Dr. Glenn Brigden is a board-certified veterinary dentist. He graduated from Kansas State University Veterinary School in 2003 and practiced general medicine for a year in McLean, Virginia. He then completed a rigorous 3-year veterinary dental residency at the Animal Dental Center in Baltimore, Maryland. Moving west in 2007, he joined the team at Arizona Veterinary Dental Specialists, working on small animals and exotic animals at the Phoenix Zoo. In 2009, Dr. Brigden became a diplomate of the American Veterinary Dental College. Along with the AVDC, he is also a member of the Veterinary Dental Society and has co-authored a chapter in the Veterinary Clinics of North America edition of Clinical Veterinary Dentistry in May of 2013. Although Dr. Brigden enjoys and is skilled at all aspects of dentistry, he has a special interest in oral surgery, including jaw fracture repair and oral oncology cases.

Dr. Brigden is fulfilling his life-long dream of owning his own practice. He and his family moved from Arizona to open this practice in 2014. The practice outgrew its space in Encinitas last year and has moved to a bigger location in Carlsbad. Dr. Brigden, his wife, and twins love living in Encinitas and have expanded their pet family to include: 5 dogs, a foster dog, 3 cats, 2 parakeets, 1 turtle, 4 chickens, 2 llamas and 3 goats. In his spare time, Dr. Brigden enjoys running, swimming, reading, camping and spending time outdoors with his family.
