Our practice has been a part of North County coastal community for over 10 years and counting. We are proud of our long-term relationships with our patients. We value people and health.

We take pride in helping our youngest patients have a wonderful experience here at Millennium Dental in Encinitas.
Dr.Baha and his staff look forward to putting kids at ease and educating both the patients and parents along the way. Millennium Dental comforts children by teaching them that there is nothing to fear about dentistry. Additionally, our dental chairs are equipped with televisions, which help kids relax during dental appointments.
Millennium Dental is mercury free and we do not use any amalgam filling material. Instead, we offer safe composite fillings, which are as strong as mercury and silver fillings, and can be matched to the exact shade of your natural teeth.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to ask Dr.Baha.
Dr.Baha and his staff offer a full array of dental implant work.
From assessment to final implementation, Millennium Dental in Encinitas is your source for dental implant procedures.

Invisalign is an amazing alternative to traditional braces. Dr.Baha and his staff will be happy to consult you on whether Invisalign could be right for you. We have been offering this service for over 10 years at Millennium Dental in Encinitas, with spectacular results from our patients.
Dr.Baha has over 20 years of experience of performing root canals throughout his dental career. While root canals may seem intimidating, Millennium Dental in Encinitas promises to make this necessary evil as pain free as possible for every patient.
Cleanings and check-ups are integral parts of maintaining and monitoring your dental health.

If you struggle with teeth-clenching, grinding, or mild cases of Sleep Apnea, a custom mouthguard may be right for you.
Nightguards and oral appliances can help protect your teeth and help you overcome some cases of sleep apnea. Many patients are never even aware they have these types of sleep issues until the damage is severe. Dr.Baha and his skilled staff are ready to assist you in preventing future dental issues. Please visit Millennium Dental in Encinitas for a consultation.
First and foremost my goal is to keep you healthy. I practice CONSERVATIVE dentistry, meaning we try to keep as much tooth structure as possible. I want you to keep what Mother Nature gave you. I am committed to constantly researching new products, materials, and cutting-edge technologies; and quickly implement them into my practice. I enjoy continuing my education and consistently attend weekend seminars to fine tune my skills. I look forward to meeting you soon!"
