Meet the Doctors

Dr. Peter Abas

After over a decade of practice in Orange County, I am so pleased to be at my own practice in Laguna Hills. I was born in Pennsylvania, but moved to Southern California when I was three (practically a native). I grew up in the Inland Empire and went to Redlands High School. Immediately following high school I started my dental training at UC Berkeley where I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Molecular and Cell Biology. I was blessed to have attended the prestigious University of the Pacific, School of Dentistry where I earned my Doctorate of Dental Surgery (DDS). I wrapped up at the University of Southern California (USC) and earned a certificate in Advanced Education in General Dentistry. While at USC I had the opportunity to treat a variety of complex cases including full mouth rehabilitation, cosmetic cases, extensive dental implant cases, as well as treating special needs patients.

I have treated nearly 5000 patients since starting in private practice in 2006. One of the procedures that I am most proud of is our ability to make a custom, precision fit porcelain crown in about 2 hours. Long gone are the days of temporary crowns, gag inducing impression (mould) materials, or second visits for your crown!

I currently reside in South Orange County with my family. My wife Mary and I were married in 2008 and have 2 children. Hannah is 7 years old and Luke is 3 years old. During my free time I enjoy spending time with my family traveling, trying new restaurants in the area, and we are also annual pass-holders at Disneyland, which is something the children love! Little do they know that I love it just as much as they do!

I look forward to meeting you. I strive to provide excellent quality dentistry in a comfortable and clean environment!
