Dr. Copeland is truly the best! I am amazed at how she and her office team can make what could be a scary or painful procedure be calming and simple. From the dental practitioners to the admin team the entire office at Whole Health Dentistry is knowledgeable, nice, and friendly while also educating you to learn more about your teeth and whole health! After years of having a mouth full of pain, and serious fears of dentists, I can finally smile with confidence. I am so grateful to have found Dr. Copeland and recommend her to all my family and friends. Dr. Copeland is one of the kindest Dentists

Everyone at Whole Health Dentistry is wonderful. I had had a great deal of dental pain, including tmj after another dentist did not listen to me. Dr. Copeland is such a great listener , it took a while but I am so much better now. Soft, or flexible night-guards (Lacey is amazing making these), holistic injections, and excellent treatments have made a huge difference in my life. I absolutely recommend Whole Health dentistry. Oh yes, dental cleaning has never been so well done here. A holistic practice is absolutely different than any other, positive all around
Five stars!

Love seeing Dr. C, Lindsey and the rest of the staff. They have taken good care of my teeth and recommended that I get braces which was the best thing I ever did. Other dentists didn't mention braces at all. Dr. Copeland treats her patients as the whole person not just the teeth. The office amd dental assistance are kind and caring just like Dr. C herself. I look forward going to the dentist!

I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Copeland for any dentistry need. The office was great and offered a lot of options for both my daughter and I; however, even though being an established patient for over a year, I haven't been able to get a call back or a cleaning appointment since November of 2019. Yes you read that correctly, November 2019. I have left countless messages, I have contacted their emergency line, I have emailed, I contacted their Facebook page, I even requested an appointment through their "request an appointment" portal.... I even went as far as having the orthodontist

Great first visit. For a variety of reasons, I hadn't been to the dentist in 2.5 years and was pretty nervous to go. I was pretty excited when I learned that we have a holistic dentist in Santa Barbara. Dr. Copeland (and her assistant) was extremely thorough and kind. My teeth cleaning with Lindsey was also positive. I was a bit confused about the division of Whole Health Dentistry and BOCA, but it didn't impact my experience at all. The office is VERY clean and Elliot at the front is helpful and warm. I feel confident that I'll be receiving quality care at this office.

Dr. Copeland and her staff are the best! She is the dentist for our whole family (3 kids and 2 adults). Appointments are easy to book and she always seems to be running on time. She provides realistic and conservative treatment plans and does NOT pad the bill with unnecessary procedures. From her routine preventative care to her aesthetic/cosmetic procedures she is effective. Each visit always goes better than expected. Her chair-side and front desk staff are very helpful and efficient. Sometimes dentistry can cause anxiety and we have found her bedside manner puts us at ease.

Because of Dr. Cynthia Copeland, I no longer fear going to the dentist anymore. I originally came to her office to see if she could help me remove several amalgam fillings that were causing my teeth to fall apart along with several other issues.
I was nervous the first time I walked in because I had been avoiding the dentist for some time and I was afraid she would judge me because of the poor state of my dental health. The exact opposite occurred. Dr Copeland is by far one of the most intelligent and compassionate people I have ever met. She took the time to explain my x-rays and meticulously

I just had my amalgam fillings removed today and Dr. Copeland and Marina did it safely and meticulously. I couldn't believe how quick and comfortable the whole process was. When I was weighing my options of whether to have the procedure, the office wasn't pushy and I felt Dr. Copeland gave me her honest opinion from a health perspective rather than a business standpoint. The price per filling isn't cheap, but more reasonable than other places where I felt less comfortable. After the procedure, Dr. Copeland gives you a moist warm towel to wipe your face with-- a small, but very nice

I only have one word, WOW! Dr. Cynthia Copeland goes above and beyond when it comes to dental work. She puts the patient's comfort first and always lays out all of the options and suggests which is best. Today, she restored a couple of teeth of mine that were smaller than they should have been. They look amazing! It is great to have a fuller smile. Another thing I must mention is her witty sense of humor that kept me laughing, even when she was working on my teeth (then I had to laugh inside). Thank you Cynthia for a smile that will last me a lifetime. You're the best!

Absolutely the best Dentist I have ever been to. Dr. Copeland is the most thorough and health conscious Dentist you could ask for. She not only thinks about your teeth, but takes into account how everything in your body is connected, and affected by your dental work. I am now living in Berkeley and still come to Dr. Copeland if possible for my dental work to be taken care of. Great, great, staff as well. I have the highest regard for Whole Health Dentistry, and all the staff working there.
