Jerome Ragadio, DDS brings twenty-one years of Navy dental experience to Encinitas through the Espire Dental practice on North El Camino Real, where military-grade clinical training informs both routine and surgical procedures. Pediatric patients seen at this multi-provider practice coordinate developmental dental monitoring with their medical providers, including community pediatricians such as Sonja Brion, MD for growth-stage assessments. The practice operates under the Espire Dental network at a location that has served the North County dental community continuously since 1975, when it first opened as La Costa Dental Group. A twenty-one-year Navy career encompassed field operative dentistry, triage-based treatment planning, and oral surgery in austere settings — including dental humanitarian missions in Vietnam, Fiji, Malaysia, and Tonga. Post-operative antibiotic and analgesic prescriptions following extraction and implant procedures route through community pharmacies including North Coast Medical Pharmacy for same-day dispensing. IV-sedation-assisted full-arch implant placement represents the most advanced service tier, coordinated between restorative and surgical providers using guided osteotomy protocols for immediate provisional loading.
