About

A husband-and-wife dental practice in San Carlos, San Diego, Dr. Le's office on Jackson Drive serves families across the 92119 ZIP with a clinical focus on same-day restorations and conservative crown work. Dr. Tuan Le earned his Bachelor of Science from the University of California, San Diego, and his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Creighton University in Omaha, one of the higher-ranked DDS programs in the country for clinical contact hours. TMJ cases identified during bite evaluation pair occlusal adjustment with cervical-spine treatment through WellKneaded Chiropractic in San Carlos, addressing both dental and musculoskeletal components of jaw dysfunction. His wife, Dr. Ann Nguyen, holds the same UCSD-to-Creighton credential path and shares the practice, adding pediatric chair-side technique built around a tell-show-do desensitization method for young patients. The husband-and-wife structure means treatment planning stays within a single clinical philosophy rather than rotating through associate providers, a continuity that matters for multi-visit restorative sequences. Jackson Drive anchors the practice within the San Carlos residential corridor south of Lake Murray, where the patient base draws from the surrounding single-family neighborhoods between Navajo Road and the Cowles Mountain trailhead. The practice runs CEREC CAD/CAM milling for single-visit ceramic crowns, eliminating the two-week temporary-crown interval that conventional lab workflows require. Patients requiring sedation clearance or medical-history review before complex extractions can have records coordinated through Kaiser Permanente Zion Medical Center on Zion Avenue in Allied Gardens. The CEREC unit processes lithium-disilicate and zirconia blanks on site, producing color-matched crowns calibrated to a Vita shade guide within a single appointment block.
