Christie Family Dentistry

I was apprehensive about going to a new dentist after relocating and having to give up my old dentist of 15 years. I was pleasantly surprised by the friendly and professional service my daughter and I received not only by the dentists but the staff as well. I would recommend them to anyone!!!

After seeing a series of bad dentist throughout my life I have finally found a dentist that I truly trust. I had previously gone to Western Dental and had the worst experience possible.
Dr Christie and his staff are excellent. Both friendly and extremely knowledgeable. He worked within my budget to help me get out of pain and got me on a path to getting my teeth in order. He was recommended to me by other patients of his and I am so happy to have finally found a dentist for me. I cannot recommend him enough. If you had a bad time at the dentist in the past this may be the place for you. Dr Christie and his staff we’re all very kind and compassionate and the entire experience was almost fun considering I was having a tooth extracted. After hearing of some of my previous experiences he worked hard to make sure that this was not another one, and he delivered. I’m actually looking forward to going back and getting the rest of my work done.

Dr. Mark takes the time to do a great job. Also you can enjoy a chair massage as you get your teeth cleaned!

Dr. Mark Christie went the extra mile for me. When I was injured on a Sunday while riding my bike, Dr. Christie dropped everything on a moment’s notice. Within 40 minutes after my phone call, he met me at his office and performed emergency dental care to try to save my damaged front teeth. Since that day, he has been proactive in his follow-​up care. He was both knowledgeable and kind.
Dr. Christie is part of a father-​son dental team here in Santa Cruz, helping our family’s dental care for over ten years. Both dentists and their support staff do a great job. Thanks Dr. Christie!

I came in with kind of an odd request (to get my canines filed down) and Mark took care of it quickly and easily. No BS – he was very straightforward about my options and didn’t try to sell me any extra procedures. Everyone there was friendly. Thanks!

I was for vacation in Santa Cruz, Looking for an dentist was bringing me to mr. Christie! Really nice and helpful! Would go there any time if i would living in SC!!!

I take pretty good care of my teeth, but my previous dentist’s behavior was so execrable, and so money-​grubbing, and his hygiene team frankly traumatic, that I skipped off going for a few years. I never saw the same person twice– it was like he took fresh Cabrillo graduates sight-​unseen into his practice, and left them unsupervised to torture people. I was able to leave all of that unpleasantness behind, when a dental-​phobic coworker turned me on to Dr. Christie.
What can I say? The hygienists aren’t representatives of the Spanish Inquisition. They’ve been in his practice multiple years, and know the art and science of their profession masterfully. After a multiple-​year break from scaling, I was so well taken care of by my hygienist that I was still able to eat after my cleaning. It’s also great to see a dentist who’s pleasant, congenial, and has enough empathy and good sense to keep me coming back every six months.
They’re great at working with my insurance policy, and when things have gone above and beyond what insurance has paid for my other half, they’ve been really reasonable about payment terms and arrangements. Sometimes a medical practitioner can be broken by their office crew, but I never get anything but a smile and a good word from Dr. Christie’s team.
If I ever left Santa Cruz, but was still within a hundred miles, I honestly think it’d be worth the trip to come back to see Dr. Christie every time. Get into his practice now! Keep him rich, so he doesn’t retire! My teeth need your help!
