About

Polan Family Dental occupies a suite at 1207 Carlsbad Village Drive, placing the general dentistry practice on the identity corridor of Carlsbad Village near Harbor Fish Cafe and Blue Ocean Sushi. Dr. Masha Polan earned her Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in 2013, building a clinical scope that includes implant restorations, Invisalign clear-aligner therapy, and full-arch rehabilitation, with complex alignment cases referred to orthodontic specialists such as Hulse Orthodontics. Her Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences from the University of the Pacific preceded a Division I volleyball career that earned a 2019 induction into the Livermore Sports Hall of Fame. The practice's conservative treatment philosophy prioritizes natural-tooth preservation, and patients presenting with systemic contributors to periodontal disease may be co-managed with functional-medicine providers including Quantum Functional Medicine. Invisalign treatment plans use iTero 3D intraoral scanning to map tooth movement in half-millimeter increments across sequential aligner stages, replacing traditional polyvinyl siloxane impressions.
