Serving Mission Valley, San Diego
Twelve minutes east from Mission Valley — full-service family dentistry without the mall clinic wait.
Mission Valley is one of the most traffic-dense commercial corridors in San Diego, with thousands of office workers, retail employees, and residents living in the high-density apartment complexes lining Mission Center Road and Friars Road. Getting a dental appointment around a lunch hour or between work blocks is a real constraint for Mission Valley patients, and it is one we can accommodate — our office on University Ave is about a 12-minute drive east through City Heights, and we hold morning and Saturday slots that work for a half-day away from the office. Most Mission Valley patients carry PPO plans through their employers (Cigna, Aetna, MetLife, Delta Dental) and we are in-network or can submit out-of-network claims with upfront cost estimates. There is no valet pricing here — you know what the co-pay looks like before we start.
