Dr. Paul Michels currently heads the Cardinal Dental office on Fletcher Parkway in La Mesa. Dr. Michels is a 2009 honors graduate of the University Of Southern California Of Dentistry and specializes in cosmetic and implant dentistry. Dr. Michels has an extraordinary passion for dentistry and works hard to educate his patients regarding their oral so health so they can make their own educated decisions.

Dr. Michels is licensed to perform conscious oral sedation for patients who suffer from dental anxiety so you can have all your dental problems addressed at one time in a calm, relaxing environment.
