About

Santee Dentistry and Implants on Santee's Cuyamaca Street corridor combines general, cosmetic, and surgical implant dentistry under two clinicians at 8790 Cuyamaca St Ste E. Lead clinician Dr. Haider Faris trained at Loma Linda University School of Dentistry and completed the American Academy of Implant Dentistry's 10-month Advanced Surgery and Implantology program covering bone grafting, sinus lifts, and guided implant placement — a surgical credential that complements the spinal-alignment diagnostics available at Whalen Chiropractic on the same Cuyamaca corridor for patients with temporomandibular dysfunction. A General Practice Residency certificate and Periodontics Externship from Loma Linda add soft-tissue management to the implant workflow, and Loma Linda's Clinic Award and Reach Scholarship recognized his clinical contributions during training. Associate clinician Dr. Sinan Alhamdi holds a Boston University School of Dental Medicine degree and focuses on cosmetic makeovers, crown-and-bridge restorations, and comprehensive pediatric and adult care. Sedation dentistry and emergency same-day appointments serve patients requiring urgent extraction or pain management, with pre-operative medical clearances coordinated through Sharp Rees-Stealy Santee on Cuyamaca Street. Full-mouth implant rehabilitation cases use CBCT-guided surgical templates to place four to six fixtures per arch at angles optimized for maximum cortical-bone engagement in resorbed ridges.
