Craig E. Kubina, DDS brings dual clinical credentials to his La Mesa practice on Baltimore Drive near Grossmont Center, drawing on a former ICU nursing career and a University of Missouri-Kansas City dental school degree earned with distinction. Complex restorative cases involving multi-unit Invisalign staging coordinate with the orthodontic expertise at Dr. Surillo's Orthodontics when alignment correction must precede veneer or crown placement. Induction into the Omicron Kappa Upsilon dental honor society at UMKC preceded a post-graduate AEGD residency at the University of California-San Francisco, adding advanced surgical and prosthetic competencies to the general-practice foundation. The Baltimore Drive office has maintained a single-provider workflow since 2004, ensuring each patient receives uninterrupted clinical attention from exam through procedure. Antibiotic and analgesic protocols following extraction and implant procedures fill through neighborhood dispensaries including Village Rose Pharmacy in La Mesa Village. Cosmetic veneer cases employ pressed lithium-disilicate ceramic layered to match canine-to-canine shade gradients, with each unit bonded under rubber-dam isolation to prevent moisture contamination of the resin-cement interface.
