Dr Sharynne Alfonso

Dr. Sharynne is a native San Diegan. As a second-generation dentist, her aspirations to pursue a career related to healthcare and service stem from her dentist mother and Navy veteran father. After earning her degree in Biological Sciences at UC Santa Barbara, she graduated from the University of the Pacific, Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco. She later completed a one-year Advanced Education in General Dentistry program at the UCLA Venice Dental Center, enhancing her scope of practice by collaborating with endodontists, periodontists, oral surgeons, and prosthodontists to complete complex dental procedures. Committed to providing the best possible care for her patients, she strives to stay at the forefront of dental technology and cutting-edge dental techniques. In recent years, she has expanded her clinical skills through continuing education courses in clear aligner therapy (Invisalign), dental implant surgery, and sleep dentistry. Dr. Sharynne takes a gentle approach to providing comprehensive dental care, allowing her patients to feel right at home in the dental chair! By striving to build a partnership with each patient built on mutual trust, respect, and open communication, she spends time getting to know each patient as an individual – learning about their overall health, lifestyle habits, and oral health goals. She deeply values patient education, advocating how oral health plays a vital role to overall body health and wellness. Her ultimate goal is to empower and collaborate with her patients in creating personalized treatment plans to help them achieve the best treatment outcomes and smile with confidence. In her free time she enjoys adventuring with her loved ones, attending hot yoga and spin classes, snowboarding, enjoying live music events, cooking and baking, tending to her many house plants, and playing with her cat Lulu!
