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

Dr. Eshom is the best dentist in San Diego! He is meticulous and wants to make sure everything is perfect when working on your teeth! Highly recommend!
I love, love, love everyone here! They make you feel like family and Dr. Eshom is so sincere and kind. You can feel he truly cares about the work he is doing. I will forever come back to this practice. I don’t care if I have to fly in!
Excellent, professional service.
Knowledgeable and caring staff. Affordable prices. Convenient location. I first came here for my Invisalign, but now I’m here for general dentistry as well. I couldn’t be happier.
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.
It's been a long time since I've smiled widely. To say my teeth were pretty rough looking would have been a major understatement. With that said, I had been thinking of getting veneers for quite some time. I found Dr Eshom's practice online and based on the reviews, decided to schedule an appointment for a consultation. The consultation proved to be a prime example of where my experience was even better than expected. Both Dr. Eshom, his office manager Cynthia and assistant JoAnne were exceptional. I never felt pressured or rushed to jump into anything. They took time to answer all my questions and walk me through the process in detail. With their expertise and technology I was able to get a really good idea of what to expect with the final product. I had originally planned on getting a few consults before jumping in. However i was so impressed with their genuineness and relaxed approach I knew I'd found the right Dr. Upon getting home that same day I called back and got setup for the 1st appointment to start down the road to a restored smile. My final visit was today where I was fitted with the permanent veneers. I can honestly say I am absolutely enamored with the work they performed! Teeth and a smile that I am proud to show off! They fit great. They look fantastic! 100% improvement, but in a very natural and healthy way. I'm wearing proof of Dr. Eshom's artistry and expertise! There's no question in my mind as to why he is rated so highly. I highly recommend Dr. Eshom to anyone interested in veneers or related dentistry. Even if you're skeptical but want to see what can be done, it's well worth a consult. Huge thanks to Dr. Eshom and his entire team! I cannot say enough good about the entire experience. Thank you greatly! - Steve L.
I have been going to Dr. Eshom for over 8 years. Wouldn’t go anywhere else! Best dental care ever! Everyone is always so kind, patient and knowledgeable. Lori just cleaned my teeth and did an outstanding job. She was gentle, caring and my teeth feel so clean! Thank you Dr. Eshom & staff.
I have been going to this dentist office for four years. Dr. Eshom’s entire office is fantastic and very customer centric. Over those 4 years I have had routine cleanings, Invisalign and just recently a couple new crowns. Each time I go they make my patient experience very positive. They actually making going to the dentist fun. More importantly my teeth look great and I know they care about my dental health.
Who loves their dentist who gives them shots and drills in their mouth ? I do. Dr Eshom is the best . another dentist said I had decay under a crown requiring a new crown. I got a second opinion from Dr Eshom who told me I was fine — didn’t need unnecessary work. He was my cosmetic dentist for veneers but he is now my dentist for everything. He is skillful and honest; It doesn’t get better than that.
I’ve been going to Dr. Eshome for the past seven years, and I truly wouldn’t trust anyone else with my veneers or Invisalign. I originally came in with severely eroded top teeth, and from the very first appointment, he was incredibly kind, patient, and reassuring. He took the time to walk me through the entire process and explained exactly how we were going to get from point A to point B, which made me feel completely comfortable and confident in my decision. His staff is always extremely friendly and professional, and the office environment is welcoming every single visit. People warned me not to get veneers because they said my teeth might look fake, but now everyone is amazed at how natural and beautiful they look. I constantly get compliments on my smile. I highly recommend Dr. Eshome to anyone considering veneers, Invisalign, or any cosmetic dental work. I truly cannot speak highly enough about him and the care he provides.
