Fourth-generation family dentistry roots run through Stephens Dental, where Dr Sean Stephens practices from 3588 Fourth Avenue Suite 300 in Hillcrest's 92103 after earning his DDS from the USC School of Dentistry in 1998. Post-doctoral residency and certificate work covers implant dentistry, TMJ therapy, laser dentistry and head-and-neck pain management, with surgical implant placement coordinated through McGann Oral Surgery when grafting volumes require a dedicated maxillofacial setting. Sean Stephens is a certified Invisalign provider and an active member of the San Diego Advanced Dental Study Club, the Southern California Orthodontic Study Club and the International Association of Orthodontics. Mild-to-moderate alignment cases get treated in-house with clear aligners, while skeletal Class II and Class III bites needing fixed brackets coordinate with Milberg Orthodontics for full-arch banding and finishing. Cosmetic, prosthodontic, periodontal and endodontic services all sit under one roof at the Fourth Avenue suite, supported by digital scanning and laser soft-tissue protocols. Full-mouth rehabilitation combining TMJ stabilization, occlusal equilibration and segmented esthetic crown delivery is the most complex workflow the practice manages from its Hillcrest medical-corridor office.
