Directly across the street from the Pacific Beach boardwalk at 4707 Mission Blvd, 92109, Mission Boulevard Dental Group has anchored this block since long before the neighborhood's current wave of development. Dr. Andrew James DeMeyer, a San Diego native who grew up in Point Loma and Ocean Beach, graduated with High Honors from the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry, where he was inducted into Omicron Kappa Upsilon, the national dental honor society. He served four years as a U.S. Navy dentist — completing a General Practice Residency with a surgery emphasis at Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton and later deploying to the Persian Gulf during the first Gulf War as Dental Department Head aboard the USS OGDEN (LPD-5). Beachgoers passing by World Famous on the boardwalk are just steps from the practice's front door. Dr. DeMeyer bought into the group in 1992 after completing his military service and became principal owner in 2002. He currently serves as Associate Professor of Reconstructive Dentistry at the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry in San Francisco. The practice also features Dr. Kyle Gernhofer, who has earned particular praise for his work with pediatric patients and those undergoing chemotherapy-related dental complications. Walk-in visitors exploring Mission Blvd after their cleaning can settle into a booth at Pacific Beach AleHouse just up the street. With 379 patient reviews on its own portal and a perfect 5.0 Google rating across 43 reviews, the office provides general, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry with intraoral camera technology that lets patients view before-and-after images during treatment.
