About Dr. Chona
Clinical excellence built around comfort, communication, and trust
Dr. Chona Lardizabal has spent her career proving that exceptional dentistry is equal parts science, health, and artistry. Her patients in Dublin and across the Tri-Valley consistently describe a provider who listens first, educates always, and treats with a steady, skilled hand.
After earning her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of the Philippines College of Dentistry in 1998, she pursued advanced post-graduate training in the United States. She refined her skills in prosthodontics, implant surgery, and cosmetic dentistry at UCLA, the University of the Pacific, and the University of Southern California.
She chose Dublin because of the area's warm, diverse community - and because she wanted to build a practice where every patient, regardless of language or background, feels genuinely welcomed.
