Our Doc

Dr. Pallos has been serving the community of Laguna Niguel since 1984. It is not unusual for patients to travel several hours, even fly from other states, for his personalized, high-quality dentistry. Throughout his career, he has continued to study, learn, and incorporate the newest techniques in modern and biological dentistry.

Dr. Pallos has never stopped pursuing academic and professional excellence. He treats each patient with his full attention and determines treatment based on individual needs. He decided years ago to forego allowing insurance companies to dictate a patient's needs and treatment. He values excellence and will not compromise his standard of care.

Dr. Pallos was born in Budapest, Hungary, and came to the United States at the age of twelve. During his schooling, he skipped four grades and graduated high school, with honors, at the age of sixteen. He is a devoted husband, father, and grandfather.
