Founded in 1989 by Dr. Robert Fremont as one of the first dental offices in Pacific Beach, Dovey Dental continues to serve the 92109 community from 4527 Fanuel St. Dr. Nicholas Dovey, who earned his bachelor’s degree at UC Santa Barbara and his doctoral degree at Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona, joined the practice in 2023 to carry forward Dr. Fremont’s legacy. Since taking the reins, Dr. Dovey has invested heavily in modernizing the office with low-radiation digital x-ray sensors, digital intraoral scanners, a 3D printer, and intra-oral cameras in every treatment room. Located between Mission Bay and La Jolla, the Fanuel Street office is a short walk from the oceanfront dining at JRDN Restaurant inside Tower23 Hotel. The practice is entirely amalgam-free, relying on the latest composite technology to preserve natural tooth structure, and patients enjoy Netflix on overhead screens or noise-cancelling headphones during their appointments. Nitrous oxide and oral sedation are available for anyone with dental anxiety. Staff members Ena, Kari, and Kelsey receive frequent shoutouts in reviews for their warm welcomes and gentle hygiene work. The office was voted best dental practice in Pacific Beach for 2023 and employs roughly twenty staff members. Services span cosmetic dentistry, Invisalign, dental implants, sedation dentistry, pediatric care, and laser-assisted frenectomy procedures. The team also participates in community outreach through free screening events and oral health education programs at local schools. An evening stroll after a Friday morning appointment often leads patients south on Fanuel toward Enoteca Adriano for Italian small plates and local wine. With a 4.9-star Google rating across 313 reviews, Dovey Dental stands as one of the highest-rated and longest-operating dental practices in Pacific Beach.
