Santa Cruz dental offices stretch from Mission Street to Water Street and the Soquel Drive area. The Santa Cruz dentist list holds 72 entries. A rating helps with comparison, while reviews about your kind of care add detail. The trip to the office matters too, especially for a crown, braces or other treatment with return visits.
Dominican Way, Mission Drive and Portola Drive choices
Santa Cruz Family Dentists and Daniel Hulme have Dominican Way entries. Phillip Zeip and iSmileSpa are listed on Mission Drive. Mission Street adds Westside offices; it is a different part of town from Mission Drive.
Kevin J Daily DDS has a Portola Drive entry. Cosmetic care and whitening address appearance, while implants replace a missing tooth. The treatment and any repairs needed first affect the bill.
Water Street visits for children and teeth straightening
Brent Porter has a Water Street practice for children. The children’s dentistry choices include routine prevention and treatment for damaged teeth. Braces and clear aligners involve moving teeth and checking progress over several visits.
An adult or child with a painful tooth can call about an urgent dental visit. The symptoms, such as pain, swelling or a broken tooth, help the office judge the next step. The exam shows whether the tooth needs repair or removal.
Care along the coast and into the San Lorenzo Valley
Capitola, Soquel and Aptos add offices east of Santa Cruz. Scotts Valley offers choices toward Highway 17, while Felton and Ben Lomond add options along the San Lorenzo Valley. Choosing a place near the trips you already make can ease a series of dental visits.
Santa Cruz questions about teaching care and Medi-Cal networks
What is a visit like at Cabrillo’s student dental hygiene clinic?
Cabrillo visits take longer than private-office appointments because students provide the care. An initial assessment checks your teeth and health history, then decides whether you qualify as a teaching patient. That assessment also sets how many visits you’ll need for the cleaning and other dental hygiene care.
Does an Alliance medical card put me in the same dental network?
Santa Cruz County explains that dental care uses a different network from regular medical care. Medi-Cal Dental can help locate a dentist for your dental benefits. For young children, the county identifies Mohana Awasthi on Soquel Drive as a Medi-Cal dentist seeing babies from age 6 months.
