- Valerie l.The staff is great, very sweet people. The dr is professional and friendly. I’m so grateful for the people here. My smile was something I always hid and lived so long with that I actually forgot how to smile. After a few appointments with this place I can happily say that I smile all the time without shame.read moreread lessFabiola 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 less
