Dr. Ryan
Wallrich

Dr. Wallrich opened Harbor Dental to create the kind of practice he’d want for his own family: One built on compassion, technology, and a deep connection to the Point Loma community. As a lifelong learner and tech enthusiast, he’s completed advanced training in digital smile design, Invisalign, dental implants, and sedation. Dr. Ryan believes in the power of technology and is passionate about leveraging it to improve outcomes in a fun and collaborative environment. But more than anything, he believes in building trust and making dentistry feel easy to understand. His mission is to create a place where patients feel heard, respected, and cared for — both clinically and personally.

Technology that advances care

We believe great dentistry starts with great tools. That’s why we’ve built a tech-forward practice designed to make your care more precise, more efficient, and more comfortable.

Same-Day Crowns with CEREC

No more waiting weeks for a crown. We design, craft, and place your final restoration all in one visit, using digital impressions and in-house milling.

3D Implant Planning

Our cone beam imaging and 3D printing let us place implants with incredible accuracy — which means more predictable outcomes and faster healing.

AI-Powered Diagnostics

With Overjet AI, we can catch issues earlier and explain them more clearly. It’s a smarter, more confident way to co-diagnose with our patients.

Small details that make a big difference

Going to the dentist shouldn’t feel stressful. That’s why we’ve created an environment that puts your comfort first — every detail is designed to help you relax and feel taken care of.

Ceiling TVs & Noise-Canceling Headphones

Watch your favorite show or just zone out in peace during treatment.

Plush Blankets & Massage Chairs

Settle in and get cozy — we’ve made comfort part of the experience.

50-Inch Patient Education Screens

You’ll see what we see, so you always feel informed and in control of your care.

YOUR FIRST VISIT EXPERIENCE

A warm welcome

When you walk in, our team greets you by name and gives you a quick tour of the space. We want you to feel at ease and know exactly where everything is.

Reviewing your benefits

We'll take time to go over your insurance coverage, answer your questions, and explain our membership and financing options so there are never any surprises.

An iTero 3D wellness scan

Every new patient receives a digital scan that helps us track your oral health long-term. We use these images as a foundation for ongoing care.

A conversation about your goals

Whether it’s maintaining a healthy smile or planning a transformation, we want to understand what matters most to you — and build a plan that fits.

Proactive care, not pressure

Our goal is to help you make informed decisions. We’ll walk through your options together and answer every question with honesty and transparency.
