Dear Bonnie,
Thank you for your wonderful review and welcome to Mesa Dental! We're so glad you had a great first experience with Dr. Joy Lin and our team.
We truly appreciate your trust and look forward to helping you achieve a healthy, beautiful smile for years to come.
Fantastic experience: I am embarrassed to say that I have so much anxiety and fear when it comes to going to the dentist so I've been avoiding going....for many, many years. My husband just made the appointment for me and I'm not going to lie, I was upset, I couldn't believe he had the nerve to schedule an appointment for me. He reminded me that dental health is very important to our overall health and that he wanted me to be around for a very long, long time. He's so sweet and wonderful....so....I begrudgingly went to my appointment. I was pleasantly surprised. It was painless, and dare I say....kind of relaxing??? I never thought I'd feel that way about going to the dentist. Dr. Joy Lin and her amazing staff have converted me into a person that doesn't mind going to the dentist. Dr. Lin was so gentle, and her small and nimble fingers work so efficiently and painlessly! If you're like me and you've been avoiding the dentist, definitely give Dr. Lin a call! She's a busy dentist and you may not get in right away, but believe me, the wait is worth it.
Dear Susan,
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing your story. It truly means a lot to us. We know how real dental anxiety can be, and we're honored that you trusted us with your care. We're so glad Dr. Joy Lin and our team were able to help you feel comfortable and change the way you think about going to the dentist.
Your kind words and recommendation mean the world to us, and we're grateful to have you as part of the Mesa Dental family. We look forward to seeing you at your future visits!

Fantastic experience: This was the BEST dental visit I have ever had. every single person was incredibly welcoming, friendly and accommodating. The office was beautiful and clean. The doctor was so kind and really listened to me and had really helpful suggestions that I have felt have been overlooked by other dentists. My cleaning technician Crystal was so kind and did such a good job. Their scheduling team is wonderful and I am so happy to have found such a great dentist in Santa Barbara!!

Thanks so much for your feedback James!
Fantastic experience: professional, pleasant (my wife called her a sweetheart), saved me a ton of money putting back a tooth that popped off an implant, high volume office but dr. lin makes you feel important
Dear Kevin,
Thank you so much for the kind words!
We’re so glad we could help save your implant and avoid a costly replacement. And thank you for recognizing the care and attention Dr. Joy Lin gives each patient.
We truly appreciate your trust and thank you for visiting Mesa Dental!
Fantastic experience: Referrals are always the way to go. Dr. Lin and her team live up to their reputation! From my initial call, the front desk was diligent in getting us scheduled for a first exam and cleaning, and followed through on the promise of moving us up if anything came available sooner. They were proactive in retrieving x-rays from our previous dentist which is usually so tedious. We were greeted with warmth and smiles all around. My daughter had an exceptional experience with Dr. Lin who really explained flossing in a way I had failed to do! The hygeneist whose name escapes me is absolutely wonderful. My daughter left both appointments feeling confident and full of JOY. ;) HIGHLY recommend.
Dear Jaclyn,
Thank you so much for your kind words and recommendation. Referrals truly mean a lot to us, and we’re so glad your family had such a positive experience with our team. We especially loved hearing that your daughter left feeling confident and full of joy after her visits with Dr. Joy Lin.
We appreciate you recognizing our front office team and hygienist for making the process smooth and welcoming.
Thank you again for trusting Mesa Dental with your family’s care. We look forward to seeing you both again soon!

Creating a comfortable and supportive experience for our patients is always our goal, and it truly means a lot to know that came through during your visit.
We appreciate your trust in Mesa Dental and look forward to seeing you again soon!
Fantastic experience: It would be impossible to overstate Dr.Joi Lin’s excellence and professionalism. Today, she replaced two of my old, tired crowns with beautiful porcelain models. Dr. Lin has the capacity to make crowns in office which cuts down on having a follow-up appointment for the final product which is convenient. Her work is outstanding, calm, and pain free. Dr. Lin has patient comfort and tolerance in mind while balancing all the other aspects of this process which must be a challenge. Top notch dentistry along with kindness and compassion. Her dental assistants Jo and Marisela project the same qualities in their supportive care. I am extremely grateful for Dr. Lin and the team she has assembled at Mesa Dental. Highly recommend.
Dear S,
Wow. Thank you so much for your kind words, it really means a lot to our whole team at Mesa Dental.
We’re so glad you had a great experience with Dr. Joy Lin. She takes a lot of pride in making sure everything looks great, feels right, and is as comfortable as possible. Being able to complete crowns in one visit is something we are excited to be able to do, so it’s great to hear that convenience made a difference for you.
We also really appreciate you recognizing Jo and Marisela. They play such an important role in creating a welcoming, supportive environment, and we’re lucky to have them.
Thank you again for your trust and recommendation. We truly appreciate it and look forward to seeing you next time.
Fantastic experience: Can't get much better. Thanks ladies
Dear Ryan,
We appreciate your kind words and thank you for visiting Mesa Dental!
Fantastic experience: Always wonderful service and the best dental technician around
Thank you for your feedback Susan! We very much appreciate your time.
Fantastic experience: I had been going to this office under the previous owner for over 30 years and was very worried about the new owner. It turns out that Dr. Lin is even better than the previous owner. She cares a lot, takes her time to explain what she’ll be doing next and makes sure that it never hurts. The entire staff is also all women and it’s wonderful to hear them talk and laugh in the background while you’re being worked on. Highly recommended.
Dear Hans,
Thank you for visiting us and thanks so much for your kind words and for trusting us after so many years with the previous owner. We truly understand how important that transition can be, and it means a lot to hear that you’ve had such a positive experience with Dr. Joy Lin.
Dr. Joy Lin is very passionate about providing gentle, thorough care and making sure every patient feels comfortable and well-informed, so your feedback means a great deal to her and our entire team at Mesa Dental. We’re also glad you enjoy the welcoming and positive atmosphere in the office, that’s something we genuinely strive for every day.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We truly appreciate your trust and recommendation. It means a lot to hear that you had a great experience and especially your little one’s first visit!
Thank you for visiting Mesa Dental and we are looking forward to seeing you all again soon!
Fantastic experience: The receptionists set the tone for the way your experience is going to be because they are a breath of fresh air, warm, friendly and full of joy. I had a teeth cleaning for this visit and it is typically with Lynnette. I always see Lynnette for my cleanings because she is precise, attentive, joyful and understands my threshold for pain is low when it comes to the dentist but she was out of the office. I had Gloria for the first time cleaning my teeth and she was awesome! Mesa Dental runs like a well oiled machine because Gloria was like the rest of the staff, she was friendly, careful, caring and very joyful. You can feel the sense of family amongst the employees and they make sure everyone feels welcome. Thank you
Thank you so much for your kind words. It has really been a pleasure treating you and your family. We look forward to continuing to treat you in the future. Thank you for choosing us as your dental team.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Mesa Dental for many years. I trust them completely and highly recommend this terrific office. Their expertise, their knowledge and kindness sets them apart. I know my dental needs are in the best of hands. I had moved away and could not find a dentist that I could feel comfortable or fully trust with their recommendations. I still live out of the area, but chose to make the drive to know I have peace of mind. It’s worth it!

Fantastic experience: I had avoided dental work for MANY years because I’d had so many bad experiences in the past. I finally got up the nerve to go, since my husband assured me that Dr Lin and her team are very good. He was right. Every encounter, every experience was as good as it can get at with a dentist and at a dentist’s office. Kind, gentle, friendly and respectful. Thank you Dr Lin and all of your team.

Positive experience: The TV on the ceiling is a great diversion from what is going on in your mouth! I was surprised that Mesa Dental doesn't make computer-generated crowns in their office and still do temporary crowns, with a 2-3 week wait for the final crown. But everyone was very courteous and helpful.
Thanks so much for your feedback Nancy. We’re glad you enjoyed the ceiling TV!
While we don’t make crowns in-house, we work closely with trusted labs to ensure every crown we place looks great, fits perfectly, and supports long-term dental health. Whether made here or off-site, quality and care are always our top priorities.
