Steps from the surf shops and taco stands that line upper Garnet Avenue, Altrock & Fabb Dental Pacific Beach delivers comprehensive family and cosmetic dentistry at 2187 Garnet Ave, 92109. Dr. Christine Altrock and Dr. Brian Fabb purchased the practice at the end of 2014 and have operated it as a close-knit, two-doctor team ever since. Dr. Fabb graduated from New York University College of Dentistry, where he served as Student Council President, then completed a residency and joined the NYUCD faculty before moving to San Diego in 2010 to treat military families at a Camp Pendleton office. Craft beer fans grabbing a pint at SD TapRoom up the street will find the dental office just a quick stroll away. Dr. Fabb’s professional involvement runs deep: he served as President of the San Diego County Dental Society during the challenging year of 2020 and currently volunteers as a delegate for the California Dental Association. Both doctors are active in the San Diego Dental Political Action Committee, and the practice uses CEREC same-day crown technology, Solea laser sleep treatment for snoring, and a Gemini diode soft-tissue laser during every routine cleaning to reduce harmful bacteria below the gumline. Ceiling-mounted televisions in each operatory let patients watch shows during procedures, while the Solea Sleep snoring treatment—a fifteen-minute, virtually painless laser procedure—sets this office apart from most general practices in the area. Sarah and the rest of the front-desk team earn steady praise for fitting emergency patients in on short notice, and Tricare network provider status makes the office accessible to military families throughout San Diego. Sweet pastries from The French Gourmet make a pleasant post-appointment treat for those whose cleanings leave them craving something indulgent. With a 4.8-star rating across 157 Google reviews, Altrock & Fabb Dental Pacific Beach serves a loyal patient base spanning long-time PB residents, military families, and newcomers alike.
