* It Starts With A Spark
With over 2 decades of global dentistry experience, Dr. Chris set out to do dentistry better with Spark Dental. Starting from the California Bay Area, then to the shores of Guam, and other countries, San Diego is now home. Whether it is mentoring pre-dental students who want to pursue a career as a dentist, teaching dental students at Pacific, or volunteering internationally, Dr. Chris has always had a passion to help. With this experience, and countless hours of continuing education in the many disciplines of dentistry, Dr. Chris can truly heal the dental conditions of the mouth. This can positively affect your overall health.
Spark Joy
A magical patient experience. We do dentistry differently. From the first point of contact to our one-on-one assessment meeting, detailed treatment plan, quality care, and subsequent visits, we exceed expectations throughout the entire patient experience. We're on a mission to wow you.
Spark Compassion
We care. Patients may not realize their dental anxiety may lie in the fear of the unknown: that space between saying "yes" to treatment and leaving with a numb mouth from anesthesia. Not knowing why a procedure needs to be done or how it will be completed may lead to apprehension. Simply being able to say "stop" during a dental procedure can be a powerful transition to a positive dental experience. We empathize.
Spark transparency
Complete, see-through care. Through clear explanations, outlined care plans, and transparent pricing, our approach is one that patients refer to as "easy dentistry." From the start: collaborative, transparent care is one of our main goals.
Spark Learning
Educate. Explain. Enlighten. We take the time to sit down, listen, educate, and guide the patient through the entire care process. Because the more we know, the better the outcome. This process must be collaborative.
Spark Quality
Uncompromising quality and care. We understand dental care is a problem-solving process. Sometimes a "simple sensitive tooth" may be a symptom of major underlying problems. Our team never settles for the quick-fix. We're uncompromising when it comes to quality and care. We collaborate with others who are seeking the same.
Spark Solutions
Figuring it out. We're problem solvers before anything. We understand trying to do the same thing again and expecting a different result may be absurd. By collecting the data and connecting the dots, we are able to truly take a holistic approach to your care.

Airway & Sleep

Many of us may have difficulty breathing and sleeping. This may be linked to issues with weight, attention span, daytime sleepiness, and overall health. If you snore, or have been medically diagnosed with sleep apnea and have CPAP intolerance, we can help find solutions to improve your quality of life. 

Stress & TMJ PAIN

Many of our ailments are attributed to stress. Sometimes cervical teeth fillings or night guards are recommended to treat the symptoms of clenching and grinding. Teeth sensitivity, limited jaw opening, jaw or TMJ noise/pain may be signs and symptoms of underlying bite/occlusion dysfunction.

We take a holistic approach to finding the true causes of pain and discomfort. Only then can we plan comprehensive treatment to definitively solve sometimes complex facial pain disorder. Treating the cause rather than the symptom will lead to better results and optimal overall health.You can truly relax, pain-free. 

Cosmetics

We straighten teeth with Invisalign, fix black triangles and close gaps between teeth using conservative resin bonding. When a more dramatic cosmetic result is needed, we can plan for porcelain veneers and restorations. When teeth are missing, we will plan dental implants or bridges to replace them.

We use studio quality photos, video and computer 3-D imaging to capture, design and show potential results prior to beginning any cosmetic dentistry case. Let’s spark your smile!
