Rooted here
Dr. Hong grew up in Thousand Oaks and took over her father’s practice. This is her hometown office, and our patients are our neighbors.
Gentle, modern care
Solea laser dentistry often means no needle and no drill. Add CEREC same-day crowns and virtually painless Wand injections, and visits get a lot easier.
Whole-body dentistry
A healthy mouth supports a healthy body. Our Complete Health approach looks at the bigger picture.

Solea laser dentistry
Handles many procedures with no needle, no drill noise, and no numb lip afterward.
CEREC same-day dentistry
Crowns and e.max veneers designed, milled, and placed in a single visit — no temporaries, no weeks of waiting.
The Wand — painless injections
When numbing is needed, our computer-assisted STA Wand (by Milestone Scientific) delivers anesthetic slowly and precisely — most patients feel little more than gentle pressure, and often only the treated tooth goes numb.
Digital X-rays & 3D scanning
Low-dose digital X-rays, and Primescan 3D scans instead of goopy impression trays — the scans behind our same-day crowns and 3D-printed nightguards.

Healthy mouth, healthy body
Your oral health is connected to your heart, your sleep, and your long-term wellness. Our doctors have trained with leaders in oral-systemic health to bring that bigger picture into everyday dental care. It’s a big part of what makes this practice different.
