Kevin Herring, DDS

Prunedale’s quiet stretches of farmland and low-slung hills make it easy to forget you’re still in the orbit of the Monterey Bay. Yet along Prunedale North Road, where the pavement hums with the occasional tractor and the scent of artichokes lingers in the air, Kevin Herring, DDS offers routine and restorative care without the urban rush. Dental clinics in rural pockets like this one often become community fixtures, handling everything from preventive cleanings to crowns and bridges. They also tend to keep the same patients for decades, swapping small talk about the local harvest while filling cavities or fitting dentures.

You’ll find the office at 8500 Prunedale North Rd, Prunedale, CA 93907—just past the old packing shed with the peeling green paint. When it’s time to schedule, the number is (831) 663-5667. Directions and hours are posted on the map here, though anyone familiar with the backroads knows the clinic sits where the morning fog burns off last, leaving the fields glistening under the coastal sun.
