PATIENCE WITH ME AND MY TEETH My experience with this team of dentists was great and I don't want to keep it to myself. my teeth were years without maintenance, they deteriorated with some cavities and some old root canals The WHITE CREST team guided me through the procedure and with their modern technology they found and solved all my denture problems.

- Tiffany G.First off, let me begin by saying I NEVER write reviews -- but after my experience with Dr. Perez, I felt it was the only right thing to do seeing as he has changed my outlook on dentists all together. Dr. Perez is the BEST dentist in the Central Coast-- not just for people who are VERY fearful of getting dental work done like myself, but also because he is a grade A professional at his craft. I Went into his office and was greeted by a very friendly staff and felt comfortable through the entire process. He knew I had a fear from a past experience so he talked me through the whole thing and the remaining staff accommodated relaxing music, essential oils, and a positive energy presence . They are extremely flexible with my work schedule when making appointments and much more. I am very blessed to have found such a wonderful Dentist locally. I look forward to my next appointment!read moreread lessPete A.I am glad I found this office. Whitecrest is the best dental office I've been, ever. Dr. Perez is very kind and he took good care of me.

- Fabiola V.Staff is super friendly and professional. I’m so glad I discovered Dr. Raul’s office. I took my mom for an emergency and they made space to see us immediately, when in Santa Maria we visited more than 5 dentists without success. When I saw the job and attention on my mom I made a schedule for myself. The doctor and his assistant talk you through the procedure while working on you and ask you if you’re feeling okay and make sure you’re doing good. They take all the safety measures, even checking your pressure before the anesthesia, and show you educational videos on how to take care of your teeth at the end of your visit. The doctor and office staff are bilingual and talk Spanish. Now all my family is coming to White Dentistry! 100000 stars!!read moreread lessMelissa V.I cannot say enough incredible things about this dentistry. Staff and Dr are very welcoming and kind. I have had no problems getting appointments scheduled within a reasonable time. Dr and staff always ensure I am well-informed and try to get the most out of my insurance. I have had a lot of fear from past dental experiences, but the approach of this office to their care is genuine. I definitely recommend their services.read moreread less
