About

Biomimetic dentistry training from the USC School of Dentistry defines the conservation-first restorative philosophy at Paul Fjeldsted's La Mesa Hills Dentistry practice on University Avenue. The technique prioritizes adhesive-bonded restorations that preserve healthy tooth structure over traditional full-coverage preparations, an evidence-based methodology that pairs naturally with the early-intervention orthodontic corrections at Dr. Surillo's Orthodontics elsewhere in La Mesa. Fjeldsted holds a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Brigham Young University and maintains active memberships in the American Dental Association, California Dental Association, and San Diego Dental Society. The University Avenue office delivers porcelain veneers, implant placement, and sedation options alongside preventive care, with diabetic patients receiving enhanced periodontal monitoring that coordinates with the retinal-screening protocols at Giles Optometry for shared metabolic-risk management. Complex restorative cases involve multi-unit biomimetic bridge fabrication using stress-reduced direct composite and ceramic overlay systems designed to distribute occlusal load without sacrificing adjacent healthy enamel.
