Santee Medi-Cal Dentist, the Denti-Cal-accepting arm of East County Family Dentistry in Santee, provides Medi-Cal dental coverage at 9280 Mast Blvd under founder Dr. Homayoun Ardjmand. A University of Iowa DDS graduate who completed his undergraduate degree magna cum laude at the University of Denver, Dr. Ardjmand holds a Voluntary Clinical Instructor appointment in the Department of Family Medicine and Public Health at UC San Diego Health Sciences, where he participates in student training and provides complimentary dental care to military veterans. Services span orthodontics — including Invisalign, clear braces, and traditional bracket systems — alongside general restorative work, pediatric dentistry, implant placement, and sedation protocols for children and adults. The practice also operates under the East County Family Dentistry name, with additional locations in Chula Vista and Escondido expanding Medi-Cal access across San Diego County, and medical referrals coordinate through Scripps Clinic Santee on Town Center Parkway for patients requiring pre-surgical clearances. Oral-health screening for dermatological manifestations of systemic conditions aligns with the diagnostic services at Humberto Gallego, MD inside Sharp Rees-Stealy Santee's dermatology department on Cuyamaca Street. Phase 1 interceptive orthodontic appliances for mixed-dentition patients use nickel-titanium archwires generating continuous forces between 50 and 75 grams to guide eruption paths and correct crossbites before permanent-tooth establishment.
