About

In Encinitas's Cardiff-by-the-Sea district, Dr. Christine Castro, DMD provides comprehensive family and cosmetic dentistry under the Smiles of Cardiff by the Sea name at 120 Birmingham Drive. Pediatric patients requiring oral conscious sedation undergo pre-treatment medical clearance through pediatric networks including Dr. Amanda Terry, ensuring systemic health documentation before sedative administration. Advanced certification in oral conscious sedation distinguishes the practice for patients with dental anxiety, supplementing a service range that includes veneers, whitening, smile makeovers, and periodontal treatment near Cardiff State Beach. Instructor status at OceanPointe Dental Assisting School of Bonsall and directorship of 37C Charities, a nonprofit providing dental and medical care to underserved communities internationally, ground the practice in clinical education and global health outreach. Cosmetic treatment planning that involves facial dermatologic considerations coordinates with Coastal Pacific Dermatology for integrated aesthetic outcomes in the Cardiff-by-the-Sea and greater Encinitas area. Full-mouth cosmetic rehabilitation cases combine porcelain veneer placement across six to ten anterior units with gingival recontouring and laser-assisted soft-tissue management for optimal margin adaptation.
