The BEST dentist I’ve ever had. I’m not one for dentists but they make me feel comfortable and relaxed while they explain everything they are doing. Dr. Ian also called me to see how I was doing after the procedure. If your looking for a dentist I highly recommend there office.

I appreciate everything about SLO Smiles!
From the front desk to the dental chair, everyone is pleasant and professional.
I have been a patient of Dr. Murphy’s for nearly 40 years. He is one of the smartest and caring dentists you will ever meet.
In addition, I have seen Hygenist Maria Compton for a very long time. She is just wonderful and I have learned a lot from her.
Our family is very grateful to SLO Smiles.

Everyone is very helpful and pleasant to deal with. My hygienist Maria is so sweet and even though she’s sees a lot of patients, she always remembers me and asks about my job, pets, etc. Definitely makes a trip to the dentist easier! Highly recommend them!

Dr. Murphy and the team were attentive, explained procedures well, encouraged questions, and always gave priority to my comfort. The comfortable chairs and relaxing environment made for an overall pleasant experience. Also, staff were able to get me in almost 2 weeks before the originally scheduled appointment. The effort and teamwork were appreciated.

This was my second teeth cleaning visit with Lisa. As always her quality of care could not be better, she really cares for my comfort as she performs her procedure and gives me the best cleanings that I can ever remember having. I have enjoyed all my visits here at SLO Smiles and especially the front office staff, they always make me feel welcome and are willing to work with my schedule so the visits are at my convenience. I am so happy to have found SLO Smiles and will continue with visits here for all my dental needs. Thank you again SLO Smiles!

SLO Smiles is simply the best around! Scheduling is lean and mean. Staff is friendly and professional. Michelle’s attention to detail, skill level, and professionalism is unmatched. I actually enjoy my visits to this office and it’s easy to see why they won Best of SLO. Very thankful to have them provide care to me and my family.

Very happy to find SLO smiles after poor care from previous dentists. The staff is great, friendly, professional, and the care is top notch. Dr. Leopold was thorough, calm, and explained everything. Lissa did a perfect job cleaning without any discomfort. A good experience all around. Thank you.

I'm writing about hygienist Lissa Cera. I was so, impressed not only by her excellent work, but also by her skillful teaching of proper dental and gum care. I appreciate her directness and honesty.

Wow...I had just changed dentists after 40-years with my prior doctor, as he retired. I am so thrilled with SLO Smiles; from the moment I walked in and was greeted, to the new patient dental exam, and with the professionalism of the hygienist and Dentist. They use equipment that was not available with my prior dentist and offered a unhurried exam and discussion. So glad that I was lucky to find SLO Smiles.

First impressions starts with staff. Everyone with whom I came in contact was friendly and efficient. The high tech equipment blew me away. Visits to the dentist have been a part of my life since the Mid forties. The result is I still have all my teeth but some anxiety about procedures. The new methods work well to erase those memories. Of course none of this would happen if it weren’t for the excellent treatment by the Doctors.

As a new patient with SLO smiles I have to say that after two visits I give them a five star rating. I’m no longer apprehensive about getting my teeth cleaned. Liisa had all the tools to make me comfortable through an otherwise uncomfortable procedure. The office staff is friendly & helpful. Truly a remarkable team at SLO Smiles!

The word that comes to my mind regarding SLO Smiles is “Fast!” That is, I knew that Dr. Leopold was the Best dentist I had ever met in my 82 years very FAST! He and the staff are Fabulous! Please, Dr. Leopold, don’t retire for at least 20 years so that I can continue to see you and maintain my perfect dental health for the rest of my wonderful years here on the Central Coast! Sincerely, MDR

Love this dental office! I am terrified of going to a dentist due to bad experiences at dental offices and braves as a child. Everyone at SLO Smiles immediately puts you at ease and makes you feel comfortable, which to me is the most important thing because that will keep me coming back for proper preventative care.

I was impressed with Dr Main and his assistant Brittany. They were very professional and included me in planning my treatment. The office staff was pleasant and answered all my questions. I will be recommending this dental practice to friends.

I’ve had absolutely terrible experiences with other dentists , everyone at SLO smiles went about and beyond to keep me comfortable and calm. Ian and Mark answered all my questions and even showed me pictures of what they were doing. All the work I had done was as pain free and calm as it possibly could have been.
I get my teeth cleaned by Cambria, she is very thorough and efficient. She keeps it light and comfortable and understands my irrational fear of shots. I highly recommend her.
To wrap it up I’ll say five stars out of five and a bonus star for being open on some Saturdays.

Always a mix of professionalism and welcoming with a genuine concern to pass on tips to help me with my oral care. Maria, my hygienist, exemplifies this. I'm a fan of hers as was well as all the staff.

I have always been afraid of the dentist. I didn’t get over my fear until I found SLO Smiles and Dr. Mark Leopold. Dr. Leopold is a calming force, soft spoken with a sense of humor but, at the same time, knowledgeable, professional, and thorough,
The bonus was meeting my dental hygienist, Maria Compton. Her work is painless and thorough, and very competent. She is also an absolute sweetheart. SLO Smiles is very fortunate to have her on their team.
Dr Mark Leopold and Maria Compton take care of the patient like family,

I was "crowned" by Ian Leopold, and my coronation went off without a hitch. Educational entertainment was provided by their hi-tech milling machine which created my new crown right before my eyes in a matter of minutes. I will be requiring an additional crown soon, and have no misgivings about my next experience!

I had a very good experience with my recent appointment to have a new crown placed.
The appointment was on time, and the length of the procedure was exactly what was projected.
Dr. Leopold and his assistant were both very accommodating and professional. I'm also impressed with Ian's follow up phone call,

Dr. Craig Main went out of his way to make me comfortable and as pain free as possible. He is very personable and caring. Both he and Jamie his Registed Dental Assistant were very professional and excellent. My only criticism would be that I neglected to ask how long the procedures would take. I had very difficult upper tooth that needed both a root canal and a crown and both appointments were over 2 hours. That is a long time to have your mouth open.

I had a dental emergency when a veneer fell off late at night. I was seen the next morning and Dr. Main was able to cement the veneer back on. It looks like it never had come off. Nobody could tell it ever fell out. I trust the dentists at SLO Smiles to keep my teeth healthy and keep me smiling. Thank you for taking care of me.
