Dentists near Los Osos

“First time patient and had a wonderful experience. Lars and his staff were friendly and supportive. They communicated well and made me feel very safe. I look forward to continue being a patient at Mar Vista Dental.“

“Excellent experience at Dr. De Graw's dental office. Professional, courteous, painless work with clear, concise explanations.
I'll be back.“

“DDS Kobliska is wonderfully kind knowledgeable. I highly recommend this office. They were transparent and gave me options for a crown and filling“

“Dr. Radford is a gem, rescuing us on a Sunday, right before a big trip! She was kind and knowledgeable, patient and forward thinking. I appreciated the care she poured into her craft. 10/10 would recommend to anyone!
Was recommended by multiple people in the area and it’s obvious why.“

“Highly recommend – wonderful care during our honeymoon!

My wife Julia and I were on our honeymoon in Morro Bay when she unfortunately broke a filling. We were a bit stressed, but from the very first second the entire team at Dr. Ryan Garcia’s office made us feel incredibly welcome and at ease.

Everyone was so friendly, kind, and professional. Dr. Garcia himself was fantastic. He took his time, explained everything clearly, and made sure Julia felt completely comfortable throughout the treatment. The procedure was much more pleasant than we expected, and the new filling has been holding perfectly.

We are so grateful for the excellent care we received, especially while being abroad. It turned a stressful situation into a really positive experience. Thank you Dr. Garcia, April, and the whole team – we couldn’t recommend you highly enough! Julia & Moritz“

“I read the mostly good—with a few outliers—reviews before I came in. I chose to come
in. Good call.

Here’s the thing about Dr. Taylor: he’s not unfocused or cold, he’s a laser. He chitchats. He tells stories. He just does it while also running the most efficient, intentional dental appointment I’ve ever had. If you’re used to dentists who meander, he might feel abrupt. He’s not. He’s just already three steps ahead of you.

I have MCAS, EDS, POTS, a TBI, and a dental trauma history long enough to wallpaper his beautiful, comfortable office with. He didn’t blink. He used clove oil instead of Orajel, skipped the epinephrine, used BPA-free materials — without me having to beg or explain. First dental appointment in my adult life I didn’t spend the next week recovering from. For a mast cell patient, that’s not a minor detail. That’s the whole game.

He is deeply focused on consent — he tells you what he’s going to do before he does it, every time, without exception. If you have dental trauma, that matters more than almost anything else. I felt safe enough that I nearly fell asleep during dental work performed without anesthesia! After years of being drugged or panic attacking at the dentist, I didn’t know that was possible for me.

He also told me unprompted that he was sorry I have to live inside my body. I’ve been navigating complex chronic illness for decades. No doctor has ever said that to me, including my amazing complex chronic health specialist of 6 years. That’s not bad bedside manner. That’s the real thing.

On pricing: I’ve had my entire mouth redone five times over thirty years up and down California and in Portland. His rates run maybe thirty to fifty dollars more per procedure than you’d find elsewhere — that’s it. He doesn’t take insurance, which is a real barrier, but I think that’s less about money and more about not wanting billing bureaucracy to get between him and giving his clients actual quality care. He keeps his profit margins low. He’s not upselling you. He’s doing what’s best for your mouth, which in the long run costs you less.

Ruby at the front desk is a gem, truly taking her time to meet your scheduling needs. His choice of music is amazing, as is his book collection. The dental chairs are incredibly comfortable when they usually hurt my neck. The office feels like somewhere you’d actually want to be, which is not something I’ve ever said about a dentist’s office.

Come here. Especially if your medical history is complicated. Especially then. He can handle it with grace and precision.“
