About Erik S. Wipf DDS

Erik S. Wipf DDS operates on State Street in the Oak Park area of Santa Barbara, California. Implants are considered by many dentists the most durable way to replace a missing tooth, since the titanium post fuses with the jaw bone over several months and then supports a crown that functions much like a natural tooth. Enough healthy bone is the main prerequisite, and a graft can build that up first if needed.

Clear aligners straighten teeth through a series of custom, removable trays, each worn for one to two weeks before moving to the next in the sequence. They suit mild to moderate crowding and spacing well, and are worn roughly twenty to twenty-two hours a day for treatment to stay on schedule.

A veneer is a thin custom shell bonded to the front of a tooth to change its shape, length, or colour, most often used to address chips, gaps, or discoloration that whitening alone cannot fix. Traditional veneers require a small amount of enamel to be removed, which makes the change permanent.

Cosmetic dentistry covers treatment aimed primarily at appearance — whitening, veneers, bonding, and reshaping among the more common options — for patients who are less concerned with a problem that hurts than with how their smile looks day to day. The right combination depends on what specifically you would like to change.

Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth, cleans and seals the space, and allows the natural tooth to be kept rather than extracted. Its reputation for being painful is largely outdated — carried out under local anaesthetic, it typically relieves pain rather than causing it.

Emergency dental care covers sudden problems that will not wait for a routine appointment — severe pain, a knocked-out or fractured tooth, swelling, or a lost filling that leaves a tooth exposed. Same-day or urgent appointments are the point of an emergency service, rather than the standard multi-week booking window. This page has the practice's contact details and full service list.

Most recently, I had a mysterious pain in two teeth. Dr Wipf and his family of cheerful and helpful professionals and their state of the art technology found a simple, inexpensive solution. Too rare an outcome in the dental world. A wonderful group.

Dr. Eric did a great job on a HUGE job with my father. My father was afraid of dentists and avoided doing anything with and for his teeth for too many years. Now he insists on seeing only Dr. Erik Wipf, so we really appreciate his skill, patience, and attention to detail. Also the front of house staff, led by Jennifer, are really helpful and supportive.

Dr Wipf is kind and knowledgeable. The x-ray nurses are attentive and friendly. And the hygienist who cleaned my teeth had the best " bedside manners " I've ever experienced. She explained the steps she performed as she was doing them, in a reassuring way.

Everyone who works here is super kind, helpful and professional. The care I’ve received I’m so appreciative for! I can’t say enough good things about them. To find an honest dentist is so hard - thankful for Dr. Wifp, his honestly and genuine care for each and every patient.

Dr Wipf is thorough, honest and spends a lot of time with his patients addressing every issue and concern. His staff is also excellent- I think I had the most extensive tooth cleaning I’ve ever had yesterday. Jennifer at the front desk is also incredibly friendly and helpful. I was referred to Dr Wipf by a friend. I’m coming from a dental office that recently changed ownership and at every 6 month checkup I was told I had at least three new fillings that I urgently needed drilled. One tooth they cracked during one of these routine drillings so then I needed a crown and ultimately a root canal. I feel confident this funny business does not happen at Dr Wipf’s office. In a rapidly changing healthcare landscape, I feel I can trust this group.
