“As a long time ‘dental-phobe’, I am always apprehensive before an appointment. The crew at Soquel Dental go above & beyond to help me manage my anxiety, and never make me feel embarrassed or ashamed for my fears. I never feel rushed during my visit, as they are patient, calm and take the time to explain what is happening. I am offered headphones, videos, fidgets, nitrous – whatever I need!”

“Dr. Shyba has gotten me out of a serious pickle when I broke an existing crowned front tooth surfing. He quickly rebuilt my smile and did it in the most comfortable way possible. I had a dental issue this week with another tooth and they had me in the next day and done within a couple hours… Hands down best Dental group in SC!”

“My tooth was tricky to match because the top row is a little crooked… Dr. Shyba made me 3 separate crowns until we found a perfect match that blended in. During that time I had a temporary crown and it fell off on the weekend. But Dr. Shyba called me directly from the emergency line and Bonnie met me at the office to help reattach it… just look at my beautiful new smile!”

“I had braces for 4 years from 4th-8th grade… Fast forward to 33 year old me and I now have teeth that are better than when I had braces! Dr. Shyba and his team go above and beyond to research complex Invisalign cases (which mine was) in order to provide all possible options.”

“My daughter’s used to need anti-anxiety medication before a dentist appointment. With Soquel Dentistry, they quit needing to take it. The dentist took their time with them. And allowed them to work through their fears. Going to the dentist should not be scary. If it is, you’re going to the wrong dentist.”
Tami Z., Facebook, 2017
“Went to another dentist originally and was told I needed more work than I truly did. Came here from a reference from a friend. Best experience I’ve ever had… Didn’t feel a thing. Literally almost fell asleep getting work done. Dr. Shyba is awesome… I live an hour away and will make this my permanent regular office.”

“From the professionalism with my cleaning to the in-depth explanations surrounding necessary dental work, everyone is phenomenal. The staff takes time to answer questions, discuss next steps, and even document the process for you. The transparency is refreshing and made me feel totally taken care of.”

“Dr Shyba put in a front implant and spent a lot of time and gave attention to every detail- This guy is meticulous!! I cant say enough wonderful things about this whole office- Everyone is friendly, helpful and compassionate.”
David M., Yelp, 2017
“I have always dreaded going to the dentist because of prior painful dental work up until I started going to Soquel Dental. Dr Shyba is a talented dentist delivering pain free treatment every time I’ve gone. Dr Shyba has treated my cavities and recently performed a root canal both of which were pain free without any complications.”
Amber J., Yelp, 2018
“Everyone is respectful, efficient, kind, available for weekend emergencies… And they never push extra unneeded X rays or procedures, which I have experienced in other practices. No down side here whatsoever!”
Nadine G., Yelp, 2020
“I called this morning hoping to get an emergency appointment within the next few days and was in the office an hour later getting the treatment I needed to relieve the intense pain that I was having.”
Brian N., Yelp, 2019
“I love Soquel Dental so much that I drive from San Jose just to get my teeth cleaned. The staff is warm and friendly, the equipment up to date, and the atmosphere is such that even the most fearful patients will find comfort. I ought to know, I was one of those patients once!”
Melody W., Yelp, 2018
“Nobody likes going to the dentist. But if we have to, this is the place to go… I have been to several dentists in my 52 years in this area. I will never switch again!”
Laurie W., Yelp, 2024
