Kiken Robert

The Dr and staff were very wonderful. They were courteous and caring. I was on vacation and fell at the museum in Santa Barbara and damaged my front teeth cut my lip they took me right in and excellent care and after repositioning front top teeth and 15 stitches, I'm great! Their the best very skilled and quick. Thanks!

Had my wisdom teeth extraction Friday the 10th, and overall it was a positive experience. The staff is super friendly and nice, and both doctors do excellent work. My surgeon was David McAninch and I'd recommend him to anyone who is in the market for wisdom teeth extractions. In addition, Dr. McAninch personally called me the following day for a progress check, rather than an assistant, so much respect for that. If you're looking for a place to get your wisdom teeth extracted, go here!

I am a retired Beverly Hills dentist for over 24 years and recently moved to SB, had a very bad experience with a general dentist in SB resulting in the inability to open my mouth. (Lock-Jaw) After calling this dentist who told me to take a double dose of Aleve and call him once it got better. I knew I needed to find a professional for a second opinion.

I called Dr. David L McAninch DDS, a well trained Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon. His office staff was extremely pleasant and scheduled an appointment that same day. Dr McAninch was extremely thorough in his exam and prescribed medicine and exercises. His office is extremely professional and friendly and I would not hesitate to refer patients to him.

Definitely appreciate this office and would recommend to anyone in need of oral surgery. I came in after having occasional issues with my 3 wisdom teeth. The first visit was quick and easy. X-rays were done and everything was explained to me in detail. I had dental insurance, but not the best, and luckily Jana was able to get them to pay for one wisdom tooth extraction, which alone saved me a good chunk of money.

Surgery with Dr McAninch went well and as expected. Unfortunately, I developed a lot of pain from the location the lower wisdom tooth was removed from. I reached out and was immediately booked with Dr Kiken, who informed me I had the dreaded dry socket in that spot. I ended up going to the office daily for just under a week in order to get the dressings changed.

I really appreciated how flexible the office was with me, especially when I was coming in every day. I'm now just over a year out from surgery, and haven't even thought about my wisdom teeth in the past year, so happy camper over here!

Everyone there is extremely friendly and nice, and they offer discount for ucsb students. The staff Angela and Jana are very caring and patient. They would like to answer any questions you have including post-operation instructions and the insurance cost details. Dr. Kiken is very kind and he relieved me a lot before the oral surgeon. Two of my wisdom teeth are extracted very smoothly with no pain at all.

I would like to start of by saying I have dental anxiety. It was clear from my first phone call that I had chosen the right office. I had an emergency and I was able to get in the first day. In my experience, that is rare. Once I arrived, I was met by three smiling faces. That helped. The office was beautiful and the ladies were all pleasant and efficient.

My paperwork was emailed to me so that was one less thing to worry about. While I waited to get numb, there was soothing music and beautiful videos of oceanography. Dr Kiken was ok very pleasant and informative, he explained my current treatment plan and how to proceed going forward. My extraction was quick and painless. Best dental visit ever.

We had a very positive experience with Dr. Kiken's office. Jana and Candy were especially helpful and compassionate answering all of my questions prior to this this surgery. Patient care was excellent. Dr. Kiken came in and sat down after the procedure and explained post care and the importance of great dental hygiene to follow. My son who had all 4 wisdom teeth removed, healed great and had minimal pain and swelling.

He took the antibiotics and did the oral rinse without hesitation. He didn't even need to take the pain meds. I'm really impressed, as he's never had any surgery, let alone going under general anesthesia. It was a very good experience overall. For after the procedure I would definitely suggest to have a squeeze water bottle and extra small ice packs on hand.

The post wrap (like a tube sock with Velcro) they give works great! Also, if doing Care Credit, before paying upfront ( a dental policy procedure), make sure you know their billing cycle, I paid right before the cusp of my CC billing cycle and had to pay my monthly payment before my son had the procedure.just wasn't planning on that. Overall, billing was straightforward, took awhile for approval from my insurance, staff was kind and took the time to answer my questions, Jana was great with communicating scheduling changes and Candy was great with post care comfort and a follow up phone call the day after. And kudos for Dr. Kiken's skills, I'm very grateful you all made my sons experience a good one.

David L. McAninch IV, DDS & Staff were So nice, gentle, caring & made my experience the easiest & as pain free as possible due to the infection around my root. I will be back in a few weeks for an implant on my front as well as other areas of concern. I'd recommend this office for all your Surgically or restorative dental needs.

The experience was awesome. I initially called to cancel my appointment but was give the best advice by Alyssa. She said the tooth could get infected and I would be in a world of hurt. I took it her advice. The procedure was painless and with Doctor Kiken giving me his Humorous commentary during the extraction made it difficult me not to laugh. Dr. K and his crew are awesome.

What an extremely welcoming and comforting staff. I was a brand new patient for my wisdom teeth removal and was referred to Ocean Oral by my dentist. Leading up to surgery, until the moment I left, they were very helpful, informative and accommodating to my needs. Come surgery, I was so incredibly nervous, but they were very patient with me and reassured my jitters completely.

The procedure went great and the healing started quicker than I expected. They made a terrifying fear (teeth pulled) feel like a walk in the park. I give Ocean Oral 5 stars in expertise, professionalism and kindness. Will absolutely be returning here for any other orthodontic needs!
