Family Dentistry in Monterey County



We have been serving the dental needs of our community since 1972. Our practice has grown exclusively through the referrals and kind words of our patients. We know that you will be very pleased with the services our office offers. The quality of our care is excellent, patient care is our top priority and our staff constantly strives to be the best.



Your first visit, unless there is an immediate problem, will be for a complete comprehensive oral examination, which includes an oral cancer and blood pressure screening. With your permission, necessary digital radiographs will be taken. This is a good time for you to inform us of any areas of discomfort, problems chewing, or cosmetic changes that you desire.



At the conclusion of this visit, we will discuss your treatment options and formulate a treatment plan. This appointment takes about an hour. The next step is normally an appointment with one of our Registered Dental Hygienists for a complete periodontal (gum and bone) evaluation. A dental cleaning is usually a part of the plan unless periodontal issues are noted that this visit. We have found that this is the best way to get to know our new patients, what they want and need, and how we can best provide treatment.
