About

Veteran-owned since 1988, Robert Gandola, DDS, operates a general and cosmetic dentistry practice at 7125 El Cajon Boulevard, Suite 2, in College Area, San Diego, within the 92115 ZIP. Dr. Gandola established the practice after completing three years of active-duty service in the United States Navy, bringing military dental training into a civilian general practice on El Cajon Blvd's eastern commercial corridor near SDSU. The office provides care in English, Russian, and Spanish and identifies as LGBTQ+-affirming, with an explicit transgender-safespace designation on the practice profile. Patients managing medication-related dental complications or procedural anxiety can coordinate care with behavioral health support at Resilience Integrative Wellness in Grantville for integrated treatment planning. Clinical scope covers general and family dentistry, cosmetic procedures including whitening and veneer placement, pediatric care, oral surgery, orthodontic assessment, and dental implant evaluation. The El Cajon Blvd address places the office in the easternmost section of the College Area commercial corridor, where the boulevard transitions toward the La Mesa border, and on-site parking keeps the practice accessible despite the corridor's traffic density. The 1988 founding date gives the practice over 36 years of continuous operation at the same boulevard address, predating most of the current dental offices on this stretch of El Cajon Blvd. Students from SDSU who need a general dentist near campus with broader scope than the university health center can access the same El Cajon Blvd corridor through Campus Dentistry, which sits closer to the university's Montezuma Road entrance. The practice accepts credit cards, debit cards, NFC mobile payments, and insurance plans, with wheelchair accessibility throughout the facility.
