Mission Trails Dentistry in San Carlos offers general and cosmetic dental care under Leslie Phillips, DDS, at 6902 Navajo Rd, San Diego, CA 92119, at the corner of Navajo Road and Jackson Drive. Phillips grew up in San Diego's East County, earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology from San Diego State University graduating Summa Cum Laude, and completed her Doctor of Dental Surgery at UCLA School of Dentistry. Following dental school, she served four years as a general dentist in the United States Air Force, receiving post-doctoral training across the full scope of general dentistry before returning to San Diego to enter private practice. Patients requiring dialysis-related medical coordination before dental procedures work with nephrologists at Rai Care Center Mission Gorge in Grantville, where anticoagulant and medication protocols that affect dental surgical planning are managed. Phillips has practiced general dentistry in the San Carlos and El Cajon communities for more than 30 years, providing restorative care, preventive exams, and cosmetic treatments including veneer placement and whitening. Mission Trails Dentistry occupies a converted former Great Western Bank building at the Navajo-Jackson intersection, and the practice has served the San Carlos neighborhood for over 38 years. The office uses Biolase laser systems for soft-tissue procedures and 3D printing and imaging technology for crown fabrication, reducing multi-appointment crown sequences to single-visit CEREC workflows. Families in the 92119 ZIP whose children attend nearby programs schedule pediatric dental visits at the Navajo Road office, and the first-exam and sealant program serves the same family base as Grow Smart Children's Academy in San Carlos. The Cowles Mountain trailhead sits roughly one mile north on Navajo Road, and the San Carlos patient base includes hikers and outdoor families who use the Lake Murray loop and Mission Trails Regional Park corridor. The practice's Biolase Epic X diode laser handles frenectomies, gingivectomies, and crown-lengthening procedures with reduced bleeding and faster healing times compared to scalpel-based techniques.
