Serving Kearny Mesa, San Diego
The Vietnamese-speaking dental practice Convoy Street families drive to — Denti-Cal, fair pricing, multilingual.
Kearny Mesa's Convoy Street corridor is the heart of San Diego's Vietnamese community — the supermarkets, the pho restaurants, the cultural organizations, the temples. For many Vietnamese families in Kearny Mesa, finding a dental practice where the front desk and the dentist speak Vietnamese fluently is not a convenience, it is a prerequisite. Nhat Khanh Dentistry has served Vietnamese-speaking families for over 30 years, and our team speaks Vietnamese, Spanish, and English. We accept Denti-Cal and Medi-Cal, and we are experienced moving Denti-Cal pre-authorizations in 1-2 weeks rather than the standard 6-8 week industry norm. Many Kearny Mesa families drive the 15 minutes south to our office specifically because finding a Vietnamese-speaking dentist who also accepts Denti-Cal is rare in the Convoy area.
Starting point: Convoy St & Aero Dr
From Convoy St & Aero Dr, head south on Convoy St or Kearny Villa Rd to I-805 south, then take the University Ave exit east.
