When Dr. Kenneth Canzoneri started our practice, he had one simple goal in mind: to combine the latest and most state-of-the-art techniques with old-school friendly service. So many offices tend to make you choose between one or the otherthey either lack a personal touch or force you to run all over town with referrals.
Dr. Canzoneri studied at Loyola Marymount University and then went on to earn his doctorate degree from the Northwestern Dental School. He opened his private practice in Arcadia shortly after and has been serving our patients here ever since! Dr. Canzoneri is passionate about dentistry and dedicated to advancing his practice through continuing education. He has studied with the prestigious Hornbrook Group and is also a graduate of Dr. Bob Lees bio-esthetic occlusion program. In addition, Dr. Canzoneri tours the country and lectures on cosmetics and laser dentistry, and he has published several articles in local newspapers.
Currently, Dr. Canzoneri holds membership with the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD), the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD), the Southern California Academy of General Dentistry (SCAGD), and the Academy of Laser Dentistry (ALD). He promotes technological advancement in dentistry through his participation with the World Clinical Laser Institute (WCLI), the worlds largest laser dentistry education organization. In addition, he has completed the Mastership requirements with the WCLI, and he resides on the advisory board and certification committee. To administer oral conscious sedation, Dr. Canzoneri is certified and holds membership with DOCS, the Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation.
