Your oral health is critically important to your overall health. In the past few years, studies have shown a direct correlation between a healthy mouth and one’s overall physical health.

We are committed to providing you the very best possible patient experience through exceptional care and planning.

My approach to your care focuses on the whole person. Good oral systemic care and an attractive aesthetic will result in a bright, beautiful expression of who you are.

I am a 1995 graduate of the University of California, San Francisco School of Dentistry and received my B.A. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from the University of California, Santa Barbara. In 1999, I completed a two-year advanced course in Esthetic and Adhesive Dentistry and served on the faculty as a teaching assistant for four years.

I am passionate about staying informed and educated on the latest advances in dentistry and state-of-the-art procedures. Currently, I’m studying in a two-year mentorship program at the Scottsdale Center for Dentistry, led by some of today’s top dental clinicians. The program encompasses recent advances and proven procedures in the fields of dentistry and patient care and allows me to bring this expertise to my patients.

In addition to staying on top of the latest developments in the dental field, Dr. Perona is an avid gardener, photoprapher and has a dedicated Ashtanga Yoga practice. He also enjoys trips to the beach and games of fetch with his labs, Maddy and Yule.

Dr. Perona's professional memberships include:

• California Dental Association
• American Dental Association
• Academy of General Dentistry
• Academy of Cosmetic and Adhesive Dentistry

I really enjoy my work and strive to keep my patients well informed about their oral health and to make their visit comfortable and stress free.
