Dentist Serving Del Mar, San Diego
A short drive inland from Del Mar Village puts you at a practice that handles cosmetic work, implants, and family dentistry under one roof — without the specialist referral shuffle that sends you back and forth across the county.
Del Mar patients tend to arrive with a specific problem and a low tolerance for being bounced between offices. That is the thing our practice is actually built around: Dr. Maggie Abadan performs implant placement, laser gum treatment, veneers, and full-mouth work in house, so a case that would normally involve a general dentist plus a periodontist plus a prosthodontist stays in one chair with one person accountable for the result.
Del Mar sits in the 92014 ZIP code, right along the coast, and the drive to our Carmel Mountain Road office is a straightforward one — inland rather than down the I-5 corridor, which means you are generally driving against the worst of the commute rather than into it. For patients coming from the village or the beach side of town, Del Mar Heights Road is usually the cleanest route.
Cosmetic work is the most common reason Del Mar patients find us, and it is worth being blunt about how we approach it. Dr. Abadan will tell you when Lumineers are a better fit than traditional veneers because they preserve your enamel, and she will tell you when Invisalign should come first so that veneers are not being used to mask an alignment problem. That conversation happens before anything is drilled.

Why Del Mar patients tend to come to us
The Del Mar side of our practice skews cosmetic and restorative: porcelain veneers, Lumineers, Invisalign, and implant work, along with the full-mouth rehabilitation cases that need a single clinician holding the whole treatment plan. Patients who have already been quoted by a cosmetic-only practice often come for a second opinion, because we can tell you what the underlying gum and bite situation actually requires before anyone talks about shade matching.
Del Mar Patient Questions
How far is your office from Del Mar?
It is a short inland drive — most Del Mar patients reach us in well under fifteen minutes outside of peak traffic. Del Mar Heights Road is typically the most direct route from the village side of town, and Via de la Valle works better from the north end.
Do you handle cosmetic cases in house, or refer out?
In house. Dr. Abadan places implants, performs laser gum treatment, and does veneer and full-mouth cases herself. That matters for cosmetic work specifically, because the person planning the smile is the same person managing the gum tissue and the bite underneath it.
Should I get Invisalign before veneers?
Often, yes — and it is a conversation worth having before you commit to anything. If teeth are crowded or rotated, veneers end up being used to fake an alignment they cannot really fix, which usually means removing more enamel than necessary. Dr. Abadan will tell you honestly if straightening first would give you a better result with less tooth removed.
Do you take PPO insurance for patients coming from Del Mar?
Yes. We accept most PPO plans including Delta Dental, MetLife, Cigna, Aetna, and United Concordia, and CareCredit financing is available for cosmetic work that insurance does not cover. Call (858) 350-7400 and we can check your specific plan before you come in.
