Dr. Scott grew up in Santa Barbara and has strong ties to the local healthcare community. His father was a physician at Sansum Medical Clinic for over 30 years, his mom an operating room nurse at Cottage Hospital, and his sister is currently a charge nurse at Cottage. After high school Dr. Scott continued his education at the University of the Pacific earning his degree in Biology and then his dental degree before returning to Santa Barbara and opening his practice.
Dr. Scott has been an active member of the ADA (American Dental Association), the CDA (California Dental Association), as well as the Santa Barbara Ventura County Dental Society where he was chairman of the Dental Health and Education Committee for years.
Dr. Scott takes numerous courses every year to keep him current on the ever changing dental field ensuring that his patients receive the most comprehensive and advanced dental care possible. One of the highlights of his career was being selected as a dentist for the Olympic Games where he took care of athletes from all over the world.
When Dr. Scott isnt practicing dentistry or attending continuing education courses he spends as much time as he can outdoors, much of that with his wife and three children. One of their favorite vacations is the semiannual houseboat trip to Lake Powell with Dr. Scotts extended family. His activities away from the office include tennis, fishing, freediving, kayaking and boating both along the coast and to the Channel Islands.
While at our office, we make sure that you receive the highest level of service and ensure that our dental work is of the highest quality. To ensure that you maintain great oral health, this level of quality needs to extend into your personal oral hygiene routine. We can help you establish a dental hygiene routine that will keep your teeth healthy and white. If you have any questions about your current hygiene plan please ask us.
Your teeth are not the only important part of your mouth. Your gums are essential to oral hygiene as well. We can provide periodontal cleanings and treatment, or refer you to one of our recommended specialists. Please let us know if you have any questions.
Oral cancer screenings are a very important part of the dental visit for the patient. With the advances in modern technology, we are now able to pinpoint the start of a potential problem much earlier in its evolution. The ability to do so is extremely important in being able to treat any issues prior to them becoming a major irreversible problem.
Certain lifestyle choices can have a great impact on the health of tissues and your overall health in the mouth. If you are a smoker or heavy drinker, make sure to get regular screenings when you visit the dentist.
Often there is plaque and tartar that accumulates below the gum line. In this scenario, we will clean and smooth this area with special instruments to ensure that the area is completely spotless. If this area is not kept clean the entire area can become irritated with the bacteria that resides in the tartar and plaque. It's very important to have your dentist check this area if you have bleeding during brushing.

I just had a tooth pulled today, Tue, 11/01/2022 - 10:42 AM by Dr. Le. It was the best tooth extraction I have ever had. It was painless, quick, and professionally done. Dr. Le and all of his staff were pleasant and informative throughout the procedure. I am looking forward to my next visit.

Such a wonderful and thorough dentist. He truly cares about my teeth. I like my hygienist too but the cream of the crop is the receptionist. She truly is pleased to see me and asks about my life.

I've been a patient for a very long time, with more than your typical bi-annual visits. All of the staff are kind and compassionate and most times, I was able to be seen fairly quickly to deal with my complicated dental issues.
