I cannot begin to tell you how insensitive they are there. I explained over and over I did not have to any money to pay for anything my insurance did dot cover. I printed out my insurance info stating they covered extractions with no co-pay and they said it would still be another $500. They wanted to take more x-rays and ignored me over and over when I said I only wanted a tooth that hurt pulled and had no money for anything else. I had over $1,000 coverage on my insurance which would have covered one extraction, but they refused to do it without an extra $500. It's humiliating to repeat a half a dozen times I did not have it. They are simply just set up to milk insurance companies and don't care at all for people with limited funds. Michelle treated me like I was stupid would not shut up and ended up hanging up on me. They insisted in taking more xrays saying the insurance would cover those. I told Michelle I couldn't pay for any treatment, so what's the point? They (the doctor) are clearly concerned only with milking the insurance companies. Meanwhile my tooth still hurts. read more

Price gouging strip mall dentist. Total rip off. Watch your pocket book! I was quoted $$20,000. After paying $10,000. First stage done. Went to start 2nd stage price was $11,000 over quote. Be prepared to pay before work is starting. read more

DO NOT GO HERE!!!!!!! These people prey on college students away from their normal dentists and try to gaslight them into getting loads of fillings and other procedures that they do not need. They say certain things aren't covered by insurance and make you pay hundreds of dollars out of pocket when this should NOT be the case. They made me take X-rays I did not need, wouldn't show me the results, didn't do a basic cleaning, and told me I had 8 cavities. I got a second opinion and found out I had ZERO!!!! Long story short, DONT GO HERE. read more

All the staff is very caring. Doctor is very knowledgeable. Appointments are quick. I would definitely recommend this doctor to anyone seeking. read more

The office staff and dentist gaslight their patients into procedures they don't need. My wife was told by this place that she had fillings in half her teeth and that the fillings are falling out. She has never had a filling or a procedure that would cause a filling. read more

Dr. Perez and staff utilize the latest dental technology, are highly professional and inspire confidence in his expertise. Except for the fact that he requires payment prior to completing work (which I've never encountered with other dentists, normally billing is upon work completed), I highly recommend Dr. Perez. read more

Called with a broken tooth and looking for a dentist that could all things related to dentistry I needed a dentist here in town (my previous one was a long way away) I believe I found a great one not only did they get me in right away I thought I was going to have to have an extraction. The doctor was able to save the tooth and recommended a bridge at the same time saving me time and money that was at 9:30 am came back at 1:00 same day for the temporary repairs and completely pain-free next week another visit and one other visit the next week to complete everything that needs to be done and did I mention absolutely pain-free. The staff was excellent and along with the dentist and the technician they constantly asked if I was doing all right very professional I think I'm good.and have found my new local dentist read more

Great Office !!! Staff Is Knowledgeable and Friendly. Right from the start with the receptionist was a pleasant introduction and I felt comfortable starting then the dental assistants explained process and procedures with out any confusions and as well made sure I felt very comfortable. As far as Dr. Perez goes he is a Professional at his craft and I appreciate his work . He runs a Clean Professional Business and it shows through his Staff . The wife as a bystander also appreciated the qualities in this office and has decided to switch over as well We had no problems with availability and they were very flexible around my M-F work schedule. Thank you WhiteCrest Staff and Dr. Perez The de Leon's read more

STAY AWAY. The worst case of medical price gouging I've ever seen. Quoted me over $9000 to basically redo all of my prior dental work, saying I needed 4 root canals at an annual check up. Thank goodness I got a second opinion before this office took my wallet and teeth for all they could. The staff was very nice, but in a time where some offices take advantage of their patient's fears, I honestly couldn't recommend this place less. To anyone stuck with a fat quote from this place, I'd get a second opinion from Cali Dental. They're swift and fair with their prices and will give you an honest and decent estimate. read more

My wife and I started coming here last year when we moved. It was nice that we were able to get an appointment because it's so hard to get appointments on central coast. The first time we went it was different because the dentist cleaned our teeth BUT they were accommodating to our work schedules and got us both in after 5pm. Our 2nd time coming was better because they had a hygienist but when confirming our appt that we made 6 months ago, they seemed confused when they called. They asked us to reschedule us but they gave us the same time on a different day. Fast forward another 6 months and we were called a week and a day before our appointment only to be told that the Dentist was unavailable and offered us a morning appointment that was in 3 weeks or something over a month away. I needed to speak to my wife to confirm our schedules. We called back a few days later and were offered a date 2 months away! Clearly making an appointment here means nothing and they must be busy enough now that they don't need our business. I told the staff that we were really disappointed and it seems like it's an ongoing theme since they said a lot of people are being rescheduled and having a hard time getting in. I don't understand the point in making an appointment 6 months in advance if you can't keep it! read more

I've been going to this place for a few years now Highly recommend!! Took care of a really bad root canal. Very kind staff makes going to the dentist not so bad. read more

I have seen many dentists over the years. I had not had my teeth cleaned in quite some time. A friend of mine recommended WhiteCrest. I am so glad I went to them. All of the staff was extremely professional. I felt really well taken care of. I went in for an initial exam and X-rays today. They were able to do my cleaning in the same visit. I will be a returning patient. read more

Excellent dentistry! They truly want to make sure you're happy with what you get done. Raul Perez takes pride in his work and does a great job. I am changing insurance to one they do not take but he said he will still honor his work and make sure my filling is good for at least 6 months regardless of what insurance I have. I chipped it and he fixed it no charge and got me in right away. To me that is someone who really cares. His assistant and the girls in front are amazing too! I highly recommend white Crest smart dentistry! read more

I've been to many dentists over my life and this one is clean, considerate, knowledgable, able to refer out for complex root canal work and the staff was friendly and professional too. I was surprised at how attentive they were after my double crown replacements. The temporary crown came off and they got me in on a Saturday and texted to make sure I was doing okay on a Sunday. Top notch service delivered at a reasonable price; I'm appreciative. read more

I posted a review a couple weeks ago. I do not know why it is not available. So here goes again. I was on vacation from Seattle visiting family. I woke at two in the morning on Memorial Day with a horrible tooth ache. This office was the only dentist to return my messages, to this day, I left six other messages in offices from AG to SLO. Maria, at the front desk recognized my pain and cleared me for an appointment that afternoon. Stephany is the hygienist that worked on me with Dr Perez. Very professional and considerate. The Dr was very informative, explaining the problem and his plan to get me healthy. It was a series of four more visits and some heavy dentistry to see me back to health. But all this was explained by Danniella, the office manager. Yes, I k ow their names. That's how personal this team is. It is not just me, every patient that walked in or out of that office was treated with the same consideration. I have a follow up in January. I will be flying down to see this Doctor and his team. I highly recommend this dentist. read more

Dr. Perez is an absolutely amazing dentist. He has all the newest technology to help him diagnose everything that needs to be treated. He and his staff are super friendly and helpful at all times. They even worked me in after %pm just to help me with an emergency. They definitely go above and beyond. I would highly recommend this Dentistry office to anyone and everyone. Thank you WhiteCrest Dentistry!! read more

Very happy with Doctor and his entire staff :) they are very friendly and welcoming. Can't thank them enough for the work they did!

Dr. Perez and his staff are absolutely amazing! Every visit has been a great experience, beautiful office, up-to-date technology and overall the patient care is excellent. Highly highly recommended!!! read more

I can not say how much I love this dental office and the staff. Every time I have had an emergency they work so hard to get me in and the staff is so awesome and helpful. If you are ever looking for a dentist this would be my recommendation. read more

Dr Raul Perez was willing to see me on a Saturday as a new patient. I had a dental emergency and needed a front bridge. He began the procedure the same morning and was very gentle and seemed very skilled. His office was very well equipped and his staff very friendly. I walked out of there with a wonderful temporary bridge By the following Friday, not even a week later, he seated my very beautiful front teeth bridge. I would rate his services as excellent in every way. I will continue to see him as a dentist and will send my friends and family to his office. read more

I absolutely loved the way Dr Perez worked on a few of my teeth. I was not able to eat or drink anything cold nor hot and I'm very glad to say that he fixed it and now I'm able to enjoy all my favorite cold and hot foods and drinks. Not only was he able to explain exactly why it happened or why it was happening. He also was able to show me with an animation. He was also very gentle while working on my teeth. He has made my dental experience very good. Also the staff is great. I will recommend him to anyone. read more

I had previously posted a review on this business after my first visit in which I was so impressed but now that I've actually had work done by Dentist I need everyone to know how I've been blown away in a very good way. Let me give a little history though, I had been a patient at a different dentistry office in Santa Maria for 20 years and was having a repetitive problem where fillings on my front teeth were breaking the next day after being done and that dentist had been saying it was my fault (as I was the only one that it was happening to). I had also been told by same office that stains on some of my molars were permanent and there was nothing to be done. Let me tell you!! Dr Perez at White Crest got rid of the stains (without me mentioning anything he saw the need & corrected it with a deep cleaning) my smile is so white and the best part is fillings he did have "NOT" broken!! AAAMAZING!!! read more

My husband and I recently moved to the Central Coast, looking for a dentist for extensive dental work for my husband we found Dr. Perez. Such a wonderful office, everyone in the office is so professional and explains each and every step in detail. Dr. Perez bedside manner is by far the best I've ever experienced! Not only is my husband pleased with his dentures, I also had extensive dental work done and highly recommend Dr. Perez to anyone looking for a excellent dentist! I suffer from severe anxiety when seeing by a dentist Dr. Perez and his staff made me feel very comfortable and my fear has subsided! Dr. Perez was very accommodating to our busy schedule even has Saturday openings! State of the art equipment and Dr. Perez is always learning more to make his patients experience relaxing and professional... by far the very best! Thank you everyone for such awesome service! Best on the Central Coast!!! read more
