MEET DR. SINCLAIR

See The Difference

A dentist in a white coat and sunglasses stands confidently in front of "Sinclair Smiles Encinitas," with five women in black outfits posed behind her.

While working at an ice cream shop during high school, a young Marisela Sinclair met a friend who planned to go to Dental Assistant school. That seemed like the perfect fit for someone like the future Dr. Sinclair who was known for her big, friendly smile.

From Assisant

to Dentist

For several years, she served patients as a dental assistant and learned from some of the top cosmetic dentists in the area before a mentor encouraged her to become a dentist. She went on to earn her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at the University of the Pacific, Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry where she graduated with Honors.

Professional

Excellence

As a lifelong learner, she invests time and money in the latest technology and techniques to ensure her patients have the best available treatment options. She is a member of the Tau Kappa Omega Honor Society, a certified Invisalign® provider, a ZOOM® whitening provider, a certified soft-tissue laser dentistry provider, and an LVI Fellow.

Home Life

Born and raised in San Diego, she loves living here with her husband, their two boys, and their Black Labrador. She enjoys quiet sunny afternoons outdoors, cozy nights near a fire, and other simple outdoor adventures.

“Dr. Sinclair is terrific!”

Dr. Sinclair is terrific! She is skilled and very personable. What I appreciate most about her is that when she works on you, she keeps you informed on what she is doing during the procedure. She is caring when she texts a few days later and asks how you are feeling. I am so pleased to be her patient! And so will you :)
