Janelle Bacino

Dental offices in Pacific Beach tend to cluster along Garnet Avenue, but Janelle Bacino sets up practice just off Mission Boulevard, closer to the bay. The area’s mix of surf shops and taquerias makes it a less expected spot for a dentist’s office, though the steady foot traffic suggests locals know where to look. General dentistry here covers the usual—check-ups, cleanings, fillings—without the frills of a spa-like experience. For those who’d rather not drive the 101 during rush hour, the location offers a quieter alternative to downtown providers.

The office sits at 4747 Mission Blvd Suite 2, San Diego, CA 92109, a short walk from the boardwalk if you’re the type to schedule appointments around beach time. Calling ahead at (858) 273-0111 saves the hassle of guessing availability, especially in a neighborhood where parking can be hit-or-miss. First-time visitors might want to pull up directions beforehand—the suite number isn’t always obvious from the street.
