Who We Are

Since 1986, Clove Dental has grown from a single office in Oxnard into one of Southern California's most trusted dental groups. What started as one family's dental practice is now ten offices strong, built around a simple idea: dental care should be comprehensive, convenient, and genuinely comfortable, no matter which of our locations you walk into.

Instead of sending patients out to specialists for every procedure, we bring general dentistry, cosmetic treatments, orthodontics, oral surgery, and pediatric care together under one roof. So, your entire family can be treated by a team that already knows your history.

What We Believe 

 At Clove Dental, everything we do is built around trust. We believe patients deserve to understand their own care, without pressure and without surprises. 

Our Mission

To deliver comprehensive, affordable dental care with complete transparency. Explaining every recommendation, respecting every patient's time, and never suggesting treatment that isn't needed.

Our Values

  • Transparency
  • Comfort
  • Consistency
  • Community
  • Accessibility

Our Vision
To be Southern California's most trusted name in family dental care, where every patient, regardless of insurance, budget, or dental anxiety has a comfortable place to start.

How We Treat Patients

We explain everything before we do it. If you don't understand why a treatment is recommended, we haven't done our job.

We don't recommend treatment you don't need. We only suggest procedures that genuinely serve your oral health, not our schedule. We tell you what it costs before you're in the chair. No surprise bills, no vague estimates.

If you've been putting off a visit, we're used to that. We'll start wherever you are.

What We Do

Our ten offices in Beverly Hills, Camarillo, Encino, Oxnard, Riverpark, Santa Monica, Sherman Oaks, Thousand Oaks, Northridge and Ventura, provide general, cosmetic, emergency, orthodontic, and pediatric dental care under one roof.

We also make care more affordable through the Clove Care Plan, our membership option starting at $16/month, which includes cleanings, exams, X-rays, and a discount on additional treatment with or without insurance. We work with most major carriers, including Delta Dental, UnitedHealthcare, Humana, Guardian, Cigna, Aetna, and Medicare.

To make care easier to manage day-to-day, we built the Clove DDS App, so you can book visits, track treatment, manage prescriptions, and reach our team from your phone.

We're also invested in the communities we serve, through local volunteering, patient education, and seminars across our ten neighborhoods.
