Meet Dr. Chona Lardizabal: Your Partner in Lifelong Oral Health
Hi, I'm Dr. Chona,
"Every patient deserves to understand their choices, My role is to guide them achieve their best health.”
Dr. Chona Lardizabal’s journey into dentistry began with her love for science and art. As a consistent honor student, she excelled academically, particularly in biology and microbiology, earning her degree in BS Microbiology. Her fascination with the intricate workings of the human body paired seamlessly with her artistic eye for detail and beauty.
Dentistry became the perfect blend of her passions—a field where science and art converge to create health and beauty. With 25 years of experience, Dr. Chona has dedicated her career to personalized care, combining her technical expertise in oral health with a focus on aesthetic excellence. Beyond her skills, her genuine interest in people fuels her desire to help others through dentistry. She finds joy in asking thoughtful questions, identifying problems, and guiding patients toward informed decisions that lead to transformative solutions.
After completing her dental education at the prestigious University of the Philippines College of Dentistry, Dr. Chona embarked on a career dedicated to delivering personalized care that prioritizes both oral health and aesthetic excellence.
What truly sets Dr. Chona apart is her collaborative approach. She listens deeply, asking questions to understand your unique needs, fears, and goals. Whether easing a child’s first dental visit or restoring an older adult’s ability to enjoy meals, she believes empathy is the foundation of exceptional care. Patients praise her gentle touch, light-handed technique, and ability to calm dental anxiety—qualities that have solidified her reputation as a Dublin dentist who prioritizes lifelong partnerships in care.
“A smile isn’t just teeth—it’s joy, confidence, and connection. Helping patients reclaim that gift is why I love what I do.”

Our Core Values: More Than a Mission Statement
1. Listen First, Treat Second
We never rush appointments. By understanding your lifestyle, fears, and goals (like dreaming of a wedding-perfect smile), we create plans that fit your life.
2. Earn Trust Through Transparency
Did you know 42% of Americans avoid the dentist due to cost anxiety? We counter this with:
- Upfront pricing
- Flexible payment plans
- Insurance guidance
3. Prevention Over Intervention
Regular cleanings and ADA-backed preventive care can halt issues before they become painful—or expensive.
4. Comfort Is Non-Negotiable
From noise-canceling headphones for anxious patients to ergonomic chairs, we design every detail for your ease.
Expertise for Every Stage of Life
Kids & Teens: Dr. Chona’s playful approach turns dental visits into positive adventures. Renowned for her skill with children, she uses fun demos (like “sugar bug” battles!) to build lifelong healthy habits.
Adults & Seniors: Whether addressing gum disease, crafting natural-looking crowns, or fitting comfortable dentures, her gentle touch and artistic skill ensure solutions that look and feel right.
Cosmetic Dentistry: Dr. Chona’s artistry shines in smile makeovers. Using premium materials and an eye for facial harmony, she designs crowns, veneers, and whitening treatments that enhance your unique beauty.
Giving Back: Smiles Beyond the Clinic
Dr. Chona’s commitment to care extends globally. She volunteers with Give Special Needs Kids a Smile, providing free dental services to children with disabilities, and partners with local schools to offer oral health workshops. For her, every smile nurtured—inside or outside the practice—is a step toward a kinder world.
