Our Team

Dr. Charles F. Kattuah first devoted his life to the field of dentistry by spending 10 years working as a full-time automotive technician in the Bay Area to help put himself through college. After years of hard work and dedication, he completed his dental school education at the University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in 1998. He still furthers his knowledge in the advancing field of dentistry with continuing education each year. In 1998 and 1999, he accomplished an advanced continuing education residency in Union City, California. Dr. Kattuah remains an active member of the American Dental Association®, the California Dental Association and the Butte Sierra District Dental Society.

Since 2002, Dr. Kattuah has devoted his time and effort to serving the local community. His greatest goal as a dentist is to provide his patients with the best possible care that helps them achieve a lifetime of optimal oral health. He strives to keep up to date with all the latest changes in technologies and procedures so he can ensure that he continues to provide excellent care to each patient. Outside the office, Dr. Kattuah enjoys motorcycle riding, reading, wakeboarding, snowboarding and swimming. He has been married to his wife, Cathy, for over 20 years. They currently live with their dogs, Buddy and Mitzi, and their cats.

Cathy first joined our office in 2002 as our office manager. In 1994, she graduated from San Jose State with a Bachelor of Science in health science, where she developed her passion for dental care. Her favorite part about being a member of our practice is the opportunity she receives to interact with our patients. She enjoys learning about dental benefits so she can better support our patients and help them receive quality care. Cathy loves to bring her dogs, Buddy and Mitzi, to the office. In her spare time, she likes being outside working in her garden.

Nicole, our Registered Dental Hygienist, has been a cherished member of our practice since June 2009. Her journey in dentistry began in her senior year of high school, paving her path to become the skilled hygienist she is today. Nicole treasures the close-knit, family-like atmosphere of our small office, which allows her to build meaningful relationships with her patients beyond their dental needs. Known for her passion, friendliness, and non-judgmental approach, she believes in being a comforting, familiar face to those she serves. A lifelong local resident, Nicole is married and the proud parent in a blended family with four children. Her love for photography mirrors her commitment to capturing life’s most beautiful moments.

Amber joined the team at Dr. Kattuah’s office in February 2014 as a dental assistant, bringing with her the experience gained since her dental school graduation in 2010. With nearly 14 years of dedication to the dental field, Amber has become an indispensable part of our family. Her enthusiasm for building relationships with patients and contributing to their journey towards a brighter smile highlights the core of her professional passion. Amber’s kind and patient demeanor makes her a favorite among patients and colleagues alike. When she’s not enhancing smiles in the office, Amber enjoys spending quality time with her family, cooking, and embracing her role as a proud mother of three beautiful children.
