I have been a patient of Dr. Rai at Santa Barbara Dental Spa since 1984, and throughout all these years, I have consistently received exceptional care. Dr. Rai has always taken the time to explain every procedure and ensure I am comfortable and confident in the treatment plan. From routine cleanings and fillings to extractions and even full bridges, I have always felt that my best interest comes first. The results have been excellent, and I am truly grateful for the quality of care I鈥檝e received.
The staff at Santa Barbara Dental Spa reflects the same warm and professional approach. They are attentive, welcoming, and thoughtful. In particular, Aurora, the office manager, has always greeted me with kindness and genuine care, making each visit smooth and stress-free.
After all these years, I continue to be extremely satisfied with my experience here. Santa Barbara Dental Spa and Dr. Rai have earned my vote today full trust and appreciation. I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking dental care.

Dr. Rai鈥檚 office is so wonderful, and they do excellent work! Aurora at the front desk is very cheerful, helpful and friendly, and gets back to you quickly when you leave a message. Sean the hygienist is kind, patient, gentle but thorough, informative, and really takes the time to answer all your questions! Dr. Rai is kind, patient, very knowledgeable, and does masterful work on complicated teeth! If you think there鈥檚 no hope for your teeth, come see Dr. Rai, and you may be pleasantly surprised! He also does an excellent job at making them as look as good as possible. I needed some tricky dental work, and he really helped me through it all and navigate a plan for me. He was recommended to me by my primary care physician, and I鈥檓 really grateful that he did! 馃槉

About Santa Barbara Dental Spa
Santa Barbara Dental Spa is a general and cosmetic dentistry practice at 2017 Chapala Street in Santa Barbara, California, built around the idea that a dental visit should feel calm instead of stressful. The office pairs its care with a spa style setting, using music, oils, pillows, blankets, and sedation options to ease anxiety, and patients can watch video entertainment from the treatment chair. Services include dental implants, oral surgery such as tooth removal, Invisalign clear aligners, cosmetic treatments, bite and jaw joint correction, emergency dental care, and routine cleanings and preventive care.
For patients considering dental implants, the practice explains its approach as placing a titanium implant that bonds with the jawbone over time, which helps prevent the bone loss that can follow tooth loss, then restoring it with a crown. Dr. B.K. Rai has been in private practice in Santa Barbara since 1988 and has completed additional training in implant dentistry, including bone grafting and gum surgery, as well as an intravenous sedation program at the University of Southern California. The practice offers financing and insurance guidance, and appointments can be requested through its website or by phone.
