About

As a third-generation Carlsbad Village dental practice, Packard Dental occupies 1281 Carlsbad Village Drive and offers general, orthodontic, and implant dentistry. Dr. Packard earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry and completed advanced implant training through the Engel Institute of Implantology, a surgical background that coordinates with sleep-apnea airway evaluations at San Diego Ear, Nose & Throat Specialists. Same-day CEREC crown milling, IV sedation, and nitrous oxide support single-visit restorations and complex full-mouth rehabilitation without multiple temporaries. The practice's orthodontic division fits Invisalign clear aligners and traditional brackets, integrating bite correction into broader oral-health treatment plans coordinated with Scripps Coastal Medical Center Carlsbad for patients managing systemic conditions. Custom-milled zirconia implant crowns are seated using digital impression scans and CAD/CAM design software to match shade, contour, and occlusal contact points against the opposing arch.
