About Smile Santa Maria Dental

Smile Santa Maria Dental is a general dentistry practice located at 2528 S Broadway, Suite C in Santa Maria, California, serving Santa Maria along with neighboring Orcutt and Nipomo. The practice offers comprehensive dentistry for teens, adults, and seniors, and describes its approach as handling complex procedures in its own office rather than referring patients out to outside specialists. Its implant services range from single dental implants and same-day (immediate) implants to implant-retained overdentures and full-arch teeth replacement, which the practice refers to as All-on-X. The site notes that the practice uses 3D imaging for implant planning, digital scanners in place of traditional impressions, and in-house milling to create crowns and bridges on site.

Beyond implants, the practice provides preventive cleanings and exams, fillings, crowns and bridges, root canal therapy, inlays and onlays, dentures, tooth extractions, dental bonding, teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, and clear aligner treatment with Invisalign. Same-day emergency appointments are available for urgent problems such as severe pain, broken teeth, or infections, and oral sedation is offered for patients who feel anxious or are undergoing longer procedures. The website lists new patient offers including a free full-arch consultation and a free implant-retained overdenture consultation, and financing information is available for implant treatment. Office hours are Monday through Thursday from 9 AM to 6 PM and Friday from 8 AM to 4 PM.
