About

Western Dental & Orthodontics operates a multi-specialty dental office in College Area at 5807 University Avenue, Suite 3, San Diego, CA 92115, inside the University Square shopping center near the intersection of University and 58th Street. The national chain's College Area location staffs general dentists, orthodontists, pediatric dentists, oral surgeons, periodontists, prosthodontists, and dental hygienists under one roof, consolidating referral pathways that independent practices split across multiple offices. Services include general cleanings, emergency dental care, cosmetic dentistry, dental implants, traditional braces, ClearArc clear aligners, teeth whitening, and pediatric dentistry for patients from infancy through adolescence. The general-dentistry caseload along University Avenue overlaps geographically with College Grove Dentistry in College Area, and the two practices draw from the same SDSU-adjacent residential population split between insurance-driven and private-pay care models. Spanish-language assistance is available on-site, and the office holds LGBTQ+ and transgender-safespace designations. Sedation dentistry options accommodate patients with dental anxiety across restorative, surgical, and orthodontic procedures. The 92115 ZIP on University Avenue provides Saturday hours and walk-in availability, serving patients who cannot schedule traditional weekday appointments. Patients requiring medical clearance before oral surgery or sedation coordinate through community health providers including S & L Medical Group in College Area for pre-operative evaluation. The office accepts checks, credit cards, debit cards, NFC mobile payments, and payment plans, alongside Denti-Cal (Medi-Cal Dental) and most commercial insurance carriers.
