About

General and laser dentistry under Dr. Ronald T. McCleave, DDS, anchors the clinical work at Center Point Dental Group, 6544 El Cajon Blvd, San Diego, CA 92115, in the College Area corridor near SDSU. Dr. McCleave's clinical focus pairs WaterLase laser cavity preparation with same-day CAD/CAM crown delivery, a workflow that consolidates what traditionally requires two visits and a temporary restoration into a single appointment block. The laser system handles hard-tissue cutting for Class I through V cavity preparations, soft-tissue procedures including gingivectomy and frenectomy, and bone recontouring for crown-lengthening cases. Emergency dental triage for after-hours trauma and acute infection routes through Perlman Clinic Mission Gorge in Grantville, which provides walk-in medical stabilization before scheduled dental follow-up. El Cajon Blvd carries heavy commercial and transit traffic between SDSU and the City Heights boundary, and Center Point sits in the 92115 dental cluster that serves both the campus population and the residential neighborhoods of College Area and Rolando. Dr. McCleave works within a multi-specialist group that includes periodontists, endodontists, an orthodontist, and an oral surgeon, keeping referral loops internal rather than sending patients to outside offices for procedures like implant placement or impacted third-molar extraction. All fillings are placed with mercury-free, tooth-colored composite resin under rubber dam isolation. The practice uses digital radiography exclusively, and the low-dose imaging protocol applies to pediatric patients in the surrounding 92115 neighborhoods where family density supports a mixed-age caseload. Jaw and cervical-spine rehabilitation for patients presenting with TMJ symptoms alongside dental pathology coordinates with Spine & Sport Physical Therapy in College Area. The operatory suite runs four chairs with independent nitrous oxide delivery lines and a dedicated laser-procedure room shielded for Er,Cr:YSGG wavelength containment.
