    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.

    Dr. Denny and his staff are amazing. We always have a great experience with them, and that includes…read moreall areas: surgery/serious stuff, cleaning, and billing. We're so lucky to have a dentist we like and actually trust, so close to where we live. I actually look forward to going to the dentist because they're genuinely nice and you just get a good feeling from them.

    For years, I was told I needed braces because of an extra tooth on my lower row--what I always…read morecalled my "shark tooth." It never felt urgent, so I kept putting it off. Then my top teeth started shifting and caving in a bit, and I knew it was time. I was referred to Dr. Ferris by friends who absolutely raved about him. I'll admit, I was a little skeptical going in--I assumed they'd recommend pulling the tooth like others had suggested. But instead, he recommended Invisalign. It honestly sounded too good to be true, but I decided to go for it. Now, I have a straight smile--no shark tooth--and while I thought I was happy with my smile before, I had no idea how much better it could be. My teeth are straighter than I ever imagined, and I truly couldn't be happier with the results. What really stood out, though, was the entire experience. Dr. Ferris has clearly created something special with his team. From the moment you walk in, the energy is different--welcoming, upbeat, and genuinely positive. Every single person I interacted with was not only professional, but truly kind and engaging. You never feel rushed, you feel taken care of. The level of customer service is exceptional. They remember you, they communicate clearly, they make the process easy, and somehow turn what you'd normally expect to be a purely clinical, in-and-out appointment into something genuinely enjoyable. It's organized, efficient, and still feels warm and personal--which is a rare combination. The office itself is beautiful--clean, modern, almost spa-like--but it's really the people that make it stand out. There's a sense that everyone enjoys being there, and it shows in how they treat their patients. I truly can't recommend Dr. Ferris and his incredible team enough. Professional, fun, welcoming, and results that speak for themselves.

    Received my Invisalign treatment from this practice. The staff was extremely friendly and…read moreknowledgeable. Excellent bed side manor from doctor and assistants. I highly recommend you choose Ferris orthodontic! Dr. Quinn and Dr. Ferris are amazing!

    Besides being well-schooled, highly qualified, and experienced in many forms of dentistry, Dr. Etue…read morecommunicates warmth, compassion, genuine care, and personal interest, as well as sincere professionalism. I found that, besides wanting the best for his patients, Dr. Etue is enthusiastic about dentistry itself and how he can best use it for each patient. He clearly describes dental procedures and options in a way that one can understand. As soon as I entered Dr. Etue's office, I was struck by its layout and design, which I learned was created by Dr. Etue himself, revealing his ingenuity, diversity of abilities, and desire for a clean, relaxing environment for his patients. Dr. Etue's office and equipment are very much up-to-date, with more of the very latest equipment than other offices in our recent past. When I was taken into the examination room, the very chair I was seated on was a sample of all the latest equipment Dr. Etue used for the examination, with a large video screen, which had my name on it and a readout of me as a patient. What additionally impressed me was his very detailed explanation of the lateral incisor tooth, for which I had come to him for his advice. He described three options along with the benefits and limitations of each one. He then recommended the least invasive for my situation, which ended up being the least expensive. The result of Dr. Etue's work on this tooth is very impressive. Rather than extracting it and placing an implant, which is very expensive, Dr. Etue was able to build the tooth from the root to the very tip. It looks and feels great! All at substantial financial savings! This latest experience with Dr. Etue's dentistry demonstrated that he wants the best for his patients. Before he created his present location, he had repaired two of my teeth using the least invasive and least expensive options, with an explanation of the benefits and limitations. These two teeth have served me well for some time now. I recommend that you visit www.completedentistryofsantabarbara.com to learn about Dr. Etue and his philosophy of dentistry. I have found that Dr. Etue fulfills the words on his Home Page, "WHERE EXPERIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY MEET COMPASSION."

    Dr. Etue is a phenomenal dentist that takes the time to learn his patients unique dental needs,…read moreprovides excellent care with attention to detail, and keeps the patient informed during all aspects of the appointment for optimal comfort. I've never met a dentist like him- he's honest, kind, very thorough, performs dental cleanings himself, and has a proactive approach to managing dental health. Wow. Truly blown away and impressed! He spent two hours on my intake appointment. My teeth look and feel great! Very pleased and will definitely be returning!

    I have nothing but good things to say about this business. All of the girls are so sweet, and…read morealways in a great mood. I am always greeted with a smile and genuine "hello" which doesn't happen everywhere. What a great staff! Dr Swenson is such a refreshing addition to the team! He is always cracking jokes, and like the girls, always in a great mood. He makes you feel comfortable and important like you're not just another person taking up a seat. I just got my braces off after having them for a little under 2 years. Any time I needed an appointment change or had any questions they were all there to help. I'm absolutely IN LOVE with my teeth now and I can't stop looking at them. I highly recommend that if you're thinking about braces you should check out Edstrom, Trigonis, and Swenson. You won't be disappointed!

    Dr. Swenson is one of the nicest people I have ever met so it pains me to write this review. I do…read morenot want other families to go through what we have been through at this office. My son finally got his braces off. Three years after getting them on and a whole year delayed. There were numerous problems and mistakes made. Some by my son for not following protocol 100% but mostly the assistants putting brackets on incorrectly, wires not being cut short enough cutting into his cheek, and going months before the next visit before figuring out that bands were not in the right place. Not to mention that when my son had emergencies it was a challenge to get an appointment. Maybe they double or triple book in order to close the office on Fridays. Sometimes waiting over a week before they could get him in. My son was so happy to get his braces off only to be greatly disappointed with the work. His teeth are straight. However, now he has a noticeable flare in his upper teeth which he did not have before. I was unhappy with the service of mainly the orthodontic assistants and inability to get appointments easily from the get go and had tried to switch him to another orthodontist early on in the treatment but was unable to do so. The new orthodontist did not want to do any work on someone who already started treatment Needless to say, I did not send my second child to this office. She instead went to Dr. Thatcher almost 2 years after my son started his treatment. She finished her orthodontic treatment before my son, granted, her case was much easier, with fantastic results constantly receiving compliments from everyone on her beautiful teeth. We plan to consult with Dr. Thatcher to see if she can correct my son's flared upper teeth. It's disappointing to have to now spend money and time on two orthodontic treatment rounds.
