This is the best dentist I have ever gone too. I have had very bad experiences in the past that left me really afraid to do any type of dental work. This led me to not getting any work done for years. All staff is welcoming :) Both hygienist are very nice and understanding. The dentist as well she is very nice and understood I was nervous and everything was comfortable. I did a regular cleaning and got 4 fillings. I am heading in for my deep cleaning still a bit nervous but I know I am in great hands. Come here if you need any dental work!

I just had my first appointment and I was very happy! I went online to book and it was a couple of weeks out. I called the office and they got me in the next day instead! Wow! Also love that you can fill out all paperwork online and ahead of time. Very efficient! The office is very clean and the staff very friendly. Evelyn was my dental hygienist and was personable. Catherine was always very kind. I am very excited to have found a local dentist!

I don’t ever leave reviews but I would like to help anyone who was also in the process of looking for a dentist they can feel comfortable with and can trust. I am so grateful to the hygienist and Dr. Irasusta for being so patient and kind. I’ve always had a fear of going to the dentist, I’m embarrassed to say but my last appointment was over 6 years ago. They made me feel very comfortable even when I got emotional, they assured me everything was gonna be fine, definitely eased my anxiety and any worries I had leading up to my appointment. I’ve already recommended them to family and a friend who were also looking for a dentist.

Questions People Ask

Does Dr. Catherine Irasusta take Denti-Cal?

Yes. This dentist appears in the state's published list of enrolled Denti-Cal providers. Taking the coverage and having an opening are two different things, so still call ahead.

How do I make an appointment?

Call (559) 221-7303 and say you have Medi-Cal dental. Or use the form on this page. Your request goes to the office if it takes requests here, and to our team if it does not. Nobody else gets it.

What will it cost me?

For most Denti-Cal covered treatment there is no copay. If the office suggests something the program does not cover, ask for the price in writing before you agree.
