Hlavaty Dental Arts

DO NOT GO HERE I went to this dentist with a perfectly healthy mouth — no pain, no problems. During my visit, they told me I had several cavities that needed to be filled. I trusted their judgment and went ahead with the procedures, but that turned out to be a huge mistake. Ever since they worked on my teeth, I’ve been in excruciating pain. I went back multiple times hoping they would help, but instead, they refused to take any responsibility. They told me it was my fault and refused to fix the damage they caused. They didn’t offer any refund, repair, or compensation of any sort. It’s been over a year now, and my teeth and pain have only gotten worse. Save yourself the pain, money, and frustration — DO NOT GO HERE.

Dr. Hlavaty and his staff are professional and very kind and caring. They make a point to make sure pain and anxiety is not a concern, your comfort is very important and is a tenant of his approach to dentistry and proof of his exceptional work ethic. His office is beautiful, calming, spotless and has all new state of the art equipment! He has done several procedures on my horrible teeth that I thought were a lost cause. I was hopeless and afraid that the entire process of fixing my many cracked, broken and completely decayed teeth would be painful, unaffordable, and endless. After my first visit I was so relieved and felt reassured. He clearly explained the stages of my treatment and helped me understand that my fears were valid. He encouraged me to ask him any questions or concerns al

There office staff Vanessa and Shawn And of course the Dr Hlavaty were superb in a very difficult situation I was in. Gentle, knowledgeable, competent and of course compassionate and patient. I have found my new Dentist now. Thank you from all of me and my family!!!

Emergency repair done quickly and well. Offices have Many screens to distract which is a good addition. A little pricey but this IS Santa barbara , George H.
