Dr. Peralta gained his passion of dentistry at a young age while assisting his mother (Dr. Lilia Larin) at South Coast Dental. His career choice was a very simple one, enrolling into the dental program at La Salle University.
As a dental practitioner, Dr. Peralta believes in preserving as much natural tooth structure possible. This minimally invasive approach ensures long-term success with highly esthetic result and minimal post-operative discomfort. His metal- free approach to restorative dentistry employs the use of materials that most resemble our natural tooth structure. Dr. Peralta is also a certified Invisalign provider, which allows him to correct the patient's bite into a more aesthetic and functional position using transparent trays. This method eliminates the use of metal brackets and wires. Employing caries management by risk assessment (CAMBRA) and laser assisted soft tissue management programs, Dr. Peralta presents a personalized course of treatment for each individual depending on their current oral situation. By using these systems, caries can be prevented up to 74% of the time, while preventing irreversible bone and tooth damage. In his time away from work, Dr. Peralta enjoys spending time with friends and family, and traveling with his wife.
