Check out our offices

Serving Santa Barbara and Goleta families.

Both locations offer the same high standard of care, team philosophy, and patient experience—just in a more convenient location depending on where you live.

Our board-certified pediatric dentists go beyond dental care alone. They merge cutting-edge clinical expertise with a compassionate, child-focused philosophy—delivering an experience that's reassuring, uplifting, and customized for every young patient. Each aspect, from our setting to our communication style, works together to foster trust, self-assurance, and lasting oral wellness.

We suggest bringing your child in for their initial appointment around age one or once their first tooth comes in. These early checkups enable us to track their oral development, provide guidance on prevention strategies, and help them become familiar with the dental environment right from the start.

We start with each child at their current level. Our skilled team has expertise across all personality types and employs a gentle, reassuring method to create an environment where children feel secure and empowered. When extra assistance is needed, we provide thoughtfully chosen sedation alternatives designed to make the experience as pleasant as possible.

Absolutely. We offer a variety of safe, developmentally suitable sedation choices for young patients experiencing anxiety or needing extensive dental work. We'll thoroughly explain each option and develop a customized approach that ensures both their comfort and wellbeing.

We accept a wide range of dental insurance plans and are committed to helping you fully understand and leverage your benefits. Since coverage differs by plan, our team will walk you through your individual coverage details and share transparent pricing information prior to any treatment.

No referral is needed. You’re welcome to schedule directly with our office at any time.

Absolutely. Our Goleta team is experienced in caring for children with a wide range of physical, developmental, behavioral, and medical needs, and we are proud to offer an inclusive, adaptable environment where every child is welcomed and supported. We offer a full range of sedation options for children who need additional support, and we encourage families to call us ahead of the appointment so we can prepare accordingly and tailor the experience to your child's specific needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Don't just take our word for it.

See what families are saying

Dr. Annie is a miracle worker. Our toddler absolutely fought us when it came to teeth brushing, but Dr. Annie had him completely cooperative within just a few minutes with fun kid-friendly techniques. She took the time to explain how to take the techniques home and how to build good habits to set him up for life. We are so grateful! 

Taryn Martin

Dr. Hannah and the entire staff were amazing—from the scheduling process to the actual appointment. I’ve never experienced a practice that so thoughtfully took my daughter’s temperament into consideration. They truly went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable, which resulted in a very successful first dental visit. We’re so grateful—thank you so much!

Really appreciate the care and warmth here. Highly recommend!

I cannot rave enough about SB Children’s Dentistry. My son has been seen at the practice since he was 1 and we have received nothing but excellent care from Dr.Hayley and this last visit Dr.Hannah! The entire staff is super friendly and welcoming. My son genuinely enjoys going to the dentist because of their approach to treating children.
