Family Dentistry Β· San Diego
Family dentist in San Diego β kids, adults, and everyone in between
We see patients of all ages at one practice. Whether you are booking your child's first cleaning, a routine exam for yourself, or care for an aging parent, we keep it comfortable, on schedule, and easy to understand.
Kids genuinely welcome β not just tolerated
We slow down for young patients. No rushing, no scary instruments left visible, and plenty of honest explanations at their level.
Hours that fit working families
Open Monday through Saturday, with early Thursday and Friday slots starting at 8 AM. Sundays by appointment.
Bilingual staff β Vietnamese, Spanish, English
Many of our patients prefer to discuss care in Vietnamese or Spanish. Our clinical and front-desk team speaks your language.
Denti-Cal and most PPO plans accepted
We work with Denti-Cal and most major insurance. We verify your benefits before your appointment so there are no bill surprises.
One roof for the whole family
Cleanings, fillings, crowns, orthodontic screenings, and more β all at one address so you are not coordinating care across multiple offices.
What we offer
Family dental care β all ages, one practice
From a baby's first tooth to a parent's crown, we handle routine and restorative care under one roof so you are not managing multiple providers.
Preventive cleanings and exams
Twice-a-year cleanings, X-rays, oral cancer screening, and cavity checks for the whole family.
Children's first visits
We recommend bringing kids in around age one or when their first tooth appears. We make it a positive experience, not a stressful one.
Sealants and fluoride
Protective coatings for kids' molars and fluoride treatments to strengthen developing teeth.
Orthodontic screening
Early assessment of bite and alignment issues before they become harder to correct.
Fillings and restorative care
Tooth-colored fillings, crowns, and repairs for patients of all ages β including baby teeth that need to stay healthy until they fall out naturally.
Gum disease treatment
Scaling and root planing for adults with gum disease, plus monitoring and maintenance to prevent recurrence.
How it works
Making family appointments easy
Schedule everyone at once
Let us know you are booking for multiple family members. We try to stack appointments back-to-back so you make one trip instead of three.
New patients fill out forms once
Online forms are available before your visit so you spend less time in the waiting room. Kids' forms are shorter and parent-assisted.
We explain everything β to patients of all ages
We talk to children directly, not just to the parent in the room. Older patients get written summaries they can take home. No one leaves confused.
Ready to schedule?
Book online or call us β we will find slots for the whole family.
Insurance & payment
We accept Denti-Cal and most PPO plans
Many of our patients use Denti-Cal (Medi-Cal dental) benefits. We also work with most major PPO dental insurance plans. When you schedule, give us your insurance information and we will verify your benefits before your visit β so you know what is covered and what your out-of-pocket looks like before you sit in the chair.
Our office is at 5296 University Ave in City Heights, right next to Vien Dong Supermarket. We serve families from City Heights, El Cajon, College Area, Kearny Mesa, and across San Diego County.
