Our Dental Services at Radiant Dental Arts

At Radiant Dental Arts, located in the heart of Carmel Valley, we believe every patient deserves a smile they feel confident and comfortable with. Our team, led by Dr. Kurt Christensen and Dr. Marielle Johnson, offers a full spectrum of dental services designed to meet the needs of individuals and families throughout San Diego, Del Mar, Solana Beach, Encinitas, and the surrounding communities.

From your very first visit, you’ll notice the difference. We take the time to listen, explain your options, and create a care plan that fits your goals, your schedule, and your budget. Whether you’re coming in for a routine cleaning or exploring a complete smile transformation, our goal is the same: exceptional, gentle care where health, comfort, and aesthetics come together.

General Dentistry

A healthy smile starts with a strong foundation. Our general dentistry services include professional dental cleanings, fillings, dental crowns (including same-day CEREC crowns), dental bridges, sealants, fluoride treatments, digital impressions, enamel shaping, and treatment for occlusal disease. We also offer sedation dentistry for patients who experience anxiety or discomfort during treatment. Routine preventive care is the cornerstone of long-term oral health, and we make it easy and comfortable.

Cosmetic Dentistry

When you love your smile, it shows. Our cosmetic services include porcelain veneers, dental bonding, smile makeovers, and professional teeth whitening using trusted systems like Zoom, Venus, and Opalescence Go. Whether you want to brighten, reshape, or completely reimagine your smile, Dr. Christensen and Dr. Johnson bring both artistry and clinical precision to every case.

Orthodontic Treatment

Straighter teeth are more than a cosmetic goal. They contribute to better bite function and long-term oral health. We offer Invisalign clear aligners for teens and adults, along with retention services to protect your results after treatment. Invisalign is a popular choice for patients who want a discreet, comfortable alternative to traditional braces.

Periodontal Care

Gum health is the foundation of your overall oral health. Our periodontal services include periodontal cleanings, scaling and root planing, and laser therapy for more advanced gum concerns. Catching and treating gum disease early makes a significant difference in long-term outcomes, and our team is trained to identify issues before they become serious.

Endodontic Treatment

When a tooth becomes infected or severely damaged, root canal therapy can save it and relieve your pain. Our endodontic services include root canal therapy, post and core restorations, and treatment for traumatic dental injuries. Modern techniques and technology make root canals far more comfortable than their reputation suggests.

Oral Surgery

We offer simple tooth extractions when a tooth cannot be saved or is causing problems elsewhere in the mouth. Our team prioritizes patient comfort throughout the procedure and provides clear guidance for a smooth recovery.

Preventative Dentistry

Beyond cleanings and exams, our preventative services include oral cancer screenings and custom occlusal night guards for patients who grind or clench their teeth. Protecting your smile proactively is always more comfortable and more affordable than addressing damage after it occurs.

Prosthodontics and Restorative Dentistry

For patients who have experienced tooth loss or significant damage, we offer a full range of restorative options. These include dental implants, implant restoration, full and partial dentures, flippers and removable partial dentures, and advanced hybrid prosthesis options including All-on-Four and All-on-Six. Restoring function and aesthetics together is what restorative dentistry is all about.
