Dr. Joshua Parfitt DMD is a board eligible Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon. He attended the Arizona School of Dentistry & Oral Health and graduated as valedictorian. His training in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery was at the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry and he brings a deep passion and commitment to his oral surgery practice.

Following the years of hospital training, the San Diego area became home for his family. In their free time, Dr. Parfitt and his wife take advantage of the local activities, including running and hiking.

We are delighted he chose to join our practice. Dr. Parfitt enjoys all aspects of Oral and Maxillofacial surgery: extractions, bone grafts, implants, wisdom teeth extractions, I.V. sedation, orthodontic related surgery, and oral cancer biopsies. He was recruited to join our practice for his excellent communication skills, his gentle touch and surgical excellence.
