About David A. Willes, DMD
Dr. David Willes is a dental veteran, having practiced dentistry for over 25 years. He graduated from Brigham Young University in 1989, then went on to Oregon Health & Science University School of Dentistry, where he graduated in 1993. One year later, he completed his general dentistry residency at the Portland VA Medical Center. He practiced dentistry for several years in Oregon before returning to his home state of California to open Willes Dental in Encinitas in 2009. In 2016, Dr. Willes proudly opened our second location in Escondido, where he and Dr. Gloria Tengonciang help our patients build healthy smiles. Earning the trust and respect of our patients, the community, and others in the dental profession is a top priority for Dr. Willes because he wants to provide the best care possible. It’s why he has worked so hard to complete advanced training in several areas, including multiple dental implant systems, ClearCorrect orthodontics, and Lumineers veneers. When he is not hard at work keeping SoCal smiling, he enjoys taking full advantage of living near the California coast. He loves spending time with his family on the beach, boating, wakeboarding, surfing, and just being outdoors.
