Dr. Kaci Kuykendall Family & Cosmetic Dentistry

Meet your dentist

Dr. Kaci Kuykendall, DDS

"Dentistry allows me to build long term relationships founded on promoting prevention. As a dentist, I have the privilege to care for patients from twelve months through childhood to adulthood, which is a unique and important quality to my practice."

Hometown roots, big-city training

Dr. Kaci's compassion and innate ability to nurture led her to the health care profession. Building relationships while providing gentle, nurturing dentistry has been the heart of her career ever since.

A proud Turlock High Bulldog, she participated in softball, tennis, and cross country before heading to California State University, Fresno, where she earned her degree in Kinesiology and Biomechanics as a proud Fresno State Bulldog. She then pursued dentistry at the University of the Pacific's Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco, one of the country's most respected programs.

Dr. Kaci always knew she wanted to come home. Providing dental care in her hometown was the plan from the beginning, and it is exactly what she has built: a practice where patients are known by name and cared for like family.

Away from the office, Dr. Kaci balances life with her husband Dustin, their boys Baron and Ellis, and their little girl Blythe. Above all she values quiet time with family and friends.

Beyond the office

Family first, always

The same values that shape her home shape her practice: patience, warmth, and showing up for people season after season. When you bring your family to Dr. Kaci, you are trusting them to someone who treats patients the way she would want her own three kids treated in the chair.

Off the clock

A few candid moments

Not everything worth knowing about a dentist happens in the operatory. Here is a little of the rest: the team out having fun, the kids, the dog, and the ranch at the end of the day.
