Trained in biomimetic dentistry at the University of Southern California, Dr. Paul Fjeldsted leads La Mesa Hills Dentistry at 8375 University Avenue with a conservative-treatment philosophy that prioritizes maximum natural-tooth preservation. The practice's implant and oral-surgery cases that require general anesthesia are coordinated through ambulatory surgical facilities like Grossmont Surgery Center, which provides operating-room access for complex extractions and bone-augmentation procedures. Fjeldsted completed undergraduate studies at Brigham Young University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology before his USC dental training, and the practice also includes Dr. Thomas Olinger — an Ohio State College of Dentistry DDS graduate who serves as a Captain in the United States Navy Reserve. Sedation options span nitrous oxide and oral conscious protocols for patients with dental anxiety, with complementary pain-management approaches available through providers like Full Circle Acupuncture & Wellness. Laser-assisted periodontal therapy and the practice's biomimetic composite-layering technique represent the core of a minimally invasive approach that avoids full-coverage crowns wherever partial-coverage ceramic onlays can restore occlusal function.
