Life in Ventura: who we see every day

Ventura sits along the Southern California coast, just south of Santa Barbara and north of Oxnard. It is a city known for Surfer’s Point, the Ventura Pier, the Channel Islands National Park Visitor Center, and the San Buenaventura Mission.
People here surf before work, walk the promenade on weekends, and visit the Ventura Farmers Market on Saturday mornings. They work in healthcare, education, tourism, and at the nearby Naval Base Ventura County.
Many of the patients who come to our Ventura office are busy.
- They delay dental visits because of work schedules, childcare, or because they simply have not found a dentist they trust yet.
- Some have dental anxiety from past experiences.
- Others need to use Medi-Cal or Denti-Cal and cannot find an office that accepts it.
We hear these stories every week, and they are exactly why Channel Islands Family Dental exists.
