David A. Sabourin, D.D.S.
Dr. Sabourin relocated to San Diego from Ann Arbor, Michigan where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Michigan. He graduated at the top of his class with High Honors from the University of Detroit School of Dentistry where he received his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree.He was invited to La Jolla to practice and study at the Veteran’s Administration Medical Center and the University of California, in an American Dental Association accredited General Practice Hospital Residency. It is an honor to be selected to a hospital residency, as less than 5% of dental school graduates are invited to join accredited residency programs. Having studied in a Hospital based General Practice Residency, Dr. Sabourin’s training of working one-on-one with a Specialist in multiple areas of Dentistry, gave him the additional skills and confidence to provide his patient family with excellent care in multiple specialty areas of Dentistry.
Dr. Sabourin’s hospital experience enhanced his decision making skills, especially for complex dental patients both in the office and in the operating room. Following his residency, Dr. Sabourin was asked to join the staff at Scripps Clinic Department of Oral Medicine, La Jolla. He was honored to be the first doctor to practice General Dentistry at Scripps Clinic.
