About Anacapa Dental Art Institute
Anacapa Dental Art Institute is a cosmetic-focused practice on North Ventura Road in the Riverpark neighborhood of north Oxnard, set up around smile-design work as the core of its program rather than as a side service tacked onto general care. The office handles porcelain veneers, in-office whitening, dental bonding, and multi-visit smile makeovers as the bulk of its appointment book, drawing cosmetic patients from Riverpark, Channel Islands, and the broader north Oxnard professional community. The "Art Institute" framing reflects an aesthetic-first orientation rather than a generalist mix.
Patients searching for a cosmetic dentist in Oxnard, CA, dental bonding for chipped tooth in Oxnard, or veneers and whitening package in Oxnard can find a focused cosmetic workup here, with porcelain veneers, composite veneers, in-office whitening, and dental bonding handled in-house, plus structured multi-visit smile makeover treatment plans for patients pursuing a more substantial aesthetic change. The practice walks through porcelain-versus-composite material trade-offs — durability, cost, longevity — before settling on a treatment direction rather than defaulting to the higher-margin option.
If you've broken or chipped a front tooth and want a Riverpark-area cosmetic dentist who handles bonding repairs day-to-day rather than routing the case to a specialty office, Anacapa is the kind of focused practice that fits the front-tooth ask.
Cost-wise, Anacapa Dental Art Institute runs in the upper-mid range for a Ventura County cosmetic practice — porcelain veneer cases are quoted as multi-visit packages with material and longevity trade-offs walked through up front, and bonding or whitening visits are priced in the typical north Oxnard cosmetic range. Cosmetic consultations here typically run longer than a routine cleaning visit since the planning step matters more than the procedure time on most veneer cases. For Riverpark and north Oxnard patients comparing cosmetic dental options, this practice belongs on the shortlist of established smile-design clinics. Cosmetic consultations here typically include a structured shade-and-tooth-shape preview before any veneer work begins, and photo records of prior cases are kept on file so patients can see the practice's actual aesthetic range during planning.
Anacapa Dental Art Institute is a Riverpark cosmetic dental practice on North Ventura Road, focused on veneers, whitening, bonding, and smile makeovers for north Oxnard patients seeking aesthetic dental work.

Amazing dentist! I recommend all my friends here because its the first dentist i have ever happily went to and they do great work and it doesnt hurt
The whole staff are very kind, attentive and they listen and actually care. They present multiple options without being pushy. Anyone apprehensive about dentists can feel comfortable about Anacapa Dental Institute.
I love coming to appts and meeting new staff feels like I’ve known them forever and the Dr it always so nice to catch up and talk to him as if we’ve known each other forever! Always such a great day going to My dentist Appt ❤️ Denise is new and was great felt like I knew her! Thank you for your help!
Was impressed with the professionalism of staff, up-to-date utilization of electronic devices for complete analysis of my personal dental situation and thorough explanation of what was found as well as needed treatment.
My experience with Dr. Jivraj was very pleasant. I had a sleep appliance built and although, I am just starting to use it, I want to thank them for their great service. What I thought is remarkable is how professional him and his staff at Anacapa dental treated me. I was treated with respect and professionalism. Since the first day they took the time to explain my plan, show me around. Simply said, they truly know how to make you feel special.
Anacapa dental and Dr. Sam Sallam is absolutely one of the most fabulous dentist I have ever dealt with. They purchased the dental practice from longtime Dentist Dr. Charlie Scholer. today. I went in for a very long appointment. The doctor spent 2 1/2 hours with me from the injections that I couldn’t even feel to the care and quality of work that they did was beyond words. This is absolutely an excellent dental practice and excellent staff. I would like to thank the assistant Vanessa who worked diligently to assist in all the preparation and working alongside Dr. Sam. From my personal perspective, the experience was wonderful. Normally you don’t say that about a dentist because you end up having a lot of pain, but Dr. Sam created the environment that it was pain-free from the beginning to the end even the machines that he used were running at a very low frequency that doesn’t affect the ears. Overall, the staff the work that the doctor did absolutely top-notch. They are located in somis California and I believe they have another office in another part of Ventura county. I recommend this dental office and Dr. Sallam. I would like to also recommend Dr. Raj who is the other owner and partner in the practice he did all the preliminary examinations on me spent time and evaluation that was very tho. Then when I went there today for the work, Dr. Sam did the execution and the dental work. Good job team good job
My dental work is by Dr. Sam and his assistant Vanessa. We are doing an implant and restoring another crown that I had lost. They are such a fabulous team. They are efficient and they work so well with each other; every move is relaxed and coordinated. I felt very comfortable with them as I sat in the chair having some highly technical work done. This is truly Dental Art! I was very happy with the care I received. Also the front of house staff, scheduling, finance and insurance, etc. charming efficient, kind really a great place for dental work of the highest caliber.
Laura, one of the dental “artists” there took such great care of me .. I am so endlessly grateful. I was looking forward to my temporary implant and she made it look fantastic !!!! Extremely skilled and passionate about what she does, which put me at such ease .. Dr J has been so incredibly helpful and his attention to detail and perfection is unmatched. I’m grateful to this team.. it is already feeling life changing. I can’t wait for the finale !!!!! You’re the best doctor j!!! So glad to have you in my home Town. I have told all my friends about you..
So impressed with the entire place! Office is new, clean and has all updated technologies making everything easier for dental treatment. But even beyond that, the people are just so wonderful here. I had an emergency root canal and then an emergency double dental implant and the team at this office went above and beyond to make me comfortable and care for me. Vanessa stood by my side while I sat for hours during procedures and explained everything she was doing along the way. And Dr Sam. Oh my goodness he was so kind and professional and worked through his lunch to get me in for my implant surgeries. He even gave me his kombucha from his lunch since I needed beverages and was low in blood sugar. He is very knowledgeable and took the time to properly examine all the images, correctly diagnosing my need for implants over root canals in both teeth (when they were taken out it was evident he made the right call). I didn’t get everyone else’s name but they were ALL so nice and wonderful and I will for sure make a longer drive just to come here for my dental needs. Thank you Anacapa!
I am so grateful for Dr. Jivraj. I never thought my teeth would be so comfortable, perfect and STRONG. I was very impressed with Dr. Jivraj, Laura, Alexandra and the rest of the staff as they do so much for me. I struggle with anxiety and immense fear when things go wrong with my teeth. I've never had an office make me feel so comfortable, confident and grateful. It's the only way to describe Dr. Jivraj's effects. A joy so great, you become and remain overwhelmed with gratitude. I genuinely hope that they all know how special they are to me. Thank you for giving me a better life, disposition and set of teeth. Even better than my natural teeth, post braces. I especially appreciate the sensitivity and kindness Dr. Jivraj and his team maintain when dealing with the various dilemmas I have and create. I was especially pleased to be treated by Laura this visit. She did such an amazing job throughout my process and continued to fix and build the perfect smile with Dr. Jivraj. I haven't gotten to thank her personally and I am happy I could tell her how impressive she is to me. You all changed my life. The office is so beautiful, safe, convenient, with up front parking. The office staff is great and the facility is pristinely clean and beautiful. I am always able to make an appointment within a day when needed. I also really appreciated the flexibility with financing and affordability. Dr. Jivraj WANTS to give you as a patient, the best results. He and his staff work immensely to make it happen. Thank you so much. 🙏❤️
This dental office truly goes above and beyond when it comes to patient care, professionalism, and creating a welcoming environment. I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Marlen during my recent visit to the dental office. From the moment I walked in, she made me feel welcomed, comfortable, and at ease—something that’s not always easy to find at a dental appointment! Marlen was not only professional but also incredibly kind and attentive. She explained each step of the process clearly, answered all my questions with patience, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire visit. Her gentle and caring approach truly made a difference. It’s rare to find someone who combines skill, compassion, and a genuine passion for patient care the way Marlen does. She is a true asset to the dental team, and I’m extremely grateful for the amazing service she provided.
