Services
What I find so rewarding about dentistry is how multifaceted it is and how I can improve the overall quality of a person's life by educating them about their dental health. My success is due to honestly caring for my patients on a personal level. I am passionate about providing excellent dentistry in a comfortable, non-threatening environment, both for my patients and my team.
It may be a cliche, but I love dentistry because I like to help people. I enjoy spending meaningful time with my patients, having real conversations, and getting to know the person in my chair. The technical stuff is just that; it's the people that make my days enjoyable. I attended the University of California Los Angeles, and earned my Bachelor of Science in psychological science.
I have a deep and genuine interest in providing quality dental care to each and every one of my patients, and I truly enjoy interacting with them. I have been practicing for over 30 years and I have had the opportunity to get to know many generations of families. Not a day goes by that I don't feel lucky to be practicing in a field I love.
When you're our dental patient, you'll always be treated professionally and compassionately, with respect for your individual situation. Dr. Jeffrey Rohde, Dr. Kelly Kendall, Dr. David Dart, Dr. Renata Da Fonseca Dr. Luke Sharron provide care that's based on your needs and goals. Rather than dictate a certain treatment path, they'll offer you care options and help you decide what's right for you.
We understand your need to receive treatment in a practice that makes you feel comfortable, safe, and welcome. Please feel free to schedule an appointment or stop by for a complete tour of our practice. You will get to meet our team, walk through our office and treatment areas, and learn more about the treatments we provide.

Their hygienists, staff at the front desk and dentists are all so friendly and personable. I always feel comfortable at their braids so new office and know that they are following all procedures to keep their patients safe and healthy. Our whole family goes to Drs. Kendall and Rohde. I absolutely love Meghan! She’s the best!

Dr Rhode is the best. This guy is high tech. 3D imaging. A mill that makes your crown while you wait in your car. Trained to do implants. A shiny new clean office and first rate staff. All of SB needs to know about this place.

I had such a great experience this morning at Kendall, Rohde & Associates! Everything seemed super safe and clean, I could tell they put a lot of effort into their COVID-19 procedures. Meghan was awesome, gentle but thorough and super friendly. You can tell she loves her job! Also their new office is beautiful. Definitely go to KRA if you are looking for a new dentist!

I've been going here for 25 years or so, got a recent checkup and cleaning after waiting for far too long. Teri and Dr Dart are still the best. The new(ish) office is beautiful, I get anxious for dental appointments, but it's a great relaxing atmosphere and they're just pros. 10/10, would recommend to a friend.

No one actually likes going to the dentist, but after being a patient at Kendall, Rhode, and Associates I don't mind going in for my cleanings. From the front desk staff to the dentists everyone is friendly and they really seem to care about their patients. Jeanette has been a wonderful hygienist. I feel like she's a friend now.

Dr Fonseca is a very compassionate and kind dentist who is always wonderful with my children. We have recently had some orthodontic issues with my son (new Invisalign from a separate orthodontic practice) that has resulted in some issues that needed addressing with his teeth. The practice found a way to have him seen immediately, and Dr. Fonseca took care of the situation (temporary and then full replacement filling), both times at no cost to me. I am very appreciative of the level of care we receive. They seem to go above and beyond here. Also, the receptionist is always very friendly and the

I had been a patient of Dr Rohde for about 2 years. I had been happy with the office, even referring a friend.

On Friday April 27th at 2 PM one of my crowns came out, I called the office to find that you close at 1 PM on Fridays, I thought "With 4 or 5 doctors in the office no one is there past 1 PM and not there on the weekends either? Oh well it IS urgent but not a true emergency, I will just wait until Monday morning".

So Monday morning April 30th I called first thing and was told that the soonest that I could be seen by ANY doctor would be May 21st. What???? I expressed my surprise

My children switched over to Kendall-Rhode and love it! My oldest son had a few baby teeth extracted recently and Dr. Kendall allowed me to sit in on the process in case my son needed the support. The process went quickly and smoothly without any complications! I was so impressed with the professionalism of Dr. Kendall and the staff that I have since joined as a new patient!

Check them out! Professional, great location and plenty of parking.

Fast, friendly, & affordable! I hardly have to wait for my appointments and when I do Dr. Dart has his own amazing coffee that he shares. The staff is always warm and efficient. I would recommend this dental office to anyone!
