About Fine Dentistry

Fine Dentistry is a dental practice on Sorrento Valley Road in the Torrey Preserve area of San Diego, California. Holistic, or biological, dentistry applies standard dental diagnosis and treatment within an approach that emphasises material choice and conservative treatment, considering oral health as connected to the body more broadly rather than treating the mouth in isolation.

Beyond any single treatment, most dental visits start with an examination — checking for decay, reviewing the gums, and looking at existing fillings or crowns — often alongside X-rays where there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth. That groundwork is what a dentist uses to explain any findings and set out next steps before you leave.

Routine attendance, roughly every six months for most people, is what actually keeps small problems small. A lot of decay and gum disease develops without any pain in its early stages, which is why regular checkups matter even when nothing seems to be wrong, rather than only booking an appointment once something hurts.

A first appointment at a new practice typically covers a full examination, a review of your dental and medical history, and a professional cleaning, with X-rays if you do not have recent ones. It is also a reasonable time to raise any longer-term concerns, cosmetic or otherwise, so they can be factored into a plan going forward.

Day-to-day oral health still comes down to the basics between visits — brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between the teeth, and limiting how often sugary food and drink appear through the day matters more than the total amount eaten at once. Regular professional care is what catches whatever those habits do not.

Digital X-rays are a routine part of dental care because they show what a visual exam alone cannot — decay forming between teeth, bone loss below the gumline, and how developing adult teeth are positioned in children. They use a low radiation dose and are taken on a schedule matched to individual risk rather than at every single visit.

What is holistic dentistry?
It is an approach that considers oral health in the context of overall health and tends to emphasise material choices and conservative treatment. The underlying clinical standards for diagnosing and treating dental disease remain the same.
Do holistic dentists use fillings without mercury?
Practices describing themselves this way typically favour tooth-coloured composite and ceramic materials over amalgam. If material choice is your reason for choosing a practice, it is worth confirming directly what they use.
Is it normal for teeth to be sensitive to cold?
Mild, brief sensitivity is common and often relates to exposed root surfaces or worn enamel. Sensitivity that lingers after the cold is removed is more significant and worth having examined, as it can indicate the nerve is involved.

I've been coming to this fabulous dentistry for over decade and it just keeps getting better! Dr. Purps has great credentials, though her attitude and approach are beyond measure! Dr. Purps is like a excellent artist making every detail matter, with precision! When entering, you are greeted by Marci, or Savannah, who handle the front desk with kindness, and an amazing attitude! Thank you for what you do!😍💫💫💫💫💫💝

Despite having insurance options, my choice is Dr. Purps who is not in network. She is competent and up-to-date with technology. The staff is extremely cordial and welcoming. Going to the dentist can be a nightmare. Goiing to FINE Dentistry is a dream. Highly recommended.

Dr Purps and her team are always phenomenal. Going here always gives the impression that her care is levels above the rest. She stands by her work and also was kind enough to provide complimentary bleaching trays/kits before my wedding. Thank you!!!

Dr. Sabine is truly heads and shoulders above every biological dentist I’ve seen in San Diego. Her advanced techniques, meticulous attention to detail, and gentle approach set her apart. She never rushes; every visit feels calm, thoughtful, and deeply patient-centered. She takes the time to explain everything (and happily repeats herself when needed), empowering me to choose from well-explained options rather than pushing rushed decisions. I’ve always felt informed, respected, and completely supported. I also appreciate her creativity and willingness to meet me where I’m at on the “crunchy scale.” She’s genuinely holistic, endlessly curious, and clearly committed to learning and growth. I feel truly cared for here, and I trust her expertise.

I’m in awe. I’ve seen reviews of this place for years from local moms and always talked myself out of it. I’ve been disappointed every time I’ve tried other offices promising that promise a similar holistic approach service but ultimately it would just be a busy dental office…. Cleaning, 5 mins with dentist, treatment plan, chaching. My initial appointment was incredibly informative. I feel like I’ve learned so much and I have a path of hope for not just me but my kids and so many others. If you are looking for a place to TRULY be seen, heard, supported but a team that is deeply committed to you health - this is the place.
