At Dougherty Dental in La Jolla, CA, we offer comprehensive dental care services for all of your oral health needs, including restorative, cosmetic, periodontal, and general and family dentistry. We also provide specialized dental treatments, the latest in cutting-edge dental technologies, and sedation methods to make your dental experience a breeze.

Preventive Care

Preventive dental care is incredibly important to all of us here at Dougherty Dental, and it is the bedrock that holds up this dentistry practice. Research has shown a link between oral health and overall health so neglecting your teeth and gums can lead to systemic issues, like cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, or diabetes. We invite you to invest a little bit of time today to prevent future problems from developing, including seeing us twice a year for professional dental cleanings, once a year for a comprehensive dental exam, and utilizing our many protective dental services, such as fluoride treatments and dental sealants.

"Why do dental emergencies always happen on weekends or right before trips? Well, both happened to me when I lost a crown this weekend, and am leaving on the first flight out tomorrow. (It was done by another dentist.) Dr. Salazar squeezed me in at the last minute this morning. Crown was damaged, but they worked a fix that will get me through my trip. In and out in 20 minutes."
