A proud California native, Dr. Justin Carl has called San Diego home for over 12 years. He earned his degree in Biology from San Diego State University and went on to receive his dental degree from the University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry through a military scholarship.
In 2012, Dr. Carl was commissioned as a Naval officer and began a 13-year active-duty career. He completed both a General Practice Residency and an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Residency at Naval Medical Center San Diego. His service took him around the world, with deployments aboard the USS George Washington and USS Nimitz, as well as leadership positions at Naval Hospital Bremerton and, most recently, as Department Head of Oral Surgery at the U.S. Naval Hospital in Okinawa, Japan. He continues to serve in the Navy Reserves, maintaining his commitment to both his country and his patients.
Dr. Carl is board certified by the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. He is a Fellow of the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, the American College of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, and the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, as well as a member of the American College of Surgeons. His advanced training spans the full-scope oral and maxillofacial surgery with specialized expertise in anesthesia, facial trauma, cosmetic surgery, orthognathic surgery, and surgical treatment of obstructive sleep apnea.
Now part of the North County Oral & Facial Surgery Center team, Dr. Carl is honored to serve the San Diego community with the same dedication and compassion that defined his military career.
“My military career allowed me to care for our Nation’s heroes and work alongside some of the most dedicated professionals in the world. I am incredibly grateful for those experiences and excited to bring that same level of dedication to my patients here at home.”-Dr. Carl
Outside of work, he enjoys hiking, skiing, reading, and spending time with his wife and their two young sons. Together, they’re thrilled to be back in San Diego and close to loved ones once again.
