Dr. Michael Carley

What makes your practice special when compared with others in the area?

The modern family needs an all encompassing dental practice that can provide the best of all possible worlds: the gentle touch of a female dentist for their young children, Invisalign braces for the teenager, dental implants for the mature adult, dentures for the in-laws, and all found under one roof that houses a knowledgeable, well trained and caring staff. Sounds too good to be true? Not if you are fortunate enough to live in the Santa Barbara, Montecito, Goleta and the surrounding areas. Welcome to the practice of Dr. Michael Carley & Associates at Santa Barbara-Dentists.com. It takes years of knowledge and experience to cover all aspects of modern dental care. The youngest member of your family requires a gentle touch, which you will find in our so aptly named Dr. Katie Sugar, It is important to get your children from the earliest age on used to regular dental appointments and treatments. They are necessary for a lifetime of good dental hygiene, healthy gums and teeth. Children who are fearful of the dentist can sabotage appointments so much that parents find it easiest to cancel. That sets-up a precedent where everyone involved loses.
