Oxnard Dentistry is a general and orthodontic practice at 1730 East Gonzales Road, serving Oxnard and the surrounding 805. Our doctors and staff care for children, working adults, and seniors, often several members of the same family across the same week. Many new patients arrive on a recommendation from someone we have already treated, and that is the standard the practice is built around.
The work we do here is straightforward. We help people keep their natural teeth as long as possible, restore the ones that need rebuilding, and replace what cannot be saved with results that look and feel like the teeth they were born with. Everything behind that, the training, the technology, the planning, is built to make the experience feel uncomplicated for you.
Hundreds of Google reviews tell us this approach is working. The phrases that come up most often are "no pain," "kind," "thorough," and "they actually explained it." Those are the things we are most proud of.
Most of dentistry, in our office, is a conversation before it is a procedure. Before we touch your teeth, we take time to understand what is bothering you, what you have been told before, and what outcome would actually make you happy. Then we walk you through what we see, what your options are, what each option costs, and what we would do if you were our family.
This matters because dental work is permanent. A crown placed today is a crown you will live with for fifteen or twenty years. We would rather spend an extra ten minutes explaining the trade-offs than rush you into a treatment plan you do not fully understand.
Comfort is the other half of the practice. We use topical anesthetic before injections, slow our pace on numbing, and check in throughout every appointment. If something hurts, we stop. That is the rule. Our reviews tell us this is the difference between patients who avoid the dentist for years and patients who come back every six months on schedule.
The clinical team is led by Dr. Kourosh Keihani, DDS, a cosmetic and general dentist, and Dr. Tariq Jabaiti, DDS, who handles general and cosmetic cases. Between them, they cover most of what a family needs, including children's checkups, cleanings, fillings, crowns, root canals, and implants. For cases that benefit from a focused practitioner, we bring in specialty-trained dentists for the portion of the case that requires that expertise.
If you have put off the dentist for a while, your first appointment here will feel different. We do not start with judgment about how long it has been. We start with a clean slate.
You will fill out a short health history, either online before you arrive or at the front desk. From there, a hygienist takes you back, captures digital X-rays (a fraction of the radiation of older film), and uses an intraoral camera to take pictures of your teeth that we review together on a monitor. You see what we see.
Dr. Keihani or Dr. Jabaiti then performs a complete exam: teeth, gums, bite, jaw, soft tissues, and a quick oral cancer screening. We talk through findings in plain language. If you need a cleaning and time allows, we do it the same visit. If you need treatment, we walk you through your options, what your insurance covers, and what your out-of-pocket cost will be before any work is scheduled. No surprises later.
Most first visits run about an hour. You leave with a written treatment plan, a clear cost estimate, and zero pressure to book anything you are not ready for.
"State of the art" is a phrase every dental office uses. What it actually means in this office:
Cone beam CT (CBCT) scans give us a three-dimensional view of your jaw, sinuses, and nerve pathways. For implants, wisdom tooth extractions, and complicated root canals, that view changes the plan. We can see where the nerve runs before we work near it, place an implant in the strongest available bone, and predict complications before they happen.
Digital X-rays replace film with sensors that produce images in seconds, with up to 80 percent less radiation than traditional film. We can zoom and adjust contrast on the monitor next to your chair, so we can show you the exact spot we are concerned about.
Intraoral cameras capture close-up photos of individual teeth. If we tell you a back molar has a hairline fracture, you will see the fracture yourself.
The point of the equipment is not the equipment. It is that we plan more carefully, work more precisely, and explain what we are doing with images instead of jargon.
A meaningful share of our patients had a difficult experience somewhere else before they found us. Some have not seen a dentist in five, ten, or twenty years. We see this often enough that we built our intake around it.
For mild anxiety, nitrous oxide (commonly called laughing gas) takes the edge off within minutes and wears off before you leave. You can drive yourself home the same day. For higher anxiety or longer procedures, we offer oral sedation, a prescribed pill taken before your appointment that leaves you awake but deeply relaxed. You will need a driver for that one.
If sedation is not the right fit, we use slower pacing, longer appointments, and a simple signal (a raised hand stops everything) to keep you in control. Tell us when you book and we plan the visit around it.
Cost is one of the top reasons people skip the dentist. We work to make this part easier.
We accept Denti-Cal, most major PPO insurance plans (including Delta Dental, MetLife, Cigna, Aetna, and Guardian), and selected HMOs. Our front desk verifies your coverage before your appointment and tells you what your insurance will pay, what it will not, and why.
For treatment that goes beyond what insurance covers, we partner with several third-party financing companies that offer monthly payment plans, often with zero-interest promotional periods. We can submit your application from the front desk in a few minutes.
Our office sits at 1730 East Gonzales Road, just east of Rose Avenue and a short distance from Highway 101 in north Oxnard. We are a convenient drive from Camarillo, Ventura, Port Hueneme, and Oxnard Shores. Closer to the office, we regularly see patients from El Rio, Strickland Acres, and Kamala Park.
A significant portion of our patients are most comfortable in Spanish. Our front desk, hygienists, and dentists include Spanish speakers, so insurance questions, treatment explanations, and post-visit instructions can happen in the language you prefer. Sí, hablamos español.
