Dental Expressions at 8505 Navajo Road in San Diego's San Carlos neighborhood is the practice of Dr. Richard T. Masek, a USC School of Dentistry graduate who has held Accredited Member status with the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry since 1992 and Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry since 2005. Dr. Masek's specialization in CEREC CAD/CAM technology has earned him more than 15 AACD awards for cosmetic restorations, international recognition as a lecturer and consultant for Sirona and VITA North America, and authorship of the reference text "Highly Esthetic CEREC Solutions." That CEREC expertise places the 92119 office among the most credential-dense single-day restoration practices in San Diego, milling custom porcelain crowns, veneers, inlays, and onlays from chairside digital scans without temporary fittings, and post-restoration conditioning often pairs with strength work at San Carlos Fitness on Lake Murray Boulevard. The mercury-free, metal-free restorative philosophy uses only tooth-colored composite and ceramic materials, with digital X-ray imaging replacing conventional film to reduce radiation exposure and eliminate chemical processing. The Navajo Road location sits near the intersection with Bisby Lake Avenue in San Carlos, drawing patients from the Lake Murray and Cowles Mountain residential areas who seek same-day cosmetic and restorative procedures. Emergency dental care addresses fractures, acute pain, and trauma with minimal wait times. Structural rehabilitation for patients recovering from jaw surgery or TMJ intervention often pairs dental restoration work with the progressive physical conditioning programs at SpineZone Physical Therapy near the Grossmont Center border. Past President and Diplomate of the Academy of CAD/CAM Dentistry, Past President and Fellow of the Academy of Computerized Dentistry, and active practice since 1976 anchor a credential set that places Dr. Masek among the most decorated CEREC practitioners on the West Coast.
