Dentist in Murrieta, CA

Welcome to our Murrieta, California dental office where we can keep everyone in the family’s mouths healthy, clean and beautiful.

Preventive and General Dentistry

At West Coast Dental, we provide patient-centered, detail-oriented dental services, focusing on your comfort and needs. We are committed to giving our patients high-quality care in a warm and welcoming environment with a foundation of preventive care.

Preventive Care

The foundation of good oral health starts with good preventive care. This includes diligent brushing and flossing at home as well as routine visits to the dentist. Regular check-ups give our dentists a chance to assess the current status of your oral health and to identify—and fix—small problems before they become big ones.

In addition to routine examinations, professional dental cleanings are essential, even if you practice good oral care at home. Plaque build-up happens to the best of us, and when it is not removed, it hardens into calculus (tartar), which can only be removed with special dental tools.

If you have young children who are cavity-prone, we can also talk to you about fluoride treatments and dental sealants to help keep cavities at bay.

General Dentistry

Sometimes dental issues come up — even with good preventive care. You can count on our Murrieta dentist to provide the treatments you need, including:

  • Tooth-colored fillings
  • Dentures and partials
  • Periodontal disease treatment
  • Root canal therapy

You can also count on us to be available if you have a dental emergency.

We are committed to making dental and orthodontic care affordable. Exams and x-rays are free to new patients (with a $59
annual membership to Dental Alliance), and we offer competitive prices on all our dental and orthodontic services.

General Dentist

I am a General Dentist who grew up in Southern California and earned my dental degree from the Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine in Cleveland, Ohio. At the start of my career, I proudly served as an active-duty military dentist in the United States Army, where I gained extensive experience in root canal therapy and emergency dentistry. That experience strengthened my ability to remain calm under pressure and provide efficient, high-quality care in urgent situations. Since returning to Southern California in 2009, I have been honored to serve the dental needs of the communities I call home. I am committed to delivering thorough, compassionate care and building long-term relationships with my patients based on trust and clear communication. Outside of dentistry, I enjoy fly fishing, fly tying, camping, and spending time with family and friends at backyard BBQs. I look forward to helping you maintain a healthy, confident smile.
