OUR SERVICES
Routine Exams
The dentist will examine your mouth, teeth and gums. They will check for any signs of oral health problems, such as tooth decay, gum disease and oral cancer.
The best way to prevent larger problems in the future is to get regular check-ups now!
Dental Hygiene
A dental cleaning, also known as a prophylaxis , is a professional dental procedure performed by a hygienist or a dentist. It is an essential part of oral hygiene and helps maintain healthy gums and teeth.
Dental Fillings
Dental fillings allow us to replace weak or damaged tooth structure with white material that mimics the your natural tooth and prevents decay from progressing.

Dr. Katherine Vance
Dr. Vance graduated from Loma Linda University in 2020 and first began working at her family's dental practice in Minnesota. She married a pilot in the Marine Corps who is stationed at Camp Pendleton and thus returned to the west coast! She worked for a dental practice in Loma Linda before deciding to open up her very own practice here in Oceanside to be close to home. She believes everyone deserves quality dental care and strives to make each of her patients feel comfortable. In her free time she enjoys hiking with her 3 dogs and traveling with her husband.
