About

Dental Group San Diego occupies Suite A at 7187 Navajo Road in San Carlos, where Dr. Mark Christensen has practiced since moving to San Diego in 1984 after earning his Doctorate in Dentistry from Temple University in 1983. More than four decades of continuous practice in the San Carlos and Lake Murray corridor make the office one of the longest-running dental operations in the 92119 ZIP, predating much of the current Navajo Road commercial development. Dr. Christensen holds CEREC certification, operating the Sirona CAD/CAM milling system that designs and places custom porcelain crowns, inlays, and onlays in a single appointment without temporary restorations or return visits, and patients coordinating vision and dental preventive care often schedule alongside Lake Murray Optometric Center on the same boulevard. Family, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry cover the procedural scope, including composite and ceramic restorations, implant-supported final prosthetics, Invisalign clear aligners, porcelain veneers, and periodontal maintenance. The Navajo Road location sits between Lake Murray and Cowles Mountain, serving families from San Carlos, Del Cerro, and the eastern La Mesa border who value same-day crown technology over the multi-visit laboratory workflow. Dr. Christensen's undergraduate background in zoology and marine biology from Brigham Young University preceded his dental training, a science-research foundation that informs his continuing education in biomaterials and minimally invasive preparation techniques. Post-treatment jaw tension and bruxism management often pairs with the soft-tissue therapies available at Navajo Spa in San Carlos. Active membership in the American Dental Association, California Dental Association, and San Diego County Dental Society maintains the practice's credentialing within the organized dentistry network.
