Serving Chula Vista, San Diego
Spanish-speaking, Denti-Cal-friendly family dentistry — Chula Vista families make the drive for a reason.
Chula Vista has one of the highest concentrations of Hispanic families in San Diego County and a substantial Denti-Cal patient population. Families from Chula Vista regularly drive the 25 minutes north to our office on University Ave, and the reason is straightforward: finding a bilingual (Spanish and English) dental practice that also accepts Denti-Cal, moves pre-authorizations quickly, and does not charge a premium for being bilingual is harder than it should be. Nhat Khanh Dentistry has served Spanish-speaking families for over 30 years. Our front desk and clinical team handle Spanish, Vietnamese, and English, and we treat multigenerational households — grandparents through grandchildren — in coordinated appointments when possible. For Chula Vista families, the drive is an investment in care that actually fits their situation.
Starting point: 3rd Ave & H St
From 3rd Ave & H St in downtown Chula Vista, head north on I-805 for approximately 20 miles to the University Ave exit. Head east on University Ave; our office is on the south side between 52nd and 54th Streets, next to Vien Dong Supermarket. Total freeway time is about 20-25 minutes depending on traffic on I-805.
The Blue Line Trolley connects Chula Vista to downtown San Diego, from which an eastbound bus transfer or rideshare to University Ave is possible. For most Chula Vista families, driving I-805 north is the most practical option.
Our office at 5296 University Ave (Suite I) has free street parking along University Ave and 53rd Street, plus the shared lot for Vien Dong Supermarket next door. Wheelchair-accessible entry and ground-floor treatment rooms.
Every visit is the same comprehensive practice — these are the services that tend to matter most to the patients we see from Chula Vista.
