Dr. David C. Adams
Dr. David C. Adams is one of San Diego's most highly trained and experienced orthodontic specialists. It might surprise you to know that not every dentist and orthodontist has the same level of training! In fact, only a relatively small proportion of Invisalign providers has the orthodontic or pediatric specialty training that Dr. Adams has. Dr. Adams has helped hundreds of teens experience the benefits of a beautiful smile.
But more than that, Dr. Adams is known for how well he treats each of his patients -- with precision and care for all of their concerns throughout the process of treatment.
Dr. Adams is committed to living near Southern California's beautiful coast, where he enjoys his favorite pastime—surfing. He is also deeply involved in martial arts and enjoys playing the piano, one of the many reason Dr. Adams is such a well-rounded, humble, fun individual which reflects his success and care for his patients.
Dr. Adams' main reason for entering the dental field was being given the opportunity to give people smiles that last a lifetime!
