Ronald L. Wright, D.D.S.
I would like to tell you a little about my background and experience to assure you that your patients will receive the best care and attention possible.
For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be an oral surgeon. I was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri and attended dental school in Tennessee. I was very fortunate to be accepted at UCLA where I completed my oral surgery residence in 1995. As you know, UCLA is one of the most prominent medical schools in the country. After graduation, in order to stay true to my constant pursuit of excellence, I became board certified in 1998. I am currently a member, in good standing with every prominent anesthesia and implant organization. I am also on staff at Hoag Presbyterian Hospital where I also served as Chairperson for the Oral Surgery Department from 2002 thru 2004. I started my practice in1995 and I routinely attend lectures and conferences so that I am constantly being introduced and exposed to the most innovative technology in our exciting field.
My vision has always been to have a practice that caters to its patients, works side by side with its referring doctors, and maintains the highest level of ethics and professionalism. I have been meticulous to make sure that my staff understands my objectives and provide a warm and compassionate atmosphere for all for my patients. I have an excellent chairside manner and I treat every patient with the upmost respect. I look forward to meeting you and your family.
Sincerely,
Ronald L. Wright, D.D.S.

At Elegance Dentistry, we believe preventative dental care and maintenance is vital to your dental health. Through regular scheduled exams we check the overall health of your teeth and gums, perform oral cancer screenings, and perform x-rays to detect problems before they worsen. Routine dental cleanings, sealants, and fluoride treatments help prevent cavities and dental disease. We review your medical history to assess your overall health and identify any illnesses that may have an impact on your dental health.
