Dentists in Ventura (San Buenaventura), CA open on Saturdays

Western Dental - Ventura

The Ventura branch of a large California chain, and the most straightforward Saturday option on this list: a full Saturday shift from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with the office closed on Fridays instead. General dentists, specialists and hygienists all work out of the same building, so braces, implants and gum treatment happen in-house rather than by referral, and the office treats young children. It is the only practice here that says it accepts Denti-Cal (Medi-Cal Dental), and walk-ins are welcome, though the office recommends booking ahead to avoid a long wait. New patients are offered a free checkup and X-rays.

Johnson Family Dental - Ventura

A regional group practice in the Pacific View Shopping Center, between BevMo and Ross, that keeps a full 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. day on Saturday rather than a half-day. Its own page reports a 4.6-star Google average and a long in-house service list: cleanings, crowns, fillings, implants, dentures, clear aligners, braces, laser and sedation dentistry. If you are in pain, the office says to call for an emergency appointment and that in many cases it can see you the same day. The $29 exam-and-digital-X-rays offer is the cheapest posted first visit in this table.

Prime Dental Group

The widest Saturday window in Ventura, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., sitting on top of 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. four days a week, which makes this the easiest office here to reach around a job. The South Victoria Avenue practice covers general, pediatric, cosmetic, orthodontic and emergency care, and offers LANAP laser gum therapy for periodontal disease. It is also unusually direct about money for a dental office: $245 for a new-patient cleaning, exam and X-rays, and $100 for an emergency, cosmetic or second-opinion consultation. It is the only practice in this table that also posts Sunday hours.

Great Coast Dental

A small East Main Street practice built around getting people seen quickly: it advertises walk-ins, same-day appointments, evening hours until 7 p.m. on most weekdays, and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Emergency dentistry, extractions, crowns and deep cleanings are what it leads with, pitched as gentle and affordable rather than cosmetic. The trade-off is that this is essentially a one-page website: it publishes nothing about which insurance it takes, financing, or what a first visit costs, so those questions have to be asked on the phone.

Ventura Bright Dental

A Loma Vista Road clinic with the broadest posted service list here, running from preventive and pediatric care through orthodontics, implants and All-on-4 to emergency visits, and it says it works with more than 50 dental insurance providers. Its contact page lists office hours of Monday to Saturday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., which would be the longest Saturday day in this table. One warning: the footer on the same website says Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., so the site contradicts itself about Saturday. Call before you drive over.

Pacific View Dental Group

Dr. Periklis Proussaefs' Telegraph Road practice, and the one that leans hardest toward complex restorative work: dental implants, full-mouth rehabilitation, sedation dentistry and same-day crowns, with endodontists, pediatric dentists, anesthesiologists, orthodontists and prosthodontists on the staff. Saturdays here are by appointment only rather than posted hours, so it suits a planned procedure better than an urgent toothache. It accepts all major insurance plus CareCredit and LendingClub financing, and runs an in-house membership program for people with no dental coverage. Be aware the practice's website is dated and loads over an insecure connection.

Insight Dentistry of Downtown

The only downtown option here, a block off Main Street on North Oak, and the one whose Saturday hours need the most care: the office opens the first and third Saturday of the month only, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., so check the date before counting on it. The practice does general and aesthetic dentistry, implants, Invisalign and full-mouth reconstruction, has an endodontist on the team, and is closed on Thursdays. For people without insurance it sells a yearly membership plan covering two exams, two cleanings, X-rays as needed and 20% off other treatment. Its two sister offices, Mid Town Ventura and Ojai, are closed Saturdays, so make sure you book the downtown one.

Ventura Village Family Dentistry

Dr. Frank Esfandiari's practice on Telephone Road, at the East Ventura end of town, doing family, cosmetic and surgical dentistry: Invisalign, implants, veneers, crowns, laser dentistry, sleep apnea appliances and therapeutic Botox. It advertises Spanish-speaking care, same-day emergency service available seven days a week, and a 15% senior discount for patients 55 and over, on top of free exam and digital X-rays for new patients who go ahead with treatment. The Saturday caveat is real: the practice says it is open Saturdays but never publishes the hours, and its posted hours block runs Monday to Friday only, so you have to call to find out when.
