Dr. Michael Okumoto is a highly skilled and compassionate general dentist committed to delivering top-tier dental care with a personal touch. He earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the UCLA School of Dentistry, one of the nation’s leading dental institutions. Originally from the Los Angeles area, he developed his passion for dentistry while earning his Bachelor of Science in Human Biology at UC San Diego, where he worked as an assistant business manager at a dental office. This early experience sparked a deep appreciation for the impact of quality dental care on patients’ lives. After completing his dental training, Dr. Okumoto moved to the Bay Area, where he has gained extensive experience in both general and specialty dental practices. His comprehensive skill set allows him to provide a wide range of treatments tailored to each patient’s unique needs. He is an active member of several prestigious dental organizations, including the Southern Alameda County Dental Society, the California Dental Association, the American Dental Association, and the American Academy of Clear Aligners. “My mission is to provide exceptional dental care in a warm and welcoming environment. I believe that open and honest communication is key to helping patients make informed decisions about their oral health, ensuring long-term confidence in their smiles.” Beyond the dental office, Dr. Okumoto enjoys spending quality time with his wife, Yilian, and their children, Ayla and Owen.
