Founded in 1989 by Dr. Robert Fremont as one of Pacific Beach's earliest dental practices, Dovey Dental at 4527 Fanuel St, San Diego, CA 92109 continues that legacy under Dr. Nicholas Dovey, who joined the office in 2023. Dr. Dovey earned his bachelor's degree at UC Santa Barbara and his doctorate at Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona, where he graduated near the top of his class and was inducted into Omicron Kappa Upsilon, dentistry's national honor society. He is a member of the Academy of General Dentistry, the San Diego Dental Association, the California Dental Association, and the American Dental Association. The office specializes in cosmetic dentistry using porcelain restorations, composite bonding, and Invisalign, and operates as a mercury-free practice using only composite fillings. Neighboring dental practices along the coast include All Coast Dental, offering additional options for families in the 92109 ZIP code. Since taking over, Dr. Dovey has invested in low-radiation digital X-ray sensors, intraoral cameras, digital scanners, and a 3D printer to modernize the practice. Patients who prefer a more comfortable experience can request nitrous oxide or oral sedation, and every treatment room is equipped with Netflix streaming and noise-cancelling headphones. The practice was voted best dental office in Pacific Beach for 2023, and Dr. Fremont has appeared on San Diego Magazine's Top Dentist list for eleven consecutive years as selected by his peers. Dovey Dental accepts most dental insurance plans and offers wheelchair-accessible parking, entrance, and restroom facilities. Residents heading to a checkup along Fanuel Street can plan a post-appointment lunch at The Fishery, located just a short drive south on Mission Bay. Hours run Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Friday from 8 a.m. to noon.
