What to Expect at Your Visit
When you arrive, our team will greet you, help with check-in, and answer any questions about your appointment or coverage. Each visit is grounded in respect and connection — more like seeing familiar faces than walking into a clinic.
Appointments are available Monday through Friday, 7:00am - 5:30pm, at our dental clinic in Porterville. Same-day care may be available for urgent needs.
