"I have been going to Dr. Peabody's office for about 2 years now. The staff are incredible ... always friendly and happy and they go out of their way to make sure you're comfortable during all procedures. Dr. Peabody is a great dentist and a great guy, too! He explains things so that you can understand them and also wants your experience to be as comfortable as possible. In comparison to other dental experiences I've had, Dr. Peabody and his staff are the best!"

"For the first time in many years I can go to the dentist without all the childhood fears popping up. The entire staff are truly attentive to patients, answer all sorts of questions but most of all they care about their patients. After having some extensive work done by Dr. Peabody and follow ups with Carol for cleanings I can smile and enjoy it. Thanks to you all."

"DR Peabody & Carol & staff are the best dental experience I have ever had. (and I have tried a half dozen dentists ) I first started seeing Dr Peabody when I lived in Santa Cruz and I was immediately and pleasantly surprised with the genuine kindness,caring, and expert competence of staff. Unfortunately I moved away from Santa Cruz and wandered in the black void of sub par dental care for a number of years with a number of lame practitioners. I have a couple horror stories of apathy and incompetence. Once you have had the best it's impossible to settle for less when it comes to dental care and living well. They really do care and listen. I surrendered and realized that I would drive or fly any distance to have Dr Peabody and Carol and Staff take care of me. I returned yesterday for an exam and a cleaning. "Oh Glory Days" Let the band march, let the birds sing, etc. What a relief to finally come back to the best. I could relax, there was no pain, and I knew that I was getting the best care. I have really sensitive teeth and can spin myself up into knots with stress, but yesterday I was happy happy happy and my teeth are clean clean clean!!!!!"

A. It is common to have bleeding gums when flossing, but it is not normal. Like others have alluded to, if you floss inconsistently, you will see bleeding with flossing because the plaque between your teeth causes gingival inflammation. If you floss every day for a week, you should see the bleeding discontinue. There are other factors that can cause bleeding gums, but this is the most common scenario. I encourage you to see a dentist for an exam and cleaning for a true diagnosis. Hope this helps! Guy Peabody, DDS

Every dentist has heard this statement over and over again. One out of two adult Americans is so terrified of dental treatment that he or she puts off dentistry they know they need. If this sounds familiar, you are not alone. Sedation dentistry employs the use of traditional medical sedatives in such a fashion that you are comfortable during treatment and have little or no memory of the treatment afterward. In many cases, all dental work (including cleanings) can be done in only one visit... read more

As far as equipment is concerned, I have the best technology has to offer in the following:

 

Low dose x-ray equipment - for a thorough, complete, quality diagnosis with maximum patient safety and peace of mind.

 

Digital Photography - for proper treatment planning and documentation of all cases before, during and after all procedures. Our patients love seeing their "before-and-after" photos of their new smile.

Dr. Peabody with the San Diego Padres | Guy Peabody | Dentist | Santa Cruz, CA

 

I got into dentistry for a variety of reasons, but the main one is that I wanted to have a direct positive impact on people’s lives and help them feel and look better. As a child, I had an excellent dentist, one I strive to emulate to this day. He was professional, yet kind; calm and competent, and he had a gentle touch and demeanor. My family knew that whatever our dental needs were, he was going to take care of it with quality, long-term stability.  We knew we were in great hands... read more

What landed me in Santa Cruz were my church and my extended family. I love the Santa Cruz mountains and the ocean, the numerous out-door activities we can do year-round, and I think it’s the most beautiful place in the world to live and raise a family.

 

Yet, it’s the people that I love the most. Along with actively living my faith and participating in my church (I’m an Orthodox Christian), I am heavily involved in youth sports- mostly coaching little league baseball, but also youth... read more
