About Preston Kaenel, DDS
Hi, I am Dr. Preston. Together with my wife Dr. Val, we established Padre Dental in 2001. I see myself as a very conscientious, hardworking individual. I like being able to take the time with each patient and finding out what are the individual needs of each person. The best part about dentistry for me is all the great new technology. I am always researching and taking courses to find out what is best for the office and our patients. Patient safety and comfort is my upmost concern. I love being able to provide treatment with lasers, digital cameras and xrays and one visit crowns with CEREC®. When you are in the office, feel free to ask me about any of our technology that we have to offer. I really enjoy talking with my patients. I am not a native of San Diego, but moved here in 1989 to attend UCSD where I met my wife Dr. Val. I went on to graduate from USC School of Dentistry in 1997 with my Doctorate of Dental Surgery. By finishing in the top 5 of my class, I received OKU Omicron Kappa Upsilon honors. I am a member of the American Dental Society, California Dental Society and the San Diego Dental Society. When I am not at the office, you can probably find me with my two daughters. I also enjoy playing soccer, running, water skiing on my boat and probably most importantly, racing my 1959 Triumph.
