The best dental experience I've had. The staff is amazing, friendly, and attentive. I went in for a consultation on a cosmetic procedure and was able to get it done the next day. They respond quickly and don't keep you waiting. Dr. Hlavaty was very professional and I am extremely satisfied with my smile. I highly recommend this place !!
Tiffany L.
Warm and welcoming office, with high regard for their clients. I have had bad experiences with SB dentists in the past, but this team is 10/10 for me!
Michael O.
What a great experience, and that's tough to say about going to the dentist 🤣🤣🤣. I had a dead tooth that need to be extracted. Was recommended to them by a friend. Talking to Vanessa at the front desk made the whole process easy, she explained everything to me in simple terms that I could understand. As far as the procedure it went better then I expected. Dr. Hlavaty made everything easy and procedure went quick and painless, go figure especially going to the dentist 🤣🤣. Definitely a great team and great environment, would recommend to everyone.

I suddenly had intense mouth pain near a tooth but I didn’t want to return to previous dentist and I have no dental insurance. Hlavaty (“rhymes with cavity”) Dental Arts got me an appointment next day. It was a bad infection and tooth had to come out- Vanessa- clearly explained seriousness of the infection. The dentist (Shawn) was very personable and quick and professional. The problem I had was the cost. To pull that tooth and get a bone graft was $1,500 which seemed reasonable, however he said I should get a replacement tooth which would be $10,000. So just think- we have 26 teeth…seems rather expensive to me. Also for 2 teeth cavities (one which needs a crown replacement according to them) I would have had to pay $235 for 2 years. Well I don’t make a large income so I ended up going to the American Indian dental instead as they go by income. More affordable for me.

I did not have to wait and the entire appointment was pleasant and quick. I am very happy with the results.
Anne S.
Both my son and I go to Dr Hlavaty, I can't say enough good things about the Dr and his amazing staff! Thank you for taking care of us!
Angelica R.
Thank the dental Gods! For Vanessa and the rest of the staff at Dr Hlavaty’s Office. From crippling pain and anxiety one hour to completely pain free and calm the next. So kind, sweet, gentle and efficient! I would recommend this office to everyone!! 💖 They were able to see me less than 24 hours after my call to complain! Worked wonders with my dental anxiety, and just all around amazing! 10🦷/10

I suddenly had intense mouth pain near a tooth but I didn’t want to return to previous dentist and I have no dental insurance. Hlavaty (“rhymes with cavity”) Dental Arts got me an appointment next day. It was a bad infection and tooth had to come out- Vanessa- clearly explained seriousness of the infection, the procedure and best plus alternative time lines and costs to me. There were also many ways to make payments made available to me so as to make it affordable. I was given another appointment for next day to have the infection treated and tooth extracted. Sheila took X-rays quickly and efficiently and was very kind -looking out for me to be as comfortable as possible. She also assisted with the surgery. Going in, I was really uptight about the surgery but I was relieved to discover I had nothing to worry about. Dr. Hlavaty was great- personable and down to earth which helped me relax and feel more secure and confident trusting him with my dental health. He was fast and the procedure went smoothly and much better and quicker than I imagined. Very happy with the results. Thanks so much to Dr. Hlavaty and his team for their expertise!

Having recently moved to Santa Barbara from LA I hadn't found a dentist yet but when a crown fell out they took me right away. The service was professional, not pushy, and I liked the vibe of the office and staff.

Melanie B.
Dr. Hlavaty and his staff are professional and very kind and caring. They make a point to make sure pain and anxiety is not a concern, your comfort is very important and is a tenant of his approach to dentistry and proof of his exceptional work ethic. His office is beautiful, calming, spotless and has all new state of the art equipment! He has done several procedures on my horrible teeth that I thought were a lost cause. I was hopeless and afraid that the entire process of fixing my many cracked, broken and completely decayed teeth would be painful, unaffordable, and endless. After my first visit I was so relieved and felt reassured. He clearly explained the stages of my treatment and helped me understand that my fears were valid. He encouraged me to ask him any questions or concerns along the way and we would be partners throughout the entire process. Dr. Hlavaty calmly informed me that he has seen it all, even worse cases than mine! He been in the profession for many years and has extensive expertise with all my ailments. He is careful in his planning of stages of treatment and ensures the best possible outcome with as few appointments as possible. He is diligent in following up after every visit! If I had any issues at all after my MANY procedures, Dr. Hlavaty would make sure I had sufficient medication for pain management during my short term discomfort and healing process. He also made sure my new implants were comfortable and told me if I needed any adjustments to make sure to contact his office. I am absolutely thrilled with his meticulous work fixing my old root canals and replacing them with new crowns! I will never go to a different dentist after this experience with Dr. Hlavaty and his staff. I wouldn't trust anyone else to care for my smile. I HIGHLY recommend him! I decided to post this picture of the results from my most recent visit a couple weeks ago. I am absolutely thrilled with the way my top teeth look! Can you believe these are just the temporaries? My permanent crowns will be ready in the next week or so. Wow, I am thrilled and so thankful. Already my friends and family have noticed the incredible improvement in my smile and have commented on the difference it had made in my appearance, mood and confidence.
Fabiana D.
Dr Hlavaty is amazing! He is knowledgeable and super capable. I know I am in good hands. I am also so impressed with his staff's professionalism. Incredible care all around!
Susan S.
Excellent Dentist, caring and wonderful staff! Best ever!

Antonio N.
I asked a friend that I was looking for a dentist and she told me about this dentist, Dr. Shawn Hlavaty, well make an appointment, the staff is very friendly and everything is fine. On the day of my appointment, I arrived and the Doctor treated me, everything was good and very professional. I recommend them and I know you won't regret it.
Jesse L.
Had a great experience getting my teeth cleaned. Everyone is so nice and they got me right in and out.

I saw Dr. Hlavaty for the first time for a cleaning 6 months ago after my regular dentist closed their doors. I was immediately impressed with the how clean and comfortable the office was. Everything seemed new and state of the art. Their staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and overall I had a very pleasant experience. Just this week I decided to go back in to see Dr. Hlavaty for a more in-depth procedure. A previous dentist had given me a filling in a back tooth that left a gap. For the past 5 or 6 years I have been needing to floss after every meal as to not allow food to get stuck which just kind of became my routine but all of that flossing caused damage to another tooth as well requiring a second filling. Because I have never been a huge fan of getting dental work done, I pushed it off for way too long. Dr. Hlavaty had me in and out feeling like the gap was never there. The doc and his assistant consistently checked in to make sure I was comfortable and fixed both teeth before I knew it. The process was quick and painless. I feel like in the future I will be far less hesitant to get dental work done because I know I now have a great dentist to rely on.
Bob F.
A truly knowledgeable and professional dentist, great caring staff and clean, beautiful office
Melissa P.
Dr. Hlavaty has been our family dentist for almost ten years now. He has been a trusted provider as we've navigated tricky cases for six children. I've come to trust him as the final word and opinion when it comes to our dental care. There is true care, integrity and quality in everything he does. As a family run business, I know I can count on them to handle emergencies and last minute requests. I highly trust and recommend their entire crew!
James K.
My family and I have seen Dr. Hlavaty for years, for all sorts of dental issues, from routine cleanings to cavities and crowns. Their office is state of the art and impeccably clean, the staff is courteous and professional, and Dr Hlavaty is without a doubt the best dentist we've ever seen. His depth of knowledge is apparent, and his technical execution of complex procedures is gentle, efficient and flawless. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Hlavaty, without reservation, and I trust him with all my family's dental needs.
Leslie H.
Dr. Hlavaty is the best dentist on either coast and everywhere in between. His professionalism, kindness, gentle touch and impressive education are unparalleled.

Melissa P.
Dr. Hlavaty is the best. He has been our provider for years and we trust him implicitly!
Robert B.
Honestly, when it comes to things for my home and the clothes I wear, I go to Marshalls and HomeGoods. When it comes to my health, I'm going to invest in someone who knows what they're doing. If you're expecting exceptional, quality care, you're going to get it...if you're also expecting the lowest prices...get real.
Greg S.
The best dentist I have been to. The whole staff was super friendly and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend Dr. Hlavaty and his staff Gloria and Lisa.
Teri A.
I had a great experience with Dr. Hlavaty and Lisa. I was visiting from out of town and I had a dental emergency and was in a lot of pain. They got me in the same morning I called. It turned out that I needed a tooth extraction and a bone graft, which is not a fun detour while traveling, but they were very friendly and helpful, making this bad situation so much better. Dr. Hlavaty was very skilled and transparent in his work. I’m grateful I was able to enjoy the rest of my trip. I highly recommend this practice!
Cara T.
A beautiful office with a thorough and gentle hygienist.

My experience at Hlavaty Dental Arts was completely different than all my previous dental visits. Highly recommend the office for your dental work. Feels like you’re at a spa not a dental office. Staff is very friendly and professional , and the technology it offers is beyond anything you can imagine. Complete smile makeovers with Opus Plasma a skin resurfacing regime to complete your treatments adding a youthful looking smile .

Not your typical Dentist office for sure. Very spa like & calming. Dr. Hlavaty is extremely knowledgeable, professional & personable. The staff is also very professional & make you feel at ease. Everything from a cleaning to an implant is relatively pain free. I absolutely recommend Dr. Hlavaty & his practice!
Thi H.
I found Dr. Hlavaty dental art through my client Lisa, who works there. I am so grateful. Thank you Lisa! This is honestly the best dentist I have ever been to. From the office staffs to the Doctor. Dr Hlavaty is like an artist, skilled, professional, explaining everything so thorough and he is personable. All the office staffs were friendly, caring, kind, taking time to answer questions diligently. The hygienist, Gloria, was nice, efficient and does very good work. The office is modern, clean, well appointed and feels almost more like a spa rather than Dr/ Dentist office. I could not stop talking about how wonderful experience that I have as a new patient. I definitely highly recommend Dr Hlavaty and his practice to all my clients, friends, family and to anyone seeking dental work. Dr Hlavaty is truly the best Dr.
Tanya C.
I have had bad teeth my whole life and have had to have extensive dental work many times which has made me extremely nervous and anxious with dentists. Dr Hlavaty and his help are so awesome!! I've had a ton of work with them and Dr Hlavaty and his staff are the best in their field and treat me so wonderful!!! The best dental office I've ever been to!!!! I would recommend Dr Hlavaty to anyone who needs any kind of dental work no matter how extensive!! I love my smile now thanks to them!!!
Renee P.
I would like to 1st Thank Lisa (friendly, helpful, outgoing beautiful smile, excellent customer service) for assisting me, working w/ me that worked w/ my schedule & getting me scheduled in as quickly as she did. I had an emergency w/ a small chipped tooth that desperately needed attending too. Gloria the Hygienist very kind & did the works (xrays, teeth cleaning & assisting Dr Hlavaty). Dr Hlavaty (excellent dentist) was able to take care & smooth out my tooth. Dr Hlavaty & staff are all so friendly, outgoiing, welcoming, & very helpful. They made me feel real comfortable & at ease. I just knew they would take very good care of me w/ my tooth. The office environment very welcoming, calm & mellow, very clean, soothing all around, TV, music, Oasis! If I stayed there long enough I probably would've feel asleep thinking I was at home. This is how comfortable & relaxed I was. All in all great experience! I give Dr Hlavaty & staff a thumbs up! 👍Time to refer others! Thank You Lisa Also, Lisa thank you for being my transportation & picking me up & taking me to my appointment w/ Dr Hlavaty!!! 😉🙏 Thank you for welcoming me; Dr Hlavaty, Lisa, Gloria, Araceli
Suzanne S.
We chose Dr. Hlavaty because we heard about his conservative approach. We came for a second opinion regarding urgency for braces. Dr. Hlavaty’s assessment was thoughtful and he showed us the wear patterns guiding his recommendations. Trust is a quality practitioner is paramount. Strongly recommend.
Fiona S.
A professional, thorough, and friendly practice. I was impressed with the time Dr. Hlavaty took to explain what was needed (and just as importantly, what was not) for my dental care, and was extremely pleased with the work carried out. I highly recommend him and all his staff.
Dynamite G.
I love the way Dr. Hllavaty assesses and treats patients. He takes a conservative approach that feels like the way it SHOULD be done. Will be going back continually
Linda W.
Dr. Hlavaty has been my dentist for years. He is always kind and honest about what treatments and options are available for my teeth. I have dentist anxiety and have a lot issues with my teeth. He has helped me get my mouth back in order and my smile back. He was able to save some of my teeth and my crowns look amazing. His new office is beautiful and the staff is so caring and friendly. I highly recommend Dr. Hlavaty and will come back soon for another implant and because of him, I am no longer scared to go to the dentist
Stephen D.
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
