About Thomas Blake DDS
Thomas Blake DDS is a dental practice at 1515 State St in Santa Barbara, California, with a stated focus on biomimetic dentistry — conserving natural tooth structure and building restorations that reproduce the strength, function and appearance of the natural tooth. The practice describes biomimetic work in adhesive terms: only damaged and decayed tissue is removed, and the final restoration is bonded to the remaining healthy tooth. Its documented biomimetic range includes stress-reduced direct composite restorations and porcelain or composite inlays and onlays intended to restore the biomechanics of broken and damaged teeth. The wider service list covers preventive, restorative and cosmetic dentistry, implants, crowns, bridges, veneers, Invisalign, TMJ treatment, sleep apnea and snoring therapy, full mouth reconstruction and emergency care. The practice states a holistic approach weighing the connection between oral health, function and overall well-being, with treatment kept as biocompatible, conservative and non-invasive as it can be.
