About David Eshom, DDS

David Eshom, DDS is at suite 245, 8899 University Center Lane in University City — a location in the UTC corridor near the University Towne Centre business and shopping district, accessible from La Jolla, University City, and Torrey Pines. Dr. Eshom has practiced cosmetic and general dentistry in this part of San Diego for twenty years, building a patient base in the UTC and University City professional and academic community.

Cosmetic dentistry is the stated clinical focus over twenty years in the UTC market. The University City and La Jolla demographic — which includes UCSD faculty and staff, biotech and pharmaceutical industry employees from the Torrey Pines Research Mesa, and healthcare professionals from the UCSD Health campus — creates consistently high cosmetic dental demand and high esthetic expectations. Two decades of cosmetic dental practice in a single location allows a practitioner to build the case volume and visual judgement that separates technically competent cosmetic work from the esthetic refinement that demanding cosmetic patients seek.

Sleep apnea treatment is listed alongside cosmetic dentistry — a clinical adjacency that reflects the high-stress professional population in the UTC catchment area. Untreated obstructive sleep apnea has well-documented effects on cognitive performance and cardiovascular health that are particularly consequential for the biotech and academic professional demographic in University City. Oral appliance therapy managed within the general dental relationship provides an effective and accessible non-CPAP intervention for mild-to-moderate OSA patients.

Smile makeovers — sequenced cosmetic and restorative work planned for the full smile rather than individual teeth — are a natural clinical focus at an established cosmetic practice with twenty years of case volume. Invisalign for adult alignment correction addresses the orthodontic component of smile makeover cases where tooth position needs correction before cosmetic restorations can be placed durably.

Gum disease treatment, sedation dentistry, and dental implants round out the clinical scope beyond the cosmetic focus. For University City and La Jolla UTC corridor patients who want a cosmetically focused general practice with twenty years of San Diego experience and sleep apnea management capability, Dr. Eshom's suite 245 at 8899 University Center Lane provides that combination.

Dr. David Eshom is a general dentist with twenty years of experience in the art and science of cosmetic dentistry. He has perfected his technique so that he can provide you with quality dentistry, the best that modern dentistry has to offer. He uses the latest high-tech equipment, such as lasers, digital x-rays, and computer imaging so that patients have a more comfortable and unforgettable experience. With his drive for perfection and meticulous attention to detail, Dr. Eshom brings forth your

I have been coming here for cleanings and Invisalign treatment in San Diego. Cynthia, Joanne, Amber, Rebecca, Katy, Dr. Eshom, and all the staff are so friendly and knowledgeable. They have never made me feel judged or uncomfortable. I highly recommend coming here for a great experience. Thank you all so much 🙏 I recently got porcelain veneers with Dr. Eshom and am super happy with the results. I no longer have to hide my smile, and I highly recommend them to anyone who has been on the fence about porcelain veneers. Definitely consult with Dr. Eshom. If it's the right fit for your goals, it is 100% worth it. It feels like a little weight has been lifted from my shoulders, boosting my self-esteem and confidence. Here's the photo I took with my family showing my teeth, and for the first time, I don't have to hide or feel self-conscious about my smile.

Dr. Eshom is by far the most professional, excellent and reliable dentist in San Diego. I went to him because I was unhappy with my smile and now I can't imagine not having the beautiful teeth I do! He and his entire staff are so cooperative and easy to work with. I'm so particular as a dental patient and they worked with me diligently to be certain my smile is perfect.

I've been going to Dr. Eshom's for six years now and have nothing but amazing things to say about the entire office. Everyone is friendly, welcoming, and they truly make you want to go to the dentist—which is saying a lot! Jill, in particular, has been outstanding. She's always so kind, professional, and attentive. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to elevate the quality of their dental care.

I truly cannot say enough amazing things about my Invisalign experience here. From the very beginning, the entire team made me feel comfortable, cared for, and excited about the process. They are truly one of a kind. Not only is everyone incredibly kind and professional, but the attention to detail and level of care is unmatched. Every appointment has been such a positive experience, and they always take the time to answer questions and make sure everything feels perfect. My smile has completely transformed, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with my results. If you’re considering Invisalign, this is the place to go. I’m beyond grateful for such an amazing experience and would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat!

I came in yesterday to see Dr. Eshom to replace bonding I had done many years ago. Dr. Eshom and his assistant Joan made the procedure seamless, comfortable and pain free. They communicated every step of the way and really cared about their work. I am very happy with my results and recommend anyone looking to get cosmetic dentistry done, give them a call.

I’d been searching for a quality dental practice for years before discovering Dr. Eshom’s office—and it truly exceeded my expectations. The space is modern, spotless, and welcoming. The front desk team is consistently kind and efficient, and I’ve never waited more than a few moments to be seen. I actually look forward to my appointments, thanks to Lori, my hygienist. She is incredibly kind, patient, and empathetic—just a genuinely warm person. Her work is thorough and detail-oriented, yet always gentle. She goes the extra mile to make each visit comfortable, offering a warm neck pillow and even letting you choose what to watch on TV during your appointment. On top of all that, the pricing is very reasonable for the level of care you receive. I couldn’t recommend this practice more highly.
