Combining a DDS degree with doctoral-level research training, Dr. Carl H. Jepsen practices general dentistry at 4632 Van Dyke Avenue in Kensington, San Diego, bringing evidence-based methodology to clinical care in the 92116 neighborhood. The Van Dyke Avenue office sits in the residential blocks east of the Kensington commercial village, south of Adams Avenue and within the walkable grid that connects to the Kensington sign and the Adams Avenue retail strip. Patients with complex medical histories managed by internal medicine teams at PROSPERA Internal Medicine & Aesthetics Medical Center receive treatment modifications that account for anticoagulant use, immunosuppression, and medication-related dry mouth before any surgical or restorative intervention. General-practice services cover the diagnostic and restorative spectrum from periodic examinations and prophylactic cleanings through amalgam and composite restorations, crown preparation, and fixed prosthodontic treatment planning for patients in Normal Heights, Kensington, and the surrounding neighborhoods. Periodontal assessment at each recall appointment includes full-mouth probing, bleeding-on-probing indices, and radiographic bone-level evaluation to track attachment stability and guide scaling-and-root-planing decisions for patients with moderate to advanced periodontal involvement. Diagnostic imaging includes periapical and bitewing series for caries detection alongside panoramic radiography for impaction assessment and temporomandibular joint visualization. Post-procedural prescriptions coordinate through neighborhood pharmacies including CVS Pharmacy on University Avenue in adjacent North Park for antibiotic and analgesic fills following extraction or endodontic procedures. Dr. Jepsen's dual DDS-PhD credential reflects a research-informed approach to evidence-based treatment selection, applying clinical-trial data to material choices and technique protocols across restorative and preventive procedures.
