Meet Dr. Trisha Vo
Special Care Dentist in Fountain Valley, CA
Dr. Trisha Vo completed her Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Biology at the University of the Pacific in Stockton, CA. She then received her Doctorate of Dental Surgery (D.D.S.) from the University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco, CA. While in dental school, Dr. Trisha was selected for a dental oncology and hospital dentistry externship at Stanford Hospital for medically complex and special care patients. After graduation, Dr. Trisha went on to complete a General Practice Residency with emphasis on special care dentistry at Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center in Downey, CA.
Her education and experiences fueled her passion for addressing the lack of dental providers available for special needs patients after they age out of traditional pediatric dental practices.
Dr. Trisha has dedicated her career to caring for the dentally underserved. Since 2020, she has provided comprehensive dental care to geriatric and dementia patients in assisted living and memory care centers, as well as PACE (Program for All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) centers throughout Orange, Los Angeles, San Diego, and Riverside counties. She also worked for a non-profit organization (Healthy Smiles for Kids of Orange County) in mobile settings, specializing in treating children, teenagers, and adults with complex medical, developmental and cognitive disabilities. Dr. Trisha’s love for special care dentistry and desire to make excellent dental care more accessible to patients propelled her to establish Elements Dentistry.
Dr. Trisha considers herself a lifelong learner. She is a graduate of the Kois Center in Seattle, WA. She continues to improve her skills by pursuing postgraduate training from the California Implant Institute in San Diego, CA.
Dr. Trisha’s hobbies include Pilates, cycling, and photographing/painting nature and community events. (If you see her at the Orange County Special Olympics with her camera, say hi!) She also loves to catch concerts, musicals, and ballets with Dr. Tiffany at the Segerstrom Center of the Arts.
