Where Your Comfort & Your Smile Come First
At Ukiah Dental, we don’t just care for teeth — we care for people. Dentistry, to us, is a relationship built on trust, compassion, and genuine human connection. For over 36 years, we’ve had the privilege of helping individuals regain confidence, comfort, and joy through personalized, high‑quality dental care.
Our journey began in Westwood Village, Los Angeles, continued in Pasadena, and for the past 17 years, we’ve proudly served families throughout Ukiah and Mendocino County. No matter where you come from or what brings you in, you’ll always receive our full attention, respect, and commitment. You matter — and your smile matters.

Our Passion. Our Purpose. Your Smile.
Our passion — and our purpose in life — is to share our expertise and create the kind of smile transformations that bring pure joy, renewed confidence, and long‑term dental health.
We believe in true teamwork between you and us — your dental team. You are the captain, and we are your compass and map — guiding, supporting, and helping you navigate every step of your dental journey.
Together, we plan, create, and maintain the smile you’ve always dreamed of. When your smile becomes healthier, brighter, and more confident, we feel the same joy you do — because your success is our purpose.
Care for Every Patient. Every Smile. Every Need.
Whether you have insurance or not, whether you’re in‑network or out‑of‑network — you are welcome here.
We serve patients with and without insurance because every person deserves excellent, compassionate care. We are also an in‑network provider with Delta Dental of California (Regular, Premier, and PPO plans), and we work closely with all patients to make high‑quality dentistry accessible.
Because everyone deserves a healthy, confident smile.
Happy Customers
Here are a few stories from our
journey that reflect our core values
😊 Lisa’s First Smile in Years
Lisa came to us anxious and embarrassed about her smile after years of dental fear. With patience and gentle care, our team worked together to restore not only her oral health, but her confidence. Today, she’s back to laughing without hesitation.
👨👧 A Father-Daughter Tradition
Tom first visited us over a decade ago. When his daughter turned five, he proudly scheduled her first checkup at Ukiah Dental—continuing a family tradition of smiles. Watching families grow with us is one of the most rewarding parts of our work.
👵 Maggie’s Surprise Visit
At 80 years young, Maggie had one wish—whiten her smile for her granddaughter’s wedding photos. She walked out of our office beaming and shared her story at the reception. Her joy reminded us how every smile tells a beautiful story.
Michael L.
Exceptional service! I could not ask for better treatment!
Joseph F.
Friendly staff. Explains procedures and billing very well. Very thorough dental work.
Mark H.
Dr. Phillips and his staff make you feel relaxed in a clean and professional office. My filling was done with a perfect color match to my teeth and I’m very happy I found them!
Harold D.
Very professional, and very helpful. Cleaning was excellent and consultation with the dentist should help with the problem I have with grinding. Saved me from fillings that would not last, and coming up with a plan to consider.
