Marc H Bienstock, DDS, MD

Dr Bienstock took care of a complicated implant for me and I was very impressed with his patience and quality of care. His office staff (I have been to both offices) is courteous and accommodating. I would recommend Dr. Bienstock for any oral surgery needs.

I just had the best possible experience with Dr. Bienstock that I could possibly have had for an extraction (my first). It was clearly a difficult one (molar), and his patience, skill, and ‘bedside manner’ were all top-​notch. He really got me through what was a nerve-​wracking, difficult experience (through no fault of his!). His staff was similarly wonderful, and clearly love working for him. A few days ago, I wrote an unfortunately negative review for Dr. Brennan, one aspect of which was that he charged me $ 1212 for about 15 minutes of work. In comparison, Dr. Bienstock charged $ 340 for about an hour of very hard work. This works out to a difference of about 15 times — in their rate, and all the while Dr. Bienstock was SOOOO much kinder, considerate, and just plain decent. I cannot say enough good things about him. He answered all my questions at the outset, and clearly had concern for my comfort throughout. When I asked him at the start whether he’d be doing a bone graft, he explained that his belief on these runs contrary to most oral surgeons — that they usually unnecessary, and that many surgeons do them in order to charge more. This earned my respect, which was only further enhanced through the procedure. Wonderful.

I am from Carmel, CA and travel long distances to go to Dr, Beinstock.
While I was getting my wisdom teeth out, and having a separate root canal on a cracked tooth, Dr Beinstock found something no other dental professional found (I saw 3 others) — two aggressive cysts that were eating away my jaw. He was able to take both out and save me from what would have been reconstructive jaw surgery. He was patient, astute, genuine and most of all, the most skillful and knowledgable medical professional I have had the pleasure of knowing.
A great guy with a great ethic who has the best of intentions for his patients. He is a dentist AND a medical doctor. One meeting with him and you will see he is the best in his field. I highly recommend Dr Beinstock and would be willing to give an account of my experience to anyone interested.

A very skilled surgeon and a friendly man! Staff at both Santa Barbara and Goleta locations were extremely friendly, helpful and courteous. Upper wisdom teeth removal took no time at all, and instructions for post care were very clear. Charges were laid out very clearly and no surprises on the day of surgery. Also gives the option to fill out application form online before appointment to save time.
Highly recommended.

We have just had our second wisdom teeth removal experience with Dr. Bienstock, and we continue to be completely impressed with his abilities and caring attitude. Dr. Bienstock patiently explained the procedure and recuperation, and the extractions (4!) and anesthesia went flawlessly. He was available throughout my son’s recovery to answer any questions, and he and his office provided exemplary follow up care. Dr. Bienstock’s reputation as «the best» is most certainly valid. We will definitely use him again for our third child!

Dr. Bienstock and his staff are world class! Always happy with the level of service.

I had a really good experience with tooth removal by Dr. Bienstock. After hearing bad stories about complications and pain for wisdom teeth removed after age 30, I was surprised at how quick and painless it was. I only needed one ibuprofen after local anesthetic, and haven’t experienced any swelling. Marc Bienstock seems skilled at what he’s doing, and he and his assistants were willing to explain and discuss various options.
Their front office is very professional, and I liked that they are willing to work with people on a budget. The prices here were quite a bit more affordable than a prior dental office I had visited.
