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.
For over years, our Encinitas family dentistry has offered quality services for patients of all ages. Our dental office is designed for your peace of mind and total relaxation. From the moment of your arrival, our staff helps to ensure your visit is a pleasant one with a comfortable reception area and the highest level of consideration and attention.
I have been coming to Dr. Dena my whole life he's a very kind and gentle dentist. From the clouds on his ceiling to the tranquil little water fountains in the lobby, the vibe in his facility is very calming and relaxing. Also extremely clean. I highly recommend him to anyone! He will definitely leave you with a beautiful smile.
A filling is a way to restore a tooth damaged by decay back to its normal function and shape. Decayed teeth are usually treated by removing the decayed portion and then "fill" the area on the tooth where the decayed material was removed with filling material. By closing off spaces where bacteria can enter, a filling also helps prevent further decay.
For those with dental work who like to talk, laugh or smile, a silver tooth filling shows the world where we could have taken better care of our teeth. But what if there was a way to hide the fact that you even had any cavities in the first place? A composite filling is a tooth-colored plastic and glass mixture used to restore decayed teeth.

I recently had my first visit with Dr. Dena for a crown, cleaning and night guard. Crowns are never fun but he did an amazing job. I highly recommend Dr. Dena and I will definitely be going back.

My family and I love coming to Dr. Dena! He takes care of all of us for our bi-annual teeth checkups. I also just got the Zoom whitening treatment from him and I’m excited for my results!

Have been seeing Dr. Dena for over 15 years. Honesty and integrity would be the words to describe him. Since my first visit I never had reason to go anywhere else.

Awesome dentist! Dr. Dena is always so kind, patient, and caring about his patients and makes the often dreaded "going to the dentist" experience very quick, easy, and painless. Definitely the most efficient dentist I've ever been to. I never have to wait for my appointment when I get there. 11/10 would highly recommend!!!

Always super quick to get my teeth taken care of. Good at emailing me my biannual cleaning reminder and usually not booked out too far in advanced.

I have been going here for about 4 years now. Its about half of what I was paying elsewhere so the prices are good.

I have had 4 cavities fixed here and everything turned out good.

I refer people here all the time because I know Dr Dena will take care of them.

I hadn't been to the dentist in 5 years because of how expensive and time consuming it was. Now I go every six months because its affordable and I know its worth it.

We have been patients of Dr. Dena for over 10 years! My 2 teenagers actually look forward to their 6 month check ups. He is very professional and yet very easy going! I feel at ease in his care! From as early as 8 years old , I have been in and out of dentist offices till I found my jewel, Dr Dena!! He has done well over 10 crowns for me including a bridge and every time I'm going to an appointment, I am excited because I know it will be done "RIGHT"!! As a matter of fact, I was just there yesterday for him to work on my bridge and I kid you not I fell asleep! It felt like I was

Before we found Dr. Dena, we were spending literally two to three times more for the same services in La Jolla, CA from three different dentists. Here is the best part... Dr. Dena is a MUCH better dentist than the ones we went to in La Jolla. He has the newest technology and his staff is always pleasant and very helpful. So we drive 20 min. each way to see a better dentist and save money. HIGHLY recommend Dr. Dena.

Great and friendly staff. He does some good work. They usually have new patient deals, which was the reason I started to come. If you or a family member or friend is looking for a wonderful dentist. This is the place! Especially if you don't like going to the dentist, it's a comfortable environment.
