Services
Our dedicated team of dentists, hygienists, and admin professionals serve the California Central Coast communities in Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and Monterey counties through our offices in Santa Maria, San Luis Obispo, and King City.

Preventive Dentistry is the overall practice of caring for teeth and gums and maintaining healthy oral hygiene. At Friendly Smiles Dental, we continuously encourage our patients to develop good oral hygiene habits such as brushing their teeth at least twice a day and flossing after every meal.

This simple yet effective practice promotes good oral health, lowers the risk of developing cavities and gum disease, and is key to having a beautiful smile.Like many other health conditions, early detection of oral disease is crucial to overall health and well being.
Dental care requires a preventive program and cooperative effort by the patient, dentist, and dental staff to preserve the natural dentition and supporting structures by preventing the onset, progress, and recurrence of dental diseases and conditions. Preventing dental disease starts at home with good oral hygiene and a balanced diet.
Our professional teeth cleanings (dental prophylaxis) are performed by Registered Dental Hygienists. Removal of calculus (tartar): Calculus is hardened plaque that has been left on the tooth for some time and is now firmly attached to the tooth surface. Calculus forms above and below the gum line and can only be removed with special dental instruments.
Dental x-rays are essential, preventative, diagnostic tools that provide valuable information not visible during a regular dental exam. Dentists and dental hygienists use this information to safely and accurately detect hidden dental abnormalities and complete an accurate treatment plan. Without x-rays, problem areas may go undetected.

The dentist office is good and bad, some know what they are doing and explain what they are doing and help you feel comfortable, others try to get you to pay for something you don't need done.

The dental team was nice. That's my only positive comment about this place. I waited an hour before being called back for my appointment after arriving 15 minutes early. The dentist was so rude and refused to help me with any of my dental issues. Wow

Dr k is the worst Dentist I've ever had sorry to say. Staff was so friendly and accommodating when I left crying. Didn't get any after care whatsoever and they removed 4 teeth.

This is the worst dentist I have ever been too. If I could give 0 starts I would. I went in for a simple extraction of one of my top wisdom teeth. Mind you it is completely grown out. Dr. Z was very rough, would not wait when I asked him to and gave me attitude because he hurt me, and left me with blood all over my face when I left his office. Needless to say I will never be going back there again. My jaw has never hurt this bad before

I dislike the dentist office since I was a little kid. As an adult I have NEVER been to a better office. The experience was over the top between the staff and the drs. It was welcoming and inviting. It put me at ease
from the moment I walked in.

I got a filling in yesterday and went back to get it fixed today. Instead of fixing it to my likings, the dentist told me to just not pay attention to it. So I leave and call the office for a different dentist because that is just unacceptable. I go back in and and this dentist fixes it for me and has me out within 5 minutes. As I walk out into the lobby, I hear the front desk lady ask my dental assistant if there was anything to even be fixed?!? I was shocked she even had to ask that. Who goes back into a dentist to get their teeth drilled just for fun?? They are just rude and have no consideration
