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.

My partner and I were looking for a dentist in the Santa Barbara/Goleta area and came across…read moreDentistry in Paradise with Dr. Miller on Yelp. My partner is always my guinea pig since he's a lot more tolerable and stoic than I am when it comes to the dentist. I receive a lot of compliments for my "white" teeth and a ​big smile, and that is enough pressure to continue taking good care of my teeth--and to suck it up every 6 months to go in for a cleaning. I have since been a patient of Dr. Miller for a year (two visits total). The office is modern and pleasant in appearance with complimentary tea and juice when you walk in. Note: It can be a bit tricky to find since it is in the offices off Patterson Street between the post office and freeway. You turn on Debby Street as if you're going to the Patterson Place apartments, but continue straight and slightly​ right at the fork in the road to the offices. It's the first building on the left and one of the last offices on the right (ground floor). The staff is extremely welcoming and accommodating​. For example, when my insurance was switching over to a new plan, they were able to fit me in last minute. Both of the dental hygienists who cleaned my teeth were absolutely interested in my health and comfort. I am always sure to make them aware that I have some gum recession and sensitive spots. They use some numbing creams and sprays to make the cleaning as comfortable as possible. Shout-out to Nancy and Connie for being so kind and skilled at their jobs! Dr. Miller is so chill and friendly. He meets with you at the end of the cleaning to go over any findings or congratulate you on taking great care of your teeth. They always remind me of​ how to properly​ floss and tell me about ways to better take care of my teeth and maintain a healthy mouth. I think they go above and beyond in providing teaching points. While it isn't much, I always love the feeling of silky-smooth teeth after a cleaning and walking away with a goodie bag. Thank you Dentistry in Paradise for your stellar care!

Dr Miller and staff are total professionals, I can't say enough good things about my experience.read more
