Our Mission
Our mission is to help you discover the smile that YOU want. Whatever that may be. Maybe you want to straighten your teeth. Or, you might want those pearly whites you see on TV. Your version of ideal might be as simple as chewing without pain or discomfort again.
Whatever your goals are, we’ll create a plan together to get you there in the best and most budget-friendly way possible. We believe dentistry is a team effort, and when you trust us with your dental health, we aim to make your smile a source of confidence.
With six convenient locations in the San Diego area, affordable, family-friendly dental care is right around the corner. We have offices in:
Regular dental exams are one of the pillars of dental health. When you come in for your exam, we’ll take an in-depth look at your mouth and teeth to evaluate issues like tooth decay, cavities, or gum disease. From there, we’ll plan the best course of action to create your ideal smile.
When tooth decay gets out of hand, it can cause an infection in the pulp of your tooth. Also called endodontic treatment, root canals are how we treat these infections. During treatment, we remove the damaged pulp, clean the cavity, and fill the tooth, leaving you with a repaired and fully functioning smile.
A crown is like a suit of armor for your tooth. If one of your teeth is cracked, decayed, or discolored, a crown can protect it from further damage. Crowns can be made of porcelain, metal, or both and can be colored to blend in with your other teeth, maintaining a natural-looking beautiful smile.
Did your kid lose a tooth at soccer practice? Did one of your fillings fall out on Christmas Eve? Whatever your emergency may be, we’re here to provide you with fast, quality treatment to manage your pain, fix the issue, and get you back to smiling as soon as possible.
Dental implants are the most reliable and natural-looking way to restore your smile after losing a tooth. This treatment involves placing a metal post – usually made of titanium – into your gums that acts as a strong base for a crown, bridge, or denture. Dental implants are beneficial for anyone struggling with speaking or chewing issues due to a missing tooth.

At Dental Express, we accept most PPO insurance and Medi-Cal (Denti-Cal). Before and after meeting with your dentist, a treatment planner will review your dental insurance breakdown, making sure you understand your policy, maximize your benefits, and have full transparency. Our team is dedicated to helping you receive the best dental care at the most affordable price.
During your meeting with the dental planner, we encourage you to ask questions and get to know your policy. Once we’ve identified your needs, we’ll talk to your insurance to calculate your coverage and any out-of-pocket expenses. If you don’t have dental insurance, Dental Express accepts many payments, including medical financing. Our team is happy and committed to work with you and help you find an affordable option.
