Welcome to a new kind of dental practice. A place where your time with us is professional, uncomplicated, and even a bit relaxing. A setting where you’re given the individual attention and care you deserve in order to create the beautiful smile you’ve always wanted. If you are looking for a modern approach to dentistry with a personal touch, check out Hlavaty Dental Arts. Its about re-defining dentistry as we know it, with a beautiful, spa-like atmosphere, comfortable environment, and cutting-edge technology.
Dr. Shawn Hlavaty has always believed the patient experience should come first—but noticed that it tends to be an afterthought at many practices these days. That’s why he opened Hlavaty Dental Arts: to bring high quality patient care that caters to your needs, whether you’re with us for simple preventive cleanings & x-rays, or needing advanced reconstructive treatments, or cosmetic & aesthetic procedures. He wanted to create something new, from the moment you walk in the door, until the time your treatment is complete.

Top-rated Santa Barbara dentist
Dr. Shawn Hlavaty
Dr. Shawn Hlavaty is pleased to bring his passion for helping patients achieve beautiful smiles to the Santa Barbara, Montecito, Goleta and Summerland areas. A graduate of the New York University College of Dentistry, he’s always loved connecting with patients and partnering with them to create the smile they’ve always wanted. Specializing in implants, reconstructive cases, and cosmetic work, Dr. Shawn Hlavaty brings precision and a builder’s eye (he was a landscape architect in another life, after all) to each appointment—along with a firm belief that the patient experience should be prioritized above all else. He’s thrilled to open his own practice where he can create the dental environment his patients deserve.
"The thing I love about dentistry is that every patient is different, every case poses different challenges. It allows me to make connections with people on a daily basis and I provide a service that can have a huge positive impact on a person's quality of life."
-Dr. Shawn Hlavaty
Dental Implants & implant reconstruction
From replacing a single tooth, to rebuilding an entire jaw, dental implants have become the new 'standard of care' for replacing missing teeth.
From single tooth implants to full-arch hybrid ceramic bridgework, Dr. Hlavaty specializes in creating the right implant treatment, customized to fit each patient’s needs.
Bone Grafting & tissue regeneration
Bone grafting is used to rebuild the bone of the jaw, repairing damage due to infections or tooth loss. It is used to maximize the bony foundation for dental implants, ensuring there’s enough healthy bone for the implant to be secure and natural-looking for years & years.

Sometimes a tooth may need to come out if it is too severely damaged to restore. In these cases, our team keeps you as comfortable as possible and you work with Dr. Hlavaty to find the restorative solutions that are best for you & your smile.

Testimonies
Very good experience here, office was mellow, relaxing, and staff was amazing from the minute I was greeted by front desk and spoke with hygienist to when dr. Hlavaty was extracting my wisdom tooth. This is hard for me to say especially since I have anxiety with dentist and have had bad experience with other dentist. Here I had none of that and they worked with me the whole way through knowing my level of anxiety associated with my past experiences. Highly recommend

I had the best experience at a dental office. Staff extremely professional, spacious office, calm environment, and an amazing capable dentist. I felt not only in good hands but also very relaxed and comfortable.

Saw me on a emergency referral. Made the pain go away and also handled my less than capable pharmacist to make sure i got my meds. Couldn't sing his praises enough.

Gloria diligently remove years of plaque buildup. Thank you! Shawn is first dentist to offer me a solution for a gap in my back teeth that always traps food. Love the TV on the ceiling! Beautiful new office, great team.
