Located at 1187 Coast Village Road, Suite 11, in Santa Barbara, Riviera Smiles provides dental services for the people of Santa Barbara. The practice was founded by Dr. Ana Martinez who has devoted her life to helping people attain excellent oral health and to improve their lives by giving them smiles they can be proud of. Riviera Smiles is a family-oriented practice, welcoming children as well as adults. Dr. Martinez and her staff want you to feel at home when you come to her practice, so they create a friendly, caring environment in which they deliver their services.

Graduating at the top of her class at the Cayetano Heredia University in Lima, Peru, in 1997, Dr. Ana Martinez went on to complete a two-year hospital residency in dentistry. She then completed her internship at the Witten/Herdecke University in Germany. Dr. Martinez also completed a residency in general dentistry at the University of Connecticut Health Center with a two-year fellowship that emphasized dental implant placement and prosthetic rehabilitation services (replacement of missing teeth and reconstruction of damaged teeth).

Dr. Martinez has selected office staff, dental assistants and hygienists who share her mission to improve your oral health with compassion and understanding. By providing a caring, friendly office for you to visit, they know you will want to come back in six months for your next dental exam. In this way, they fulfill their mission of helping you maintain healthy teeth and gums.

Dr. Martinez focuses on the health of your teeth and gums. Once your oral health is established, she can give you the smile youve always wanted with cosmetic dental procedures. Dr. Martinez knows a pleasing smile makes people feel better about themselves and boosts their confidence. With her extensive experience in cosmetic dentistry, she will give you the best possible smile makeover.

We use computer-delivered anesthesia, which is much more comfortable for you and more precise than the hand-delivered shots of the past. You wont need to have half of your face numbed to have a cavity filled.

We use piezo dental technology for deep cleaning of your gums and for dental implants. This new technology makes deep cleaning of your gums much more pleasant, and when you need to have root planing done to treat gum disease, it is quicker and much more comfortable than the traditional hand-planing techniques. For dental implants, there is less damage to the bone and the soft tissues when preparing the implant site.

Originally from Peru and with an international background, Dr. Ana Martinez graduated at the top of her class from Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia in Lima, Peru in 1997. She pursued a two year hospital-based residency in dentistry, followed by an internship at Universitaet Witten/Herdecke, in Germany.

She completed a residency in General Dentistry at the University of Connecticut Health Center, and two year fellowship with emphasis on surgical implant placement and provision of prosthetic rehabilitation and the treatment and management of patients with severe medical, mental and physical impairments. During her academic career she has emphasized the importance of research and has been published in dental journals.

Our experienced, caring team is one of our greatest assets at Riviera Smiles! Santa Barbara cosmetic dentist, Dr. Martinez, has hand-selected a group of front desk staff, dental assistants, and hygienists who pride themselves on staying on the cutting edge of dentistry. Each member of our team is excited to have dedicated their careers to helping others live better lives through healthy, beautiful smiles.

I have a lot of anxiety surrounding the dentist for that reason I have neglected my dental health. My past experiences have not been at all good so finding a dentist I felt I could trust has not been easy. I found Riviera Smiles on a thread in a local mom group I follow saying nothing but great things. I just had my first visit I literally cannot say enough good things. I went in extremely anxious and scared, the assistants and reception staff were great and Dr. Martinez was beyond amazing. When I first met her the fear really set in for me about being at the dentist but she quickly helped settle my fears and by the end of the appointment I left feeling so confident. Her assistant was so kind and we had such a lovely chat while I waited to talk to Dr. Martinez which helped keep me calm. I cannot say enough good things I look forward to continuing my care here!

I was very nervous because I've had pretty bad experiences at other offices but everyone was very friendly and accommodating. I have some health issues that reflect on my teeth and nobody made me feel bad about it and I appreciated that more than they know. Excellent Doctor and staff.
