About Dentistry for San Diego
Dentistry for San Diego is a holistic and biological dental practice at 1293 Carlsbad Village Drive in Carlsbad, California, working from the position that the mouth and the body act on one another — that infection and material toxicity in the oral cavity are oral-systemic concerns rather than local ones. Mercury amalgam fillings are removed under complete rubber dam and microseal isolation, a protocol the practice describes as significantly reducing and often eliminating mercury exposure during removal, and restorative care is planned around biocompatibility: Biocomp testing is performed to identify which materials suit an individual patient, and porcelain crowns and bridges and zirconia implants are used in place of metal.
Diagnosis and treatment draw on low-dose cone beam CT for hidden infection, T-Scan computerized analysis of bite force and timing, Waterlase laser dentistry, ozone applied as a gas or a liquid, and platelet-rich fibrin prepared from the patient's own blood. Biological oral surgery follows protocols from the Huggins philosophy of dentistry. Recorded procedures include zirconia dental implants, metal-free dentistry, ceramic crowns, veneers and TMJ/TMD therapy.

Common Questions
How are mercury amalgam fillings removed at this practice?
Silver mercury fillings and decay are removed under a complete rubber dam with microseal isolation, a detailed protocol the practice describes as significantly reducing and often entirely eliminating mercury exposure to the patient during removal. Infections are treated as part of the same sequence, and the practice draws on the Huggins protocol for the removal of diseased teeth and the safe restoration of teeth afterward.
What does a biological approach to dentistry mean here?
The practice describes biological dentistry as recognising that the body affects the mouth and the mouth affects the body. Infections can travel from the mouth to other parts of the body and affect the immune system, and toxicity from materials in the mouth can leach into it. The stated goal is addressing that infection and toxicity rather than treating a tooth in isolation.
Where does ozone therapy fit into treatment?
Ozone, characterised as an energized form of oxygen acting as an antimicrobial agent, is applied as either a gas or a liquid. The practice incorporates it into biological oral surgery, cavity repair, preparation for restorations, treatment of inflamed or infected gums, zirconia implant placement, regeneration of soft and hard tissue, and routine hygiene appointments. It is also used for cold and canker sores, tooth sensitivity, temporomandibular joint disorders, and odontogenic sinus infections.
What is platelet-rich fibrin and when is it used?
PRF is created from the patient's own blood and contains concentrated platelets and growth factors involved in healing and tissue regeneration. It is prepared and applied to the treatment site to support the body's own healing response, and the practice states it also assists healing after treatment. PRF is listed among the technologies the office keeps in-house.
How is the bite assessed before restorative or appliance work?
The practice uses T-Scan, a handheld device placed in the mouth to scan the teeth and produce a digital map of the relationship between them, measuring the timing and amount of bite force that articulating strips cannot. Tekscan reports that 94 percent of dentists struggle to pinpoint how opposing teeth meet using conventional methods. T-Scan is applied to restorations, tooth replacement, appliance fabrication, orthodontic adjustment, and documenting bite changes over time.
How does the practice decide which restorative materials to use?
Because dental materials may affect one person differently from another, the practice performs Biocomp testing, each test designed to identify the most suitable materials for that individual patient. Low-dose cone beam CT is used to assist in diagnosing hidden infections that can adversely affect health, and the stated approach is non-toxic, biocompatible solutions tailored to individual needs.
