Get to know Dentist Dr. Claire Cho, who serves patients in Aliso Viejo, California.

Dr. Cho is a skilled dentist in Aliso Viejo, California committed to providing comprehensive dental care to give her patients beautiful, healthy smiles.

Combining the science of dentistry with an artistic eye, she has transformed the smiles and lives of each patient who has been treated by her hands. Meticulous attention to detail in even the simplest procedures ensures that every treatment combines the best of dental science well as the most aesthetically pleasing result. Her patients enjoy a wealth of knowledge and a passion to provide the best in a doctor who truly loves her profession. Those who have experienced it will attest – it is truly one of a kind. 

Academically, Dr. Cho graduated top of her class from the University of Southern California School of Dentistry in 1989. She then completed her residency through Nobel Biocare and attends study groups with her peers that keep her up to date in the latest implantology techniques. 

In 2007, a series of courses on soft tissue grafting certified Dr. Cho to perform oral plastic surgery and has allowed her to help many patients with exposed roots and defects in gum tissue regain comfort and confidence in their smile. Several neuromuscular occlusion courses from Las Vegas Institute have given her the tools to help patients with neuromuscular problems. 

A 2009 course taken in Spain on bone and tissue regeneration enables Dr. Cho to improve implant integration, reduce healing time, and improve bone regeneration in oral surgery procedures by deriving platelet rich growth factors from the patient’s own blood.

Throughout the years, Dr. Cho has attended a wide spectrum of programs, becoming one of a select few doctors able to provide the quality of care that surpasses the gold standard. She completed her surgical and prosthetic programs at the Misch Implant Institute.

Remaining at the forefront of the dental profession, Dr. Cho is one of few dentists in Orange County who offers LANAP (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure), which is the first and only FDA approved laser gum disease treatment that is a “no-cut, no-sew” alternative to the traditional painful, scalpel and suture, gum surgery. She has been using this procedure to treat her patients with periodontal disease since being certified in 2008.

Dentistry is a branch of medicine that consists of the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the teeth, gums, mouth and jaw. Dentists diagnose and treat dental issues and help patients develop better oral hygiene regimens. They correct bite issues, perform surgeries, address tooth decay, design esthetically beautiful smiles and perform other duties to ensure that the mouth is healthy. 

In her efforts to provide the best available care to her patients, Dr. Cho travels near and far to attend numerous continuing education courses each year. She is passionate about gaining new knowledge and applying the most advanced techniques and procedures to her practice. 

Her recent accolades include a nomination for Best of LA Cosmetic Dentist and Top Doc of Orange County by Orange Coast magazine, and being awarded fellow status by the International Congress of Oral Implantologists.
