chance due to location and being limited in choices by my DHMO. Due to the confirmation of the veracity of the negative reviews by my own personal experience, I have chosen now to forgo dental care rather than get any done at this office. They are dishonest, and tried to have me get unnecessary work done, with the ominous prediction that things might not go well and a simple procedure could turn into a much more severe and expensive one (while I was under the proverbial knife/drill, with no options to back out). I have no doubt that the more expensive would have been quite likely, as it is apparent this practice is about drumming up large bills regardless of what is truly necessary. Even if you have a dental emergency, I would urge you to seek care somewhere else, or risk harm to both your budget and mouth. Like a bad mechanic, a bad dentist can make more problems for you than you had going in. You'll also notice no positive reviews within the last year. Some 5 star reviews from 4-5 years ago but anything recent is 1-2 stars.
