Comprehensive Dentistry Services for All Ages
At Inspire Smiles, we understand that oral health needs evolve throughout life. That's why our practice offers a complete spectrum of dental services designed to care for patients from Del Mar and surrounding areas from their first tooth to their golden years. Our comprehensive approach ensures that everyone in your family receives the specialized attention they deserve in one convenient location.
General & Family Dentistry: Foundation of Oral Health
The cornerstone of lasting oral health begins with consistent general dentistry care. As your trusted dentist in Del Mar, CA, we focus on building relationships that last generations, getting to know each family member's unique dental history and needs.
Our general dentistry services include thorough oral examinations, digital X-rays that minimize radiation exposure, and professional cleanings that reach areas your toothbrush simply can't. We take pride in creating customized treatment plans that address immediate concerns while laying the groundwork for long-term oral health.
"Our practice philosophy centers on prevention and education," explains Dr. Elona Gaball, who brings over 25 years of experience in cosmetic and reconstructive dentistry to patients throughout Del Mar and North County San Diego. "We believe that informed patients make better decisions about their oral health."
Regular Check-Ups and Cleanings
Bi-annual dental visits are more than just routine appointments—they're essential investments in your overall health. During these visits at our Del Mar dental office, we conduct comprehensive examinations to detect early signs of tooth decay, gum disease, oral cancer, and other potential issues before they become more serious problems.
Professional cleanings remove stubborn plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing can't address, helping to prevent cavities and periodontal disease. Our hygienists use gentle techniques and state-of-the-art tools to ensure your cleaning experience is both thorough and comfortable.
For patients with dental anxiety, Inspire Smiles offers special accommodations including aromatherapy, Netflix streaming during procedures, and noise-canceling headphones—creating a spa-like atmosphere that helps even the most nervous patients relax during their cleanings.
Pediatric Dentistry: Gentle Care for Kids
Children require a special touch when it comes to dental care, and our dentists in Del Mar excel at making young patients feel comfortable and excited about their oral health. We recommend scheduling your child's first dental visit around their first birthday, establishing positive dental experiences from the very beginning.
Our kid-friendly environment features a warm, welcoming approach that turns potentially scary dental visits into positive adventures. We take extra time explaining procedures in age-appropriate language and demonstrating proper brushing and flossing techniques that children can easily understand and practice at home.
"We focus on creating positive associations with dentistry for our youngest patients," shares a hygienist at Del Mar Family Dental. "When children learn to love visiting the dentist, they develop healthy habits that last a lifetime."
Preventative Care: Protecting Your Smile
At Inspire Smiles, we firmly believe that prevention is always preferable to treatment. Our preventative approach goes beyond basic cleanings to build comprehensive protection for your smile. By investing in preventative care today, you can avoid more complex and costly procedures tomorrow.
Our preventative philosophy extends to patient education—we take time during each visit to demonstrate proper brushing and flossing techniques, discuss nutrition's impact on oral health, and address specific concerns based on your unique dental situation. This partnership approach empowers you to take control of your oral health between visits to your dentist in Del Mar, CA.
Dental Hygiene Tips and Practices
Maintaining optimal oral health between professional visits requires consistent home care. Our team at Del Mar family dentistry provides personalized recommendations tailored to your specific needs, including:
• Brushing techniques that effectively clean all tooth surfaces without damaging enamel or gum tissue • Proper flossing methods to remove plaque from between teeth and below the gumline • Appropriate mouth rinses based on your specific oral health needs • Nutritional guidance to support healthy teeth and gums • Product recommendations for toothbrushes, floss, and other oral hygiene tools
We emphasize the connection between oral health and overall wellness, helping patients understand how conditions like gum disease can impact systemic health issues including heart disease and diabetes.
Sealants and Fluoride Treatments
Even with excellent home care, teeth—particularly molars with deep grooves—can be vulnerable to decay. That's why dentists in Del Mar offer protective treatments like dental sealants and professional fluoride applications as additional layers of defense.
Dental sealants provide a physical barrier against cavity-causing bacteria by filling in the deep pits and fissures of molars where toothbrush bristles can't reach. This quick, painless procedure is especially beneficial for children but can protect patients of all ages from decay.
Fluoride treatments strengthen tooth enamel by remineralizing areas showing early signs of decay. These professional-strength applications provide significantly more protection than over-the-counter products, effectively "hardening" teeth against acid attacks from bacteria and acidic foods.
For particularly cavity-prone patients, our Del Mar family dental practice may recommend more frequent fluoride treatments as part of a comprehensive preventative strategy, ensuring your smile remains healthy and bright for years to come.
Advanced Cosmetic Dentistry Solutions
In Del Mar, the demand for transformative smile enhancements continues to grow, reflecting the worldwide trend that has expanded the teeth whitening market to nearly $9 billion. At Inspire Smiles, we've established ourselves as the premier Del Mar cosmetic dentist by offering advanced aesthetic solutions that blend artistry with dental science. Our comprehensive approach doesn't just improve appearance—it enhances function and boosts confidence, creating life-changing results.
Transform Your Smile: Whitening, Veneers, and More
Your smile is often the first feature people notice, making it an essential element of your personal and professional presence. At Inspire Smiles, we offer customized cosmetic solutions designed to address your unique concerns and achieve your desired results. We proudly serve patients from Del Mar and neighboring communities who are looking to enhance their smiles.
Our professional teeth whitening options include in-office treatments that deliver dramatic results in a single appointment—with advanced systems providing results in under an hour with minimal sensitivity. For those preferring gradual enhancement, our take-home whitening kits offer professional-grade results in the comfort of your own home. We also offer laser teeth whitening for patients seeking the most advanced whitening technology available.
Porcelain veneers represent another cornerstone of our cosmetic offerings. These ultra-thin, custom-crafted ceramic shells are bonded to the front surface of teeth to instantly transform their appearance. With nearly 8% of Americans now choosing veneers and procedures increasing by 250% compared to previous years, more patients are discovering this powerful solution for concerns like discoloration, chips, gaps, and mild misalignment.
"What makes our approach to cosmetic dentistry unique is our attention to facial harmony," explains Dr. Elona Gaball, our lead cosmetic dentist in Del Mar. "We don't just create beautiful teeth—we ensure they complement your facial features, creating natural results that enhance your overall appearance."
Del Mar Dental Arts also offers Lumineers (a minimal-prep veneer option), dental bonding for minor aesthetic corrections, and artistic tooth-colored fillings that blend seamlessly with natural teeth. Each treatment is customized to match your unique facial features, skin tone, and personal preferences.
Innovative Technologies: CEREC Crowns and Smile Makeovers
The integration of cutting-edge technology sets Del Mar Smiles apart in the field of cosmetic dentistry. Our practice has embraced Digital Smile Design (DSD) technology, allowing you to preview your potential results before treatment begins. This revolutionary approach ensures your expectations align perfectly with the final outcome.
Our CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) system represents a true breakthrough in restorative dentistry. This technology enables us to design, fabricate, and place custom ceramic crowns in a single appointment—eliminating the need for temporary restorations and multiple visits. The precision of CEREC ensures exceptional fit and aesthetics, with crowns that are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth.
For those seeking comprehensive transformation, our smile makeover process combines multiple procedures into a cohesive treatment plan. Using AI-guided treatment planning and virtual smile simulations, we create customized roadmaps that may include teeth whitening, veneers, crowns, orthodontics, and even facial aesthetic treatments for truly harmonious results.
"Today's cosmetic dentistry is both an art and a science," notes Dr. Curtis Gaball, whose background as a facial plastic surgeon brings unique perspective to our cosmetic treatments. "By leveraging advanced technologies like 3D imaging and computer-assisted design, we achieve results that would have been impossible just a few years ago."
Our Del Mar dental studio has also embraced minimally invasive procedures like composite bonding and micro-thin veneers that preserve more natural tooth structure while delivering beautiful aesthetic improvements. This conservative approach ensures long-term dental health while still providing outstanding cosmetic results.
Patient Success Stories: Before and After Transformations
The true measure of any Del Mar cosmetic dentist is found in the smiles they transform and the lives they change. Our gallery of before-and-after transformations tells powerful stories of renewed confidence and self-assurance.
William, who discovered Inspire Smiles through a recommendation, shares in his video testimonial: "I was hesitant at first, but seeing the transformation in my smile has completely changed how I interact with people. I'm no longer hiding my smile in photos or covering my mouth when I laugh."
Bryan, another patient who chose Dr. Elona after extensive research, notes: "The attention to detail and artistic approach to my smile makeover exceeded my expectations. The team took time to understand exactly what I wanted and delivered results that feel completely natural."
These success stories reflect the 90% of patients who report significant improvements with modern cosmetic dentistry solutions. Our comprehensive video gallery showcases these transformations, highlighting not just the physical changes but the emotional impact of a confident new smile.
Perhaps most meaningful is our community initiative providing pro bono smile transformations for human trafficking survivors. This work exemplifies our belief that cosmetic dentistry is more than aesthetic enhancement—it's about restoring dignity and confidence to individuals who deserve a fresh start.
At Inspire Smiles, our holistic approach means we consider not just how your smile looks, but how it functions and how it makes you feel. Our Del Mar dental arts team combines technical excellence with artistic vision to create smiles that not only look beautiful but feel natural and function perfectly. Whether you're seeking subtle enhancement or dramatic transformation, we invite you to discover the life-changing potential of advanced cosmetic dentistry.
Restorative Dentistry: Rebuilding Teeth and Confidence
When dental damage occurs—whether from decay, injury, or disease—restoring both function and appearance becomes essential for your oral health and self-confidence. At Del Mar Dental Clinic, we combine advanced restorative techniques with artistic vision to rebuild not just teeth, but also the confidence that comes with a complete, functional smile.
Restorative dentistry at Inspire Smiles goes beyond simply fixing dental problems. Our Del Mar Professional Dental Group approaches each restoration as an opportunity to enhance your overall oral health, improve functionality, and create aesthetically pleasing results that stand the test of time.
Dental Implants: A Permanent Solution to Tooth Loss
Tooth loss can have profound effects on your oral health, facial structure, and self-confidence. Dental implants have revolutionized modern dentistry by providing the closest possible replacement for natural teeth. As a leading dentist in Del Mar, we utilize state-of-the-art implant technology to create restorations that look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
Dental implants consist of titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone, creating an artificial tooth root that fuses with your natural bone through a process called osseointegration. This solid foundation supports a custom-crafted crown that perfectly matches your surrounding teeth in color, shape, and function.
"What makes implants superior to traditional tooth replacement options is their ability to preserve bone structure," explains Dr. Elona Gaball of Del Mar Dentistry. "When a tooth root is lost, the jawbone begins to deteriorate. Implants stimulate the bone just like natural roots, preventing this deterioration and maintaining facial structure."
The advent of 3D printing technology has significantly enhanced our ability to create precision-milled implants and restorations that fit perfectly and look completely natural. This technology allows for more efficient production of custom dental implants, making this ideal tooth replacement solution more accessible to our patients.
For patients missing multiple teeth, we also offer implant-supported dentures that combine the stability of implants with the full-arch replacement of dentures. This innovative solution eliminates common denture problems like slipping and provides superior chewing ability compared to traditional dentures.
Root Canal Therapy: Pain-Free and Effective
Few dental procedures carry as much unwarranted anxiety as root canal therapy. At Inspire Smiles, we've transformed this once-dreaded procedure into a comfortable experience that relieves pain rather than causes it. Using the latest techniques and technology, our dentists serving Del Mar perform root canals that are remarkably gentle and effective.
Root canal therapy becomes necessary when the soft inner tissue of a tooth (the pulp) becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures, cracks, or trauma. Rather than extracting the tooth, root canal treatment allows us to remove the damaged pulp, clean the inner chambers, and seal the tooth to prevent reinfection.
"The outdated perception of root canals being painful is simply no longer true," notes a dentist at Inspire Smiles. "With modern anesthetics, precision instruments, and our focus on patient comfort, most patients report the procedure feels similar to having a routine filling placed."
For patients with dental anxiety, Inspire Smiles offers additional comfort measures, including aromatherapy, Netflix streaming during procedures, and noise-canceling headphones—creating a peaceful experience even during more complex procedures like root canal therapy.
Following treatment, most patients experience immediate relief from the pain that prompted their visit. The restored tooth can last a lifetime with proper care, allowing you to maintain your natural smile and avoid the complications and expense of tooth replacement.
Dentures and Partials: Custom Fit Solutions
For patients requiring the replacement of multiple teeth or full arches, modern dentures offer comfort, functionality, and natural aesthetics that far surpass the dentures of previous generations. At Inspire Smiles, we create custom-designed partial and full dentures that restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Partial dentures replace one or more missing teeth while preserving healthy natural teeth. These removable appliances attach to existing teeth with discrete clasps or precision attachments, creating a seamless appearance when worn. Our meticulous design process ensures partials blend perfectly with your natural teeth in color, shape, and size.
Full dentures replace an entire arch of teeth and provide support for facial muscles, preventing the sunken appearance that often accompanies tooth loss. Using advanced materials and techniques, we create dentures that mimic the look of natural gum tissue and teeth while providing optimal fit and function.
"The art of creating truly exceptional dentures lies in the details," explains our prosthodontics specialist at Inspire Smiles. "We carefully consider facial structure, lip support, and even speech patterns when designing dentures. The result is a restoration that looks natural and feels comfortable during everyday activities."
For qualifying patients seeking maximum stability, we recommend implant-supported dentures. By securing dentures to strategically placed dental implants, we can eliminate movement during eating and speaking while preserving jawbone density and facial contours.
At Inspire Smiles, our restorative philosophy embraces both function and aesthetics. Whether you need a single implant or complete dental reconstruction, our team combines technical expertise with an artistic eye to create restorations that not only work beautifully but look completely natural. Each restoration is crafted to complement your facial features and existing teeth, ensuring results that enhance your appearance and renew your confidence.
Every restorative journey at our practice begins with a comprehensive consultation, allowing us to understand your goals and develop a customized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs and circumstances. Our commitment to excellence in restorative care has made us a trusted destination for patients throughout Del Mar and surrounding communities seeking to rebuild their smiles and confidence.

Dental emergencies rarely happen at convenient times. That’s why Inspire Smiles welcomes walk-in patients with urgent needs. Whether you're experiencing tooth pain, have a broken restoration, or are dealing with any other dental emergency, we make every effort to see you the same day you contact us.
"Dental pain can be debilitating, and waiting days for an appointment isn't acceptable," says Dr. Elona Gaball. "We intentionally leave space in our daily schedule to accommodate emergencies and unexpected needs."
Even for non-emergency situations, our flexible scheduling approach means we can often accommodate same-day or next-day appointments.
At Inspire Smiles, we believe that convenience shouldn't come at the expense of quality. We’ve simply found ways to deliver the exceptional care you deserve in a framework that fits your life—because dental visits should enhance your well-being, not complicate your schedule.
