About
Patrick L. Huston, DDS, MSD
“As a professional practitioner for nearly 25 years, I have had the opportunity to see and treat nearly every imaginable dental condition. Throughout those years, I have either taken courses on or taught, nearly every discipline in our profession. As a previous lab technician, my passion was dentures; as a general dentist, my passion was cosmetics and esthetics; as an educator, my passion was developing the skills to provide innovative and minimally invasive solutions to periodontal plastic and regenerative surgery as well as comprehensive implant rehabilitation. As an experienced specialist, my passion today is providing my patients with unsurpassed compassion, diagnostics, guidance, and predictable therapeutic solutions for their complex dental conditions.”

Philosophy
As a practicing dental surgeon and periodontist, Dr. Huston provides each patient with the utmost respect and individualized consideration. He shirks away from “cookie-cutter” treatments and follows a comprehensive and considered approach to periodontal treatment and implant dentistry. He crafts each treatment plan according to his patient’s unique goals, expectations, lifestyle considerations, and dental anatomy.
Dr. Huston is also adamantly opposed to what he terms the “hit-and-run” style of dentistry, i.e., when the patients are abandoned after the treatment with no continued contact with the dentist. Instead, he forges lasting relationships with his patients with continued follow-up care and management, ensuring their dental implants and treatments provide optimal results for a lifetime.
Personal Life
Dr. Patrick Huston has been married for over 20 years to his college sweetheart and best friend. He and his wife have three children — Ashely is at UCI Law School, Kyler is a senior, and Ellise is at UC Santa Barbara. When he’s not helping patients transform their smiles, he can be found mountain biking, golfing, or spending time with his family.
