Review Dental Services

Our Santa Barbara dental team is here to make your visit to the dentist as comfortable as possible. You’ll experience a caring atmosphere, with state-of-the-art equipment, educational media, and understanding professionals…all in the heart of Santa Barbara. We help you make informed decisions about your dental treatment.

Teeth Cleaning

Regular dental cleanings by your dental hygienist are an important part of your preventive dental care.

These cleanings remove the build up of plaque and tartar (calculus deposits). Cavity producing bacteria thrive in these areas of plaque and tartar, so it is important that they be removed.

Dental Implants

Whether you’re missing one tooth or more, dental implants are the only tooth replacement option that incorporates every aspect of your mouth into treatment.

Dr. Carley and our team work closely with patients to help them achieve a strong, beautiful smile with dental implants and implant-supported bridges and dentures.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Dr. Carley is experienced in creating a natural-looking smile by correcting flaws which might include dull, stained or crooked teeth, slight imperfections such as gaps, or full mouth reconstruction resulting from accidents, lifestyle or disease.

Sedation Dentistry

We help you choose which sedation method you are most comfortable with. Utmost in your mind must be the concern over whether the various forms of dental sedation are safe, and we cover this fully with you.

Sedation dentistry is both safe and effective when properly administered, and Dr. Carley is certified by the California Dental Board in Oral Conscious Sedation. His years of experience allows him to safely administer all forms of dental sedation safely, including the use of both oral and intravenous sedatives for dental treatments.

Oral Surgery

Dentistry has changed a lot in the last few years. Today, removing a tooth requires less force and bone preservation techniques are utilized, all of which causes less pain.

These new techniques also make it easier to place implants, bridges or dentures, immediately, or in the future. 

Kids Dentistry

Looking for a children’s dentist in Santa Barbara that serves the whole family?

We offer a calm and relaxing atmosphere to start children as young as toddlers off with regular checkups necessary for a lifetime of good dental hygiene.

Emergency Dental

Emergency dental problems such as toothaches or injuries to the teeth or gums, can be serious and should not be ignored.

If you are patient experiencing a dental emergency outside of normal office hours, please call Dr. Carley’s office at 805-316-3821.

Teeth Whitening

Is there anything better than a bright and white smile?  How lucky we are to live in a time that cosmetic dentistry and teeth whitening can provide us one in so little time and at such an affordable cost.

Teeth Whitening is not just for the young, either, as many older Americans are working longer and finding that whiter teeth can give them a more youthful appearance. This has to be an area of dentistry that people find fascinating and not at all frightening- whiter teeth in about an hour.  Is it right for you?

Laser Frenotomy

Perhaps one of the most significant uses for a laser in dentistry is in performing a frenotomy. This is a highly specialized procedure performed to loosen a fold of tissue called the frenum. In tongue tied babies, this fold is too tight to allow full movement of the tongue necessary to allow the baby to latch on for nursing, and if left untreated can result in speech impediments later in life.

Dentures

Whether you’re missing one tooth or more, dental implants are the only tooth replacement option that incorporates every aspect of your mouth into treatment.

Dr. Carley and our team work closely with patients to help them achieve a strong, beautiful smile with dental implants and implant-supported bridges and dentures.
