Hear it From Our Patients!

Trusted by Patients Across North San Diego County

Dr. Howard is awesome! My husband and I have been going to him for over 5 years now! He does fantastic work, and is meticulous. Not only that but he makes your experience as smooth and pain free as possible! He and his staff are kind and caring and they follow up to make sure that you are satisfied. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Lisa B.

Dr. Howard is an incredibly talented and knowledgeable dentist -- but he is more than a dentist. He's an artist. He changed my ugly smile to my best feature. It was one of the smartest things I've ever done for myself. Do it for yourself -- you will be happy you did.

Barbara M.

Best dentist and staff I have ever visited!! I recommend everyone come to a professional place like this. The staff cares and are amazing, and Dr. Howard is amazing at his craft. I wish all dentists were like this.

Chris C.

Dr. Howard Nelson has been my family dentist for over 10 years and we are very happy to have had him to take care of all of our dental concerns. You couldn't meet a nicer person who is very sensitive and tuned-in to patient needs and goes above and beyond any call of duty.

Irene M.

Dr. Howard is the greatest dentist I have ever been to. All 3 generations of the family see him and he is loved by everybody. I will get my teeth pulled before he quits so I don‘t need to see another dentist ever again!

We’re committed to making every experience relaxed without sacrificing treatment quality. We know going to the dentist can be stressful. So, we have invested in advanced technology to make every procedure as quick and painless as possible, from restorative treatments like implants and crowns, to cosmetic solutions like teeth whitening and veneers.

Frequently Asked Implant Questions

Can a tooth be extracted and replaced with an implant on the same day?

Immediate implant placement involves placing the implant at the same appointment as the extraction, which is possible when the bone at the site has sufficient volume and density to support initial stability.

How do implant-supported dentures differ from traditional removable dentures?

Traditional removable dentures rest on the gum surface and rely on suction or adhesive for retention, which means they can shift during eating or speaking and don’t stimulate the underlying bone. Implant-supported dentures anchor to implants placed in the jaw, giving a more stable, secure fit.

What happens during a smile consultation for dental implants?

A smile consultation gives patients the chance to review dental X-rays and 3D cone beam imaging and talk through how their bone volume, natural teeth, and functional goals line up with the available implant configurations.
