Dr. Jim S. Rhee, DDS in Encinitas brings a Columbia University dental surgery degree to a general and cosmetic practice established on North El Camino Real in 2002. The office's family-dentistry model serves patients from pediatric through geriatric age ranges, coordinating children's developmental dental assessments with pediatric providers including Dr. Amanda Terry for growth-stage health evaluations. Following undergraduate studies at the University of Southern California, the Columbia-trained practitioner returned to Southern California to build a practice emphasizing implant, cosmetic, and preventive care. Membership in the American Dental Association, California Dental Association, and the San Diego County Dental Society supports ongoing continuing-education participation across restorative and prosthetic disciplines. Emergency after-hours phone consultations extend the practice's acute-care availability, addressing post-procedural complications and trauma triage alongside chronic orofacial pain referrals to Encinitas Acupuncture and Massage for adjunctive pain management. Implant-supported prosthetic cases utilize titanium-alloy endosseous fixtures with custom-milled abutments and layered ceramic crown fabrication to replicate natural tooth translucency and occlusal anatomy.
