Yi Luo DDS-Pleasanton Prosthodontist

Dr. Yi Luo earned her DDS from UCLA School of Dentistry in 2016. She completed not just one residency, but two! Her first was an AEGD at UCLA where she found a fondness and inclination for complex dentistry. She pursued her education in Prosthodontics at UCSF and graduated with numerous honors. Dr. Luo picked Prosthodontics as her specialty because it is the heart of dentistry. Prosthodontists strive to understand function and develop a smile that can last because the bite or occlusion is balanced. Dr. Luo feels that Prosthodontics is the ultimate blend of art and science.

When it comes to science, one of Dr. Luo’s many accomplishments is that she has published numerous articles. The most recent of which studies dental implant risk factors. Out of this collaborative study, she and her colleagues developed an online interactive risk assessment that lets people learn about their risk factors for dental implant treatment. Feel free to take the assessment at www.mydentalrisk.com and to ask Dr. Luo about it.

Dr. Luo Joined Pleasanton Prosthodontics in 2020. Dr. Chao and Dr. Luo hit it off immediately when they started talking 3D dentistry. Patients have taken to Dr. Luo also-not only is she good with her hands, She is a technology whiz and kind hearted to boot!

Personally, Dr. Luo grew up in Beijing, China and she studied Stomatology at Peking University. She and her husband are new parents and are enjoying the adventure of raising their son here in Pleasanton. Please come by to meet Dr. Luo if you haven’t already!
