Trusted Solana Beach Dentist

An excellent result cannot be seen; it draws no attention. It harmonizes with the rest of the face. A healthy aesthetic mindset is to desire to look like one’s self only better so that our appearance matches how we feel or view our true selves.
All aesthetic treatments should consider ideal function and appear natural so that others cannot detect what was done, only a general sense of improved appearance.
Aesthetically ideal natural proportions have been developed and honed by artists, scientists and doctors over centuries which are specific to gender, age and race. Results should always fall within these norms yet personalized for each person.
I believe the human body is the most beautiful creation in the universe!

Dr. Curtis Gaball provides adjunctive services such as Botox and Filler.

Botox is a safe, FDA-approved cosmetic treatment that has been popular among healthy American men and women since its FDA approval in 2002. Millions of people have undergone Botox injections to help smooth facial lines and restore a younger appearance. Botox is injected into the facial muscles, helping to block nerve impulses and relax the muscles. Without contracting facial muscles, lines become less evident and are prevented from worsening.

Facial fillers are substances injected beneath the skin to help smooth fine lines and boost facial volume. Also known as dermal fillers, these injections are in-office procedures that are minimally invasive alternatives to cosmetic surgery. Patients often undergo facial filler injections to achieve a more youthful appearance with as little downtime as possible. Fillers are available to target nearly any area of the face, including crow’s feet, laugh lines, and thin lips.

Curtis Gaball, MD is married to Elona Gaball. His personal interests include fitness, philosophy, technical innovation, scientific discovery, personal development, Tony Robbins and Landmark training.

“This IS your life, right here right now” -Larry Pearson.
Our automatic inclination as humans is to live in the future, past, our fears, or other imaginary stories we make up; and we fool ourselves into believing that is our life.
This quote helps me cut through all of that and be present to my real relationships and actual ways of being.

“The best path to oral health is prevention.”

Working in private practice since 2000, Dr. Ruprecht takes an integrative approach to oral health and its relationship to systemic health. She believes the foundation of excellence in periodontics and implant dentistry begins with and follows a solid preventive care program. Oral health and systemic health go hand in hand. With good health supported by periodontics, dentistry becomes the easier part of the work, and the patient receives a significant life upgrade.

Dr. Ruprecht utilizes a multidisciplinary approach to achieve oral health while supporting the body with natural options to strengthen the immune system. She utilizes supplements, PRF technology, nutritional counsel and smoking cessation programs as well as professional referrals and partners to help patients optimize a healthy mind and body.

Dr. Ruprecht’s strengths are in planning complex implant and multidisciplinary cases and helping patients understand treatment in a systematic, organized sequence. She genuinely cares about the health and well-being of her patients and understands that quality care requires investing time in planning cases and building a solid doctor-patient relationship.

Guided by her lifelong enjoyment of instruction, Dr. Ruprecht enjoys teaching surgery and treatment planning in advanced periodontology as part-time faculty at the University of Southern California.

Influenced by her parents’ care for the underprivileged, Dr. Ruprecht felt a calling to mission work early in her career. Dr. Ruprecht volunteers as the clinical director and a board member for SmileOnU, a global nonprofit dental relief organization. She has helped lead mission clinics in India and Cambodia, as well as local clinics in Los Angeles and Orange counties.

Her mission experiences have been profound and life changing. Without exception, she finds that volunteers receive the greater blessing than those they serve.
