Grand Dentistry in downtown ESCONDIDO was started over 20 years ago in 1999 across from Palomar hospital to serve the local community. Since its inception, it has become known as a health centered, minimally invasive, preventive cosmetic practice. We are passionate about caring for the person, not just the teeth! We love patients of all ages and we trained in listening, which is the most important skill in dentistry.
We at Grand Dentistry can tell you that we dont treat patients like numbers, or that no patient is the same, but thats what every other dental practice claims. At Grand Dentistry, we have a unique passion for helping people. We go above and beyond to train ourselves in the art of listening by studying different personality types to better understand our patients to the fullest extent. We then can create the best treatment plan based on what benefits them and their needs.
