About

Brighton Dental in Grantville is a women-owned holistic dental practice at 10450 Friars Rd, Suite G, San Diego, CA 92120, led by Dr. Paige Woods, DDS. Dr. Woods earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery from Loma Linda University School of Dentistry, where she qualified for the Dean's Circle, and holds an American Chemical Society certification from Richard Stockton College. She completed post-doctoral training at the California Implant Institute and the Hybridge Institute, and has published peer-reviewed research on dental bonding strength and micro-abrasion techniques. Emergency cases requiring hospital-level imaging or IV sedation route to Kaiser Permanente Zion Medical Center in Allied Gardens, five minutes east on the 8 freeway. The practice operates as a mercury-free, biocompatible office: all composite fillings use non-metal resin, amalgam removal follows SMART-protocol safety standards with rubber dam isolation and high-volume evacuation, and ozone therapy replaces conventional antimicrobial rinses for cavity preparation. Friars Road runs east from Mission Valley into Grantville, and this office anchors the medical cluster near the Alvarado Hospital campus in the 92120 ZIP. Brighton's operatories feature floor-to-ceiling glass enclosures, diagnostic laser units, and 3D intraoral scanners. The cosmetic menu covers Invisalign, porcelain veneers, Lumineers, and full-mouth reconstruction including All-on-4 implant-supported dentures, while holistic services extend to in-office acupuncture and aromatherapy for patients managing dental anxiety. Dr. Woods is an active member of the American Dental Association and the California Dental Association and provides pro-bono restorative dentistry through programs including Compassion Clinic and international mission trips. Patients navigating the emotional dimensions of complex dental rehabilitation can coordinate support with LifeStance Therapists & Psychiatrists San Diego in Grantville. The no-shot filling protocol uses air abrasion and laser preparation to remove decay without traditional anesthetic injection on qualifying Class I and II cavities.
