Welcome to Pacheco Medina Dental Corporation

We are a family dental practice located in Santa Barbara committed to promoting exceptional dental health and creating healthy, beautiful smiles. Drs. Pacheco and Medina founded their first dental office in Santa Barbara in 1998 after having practiced in the San Gabriel Valley for five years.

Your First Visit

Our doctors and staff are always enthusiastic to welcome new patients to our office. During your initial visit, you will have X-rays taken with our digital system and a thorough dental examination. For adult patients, this consultation lasts one hour, during which the doctor will address the following:

• Your current condition

In addition to these general points, we encourage you to ask questions of our doctors and staff during your visit. Our goal is for you to fully understand the topics of your evaluation and treatment plan options.

After your consultation with the doctor, you will meet with our financial coordinator to know the payment options available to you. More information can be found here. We will then schedule your next appointment.
