I had a great experience. The wait was short, and my appointment was in the morning. Everyone on the staff was friendly, professional, and took the time to explain everything I needed. The receptionists were also very kind and welcoming. I truly appreciated the excellent service and would definitely recommend them to anyone.馃槂

I held off on my review until I actually got work done because initially I only came for xrays but this staff really really wowed me. The girls in the front are nice and welcoming, and my dentist was amazing!! She was very fast, the injections didn't even hurt and I got 3 wisdom teeth removed in 1 visit!! Super quick process and pain was very mild, I will recommend anyone needing dental work done to come here.

Had to get my daughter in for and emergency due to extreme tooth pain and they were very accommodating. We expected a wait but they got us in promptly. She was assessed by Dr Barrera and he was so nice and explained to her (me) what needed to be done. We were told she needed an extraction and handed us over to Dr. Maryam Esmaeili. She was very comforting to my daughter and explained what was happening the whole time. She made my daughter鈥檚 experience a positive one.

I was greeted when I walked in and helped in a timely manner. There were a couple of patients in front of me but I did not wait long. I also did not wait long to be taken to a room. The dental assistants and dentist were all lovely. I was in and out in less than an hour. I was there for a check up and cleaning.

Friendly Smiles Dental is a general and cosmetic dentistry practice with three Central Coast offices, including this location at 1670 South Broadway in Santa Maria, California. The practice describes its offices as staffed and equipped to care for the entire family, with services that range from teeth cleanings and tooth extractions to oral surgery and dental implants. For patients with missing teeth, the practice offers dental implants, which it explains as titanium tooth root replacements placed in the jawbone that can support a single replacement tooth or help stabilize bridges and dentures. Related services listed on its site include bone grafting, dentures, porcelain crowns, fixed bridges, and wisdom teeth extractions.
The practice's implant page outlines a multi-step process that begins with an assessment using x-rays and impressions, followed by surgical placement under local anesthesia, a healing period, and then a custom made replacement tooth. Patients can arrange an implant consultation at any of the three offices in Santa Maria, San Luis Obispo, or King City. Friendly Smiles Dental states that it accepts most dental insurance plans and Medi-Cal and offers convenient payment options. The Santa Maria office lists hours of Monday through Thursday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and the website is available in both English and Spanish.
The practice's clinical team, as listed on its website, includes Dr. Hamlet Karapetian, DMD, a 2004 graduate of Boston University's School of Dental Medicine who completed an additional residency year at Lincoln Medical and Mental Health Center in New York and is a member of the American Dental Association and the Central Coast Dental Society; Dr. Rogelio Barrera, DDS, a California licensed dentist since 1995 who trained at the University of Michoacan and joined the practice in 2010 with a focus on restorative dentistry; Dr. Arturo Silva, DDS, a 1992 graduate of Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia who has practiced on the Central Coast since 2008; Dr. Maryam Esmaeili, DDS, who completed a post-graduate oral and maxillofacial surgery preceptorship at UCLA, earned a second DDS degree from UCLA in 2022, and joined the group in August 2022; and Dr. Kyle Elmore, DDS, a graduate of Meharry Medical College in Nashville. The website states that Dr. Karapetian has cared for patients in Santa Maria since establishing his practice, but does not assign the other dentists to specific offices.
