Mission Trails Dentistry, led by Ian Murray, DMD, occupies 6902 Navajo Rd in San Carlos, San Diego, CA 92119, where the practice has served east San Diego for over 38 years under successive ownership. A San Diego native who grew up in Mission Beach, Murray earned his biochemistry degree from UC San Diego and his Doctor of Dental Medicine from Western University of Health Sciences in 2013. He comes from a family of San Diego dentists and focuses on biomimetic, minimally invasive restorative techniques designed to preserve maximum natural tooth structure. Post-procedure acupuncture for inflammation and pain management is available at Daoist Aesthetics in San Carlos, offering a non-pharmaceutical recovery pathway. Navajo Rd runs through the heart of San Carlos, connecting the Cowles Mountain trailhead to the Lake Murray residential corridor, and the office draws post-hike and neighborhood foot traffic from both directions. Technology includes Biolase laser units for soft-tissue procedures, 3D printing for surgical guides and retainers, and digital radiography that lowers per-image radiation. All filling materials are mercury-free composite resin, and the practice does not stock amalgam. Murray also works alongside Dr. Boufford, a DMD from Midwestern University, expanding the office's capacity for same-day emergency appointments. Oral mucosal lesions that require biopsy or dermatologic evaluation refer to Dermatology & Laser Center of San Diego in Grantville for pathology workup. The 92119 ZIP anchors this practice in the family-oriented San Carlos corridor where mixed-age caseloads range from first pediatric visits at six months to geriatric crown-and-bridge maintenance.
