Machado Lester DDS

Oral surgery often feels like a category reserved for specialized needs—wisdom teeth removal, corrective jaw procedures, or complex extractions. Machado Lester DDS fits squarely into that niche, offering services that bridge the gap between routine dental care and more involved surgical work. The practice is situated along Washington Street, a stretch of downtown San Diego where medical offices share sidewalks with cafés and historic buildings. It’s an area where function meets the city’s everyday rhythm, making access straightforward for those navigating the urban core.

Downtown’s density means proximity to transit hubs and major thoroughfares, which can simplify logistics when recovery time or pre-op preparations are part of the equation. Oral surgeons here handle everything from impacted teeth to bone grafting, procedures that typically require more than a standard dental visit. The address—501 Washington St San Diego, CA 92103—places it within walking distance of Cortés Hill and the Gaslamp’s northern edge, a plus for patients who prefer to avoid lengthy commutes after sedation or surgery.

Questions about procedures or post-op care are best directed to the practice’s line: (619) 295-6774. For first-time visitors, mapping the route in advance helps, especially given downtown’s mix of one-way streets and pedestrian zones. Directions are a tap away, though street parking can be competitive during business hours. It’s one of those details that’s easy to overlook until you’re circling the block.
