Patient-Centered Root Canal Treatment Technology
Our commitment to patient-centered care led us to adopt the GentleWave® Technology, aiming to revolutionize root canal treatment (RCT) for enhanced efficacy, efficiency, and patient comfort. Traditional RCT methods, reliant on manual files, often fall short in reaching complex root canal anatomy, leaving behind infected tissue and bacteria, and risking reinfection —the top factor compromising root canal treatment success rate.
Saving Your Natural Tooth with GentleWave® Procedure
The GentleWave Procedure adopts a minimally invasive approach, reducing reliance on manual instrumentation. Instead, it harnesses a potent combination of procedure fluids and acoustic energy, forming a powerful vortex that thoroughly cleanses even the most intricate parts of the root canal system.

A New Standard in Cleaning
Through multistage optimization, the procedure fluids are energized and propelled throughout the root canal system, effectively eliminating infected tissue, debris, and bacteria. This comprehensive cleaning promotes faster healing and sets a new benchmark for root canal therapy.
How Does the GentleWave® Procedure Differ from Other Root Canal Options?

Understanding Biofilm: A Hidden Threat to Dental Health
BIOFILM IS BAD
Biofilm is a complex community of microorganisms, such as bacteria, that adhere to surfaces and form a protective matrix, making them highly resistant to antimicrobial agents and immune responses.
Dental biofilm is insidious. You can’t see it. You can’t smell it. You can’t feel it. But it is the main cause of tooth decay (caries), gum disease (periodontitis) and even tooth loss.
GUIDED BIOFILM THERAPY identifies biofilm and thoroughly removes it.

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 less

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 less
