Dentist Serving Sorrento Valley, San Diego
If you work in Sorrento Valley, the hard part of seeing a dentist is not the dentistry — it is the calendar. We are a short drive up the I-5 corridor, and we schedule around the workday rather than through the middle of it.
Sorrento Valley is a workplace before it is a neighborhood. The 92121 corridor is dense with biotech and tech employers, which means most of the people searching for a dentist here are not looking for one near home — they are looking for one near the office, ideally close enough that an appointment does not consume half a day of PTO.
That shapes how we schedule. Our office is open Monday through Thursday from 9:00am to 5:00pm, and the appointments that get claimed fastest by Sorrento Valley patients are the earliest slots of the day — in before standup, rather than out in the middle of the afternoon. When you book, tell us you are coming from work and we will steer you toward the times that actually survive a calendar collision.
The other thing that matters for working patients is finishing treatment in fewer visits. A crown that takes two appointments plus a temporary is three interruptions to your week. Dr. Abadan handles crown work, root canals, and extractions in house without referring you to a separate specialist office across town, which for a Sorrento Valley patient is often the difference between getting treatment done and putting it off another year.

Built for people fitting dentistry around a job
The treatments Sorrento Valley patients ask about most are the ones with a time cost attached: crowns, root canals, and urgent problems that flared up mid-week. Because every one of those is handled in house rather than referred out, the total number of trips you make stays low. We will also tell you up front how many visits a treatment plan actually requires, so you can put it on the calendar honestly instead of discovering a fourth appointment halfway through.
Sorrento Valley Patient Questions
Do you have appointments that work around a Sorrento Valley job?
We are open Monday through Thursday, 9:00am to 5:00pm, and the first appointments of the morning are the ones our working patients claim most. Mention that you are coming from Sorrento Valley when you call (858) 350-7400 and we will point you at the slots least likely to eat your afternoon.
Are you open on Fridays?
No. The office is closed Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. If Friday is the only day that works for you, it is worth saying so when you call so we can look at what a Monday-through-Thursday plan would realistically look like for you.
How many visits does a crown take?
Typically two: one to prepare the tooth and take impressions, and one to seat the permanent crown, with a temporary in between. Dr. Abadan will tell you at the first visit exactly how many appointments your specific case needs, so you can schedule the whole thing at once rather than discovering it piecemeal.
What if I have a dental emergency during the workday?
Call (858) 350-7400 as early as you can. We hold room for urgent problems — a cracked tooth, sudden swelling, a filling that came out — and being a short drive up I-5 means a Sorrento Valley patient can often be seen and back at work the same day.
Accepting New Patients
Your first visit will change how you think about dentistry.
That's not a promise we make lightly — it's what patients tell us after their first appointment. Same-week appointments usually available. No pressure, no judgment, no hidden costs.
