Smiles by Dr. Santos

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dr. Paul Santos and his entire dental office. From the moment you walk in, you’re treated with kindness, professionalism, and genuine care. Everyone goes out of their way to make you feel comfortable and at ease. I recently had a root canal, and like most people, I was extremely anxious and emotional going into it. Dr. Santos and his assistant, Danielle, were truly amazing. They took such incredible care of me, explained everything along the way, and somehow managed to make me laugh at a moment when I honestly just wanted to cry. Their compassion and sense of humor made all the difference. It’s rare to find a dental office where you feel this supported and cared for as a person, not just a patient. Dr. Santos and his team consistently go above an

The staff at Dr. Santos is amazing. My son does Not love going to the dentist but Joan is amazing with him. She has a ton of patience and answers all Of his questions. We switched from a pediatric dentist because I was tired of the ride, I was hesitant to change but they have taken great care of my son.

I was a patient of Dr. Santos when he was with Luxe Dental Spa in Oakhurst. Then, one day I went in for my appointment and was told Dr. Santos was no longer there, he left to focus on his practice in Manahawkin. At that point, I was extremely disappointed as a patient of his I wasn’t notified that he would not be there any longer. I stayed with Luxe Dental Spa for a bit, then decided I wanted to see Dr Santos again. It took months and months to get there as a new patient that in between I had to go to another dentist. The Manahawkin location has appointments six months out for a cleaning. If you go for a cleaning every four months like I do you have to always make sure that have your next upcoming two appointment scheduled in advance. God forbid that you have to reschedule a cleanin

Dr. Marina Salib is amazing at this office! Super kind, compassionate, and gentle. Especially for someone like me who has a lot of dental anxiety. She takes the time to explain everything to you honestly and without judgment. She is the dentist I’ve been searching for. I finished my treatment plan and she told me she was proud of me for facing my fears. Dentists need to know how much that makes a difference to a scared patient. The dental assistant and the front desk staff are also super awesome! Highly recommend.

Smiles by Dr.Santos is not the dentist to go to. I am only 19 and he has brushed off every cavity in my mouth until it has to become a root canal. Most recently I have had really bad nerve pain from my tooth to my jaw so I went to see him in the office and Dr.Santos just figured he would keep brushing it off by giving me antibiotics, he said it was nothing to worry about. The pain kept getting worse and so I decided to see another dentist and the small cavity that was getting put aside, is actually a huge a cavity was able to get saved and filled. If I were to put it off any longer like he was insisting I do, I could’ve lost the tooth and it would have caused even more nerve and jaw numbness. In the picture is the cavity before we drilled into it and got it filled and once we drilled into
