About James S. Ho, DMD

Dr. James Ho earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine (D.M.D.) and Master of Public Health (M.P.H.) from Harvard University. He attended University of California, Santa Cruz for his undergraduate degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, with a minor in Computer and Information Sciences. A member of the American Dental Association (A.D.A.) and California Dental Association (C.D.A.) and American Association for Functional Orthodontics (A.A.F.O.), Dr. Ho devotes 100% of his time in patient care using the most up-to-date, safe and proven treatment modality that Dr. Ho is uniquely qualified to share with his patients. In a typical clinical setting, Dr. Ho explains in detail all possible alternate treatment procedures, and obtains consensus on the best treatment plan based on the patient’s need and resources. Many patients complement on Dr. Ho’s repertoire of dental skills that offer them “one-stop” dental care for all their oral health needs. Dr. James Ho may not be your ultra specialist who promises a better face after he dissembles your entire skull and put it back together from pieces, but with a well-rounded, medical-dental education from Harvard, he immerses himself with such proven high-tech innovations as digital X-ray, hard- and soft-tissue laser, and CAD-CAM (CEREC) dentistry. He gains rapport and trust from his patients by successfully reviving what several specialists and general dentists deem “hopeless” situations. To be sure, there is no magic wand that Dr. Ho can wave to make those “miracles” possible. Instead, he is able to employ all his skills and disciplines to evaluate and solve problems for each challenging situation. The result is that every patient of his benefits from the amalgamation of technology and 14 years of full-time clinical experience. Dr. Ho is especially fond of the fields of Functional Jaw Orthopedics and Orthodontics. He provides bone regeneration therapy in addition to scaling and root planing to rejuvenate dental and periodontal health, and he is able to provide root canal treatment, post and core, and crown restoration in one single appointment! Dr. Ho uses cutting edge techniques to perfect your smiles. One of his specialties is Dental Implant. To learn more about Dental Implant, please visit www.diipa.com. Dr. Ho’s bedside manner has an impeccable record: he is a winner of Best Service Award in the Dentist Category for two consecutive years. Dr. Ho is fluent in English, Mandarin and Cantonese.
