About

Forrest Packard DDS is a second-generation dentist at Carlsbad's Packard Dental, the multi-generational practice founded in 1963 by three Navy-veteran brothers who built the original office at 725 Grand Avenue in Carlsbad Village. The practice now operates from 1281 Carlsbad Village Drive with a third generation leading clinical care, and the second generation's specialty training expanded the scope to include sleep-disorder dentistry and IV sedation beyond the preventive and restorative foundation, with sleep-apnea polysomnography data coordinated through physicians at Scripps Coastal Medical Center Carlsbad. The 725 Grand Avenue address remains associated with Packard Dental Group Inc. under NPI registry records, reflecting the practice's six-decade continuous presence in the Carlsbad Village 92008 zip code. Current services at the Carlsbad Village Drive location include general and orthodontic dentistry, dental implant placement, same-day CEREC crown fabrication, nitrous oxide, and IV sedation administered by credentialed staff. Post-procedure prescriptions for pain management and antibiotic prophylaxis are filled at independent pharmacies such as Carlsbad Village Pharmacy within the walkable Village district. The in-house CEREC milling unit fabricates monolithic zirconia and lithium-disilicate crowns from Omnicam intraoral scanner data, delivering single-visit posterior restorations with marginal accuracy verified under surgical-telescope magnification.
