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
DDS
Dr. Alanna Huth is the kind of dentist patients immediately feel comfortable with—calm, attentive, and focused on the fundamentals that keep a smile healthy for the long run. She earned her dental degree from Texas Tech School of Dental Medicine and has been practicing for the past year, bringing a fresh, thoughtful approach rooted in conservative care and clear communication.
Dr. Huth loves the “bread and butter” of dentistry: the everyday work that protects function, prevents small problems from becoming big ones, and helps patients stay ahead of their oral health. She chose dentistry because she enjoys helping people feel at ease in a setting that can be stressful or fear-filled for many. That commitment shows up in how she practices: collaborative, steady, and patient-led. She believes treatment should feel like a team effort between provider and patient, with everyone on the same page and fully comfortable before moving forward.
Dr. Minyong Pak
DDS
Dr. Minyong 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
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.
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.
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.
Dr. Ashley 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 been practicing since 2011, helping patients feel confident in both their care and their smiles. She’s especially passionate about cosmetic and restorative dentistry—where thoughtful craftsmanship can restore comfort, function, and self-confidence in a way that feels natural and lasting.
Dr. Channer chose dentistry because she loves working with her hands, building real relationships, and helping people in a way that’s practical and personal. What’s kept her committed is the same thing that guides every appointment: a deep respect for her patients. She cares about comfort, pays attention to the small details, and works hard to make treatment feel smooth from start to finish—no surprises, no unnecessary stress.
She’s spent most of her life on California’s Central Coast and feels genuinely grateful to still call it home. Outside the office, you’ll find her with her family, traveling when she can, behind a camera, or in the kitchen cooking something new.
After a visit with Dr. Channer, she wants patients to feel one thing above all: safe. Heard. Comforted. And confident they’re in the right place. She and her husband have three children and two labradoodles—so life stays full, loud, and happily on its toes.
