I followed up with more than three additional years of continuous training after dental school, studying implantology, oral surgery, and cosmetic dentistry. In my spare time, I enjoy cooking and traveling with my wife and am currently teaching my Labradoodle how to paddleboard.

What Our Patients Say About Us
Lauren Ho. is one of the best dentist’s here I had a great experience in filling my cavity and I would recommend if you need anything done with the best possible care. 🤠
I am writing this review to share yet another wonderful experience at Clairemont Smiles. I went in yesterday for a routine periodontal maintenance visit, and as always, the care was exceptional. Dr. Ho is extremely knowledgeable and thorough. Annie, the hygienist, amazes me every single time. Knowing I have cold sensitivity, she proactively filled the ultrasonic scaler's water tank with warm water to ensure my comfort. She truly takes her time, performing extra passes with the scaler and putting incredible effort into meticulous scaling, stain removal, and thorough pocket cleaning. Furthermore, Annie recommended a tailored treatment plan involving laser therapy and Arestin to best manage my periodontal health. Having received periodontal maintenance for over 18 years, I can confidently say she is by far the best hygienist I have ever had. I couldn't ask for a better dental team!
Vanya was excellent while doing my deep root cleaning.
