“Do what you love and you never work a day in your life.”   Chinese proverb.

Dr. Roger M. Yamashiro loves and enjoys his work so much, he feels he has never worked a day in his life.  He relishes and appreciates it when his patients say to him: “That was the best dental appointment I’ve ever had.  It was painless and comfortable.”  This is what he strives for in every procedure he performs.  He wants every patient to feel well cared for from the time they call the office for the first time until their treatment is complete and they remain on schedule for regular maintenance appointments.

Dr. Yamashiro is native to the South Bay area.  Having grown up in Gardena, he has watched the South Bay area progress to what it is today.  Because of this, he wanted to cultivate his Dental Practice in the area.  He is a graduate of the University of Southern California where he received his degrees of Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences and his Doctorate in Dental Surgery.

Dr. Yamashiro has also been inducted into several Honor Dental Societies in his 34 years of practice.Most prestigious is his Fellowship in the American College of Dentists.  This honor is given to only the top 3% of dentists in the nation.  He is also a Fellow in the Academy of Dentists International and Pierre Fauchard Academy.  Other memberships include: American Dental Association, California Dental Association, Harbor Dental Society, and the Academy for Excellence in Dentistry (Past President) to name a few.  Striving to be the best dentist that he can be, Dr. Yamashiro continues to participate in over 35 hours of continuing education a year
