So, what brings you in?
Pick the one that sounds like you. We’ll take it from there.
Dentistry, minus the dread.
Let’s be honest: the dentist hasn’t always felt great. Maybe you got rushed, lectured, or surprised by a bill. We built this office to be the opposite. We listen first, show you what we see on the chairside screen, and only recommend what you actually need.
That’s it. That’s the whole secret.

Three doctors, one game plan: listen first, treat gently, explain everything. All three see kids and adults (and yes, you can pick a favorite).

Kitto Family Dental has been part of Santa Maria for more than 40 years. Some families have been coming here for generations. Dr. Ashley Kitto Channer literally grew up in this practice, and she still runs it the way her dad, Dr. Robert Kitto, taught her: listen first, treat conservatively, explain everything.
Why do people stick around? Not the paint color. It’s the people, the honesty, and care that never feels rushed.
Your first visit, no surprises.
About an hour, start to finish. Here’s the short version.
Tell us your story
What brought you in, what has worked before, and what you’d love to change.
A gentle once-over
A full exam, an oral cancer screening, and only the x-rays you actually need.

Photos and x-rays up on the chairside screen. Ask us anything. Seriously, anything.
Your plan, on paper

Let’s talk money (the easy way).
Money questions are totally normal. Here’s how paying for care works here.
I have dental insurance
We work with most PPO plans. We check your benefits before you come in, file the claim for you, and give you a written estimate first. Paperwork? We’ve got it.
No insurance? No problem.
Our membership plan covers your cleanings, exam, x-rays, and fluoride for one yearly fee ($549 adults, $449 kids 14 and under), plus 10% off most other care.
I have a payment question
Payment is due at your visit. Cash, check, cards, CareCredit, and Cherry all work. Call us and we’ll walk you through it.
