Dr. Daniel Vinograd is a holistic cosmetic dentist with more than 25 years of experience.  He offers diagnostic and treatment options all in one convenient visit to Brighton Dental in San Diego.  Dr. Vinograd uses only the latest technology to offer services that include:

  • Cosmetic dental procedures
  • Non-toxic dentistry
  • Invisalign
  • Gentle dental techniques that reduce anxiety
  • Drill-free fillings
  • Laser diagnostics
  • Biocompatible materials for cosmetic restorations
  • High powered teeth whitening

Dr. Vinograd takes a holistic approach to dentistry that includes encouraging patients to maintain a healthy lifestyle.  He goes further, however, and has established six key points for his patients that he also follows himself.  These are:

  • Less packaged and processed food and more high quality protein and fresh fruits and vegetables
  • Ask questions of doctors as well as dentists and keep lines of communication open
  • When restorations are needed, use non-toxic and biocompatible
  • Use ozone-infused water between visits as part of the daily routine
  • Recognize the link between dental health and overall health
  • Encourage spiritual and mental well-being through the practice of meditation and yoga

Dr. Vinograd realizes that dental health is closely tied to mental health as well as overall health, so he prioritizes the relationships he has established with his patients over the years. Dr. Vinograd frequently offers health tips and a hug to his patients before they leave the office.

One of the most important aspects of those relationships, in Dr. Vinograd’s view, is ensuring that patients are not in pain during or after procedures.  He takes great pride in helping his patients to overcome any dental anxiety by providing a positive experience.  Dr. Vinograd knows that dental anxiety is frequently the result of a prior negative experience, so he works hard to earn his patients’ trust by providing pain-free dentistry with excellent result.

Dr. Vinograd earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree (D.D.S) from the University of Southern California in 1978, where he is now an associate professor.  He went on to earn his dental certificate from the Universidad Tecnologica de Mexico and his Bilingual Secondary Education Teaching Credential in 1992 from San Diego State University.  He is fluent in Spanish and has participated in five mission trips.

He is a current International Association of Mercury Safe Dentists, International Society of Dental Anxiety Management and participates in the International Academy of Oral Medicine & Toxicology.  When he’s not working, Dr. Vinograd enjoys yoga and meditation.
