A general dentist handles cleanings, fillings, crowns, root canals and most day-to-day care, and refers out for complex surgery or orthodontics. In a market this size the hard part is not finding one, it is knowing which to trust. Of the 27 general dentists we list in Santa Monica, 24 hold a license the state board reports as active and 27 are independent rather than part of a dental chain.
What to check before you book
- The license status on the profile, and whether the board lists any disciplinary action.
- Whether the practice is independent or owned by a DSO, which can change how treatment is recommended.
- That your insurance plan is named on the practice's own page, not just “most insurance accepted.”
