★★★★★

Because of Dr. Cynthia Copeland, I no longer fear going to the dentist anymore. I originally came to her office to see if she could help me remove several amalgam fillings that were causing my teeth to fall apart along with several other issues. I was nervous the first time I walked in because I had been avoiding the dentist for some time and I was afraid she would judge me because of the poor state of my dental health. The exact opposite occurred. Dr Copeland is by far one of the most intelligent and compassionate people I have ever met. She took the time to explain my x-rays and meticulously lay out my options for treatment in a kind and professional manner. My appointments are always pleasant, relaxing and quick. I am so grateful I found her and recommend her to all my family and friends. After years of having a mouth full of metal, I can finally smile with confidence. Dr Copeland is one of a kind and I highly recommend her.

A warm, inviting office that is truly the best of the best! the whole team is extremely knowledgeable and go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable, and well informed of your individual dental needs/wants– with a holistic approach. Dr. Copeland is honestly like no other dentist around, so special. shout out to Lacee, Dr. Copeland’s amazing RDAEF. And Lindsay, Dr. Copeland’s hygienist… You guys are so good at what you do, and you make every visit like catching up with an old friend.

Where do I start? With the really warm and inviting atmosphere created by both Dr. Copeland and her staff? The latest up-to-date equipment to serve many complex domains of focus and care? The amazing skill set of Dr. Copeland that combines care and impact on the patient with astute diagnoses and treatment I’ve never encountered in a dental office? Or the wholistic approach she uniquely provides that sees the mouth as just one information-filled site for overall body health? Take your pick. Then immediately make an appointment if you need to see someone for oral care.

Everyone at Whole Health Dentistry is wonderful. I had had a great deal of dental pain, including tmj after another dentist did not listen to me. Dr. Copeland is such a great listener , it took a while but I am so much better now. Soft, or flexible night-guards (Lacey is amazing making these), holistic injections, and excellent treatments have made a huge difference in my life. I absolutely recommend Whole Health dentistry. Oh yes, dental cleaning has never been so well done here. A holistic practice is absolutely different than any other, positive all around Five stars!

I found Dr. Cynthia Copeland 4 years ago when she came to a program I taught. We connected right away and I loved her approach to teeth! I had been wanting a new dentist for quite some time and was wanting to have all my amalgam fillings but didn’t know who to trust to do them safely. Since meeting her and going to her now since then, she has removed all my fillings, calls me to remind me to get my teeth cleaned and she explains the relationship of our teeth and our mouth to our whole body in such a way that you finally understand how important it is to take care of your teeth. I couldn’t trust my teeth to anyone else.

Dr. Copeland is truly the best! I am amazed at how she and her office team can make what could be a scary or painful procedure be calming and simple. From the dental practitioners to the admin team the entire office at Whole Health Dentistry is knowledgeable, nice, and friendly while also educating you to learn more about your teeth and whole health! After years of having a mouth full of pain, and serious fears of dentists, I can finally smile with confidence. I am so grateful to have found Dr. Copeland and recommend her to all my family and friends. Dr. Copeland is one of the kindest Dentists and practitioners I have ever met. She comes highly recommend!!

I got a teeth cleaning and exam here and I loved the atmosphere. The office has a good clean feeling, and even had extra flair like plants and a full size mural. The staff were lovely and I felt well taken care of. I also like the dentist, Dr Copeland. She was nice and seemed to know her stuff! Her assistant Lacee was also attentive and worked well with the Dr.

★★★★★

I highly recommend Dr. Copeland and her team. I have never had such a thorough Intake consultation at any dentist in the US. It went way beyond my teeth as they of course connect to the whole system of the body, which is why I prefer a wholistic context. The equipment is state-of-the- art as is Dr. Copeland’s expertise in knowledge and application. My husband had recently an implant and it went unbelievably smooth. I like her homeopathic approach with pain treatments, which worked fantastically. Her team is very friendly, helpful and concerned about timing matters. I felt very well taken care of with all upcoming concerns.

★★★★★

Absolutely the best Dentist I have ever been to. Dr. Copeland is the most thorough and health conscious Dentist you could ask for. She not only thinks about your teeth, but takes into account how everything in your body is connected, and affected by your dental work. I am now living in Berkeley and still come to Dr. Copeland if possible for my dental work to be taken care of. Great, great, staff as well. I have the highest regard for Whole Health Dentistry, and all the staff working there.

Dr. Copeland has a super calming presence. I’ve been her patient since 2010. When she works on me, I can sense her high level of confidence, expertise and integrity. She is a great communicator. I love that she uses non-toxic materials. Her entire staff is an amazing group of ladies dedicated to a high level of care. You’ll be in good hands. Dr. Copeland will always be my dentist!

★★★★★

I’ve had an initial evaluation and cleaning and it’s been a wonderful experience. The evaluation was the most thorough and informative I have ever had. The cleaning experience was also great- the hygienist was precise, detailed, and gentle. Everyone who works here is friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I can’t recommend this office enough!

★★★★★

I first came to the practice of Dr. Copeland because I was looking for someone who had a more holistic take on dentistry. I was really impressed with how she explained the ticklish situation I have with my teeth. She then referred me to another dental doctor for braces. I had resisted braces for years, as an adult, because I never understood the real problem that it would solve. She has worked closely with my orthodontist and solved little problems with my teeth that have gone on concurrently with my orthodontia. In other words my orthodontia is going great, but my teeth are still having things that need to be done by a dentist. I was impressed enough with her care that I have recommended three people to her. Each one of them thanked me for the referral, because she’s just that good. I have to say I don’t mind getting my teeth cleaned there because I really like the woman who cleans my teeth. Basically I like Elliott at the front desk, I like the dental assistants, and I have major respect for Dr. Copeland.

Whole Health Dentistry is the absolute best! It isn’t easy to find a dentist who cares about your whole health and who uses safe practices. Dr. Cynthia Copeland and her staff are extremely caring and professional. I have been going to Dr. Copeland for a few years now and I could not be happier. My last appointment was long. I needed to have two crowns replaced and my anxiety was a bit high to say the least. Dr. Copeland offered me nitrous oxide for relaxation during the procedure. I had never experienced this before and now I know I’ll always ask for this because it made me feel like whatever was going on was no big deal. I am very happy with the beautiful work of Dr. Copeland. I highly recommend this dentist!

I had a wonderful experience getting my wisdom teeth out at Whole Health Dentistry. The whole staff was helpful and made me feel like family while I was there. The procedure went well and they provided detailed instructions for how to care for myself at home in addition to calling to check up on me. It was a great experience overall and I recommend this place for your next dental procedure!

★★★★★

I truly believe that Dr. Copeland is a superb dentist, the best I’ve ever been to. Not only does she have a holistic and preventative approach to dentistry, she does excellent work. I’ve had a number of fillings done so far, and will be having a couple of crowns replaced, as well as getting a night guard to protect my teeth from grinding. I trust Dr. Copeland 100% to do a great job, and to do what is really best for my teeth and my overall health long term. And to top it off, Dr. Copeland and her staff are very nice and fun to be around. For the first time ever, I actually look forward to going to the dentist!

★★★★★

Dr. Copeland and her staff provided me with compassionate and outstanding dental care. Dr. Copeland’s work and attention to detail is unlike any other dentist I have seen. She uses biocompatible materials and ozone which was the deciding factor for me to choose Whole Health Dentistry. I had a crown placed and her work is art! I can’t tell that I have a crown and I didn’t feel a thing. Lacee was an excellent assistant and did a fabulous job on a filling that I needed. She made my experience so enjoyable! I am so happy I found Dr. Copeland and her amazing team. The care and service was fabulous, I will be returning!

★★★★★

I’ve had such a wonderful experience with Dr. Copeland and everyone at her office. I’ve avoided dentists for years and had a lot of anxiety about going in, but from the first phone call I felt reassured that her team would take excellent care of me. Everyone I’ve interacted with has been so caring and did everything they could to ensure my comfort! Dr. Copeland explained everything she recommended very clearly and with consideration of my needs. For example, I have a lot of tension in my jaw and was worried it would be really painful to keep my mouth open for all the work I needed done. I’m also prone to headaches and was assuming I’d be out for a day or two after my procedure. When I voiced my concern to Dr. Copeland she had a variety of solutions to help my situation and I miraculously had no headache or pain during or after my procedures! I really appreciate their holistic approach as well, it feels so great to know that my mouth and overall health are in good hands. I honestly look forward to going in now, I never thought I would say that about a dentist!

I’ve been going to dentists now for almost 50 years – in all that time, Cynthia is the ABSOLUTE BEST!!!  LET ME AS YOU THIS: why would you want some guy’s fat, bumbling fingers knocking their way around in your mouth against your teeth, gums, tongue, etc.???  Forget it, I never want to go back to that – EVER AGAIN!!!  Cynthia is the kindest, sweetest of persons with an intelligence which includes, yet goes far beyond the deepest intricate details of her dentistry profession – to be able to resonate with one’s whole-person-emotional state.  She is a GEM and ANGEL of a dentist!  You will truly miss the opportunity to find a DIAMOND OF A DENTIST if you don’t go to her!

Stephanie G. from Santa Barbara, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

This could easily become one of those “Oh My God, is this a real person” reviews. I used to live in Seattle, and they had the attitude that we are the best but here’s what good about Cynthia. Excellent chair side manner. She really cares about where you’ve come from (dentistry wise) and where you want to get to (your goals). She looks at many ways to get there. She’s seem rooted in classical dentistry but is very connected with newer solutions and techniques which is probably where the whole health part comes in.  To her, the mouth is more than just something to eat food with, it’s your own personal environment and she intends on helping you get in touch with it and learn to make it the best.  I’ve had 2 great dentists in my life, she’s #1. The photo looks like it’s from here office. Oh yea, she has great music too 😉

Great first visit. For a variety of reasons, I hadn’t been to the dentist in 2.5 years and was pretty nervous to go. I was pretty excited when I learned that we have a holistic dentist in Santa Barbara. Dr. Copeland (and her assistant) was extremely thorough and kind. My teeth cleaning with Lindsey was also positive. I was a bit confused about the division of Whole Health Dentistry and BOCA, but it didn’t impact my experience at all. The office is VERY clean and Elliot at the front is helpful and warm. I feel confident that I’ll be receiving quality care at this office. 5 stars

“Over the last few years I have needed a number of different dental issues addressed and have felt so confident with Dr. Copeland and her team that I have been willing to make very long journeys for my appointments. I appreciate the skill, competence, kindness, playful humor, the location and the light & pleasant office. I would highly recommend considering Dr. Copeland and her team to support your dental health care.” Jillian R.

Dr. Copeland and her staff are the best!  She is the dentist for our whole family (3 kids and 2 adults).  Appointments are easy to book and she always seems to be running on time.  She provides realistic and conservative treatment plans and does NOT pad the bill with unnecessary procedures.  From her routine preventative care to her aesthetic/cosmetic procedures she is effective.  Each visit always goes better than expected.  Her chair-side and front desk staff are very helpful and efficient.  Sometimes dentistry can cause anxiety and we have found her bedside manner puts us at ease.

I only have one word, WOW! Dr. Cynthia Copeland goes above and beyond when it comes to dental work. She puts the patient’s comfort first and always lays out all of the options and suggests which is best. Today, she restored a couple of teeth of mine that were smaller than they should have been. They look amazing! It is great to have a fuller smile. Another thing I must mention is her witty sense of humor that kept me laughing, even when she was working on my teeth (then I had to laugh inside). Thank you Cynthia for a smile that will last me a lifetime. You’re the best!

I just had my amalgam fillings removed today and Dr. Copeland and Marina did it safely and meticulously. I couldn’t believe how quick and comfortable the whole process was. When I was weighing my options of whether to have the procedure, the office wasn’t pushy and I felt Dr. Copeland gave me her honest opinion from a health perspective rather than a business standpoint. The price per filling isn’t cheap, but more reasonable than other places where I felt less comfortable. After the procedure, Dr. Copeland gives you a moist warm towel to wipe your face with– a small, but very nice unexpected touch 🙂 In all, I had a great experience and recommend this place to anyone looking to get their amalgam/silver fillings out.

I highly recommend Dr Copeland. She has been helping me with some very complex dental issues over the last few years, including the safe removal of mercury amalgams. I really like her approach to dentistry where she connects dental health to overall health. Her dental hygienist Lindsey is also fabulous and very gentle with my sensitive teeth. The rest of the office staff is also always so helpful and nice.

Dr. Copeland and her staff take each patient and their whole body needs into account when solving dental woes. Solving is the key word! Most dentists (and MDs too) paint by number when diagnosing. The missed nuances and artistry of a true healer only bandage problems. Dr. Copeland is big picture and helps the suffering find true solutions. Medicine is an art. When picking a dentist, or MD, consider your needs. Do you want a creative healer-artist? If yes, then I highly recommend Dr. Copeland and her staff.

Dr. Cynthia Copeland and her staff from Whole Health Dentistry worked expeditiously with orthodontists Dr. Adam Swensen and Dr. Alex Trigonis to radically improve my bite and create crowns to upgrade previously ground down teeth. In addition, I no longer suffer from jaw pain from cervical nerve impingement issues. I can smile again!

★★★★★

Dr Copeland and her team are excellent! She was very thorough with my dental exam and explained in great detail my treatment plan. It was recommended for my next appointment to be a deep cleaning, which I was dreading to the fullest. However, Lindsey was so patient every step of the way, kept me informed throughout the entire process and made sure I was comfortable! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Dr C is an amazing dentist. She figured out why one tooth filling by another dentist continued to hurt and why my other fillings kept falling out- bad news was I needed braces. I had veneers done after and they look so natural (she was an art major before dentistry and my teeth are now her art). My son was told by the major advertising dentist that his gums needed a deep cleaning. She disagreed and saved us a bundle and his gums are healthy now. Also once you have a deep cleaning you always need one. Unnecessary and expensive. She is so much more knowledgeable than any other other dentist who l have been to. She saved my teeth and I am so grateful to her. Great hygienist and assistant. Can’t recommend more highly

Intelligent dentistry practiced with skill and consideration — this is the approach of Dr. Copeland and her team. Your teeth and mouth are considered an important part of your overall health and treated accordingly. Patients are given every possible comfort during dental procedures. All my family members are patients in this practice and recommend it highly.

Just wanted to take a moment to Thank, Elliot for getting me in on short notice and Dr.Copeland and Aida…I was so impressed with the efficiency & the flow that Dr. Copeland & Aida worked on my tooth a “Well Oiled Machine” and virtually “0” pain what so ever. I love the Laser technology for being so precise with a non routine filling that was taken care of…Both Dr. Copeland and Aida kept me informed and communicated with me during the entire procedure and were so on top of everything, keeping any debris out of mouth the entire time and truly so concerned for my condition and how I felt while having the work done. I would give 20 Stars if I could. From The Professional & Courteous Elliot who handles all scheduling, to a Truly Awesome & Great Team!!! I highly recommend Dr. Copeland. Thank You all!!!

I love this office! Everyone is so kind, helpful and skillful at what they do. They have the latest in dental technology which has revolutionized dentistry since I last had dental repair work done years ago. I appreciate their holistic approach and reliance on natural and homeopathic recovery support rather than antibiotics & Rx pain killers. The office is clean, attractive & inviting, and conveniently located on Upper State with parking in the back, so there’s not a lot of traffic to deal with which is an extra benefit. Dr. Copeland works with an outstanding team of dental professionals in the community – surgeons, orthodontists, etc. – to whom she confidently refers. I’ve had extensive experience with her “team” of experts and have been extremely pleased with her referrals. I’m so glad I found this office, thanks to the referral of another very satisfied patient whom I met at a random gathering. Dr. Copeland’s artistry, along with the use of the latest technology, allowed her to replace three of my crowns in one day with virtually no discomfort or down time and they are beautiful as well as functional. I highly recommend this office!
