My passion for helping others achieve lasting self confidence through a healthy smile has led me to become a trusted dentist in Encinitas, Carlsbad, and Del-Mar. Assisting others in obtaining the smile of their dreams gives me immense personal satisfaction. I take pride in being one of the few area dentists who offer a kind and compassionate approach through the application of gentle dentistry. I have an extensive background as an emergency dentist, cosmetic dentist, and family dentist offering comprehensive dental care for my patients of every age. From teeth whitening to dental implants, we have a full service practice here at San Diego Premier Dental Group.I have been practicing dentistry for more than 20 years after graduating in the top 2% of my graduating class as one of the youngest dentists in the history of the USC School of Dentistry! I am committed to exploring new dental techniques and services by taking continuing education credits each year.
Solid team, very thorough. Cleanings feel a bit harsh.

I was a patient of Dr. Dena for almost 10 years and then I moved to Escondido. I tried other dentists in my area but just couldn't find anyone with the same quality and care. Now I drive the extra miles to his practice because he is truly worth it! Won't go anywhere else again.

I have been seeing Dr. Den for several years now and have zero complaints. I've never had him suggest any dental work that wasn't necessary as he truly cares about his patients and quality of work over his pocket book.
