Welcome to Dental Design Studio!!

Just a quick summary if you missed my introduction on the home page. I am Dr. Chad Ho. My undergraduate degree is in Biochemistry from Cal State, Long Beach then went on to dental school at University of Southern California. There's a saying in medicine that you'll always be a life long student. And, I have joined many organizations in order to stay up to date on the newest studies and innovations that are happening in dentistry. As the tech industry continues to grow, the dental field is adapting and incorporating that technology into our daily practices. This feeds directly into my background of Biomimetic Dentistry. 

I was fortunate enough to work and learn from the father of biomimetic dentistry where we focused on preserving healthy tooth structure rather than using traditional methods of dentistry, which involve aggressive tooth removal. Our aim was to focus on the removal of ONLY unhealthy and diseased aspects of each tooth in order to preserve the natural esthetics, function and strength that is inherently within each tooth. With minimally invasive techniques, biocompatible materials and advanced technology, we are able to achieve these kinds of results. 

While dentistry was not on my radar until I was in undergrad, I have always been part of volunteering programs. During middle school, I joined a youth group known as Lion’s Heart. At the time, the organization was just starting with a few groups. I held several office positions and received various awards such as the youth presidential award for service hours. Today, the organization has grown tremendously reaching over 30 states and millions of hours of community service. Then in high school I joined Scouts of America and earned my Eagle Rank within two years of joining. After high school, at Cal State Long Beach, I was involved with a program known as Long Beach B.L.A.S.T, where I mentored middle school students towards a path leading to college. Some who would be the first in their family to even consider attending college at the time. Once I started dental school, I attended a variety of volunteering programs and events including USC’s AYUDA and Mobile clinic where we would bring dental equipment to various locations, such as schools, and provide dental care to children and adults from Bakersfield to Mexico. And, Young & Healthy where, I would travel to first grade classrooms each month to discuss how to keep a healthy smile.

Within six months of graduating dental school, I was engaged then married to my high school sweetheart and moved to Las Vegas to be closer to family. Once we were established, we adopted our dog Otis then had our first child.

When there is free time, I like to have a mix of adventurous and nerdy hobbies. From traveling, snowboarding or trying new foods to a movie or game night with friends and family.
