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
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
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.
Originally from Seoul, Korea, Dr. Pak has lived in Pasadena and now calls Grover Beach home. Outside the office, he enjoys traveling, exploring history, and trying new restaurants. What keeps him grounded is simple: his wife, who he proudly calls his best friend.
After a visit with Dr. Pak, he wants patients to feel one thing above all: confident that they’ve found a dental home—care they can count on for life.
Dr. Jonathan Pak
DDS
Dr. Jonathan Pak brings three decades of experience—and a calm, steady presence to every visit. A graduate of the UCLA School of Dentistry, he’s spent the last 30 years helping patients feel confident in their smiles while keeping the bigger picture in focus: long-term oral health, not quick fixes.
Dr. Pak’s path into dentistry started with service. While volunteering at the SOS dental clinic, he saw how much relief and confidence the right care can bring—and that’s what’s kept him committed ever since. His approach is simple and thorough: look beyond the tooth in front of you, understand the full story of your oral health, and build a plan that supports you for the long run.
He especially loves cosmetic dentistry, because the right changes can do more than improve a smile—they can change how someone carries themselves in the world. But no matter what treatment you’re here for, Dr. Pak is known for being thoughtful, clear, and conservative in his recommendations
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. After completing her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree in 1991, she spent the next 20 years owning and practicing in her own general dental practice in Southern New Jersey.
She later relocated to California’s Central Coast to be closer to family in the Bay Area and has been proudly serving the local community ever since. 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.

What It Feels Like to Be a Patient Here
From the front desk to the clinical chairs, we keep things organized and calm. Clear handoffs. Clear communication. Dentistry should feel steady, not chaotic. Your time matters. Your comfort matters more.
