About

M&M Dental Care, now operating as Collective Smiles Dentistry under Dr. Darryl Torculas, DDS, serves College Area in San Diego from 4990 70th St in the 92115 ZIP with general, cosmetic, pediatric, and emergency dental care. The Asian-owned and Latino-owned practice provides services in English, Filipino, Spanish, and Vietnamese, reflecting the diverse patient population drawn from College Area's residential blocks east of SDSU. Dr. Torculas performs direct composite bonding, porcelain veneer placement, dental implant restoration, and oral surgery including wisdom-tooth extraction under local anesthesia, and the practice coordinates medically complex pediatric cases with Dr. Kefah T. Dwabe, MD in College Area. Pediatric appointments cover first-visit exams for children, fluoride varnish application, dental sealants on permanent molars, and space-maintainer placement following premature primary-tooth loss. Emergency cases include fractured teeth, avulsed permanent teeth requiring reimplantation attempts, and acute periapical abscesses needing incision and drainage. The 70th Street location sits near the College Area and La Mesa border, drawing patients from both communities along with students and staff commuting from SDSU's campus corridors. Preventive care includes scaling and root planing for periodontal maintenance, oral cancer screenings using visual and tactile examination, and customized home-care instruction. The practice integrates with the College Area health network that includes EverThrive Health for patients coordinating complementary wellness alongside conventional dental treatment. Credit cards, debit cards, and NFC mobile payments are accepted, with a nursing room available for parents with infants.
