I have found that I am most happy when I am able to be creative and achieve excellence-and when I can please others (make them happy, make them smile, make them laugh). I am profoundly thankful that practicing dentistry has allowed me, daily, to realize these principles while creating relationships with so many wonderful people.

Dr. Crawford is a very skilled dentist that does beautiful work. He treats his patients with a great deal of respect. It is a very low stress environment, which eases much of the anxiety associated with a dental visit. Sloane is a very attentive and responsive office manager that is willing to work around your schedule. All of the dental assistants are very skilled, and always make sure your dental work is done in the most comfortable, pain-free manner possible. But the most important thing about Dr. Crawford's office is that the work is top class. After having several dentists pitch me their

My family and I all see Dr. Crawford and couldn't be happier with the quality of service that he and his staff provide. The front office and hygenists are great to work with and make going to the dentist a pleasurable experience -- definitely something I never thought I'd write or say about dental visits. Our kids don't even mind going to the dentist.
We've lived in a number of different cities which has led to having several different dentists. Dr. Crawford and his staff are, by far, the best we've ever had. We highly recommend Dr. Crawford to anyone looking for a dentist.

Dr. Crawford did 8 implants in my lower teeth and veneer all my upper teeth. Can't not tell you how happy i am after he did both procedures.Gave me a new look. He was great in explaining in detail the different procedures he was going to do
In my opinion and due to the results of his work Dr Crawford is highly professional and have no problem recommending him for his work he perform on my teeth. Thank you Dr. Paul Crawford

I postponed my dental work for several years, and now I wish I had gone ahead and done it much sooner. I wouldn't have trusted any other dentist in town with this procedure - I now have six veneers, a whole new smile, and the results look/feel amazing! Dr. Crawford is very thorough (a perfectionist, really - which I absolutely appreciate). He took the time to explain his findings, offer several different options, and gave his advice on the best plan (several times and even taking the time to meet with my husband as well, to bring him up to speed). His office is warm and comforting (I would

I absolutely love the service and professionalism of the whole office! Sloan has impeccable knowledge and always makes scheduling so easy for my whole family. I dint enjoy being in the dentist chair but always find myself at ease with the headphones and iPad . Sandra always greets me with a smile and Renee keeps my whole family's teeth in perfect heath! I highly recommend Dr. Crawford for any dental need!

I urge you to go elsewhere. Have had horrific experiences here in both veneer installs and post op pain. which he will not take responsibility for. he is a fair weather doctor and I'm sure there have been good cases coming out of here but god forbid you are the one he messes up and refuses to take responsibility for. the character of a person isn't built upon mistakes or hardships but revealed during those hard times. To see a detailed review of my experience with this practice please check my yelp review.
TLDR; Horse teeth and lots of post op pain due to ill fitting teeth.

Having recently moved to Santa Barbara, my priority was to find a competent and trustworthy dentist; this turned out to be a far more daunting task than anticipated, with many 'false starts' and stressful experiences- until a friend referred me to Dr.Crawford. From the outset,
Dr. Crawford's reassuring and highly professional manner put me at ease as he explained, every step of the way, the optimal dental plan for me. Moreover, his extremely friendly and accommodating office staff help to make the experience a pleasant one. I can highly recommend Dr. Crawford to anyone who is looking

I have gone to several dental offices in my life time and have had many experiences both good and bad, but my experiences with Dr. Crawford and his team have been exceptional! Dr. Crawford 's practice is professional, clean and trustworthy. Dr Crawford treats my whole family including my three small children, no need for pediatric dentist here! I have always received great care with exceptional results. I have had several involved treatments including a front tooth implant which required collaboration with a local surgeon and even a visit to his lab to match the color perfectly! I am very

Our family of 6 are patients of Dr. Crawford and I am thrilled with both his work and the service from his staff! I give the whole team a big 5 stars! We are always greeted with personal care and timeliness on the appts. Dr Crawford is excellent with my kids(ages 10-17) and takes extra time to make sure they are comfortable and have a great experience. iPads ready to go, super comfy chairs and a beautiful clean office are just the extras that ease any "dental anxiety". I also just finished the process of getting front veneers; they are beautifully designed and look just like natural teeth

Dr. Crawford provides stellar service with exceptional results. His work is impeccable which is why so many are referred to his practice.
On a side note ( but a very important one)...... his office staff, office manager and assistant are remarkable! I ( like most) am not a fan of visiting the dentist for check-up's or restorative work, but the first face that you see when you walk into his office is one holding a gorgeous smile and always ready and willing to accommodate my needs in the best way possible!!
Thank you Dr. Crawford and his amazing team!!

Myself & family have been seeing Dr. Crawford for over 10 years now and while going to the dentist is not something we all might look forward to, 5 stars are in order. From the regular cleanings and check-ups to some really special inlay gold work, Dr. Crawford has performed fantastic dentistry.
A recent implant that was very complicated was handled with complete professionalism as the tooth was fused to my lower jaw and required some creative solutions between Dr. Crawford and the periodontist. While the procedure took longer than normal, everything was explained clearly, and the end result

TLDR; Horse teeth, ill fitting bite, and lots of tooth pain now. *root canal in future*
Where do I begin? Dr. Paul Crawford came highly recommended by local doctors in the area. But my experience has been far from stellar. How we treat people when things go wrong is the true judge of character and a medical practice. If I could go back in time and start over with another doctor, I would. But alas whats done is done and I'm stuck here writing this review. First when I consulted with the doctor, I mentioned I was concerned about some of the photos he showed me of

When I moved from San Francisco to Santa Barbara almost two years ago, I asked my then dentist to recommend a dentist in Santa Barbara. She gave me two names, and I chose Dr. Crawford which turned out to be a very lucky choice. During my first appointment I learned that I needed several new crowns. I also wanted new upper veneers. I am completely satisfied with all the dental work that he has done for me since I have moved here, and I am especially happy with my beautiful new veneers. Going forward, I have total confidence in Dr. Crawford's decisions about any procedures that I may need

I can't say enough good things about this office. My daughter has always been terrified of the dentist. The whole office made her feel so comfortable, she actually looks forward to her next appointment. They offer nitrous oxide witch has helped her tremendously. I would definitely recommend this office to my friends and family.

I can not say enough good things about Dr Crawford and his staff. Everything about his office is state of the art and his knowledge is exceptional. From getting your teeth cleaned to large dental procedures you can not find anyone better! Sloan at the front desk is wonderful and always so helpful with billing and appointments. Save yourself time and use the best. Call and get an appointment and be amazed at what you've been missing!!

I came to Dr. Crawford after consulting several different dentists about the issues I was having with my mouth. I couldn't chew food in certain areas of my mouth without being very sensitive, I lost confidence in my smile due to missing teeth, and my mouth was affecting my stomach and my diet on a daily basis.
All of the input I received from the other dentists seemed very hopeless, and none of them said they would be able to help me. When I called and spoke to Dr. Crawford about my issues I was having, he listened, scheduled a meeting to assess my mouth, and followed up with some options
