Dr. David W. Cheney X, DDS

Between Encinitas and Del Mar, Dr. David W. Cheney X, DDS sits near the corner of N Cedros Ave and Loma Linda, offering routine checkups alongside more targeted restorative and orthodontic treatments. Picking up a toothache on a weekend here isn’t unusual—most folks stroll in from nearby homes, offices, and the 101 corridor. Crowns, veneers, and night guards share the same clinician list, so one visit can swing from a cleaning straight into a bridge impression. After the exam, patients often grab a coffee at Dunkin’ a block west and walk off the fluoride taste along the bluff trails. Across the street, the 415 N Cedros Ave UNIT 120 storefront is hard to miss once you’re looking for it. Six exam chairs line the back wall, but the real navigation trick is using the small patch of diagonal spaces at the shopping center’s north edge. To lock in an appointment, call (858) 345-1295 before the morning rush—voicemail picks up if no one answers, and they’ll ring back the same day. From the 5 freeway, take Via de la Valle south, jog right on Loma Linda, and park near S Cedros; the map link guides you straight to the door: https://www.google.com/maps/place?ftid=0x80dc0ed37271ec59:0xa25b19907208e7e8. Spend five minutes on the curb and you’ll see why this stretch stays busy from sunrise to sunset.
