General Dentistry Services
Basic dental needs should never be overlooked as neglect may result in permanent damage to the teeth and gums. In addition, tooth decay and other oral diseases may leave you with a broken and unsightly smile.
Dentists in Santa Barbara and Goleta suggest at least two dental checkups yearly to ensure oral health and wellness. Dr. Carley’s office offers dentistry services that are geared towards the following objectives:
- Prevention of dental conditions such as dental caries or tooth decay
- Diagnosis of oral problems such as tooth sensitivity, TMJ, bad breath, cavities, and gum disease
- Treatment of common and advanced dental issues such as tooth decay, periodontal disease, tooth erosion, toothache, dry mouth, and wisdom tooth pain or crowding
- Treatment of missing teeth or conversion of an old fashioned denture to a modern implant retained hybrid
- “Lifelike” implant teeth
Although the dental conditions mentioned above only affect a small area of the body and are only concentrated within the oral cavity, the accompanying signs and symptoms are unpleasant, nonetheless. A minor toothache caused by cavities decreases one’s sense of well being, which in turn can negatively affect one’s daily functioning as well.

Dr. Carley, together with his reliable staff, is highly skilled in the operation of diagnostic equipment which results in speedy, accurate, and effective treatment of dental problems.
