Meet Dr. Diane Sherman
Cosmetic & implant dentist serving
Encinitas & North County San Diego
Dr. Sherman finds dentistry a wonderful career. She enjoys her staff, patients, and all the procedures she does each day. However, she takes pride in her work the most by being able to help those who are not fortunate enough to have dental care. As there are many countries and communities in the world who are not able to have even the most basic care to prevent pain and subsequently tooth loss, participating in Global Dental Relief is very rewarding. Dr. Sherman, her husband, and her daughter have traveled to Africa and Asia to help treat children in very poor communities. They hope to do the same in our country and in Central America soon.

Education & Prevention
As a practice, we are true believers that preventative care and education are the keys to optimal dental health. We strive to provide “dental health care” vs. “disease care”. That’s why we focus on thorough exams – checking the overall health of your teeth and gums, performing oral cancer exams, and taking x-rays when necessary. We also know that routine cleanings, flossing, sealants, and fluoride are all helpful in preventing dental disease. Not only are we focused on the beauty of your smile, we’re also concerned about your health. A review of your medical history can help us stay informed of your overall health, any new medications, and any illnesses that may impact your dental health.
Uncompromising Safety
Infection control in our office is also very important to us. To protect our patients and ourselves, we strictly maintain sterilization and cross contamination processes using standards recommended by the American Dental Association (ADA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Center for Disease Control (CDC).
