Benjamin Laudig, DDS

Dr. Laudig and his staff have my highest recommendation. My family and I were patients of Dr. Sturgeon, and when he retired with stayed with Dr. Laudig. Dr. Sturgeon was a tough act to follow. He was kind and knowledgeable and had to be the most patient person on Earth. Dr. Laudig is all of that and more! We have been seen for routine care and for emergencies. Each time one feels respected, attended to, and with a smile. I strongly recommend Dr. Laudig to others.

This has to be the best dentist I’ve ever heard of. I just moved to the area and haven’t been to the dentist in years (only because my dentist back home was not the best). I am super anxious about going to the dentist and deathly afraid, but this office made me feel very comfortable. They were incredibly nice and understood I was anxious about the entire appointment. Dr. Laudig was awesome at making me feel comfortable. He went over the X-​rays with me and called my nerves. He helped out with my tooth pain and I can’t wait to go back for my cleaning. I would recommend them to anyone who needed a dentist in Santa Barbara or Goleta.

This is the most caring general dentist on the planet. His staff, namely Pam, really care. Given my history of anxiety, they took my complicated case and treated me like I mattered. I’m thoroughly impressed at the way they went above and beyond to help me after a horrible experience with a different dentist office in town (see other reviews) thank you Dr Laudig and staff!

An honest and down to earth dentist! This is by far the best dentist office that my husband and I have ever been to. He doesn’t try to over sell on procedures not needed, which is a huge deal to me. The office is also super clean! To add, we both had the best cleanings (my husband had a whitening treatment too) and our teeth have never looked better.

Dr. Laudig is a fantastic dentist. Every time I went in he was friendly, knowledgeable, and really listened and explained what he was going to do. He is a kind and compassionate dentist and gets his patients in on time. I can’t say enough about him. He is great. His office staff is experienced and friendly and his dental hygienists are wonderful. They all get 5 stars!

I am a UCSB student and I couldn’t get a teeth cleaning appointment with UCSB Dental Clinic before my vacation so I made appointment with this place since they are covered by the school’s insurance. They really treat their patients well, in the waiting room there is a mini fridge with free bottled drinks for their patients. The reception staff are very helpful and friendly. I just got my teeth cleaned there and I will say that she was as skilled as the dental hygienist at UCSB.
When I met Laudig for a consultation regarding a crown, he was very professional and took time to answer all my questions. This place is also a good economical choice because he tries to give discounts to cash paying patients.
Generally I like how this dental office treats their patients so I’ll be coming back.

Dr Laudig helped cure me of my 5-​year-​long fear of dentists and dental work. He gets a lot of profs and PhD students from the nearby university, and he knows how to handle our (often odd) fears and phobias without talking «down» at us. Did an excellent job with teeth cleaning and explaining my x-​rays, and made my sealant installation both quick and painless as well as wonderfully fitted. Staff is excellent as well; notified me of a cancelled appointment and let me show up 20 minutes late and still slot in, painless processing of (minimal) paperwork, everything started on time and ended early. The only warning I would give is about the doctor’s dental puns, but even those are pretty good!

Dr. Laudig and his staff are top notch. I felt he like genuinely cared about me as a patient, was honest when we discussed my teeth and took the time to explain any questions I had. He was gentle as well as thorough and did an excellent job with my cleaning. The staff was very friendly and very competent, which seems to be a rare thing these days. To top it off, I was given a discount because I don’t have dental insurance. I will be coming back in six months and highly recommend this dentist.
