Meet the Team

People don’t stay with a dental office for the paint color. They stay for the people. At Kitto Dental, you’ll find doctors and team members who bring the same energy to every appointment: warm, organized, and genuinely invested in your comfort.

Dr. Alanna Huth, DMD, at Kitto Family Dental in Santa Maria
Outside the office, Dr. Huth’s world is her family. She’s married to a retired U.S. Marine combat veteran, and together they’re raising three little ones, a 6-year-old son, a 4-year-old daughter, and a 1-year-old son. Free time usually looks like museum days, zoo trips, and beach or park adventures.

Dr. Alanna Huth

DMD

Dr. Alanna Huth is the kind of dentist patients immediately feel comfortable with. Calm, attentive, and grounded in the fundamentals that support long-term oral health, she focuses on care that is clear, conservative, and thoughtfully delivered.


Dr. Huth earned her dental degree from Texas Tech School of Dental Medicine and has been in the dental field since 2009. She began practicing with Dr. Kitto in 2025, bringing years of experience and a steady, patient-first approach to the practice.


She enjoys the “bread and butter” of dentistry: the everyday care that protects function, prevents small concerns from becoming larger problems, and helps patients stay ahead of their oral health. Dr. Huth chose dentistry because she values helping people feel at ease in an environment that can be stressful for many.

Dr. Ashley Kitto Channer

DDS

Dr. Ashley Channer brings a steady blend of skill, warmth, and precision to every visit. A graduate of Loma Linda University School of Dentistry, she has practiced at Kitto Family Dental since 2011, working alongside her father, Dr. Robert Kitto, and caring for the same community she grew up in.

Having spent her entire career at this practice, Dr. Channer’s connection to Kitto Family Dental runs deep. She quite literally grew up here, watching the practice take shape around a philosophy of trust, conservative care, and long-term relationships. That foundation continues to guide how she practices today and how she cares for patients who feel like neighbors, friends, and family.

She’s spent most of her life on California’s Central Coast and feels grateful to still call it home. Outside the office, she enjoys time with her family, traveling when she can, photography, and experimenting in the kitchen. She and her husband have three children and two labradoodles, which keeps life full, lively, and grounded.

Dr. Laura Goldberg

DDS

Dr. Laura Goldberg is a general dentist with more than 30 years of experience and a deep commitment to compassionate, patient-centered care. She has worked alongside Dr. Robert Kitto since 2018 and is known for a calm presence, clear communication, and a steady, thoughtful approach to treatment.

 

Dr. Goldberg grew up in New Jersey and earned her Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of Houston. She went on to attend the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, where she was one of only four students selected to graduate from the Dental Care Center and received the Excellence in Oral Surgery Award.

Her philosophy is centered on compassion, education, and trust. She believes patients should fully understand what’s needed, why it matters, and every option available, and she takes great care to help people feel comfortable and informed throughout their visit.
