Why Choose Bay View Dental?
Care for the Entire Family
From your toddler's first visit to your grandparent's new crown, we treat patients of all ages with the same warmth and attention. And because we welcome whole families in a single appointment, you won't need to make separate trips to keep everyone's smiles healthy.
Flexible Payment Options Available
A healthy smile shouldn't be out of reach because of cost. Bay View Dental accepts most PPO insurance plans and offers flexible financing options so you can get the care you need and the care you want without financial stress. Our team is happy to explain your coverage and help you find a payment plan that works for your family.
A Focus on Prevention
We believe the best dental work is the kind you never need. That's why every visit at Bay View Dental goes beyond a simple cleaning. With thorough exams, digital imaging, and preventive treatments like sealants and fluoride, we help you stay ahead of problems rather than chasing them.

At Bay View Dental in San Diego, CA, Dr. Megan Shelton, Dr. Peter March, and our dental team have built something patients describe as feeling like family: warm, unhurried, and genuinely on your side.

Get to Know Our Dentists
Dr. Megan Shelton earned her Doctorate of Medical Dentistry from the University of Louisville School of Dentistry in 2012. Over the last 10 years, she has proudly served as a general dentist in the U.S. Navy and in private practice both in her home state of Kentucky and here in Clairemont. Dr. Shelton is passionate about helping patients improve their oral health in a comfortable and educational environment. Her commitment to you is to provide just that with a touch of Southern charm and hospitality.
Dr. March grew up in rural Pennsylvania but has lived in California for many years. He joins our team with nearly a decade of experience. Patients are pleased with his gentle voice and mild manner (likened to our office’s predecessor, Dr. Emerson). His patient-focused philosophy about dentistry is just one of the things that makes him a perfect fit for our office. We are confident that he, along with our team, will provide you with the exceptional dental care that you deserve.

Featured Procedures
Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a cap that covers a damaged or decayed tooth. Dentists can also use crowns along with dental implants to replace teeth. At our Clairemont office, we can produce precisely crafted crowns and other restorations.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium rods that act as prosthetic tooth roots. Once implants are placed in the jawbone, they provide outstanding support for crowns, bridges, or dentures. For most patients with missing teeth, dental implants are the best restoration option available in modern dentistry.
Invisalign
Having crooked teeth may make you feel self-conscious. While traditional orthodontics like metal braces are effective at straightening teeth, they aren't subtle and can be uncomfortable. Our dentists are providers of the Invisalign® system, which uses clear, removable aligners to discreetly and comfortably straighten teeth.
Veneers
If you have cosmetic concerns like chipped, cracked, or stained teeth, veneers may be right for you. Veneers are ultra-thin ceramic shells that our dentists can attach to the front surfaces of teeth to conceal imperfections. They are made from durable, natural-looking materials that can be color-matched to the surrounding teeth.
