University of the Pacific School of Dentistry graduate who completed the Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency at UOP and returned to native San Diego to begin private practice in 2003, Hillcrest Dental Arts is housed in Suite 23 of the Walnut Avenue dental building. Endodontic retreatment cases involving prior root canal failure are referred to Cameron M Stout DDS MS - Mission Hills Endodontics within the same Hillcrest specialty cluster for surgical microscope evaluation. A conservative restorative philosophy guides treatment planning, with the office favoring tooth-colored bonded composites over crowns whenever the remaining tooth structure permits. Pre-implant and TMJ cases requiring three-dimensional imaging beyond chairside capacity are coordinated through Imaging Healthcare Specialists - Hillcrest for cone-beam CT acquisition before treatment planning. Membership in the Spear Dental Club and local study groups feeds the continuing-education base for complex aesthetic dentistry. The most involved cases handled in-house are full-mouth conservative rehabilitations combining bonded composites and onlays in lieu of more aggressive full-coverage crowns.
