Christian J Craig, DDS

Love love love everyone of their staff members! They are just supremely genuine, considerate, awesome folks that know what they’re doing and do it very well! Not mention the addition of perhaps their strongest worker, the fabulous Mr. B, bless his heart.

What a great find!
We looked up holistic minded dentists in the area and found Dr. Christian!
He has repaired and saved my daughters very damaged molars! (one down, more to go!)
She said «Best dentist visit ever!!»
Thank you so much all of you! Sweetest most sensitive staff!!! Also the fact that Dr. Christian’s work is so precise !!!
once again, we can’t thank you enough!
Karen and Amy :-)

Craig is the man — plain and simple; best dentist I have ever been to by a long shot and I suspect the best dentist to have lived in the past 500 years.
Myself, I’m a perfectionist when it comes to doing a lot of stuff in life — like metal work or fabrication or motorcycles, cars, etc. Dr. Christian is a perfectionist when it comes to dentistry. When it comes to my teeth, frankly, I want someone who is borderline fanatical about repairing teeth; someone whose every waking thought revolves around how to be the best dentist possible — this person, as near as I can determine, is Craig Christian.
I refer to Craig as «the master of the needle», due to his near magical ability to deaden large portions of my mouth without so much as even the slightest sensation of pain or discomfort. And not only is Craig fantastic, but so is his entire staff. I never thought I would enjoy visiting the dentist, but in fact, I do.
If you demand the absolute best when it comes to your teeth, this is the guy you’ve been seeking.

I wasn’t happy with my old dentist (yes, he was getting quite old) and I needed to get some work done on my front teeth. I started seeing Dr. Craig Christian because of his experience in «cosmetic» dentistry. I’ve been going there now since 2007. It’s a bit of a drive from Salinas but it gives me an excuse to get out of town and visit the coast in Pacific Grove.
I enjoy chatting with the office staff gals; the office manager/​receptionist (Dr. Christian’s wife), the hygienist and the dental assistant. Very friendly trio. Then there’s Mr. B. He’s quite a character. You just have to meet him! And, oh yeah, can’t forget to mention Dr. Craig. Not too shabby (for a dentist). Actually, he’s a good guy and I’m happy with the work he’s done.
Sometimes after my visit, I drive down to Asilomar beach. But my usual routine is to have lunch at the Pacific Thai Cuisine restaurant. There’s nothing as good in Salinas and it’s only one block away (so much for my clean teeth). Then I stop at Trader Joes to pick up some goodies before returning home.
I would definitely recommend Dr. Christian and his team. The only drawback is that they are not part of the Dental Dental network. I have to pay up front, but they bill my insurance and the allowed amount is refunded to me by Delta Dental.
