A. Gavin McClure, DDS
Fast forward to the present day and I still really enjoy problem-solving and fixing things, both prerequisites for the technical side of dental practice. In 1985 I graduated from UC San Diego with a degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology and then in 1990 matriculated with honors from the UC San Francisco School of Dentistry. For the next four years, I worked in public health at the Sacramento Urban Indian Health Project while maintaining a part-time associate position in a private practice in Davis, California. In 1994, suffering from one too many sweltering Sacramento summers and topographical boredom, I relocated to beautiful Santa Cruz. Married and with a grown son, I count my blessings daily that I am able to work where I live in this beautiful place with clean air, a dynamic downtown, and an interesting, ever-evolving community.
My practice philosophy revolves around attentiveness to the needs of our patients. From this understanding develops the foundation for the trust and confidence necessary to provide service with integrity and satisfaction. I am committed to lifelong professional education and application of sound science to bring the best that modern dentistry has to offer to my daily clinical practice. I am a member of the American Dental Association (ADA), California Dental Association (CDA), Monterey Bay Dental Society (MBDS), and the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD).

I joined Dr. McClure and New Street Dental in October 2013 and feel very fortunate to be a part of such a great dental team. I am married and have a 16-year-old daughter. We share our house with our dog, two cats, two rabbits and lots of fish. In my free time, I enjoy scrapbooking, working in our garden and spending time with friends and family.

I have 2 grown children, a daughter, and a son and when I am not in the office I love spending my time walking along our lovely coast, hiking, fishing, listening to music, and enjoying time with my husband, family, and friends.

I am thrilled to join the wonderful team at New Street Dental. I moved to Santa Cruz in 2015 and love that I can now walk or bike to work. I enjoy getting to know and care for patients in the dental setting and hope to help each patient reach their optimal dental health.
When I’m not at work I like to spend my time outside, gardening, visiting my parents, and working/relaxing on my boyfriend’s family property east of Mount Hamilton.
Kathee

As a hygienist I truly enjoy inspiring patients to achieve and maintain optimal oral health.
I’m thrilled to have been given this recent opportunity to join Dr. McClure and his truly stellar staff, bar none.
Gardening, biking and fishing are some of my most favorite things in life to do… not to mention spending time with my husband, 4 adult children and 5 grand children!
