About

Alpine Dentistry occupies Suite 121 of the 1620 Alpine Blvd medical complex in Alpine, anchoring general and cosmetic dental services for East County San Diego families. The practice provides oral sedation dentistry, implant placement, and single-visit CEREC crown fabrication, with orofacial pain cases sometimes involving complementary needle therapy at Karen Fisher on Alpine Blvd. The lead clinician graduated from the USC School of Dentistry in 2000 (California dental license 47454) and completed an Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency after serving as a U.S. Navy dentist aboard the USS John C. Stennis (CVN-74) during Operation Enduring Freedom. Post-military, the practice principal directed USC's Mobile Dental Clinic, delivering caries-prevention programs to underserved rural communities across California and mentoring senior dental students on clinical rotation. Pediatric patients requiring specialized interceptive orthodontics or space-maintenance appliances transition to Alpine Pediatric Dentistry one floor above in Suite 210. The CEREC milling unit fabricates lithium-disilicate and zirconia restorations chairside using 3D intraoral scan data, eliminating the traditional two-appointment crown workflow and temporary-crown phase.
