    I went into this office under recommendation and they couldn’t of been better of a recommendation!! Dr. was very patient with me and gave me quality time to really weigh pros and cons of my dental plan for a very sensitive situation. I was very stressed and worried; but leaving the office I felt confident and secure in our decision with my teeth moving forward. I am a professional athlete and Dr. Gustavo really put himself in my shoes on how urgent the matter was. If I could choose one dentist in world; it would be him! The rest of the staff was friendly and thorough... with a beautiful clean office.

    Finally found a dentist I like and trust! They are very thorough here, the OD explained everything he needed to do and why, answered all my questions, addressed and fixed all my concerns, did a deep cleaning and even took care of my smallest concerns like a strange chip in my tooth and they take medi-cal! COVID UPDATE: Carol did my cleaning today and she was extremely thorough, sweet and communicated to me all of the issues she found, what was good, what wasn’t good and what I could work more on and the specific tools I needed. Appreciated her transparency and the dentist office has made changes to protect and keep everyone safe. For cleanings in particular they stopped using the machine that blows all the air around and opt for hand cleaning instead which I feel is more precise. Carol then explained if she needed the bigger tools she would use them but prefers to air on the side of caution and prefers hand cleaning anyway All staff is always very nice and cool as well!

    This is not in the best location, but the kindness of the staff and dentist really do make up for that. I have been going here for almost 2 years. They are very open to working with your schedule. They are also great at getting you in very quickly.

    I was hesitant to change dentists after my previous dentist sold their practice. I'm glad I decided to give Channel Islands Family Dental a try. I was more than pleased. Their family-oriented practice, with a friendly, helpful office staff and very qualified dentist far exceeded my expectations.

    I had a killer toothache and was referred by a friend. They were able to get me in on an emergency appointment the same day and were very accommodating when I explained my previous experiences with dentists. Hoping to make this my new regular care office. So far, nothing but a good experience

    I’m an old patient on this clinic and so with the other 4 family members of mine. We have been patients in this clinic since 2014. We moved out of the city of Oxnard on 2018 and decided to come back this Jan. 2020 on this dental clinic because of its good quality care. They have good customer service. The receptionist are so patient and friendly in making appointments. They always make it to a point to accommodate the dates that we are available. The dentist cleans the teeth very well. I would highly recommend this dental facility. More power to Dr. Gustavo and all his staff.

    Omg, where to start. I hadn't been to the dentist in 20 years. Every person, from the receptionist to the dental hygienist to the Dr. we're exceptional!!! All were knowledgeable and performed their jobs with efficiency and professionalism! Courteous and friendly. I will recommend them to all of my family and friends.

    I've been coming to this location for over a year but just had to have work done besides cleanings. The staff is always so kind and the dentist pulled 2 teeth with very minimal pain. I definitely recommend this place to anyone that needs quality work done. Every one is so kind from the office ladies, the dental assistants and hygienist and the dentist is amazing.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Emergency dentist questions, answered

    What counts as a dental emergency?
    Severe or persistent tooth pain, a knocked-out permanent tooth, a broken or cracked tooth, swelling or signs of infection, and bleeding that won’t stop should be seen as soon as possible. The ADA advises calling your dentist with as much detail as you can.
    Go to the emergency room if you have fever with facial swelling and can’t reach a dentist, or if you have trouble breathing or swallowing. For injuries like a possible broken jaw, go directly to the ER.
    As fast as possible. IADT guidelines report the best prognosis when a tooth is replanted immediately, and root cells are likely non-viable after more than 60 minutes of dry time. Keeping the tooth in milk, saliva or saline helps while you travel.
    Yes. California’s DHCS lists emergency services for pain control, extractions, fillings and root canal treatments among Medi-Cal Dental covered services. Emergency dental services also remain covered under the 2027 benefit changes. We also accept Gold Coast Health Plan, TRICARE and most PPO plans.
    Our offices are open Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM. If an emergency happens when we are closed, the ADA recommends going to your local emergency room. Call us first thing the next business day for follow-up care.
    No. The ADA advises not to put aspirin on the aching tooth or gum tissue. Rinse with warm water, floss gently, and call us.
