Services
Invisalign
As a Platinum Plus Invisalign Provider, we create customized clear aligner treatment plans for adults and teens. Using 3D imaging technology, we address complex orthodontic issues like misalignment, bite correction, and jaw positioning. Our board-certified orthodontist ensures optimal results through periodic adjustments and digital monitoring.
Braces
We offer advanced metal and clear braces options, including the Damon Ultima System. Our treatments correct severe misalignment, overcrowding, and bite issues using self-ligating technology that reduces treatment time. Regular adjustments and digital X-rays ensure precise tooth movement and optimal oral health outcomes.
Pediatric Dentistry
Our board-certified pediatric dentist provides comprehensive care for infants through teens, including preventive cleanings, cavity treatment, and behavior management. We use child-friendly techniques, sedation options, and educational tools to create positive dental experiences and establish lifelong oral health habits.
Dental Cleanings
We offer gentle, thorough cleanings for children using age-appropriate tools and positive reinforcement. Our preventive care includes plaque removal, fluoride treatments, and sealants to protect against decay. The process incorporates interactive elements like songs to make dental visits enjoyable for young patients.
Sedation Dentistry
For anxious patients or complex procedures, we provide safe sedation options including nitrous oxide, minimal sedation, and general anesthesia. Our specialists are licensed to administer these techniques, ensuring comfortable experiences while maintaining strict safety protocols for pediatric and special needs patients.

San Diego Smile Pros has been taking care of all my kid's teeth since they were very young. They've always been so kind and professional. They treat us like family. As long as we're in San Diego, we'll always come back here!

With kids with special needs and one afraid of the dentist they have been absolutely amazing. So friendly and inviting. Makes my kids so comfortable just being here. They also have an Orthodontist so it's literally one stop for all of their car

Overall great service from the care of the dental hygienist to the dentist himself. I especially appreciate the warm smiles I'm always greeted with by the gals at the front desk! I have recommended San Diego Smile Pro's to family and friends for years and will continue to do so!

Our 3-year-old twins are patients here, and they love coming to get their teeth cleaned! Our daughter happily heads to the chair and feels at ease because each step of the cleaning process is explained to her, and she gets to see all of the tools the hygienist is using before they go into her mouth. Our son is a little more hesitant about having his teeth cleaned so he gets a private room, and is made as comfortable as possible during his cleaning.
We as parents feel welcomed as soon as the front desk staff sees us and well informed about the health of our children's teeth and future care. The ocean theme is an added bonus that's a major hit with our kiddos!

My kids have been with them for 17 years. We have had exceptional, caring and compassionate service. They are more than just dental professionals. They are considered friends, especially after seeing my kids grow up. We have tried to transition to another place for cleanings to test the waters of an adult dentist's office for my almost 18 year old and received subpar service. We are back for as long as they will continue seeing us.
