At the office of Thomas Blake, DDS, we go the extra mile to make sure that your oral health needs are met with the highest quality and long-lasting restorations. We only collect co-pays and accept:

  • Cash
  • Checks
  • Credit cards

    • Discover®

    • Visa®
  • Flexible Spending Accounts
  • Health Savings Accounts

We also offer financing of treatment through CareCredit®

You can utilize any kind of PPO insurance in our office. However, in order to provide the highest quality of dentistry for our patients, we cannot be “in-network” with PPO insurance companies. Some set their reimbursement fees so low that we strongly feel it is not in the best interest of our patients to use lower quality materials and rush through procedures to make dental care cost effective. The quality and longevity of the treatment we offer here is outside the scope of these insurance policies.

Please know that we will never alter nor compromise the way that we care for our patients or the treatment that we provide regardless of dental insurance coverage.


If you have concerns about paying for your dental care in Santa Barbara, California, or would like to make an appointment with our dentist, call our office today at 805-962-5000.

Full payment is due at the time of your service. In order to help our patients, we will submit the claim to their insurance on their behalf along with all supporting documentation. Your insurance will reimburse you directly.
