A 1992 USC School of Dentistry graduate established Pacific Dental Center in Encinitas in 1994, building a general and cosmetic practice on North El Camino Real with board-certified sedation credentials earned in 2005. The practice was among the earliest North County adopters of CEREC CAD/CAM chairside milling —installing its first unit in 1993—and coordinates IV sedation cases with primary-care providers such as Encinitas Family Care for pre-procedure medical clearance. Same-day porcelain crown fabrication, dental implant placement, and Invisalign orthodontics cover the full restorative and cosmetic spectrum from a single Encinitas location. The cosmetic-dentistry program serves the facial-aesthetics continuum alongside practices like CA Dermatology & Clinical Research Institute for patients pursuing comprehensive smile-and-skin care. Annual IV-sedation clinic weekends consolidate multi-procedure treatment plans—including implant placement, crown preparation, and extraction—under continuous deep-sedation monitoring with supplemental oxygen and capnography.
