Why Choose Big Sur Dental
1. Gentle is our whole thing. We know it's the number one worry walking through the door. Nobody wants to white-knuckle the armrest or brace for pain. We move slow when it counts, we check in with you, and we don't just tell you "this won't hurt." We make sure it doesn't.

2. We know cost is a real concern, so we keep an eye on it. If you think we're expensive, try Carmel-by-the-Sea or Monterey. Our prices are most comparable, and we check and compare regularly to make sure we're staying fair. And we don't upsell you. We only recommend the treatment you actually need.

3. There are two dentists working on you instead of one, and we only charge you for the price of one. That's over 71 years of combined experience, at no extra cost to you.

4. We don't get decision fatigue from hopping chair to chair. We only have one chair, so you get the full attention of both of us. We keep clear heads all the way to the end of the day, so you get the same level of care whether you're our first patient or our last.

5. We like to laugh, and we like seeing you comfortable, just genuine conversation that puts you at ease. We take the time to learn who you are: where you're coming from, what makes you laugh, what makes you angry. We're kind of like chameleons. We adapt to you, and if you're more the serious type, we're just as comfortable there too.

6. We actually listen to you. We won't talk over you, and we won't be condescending.

7. We love nature and everything about it. We hike, we spend our free time outdoors, and we won't even kill a spider. We'll pick it up and let it go outside. That respect for living things carries right over into how gentle we are with you.

8. We're super clean, up to date with the latest sterilization techniques. And it's not just when you're watching us. It's when nobody's around, we're still very thorough.

9. We stay current with dental techniques. 71+ years of combined experience doesn't mean we're stuck in the past. We keep learning so you get the best of both worlds: seasoned judgment and modern methods.

10. We won't make you wait in the waiting room for more than five minutes, because we're not arrogant dentists who think your time matters less than ours.

A few of my favorite things gifted to me over the years by talented local artists and photographers. Can you guess who created each one?

Extra credit if you can guess who gave me the tooth and what kind of tooth it is! 🦷

Father Cyprian traveled all the way from Italy for a dental appointment at Big Sur Dental. Just kidding, he actually came from Italy to visit the Hermitage, where he used to serve as the prior. I am still flattered that he takes the time to come for a visit while he is here. It is always an honor and a privilege to care for the monks from the Hermitage.
