San Diego is too large to research every office in depth, so we swept Google Maps across all 31 city ZIP codes (1,243 dental listings), kept the 160 with the strongest volume-adjusted ratings plus every pediatric practice with 25 or more reviews (190 in all), then confirmed each is inside City of San Diego limits and researched it. Ratings read from Google Maps in November 2026; each practice's volume-adjusted rating is scored by where it ranks among San Diego's qualifying practices. Practice facts (hours, languages, Medi-Cal, services) come from each practice's own website or listing, linked in Sources.
