I come from a family of dentists, yet I didnt have the best of teeth and went through a fair share of problems and procedures. Since then, I have tried to make getting dental care comfortable, simple, and as gentle as possible.
After graduating from high school in Santa Maria I attended NYU and did a surgical-oriented residency in Long Island, NY. After I got tired of shoveling snow in New York, I decided to return to the Central Coast in 2011. I enjoy spending time with my wife Samantha and chasing after our 3 children.
My clinical focus and continuous education has been on reconstruction and implant surgeries, as a chicken wings enthusiast I love being able to give back the gift of chewing and enjoying food to my patients.
I am originally from Boston and graduated from Georgetown University in Washington DC. I have been in Santa Maria since 1978. I have always had a passion for cosmetic dentistry and strive to deliver beautiful smiles without shots and without grinding down teeth.
I grew up in Calimesa, CA and attended college at UCLA. From there I attended dental school at Arizona School of Dentistry and Oral Health, completing my doctorate in 2010 as well as a Masters of Public Health at the same time. After that I worked as a public health dentist serving the communities of the Central Coast of California for 10 years. Ive also had the privilege of participating in various dental mission trips helping communities throughout Central and South America. In 2020 I relocated to Orcutt, CA with my beautiful wife Aleea. We have 4 kids (ages 2, 4, 6, 24!) and enjoy going to the beach, exploring new parks, and managing toddler fits :) I almost became a pro soccer player and still compete. I used to be in a breakdance crew.
I enjoy dentistry because it allows me to meet new people each day and help them along the way. I enjoy giving my patients the knowledge and tools they need to have a healthy smile for the rest of their lives. I understand getting dental work done can be a scary experience and I try my best to make each patient feel comfortable and in control throughout the procedure. Thanks for allowing me to help you with your oral health needs. Its an honor and a privilege to serve.
Im a graduate of the University of Buffalo School of Dentistry in New York. I have been in Santa Maria California since 1997 and have been practicing in town for almost 20 years at a location close to St. Marys Church. I try to make dentistry as relaxed and gentle as possible. I really enjoy travelling and taking a lot of photos.

Gracie has been my dental hygeniest for many years and as far as I'm concerned the best there is. Between Gracie, Dr Dave Oulette and a helpful staff meeting my challenging dental needs, thank you and Happy New Year.

I had an amazing experience with this dentist. he was very understanding. He explained everything to me and he was extremely patient with my questions. I was referred to him for a second opinion because I had an awful experience with another dentist. After having him look at my tooth and make an assessment of the situation, I feel completely relieved. I no longer have doubts. I feel like I truly can trust his judgement which is not something I had at the previous dentist. When I called this dentist to make an appointment, telling them about my situation, they got me in immediately. the girls were very personable and everyone talk to me like I was there friend. The dentist even referred to me once in a sentence, "if you were my daughter". This sentence alone gave me a lot of trust. On top of all of that, I got a really good deal on the crown. And if this is not enough information for you, they do digital images of your teeth and have their own lab on site. This is great because you know where your crown is coming from. It's not being imported from another country or me in another state. Its being made right there on site. It was an all around amazing experience, nothing I've ever had before.

Doctors and Staffs at Everly Dental office are always courteous and professionalism. They offer the most affordable treatment plan for for my situation and they always accommodated my request without any hesitations. I never had to wait long for my any of my appointments, they are always punctual and provide service in a timely matter even during an emergency situations. Everly Dental Office have been treating my entire family when started when my daughter was only five years old. Doctors are caring and gentle. I would recommend anyone to visit Everly Dental should they need a dentist for any dental work. Keith

Best experience. I'm that one person that doesn't like to visit the dentist due to my past experience. I truly feel blessed to have found the best Dentist, Dr. Ouellet. He makes you feel comfortable, safe and he knows exactly what he is doing. Their staff is great as well. I also like that they have music and TV (great distraction). I wish I could add more stars

Going to the dentist is not on my top of things I like to do. But the staff makes me feel comfortable and they are very welcoming.
