About

We believe that dental health is an integral part of your overall general health. We feature dental services like: Invisalign Invisible Braces, Laser Smile Teeth Whitening, and Lumineers Dental Veneers. Make an appointment today and find out why we were voted San Diego's Best Dentist by CBS 8 Mojo Awards. Oral health is dependent on diet, exercise, personal health potential, as well, as the actual care of your mouth and teeth. Many people today are concerned with how their mouth and teeth look, their smile, their breath and the health of the tissues in and around the mouth. We consider all of this when we evaluate new and continuing patients in our practice. We believe that the patient is in ultimate control of his dental health. There must be a partnership between the patient and his/her dentist and dental health care team in order to maintain the highest level of health possible for our patients. To establish a baseline for your dental treatment, we will take new full mouth x-rays in our office, and provide full and comprehensive oral examination and a teeth cleaning for ALL NEW patients who do not have immediate dental issues.

Dr. Chin is great, he explains that he is going through and wants to make sure you understand what is going on. He also focuses a lot of preventative measures to help you out in the future. Would highly recommend!

Dr. Chin is amazing! So nice and knowledgeable, really took the time to explain things to me. I’m so glad I found him! The woman at the front is also very nice. The best part is that the X-ray machine is super cool and not a terrible experience like every other X-ray I’ve ever had. Already booked my next appointment!
