Our Team
Dr. Kari Ann Hong, DDS
Dr. Kari Ann Hong grew up in Thousand Oaks and graduated from Westlake High School in 1996, as a valedictorian. As a child she had many fond memories of playing in her father's office with plaster and attending the California dental associations annual conventions. While an undergraduate freshman at UCLA, she volunteered in a dental research laboratory and decided she wanted to apply to dental school. In 2003, Dr. Hong received her doctorate in dental surgery from the UCLA School of Dentistry.
Dr. Kari Ann Hong considers herself a life long learner and is always looking for new opportunities to gain knowledge of new materials and techniques. For example, Dr. Hong has advanced training from a yearlong residency course in Cosmetic Dentistry from Esthetic Professionals in Tarzana, California. In addition, she has completed nearly 200 hours of training in TMJ and occlusal therapies from The Pankey Institute in Key Biscayne, Florida. She is a member of the American Dental Association, the California Dental Association, the Santa Barbara-Ventura County Dental Society, and the Spears Study Club.
In recent years, Dr. Hong has directed her continuing education focus on a preventative medicine approach to dentistry. Dr. Hong completed the BaleDoneen Method Preceptorship in 2019 to prevent and reverse heart disease. Most recently, in 2023, Dr. Hong and her entire team became Recode 2.0 Dental Certified, which allows them to be able to assist patients with the dental root causes that contribute to cognitive decline.
In 2011, Dr. Hong's father retired from doing clinical dentistry and Dr. Kari Ann Hong took over the management and patient care at Thousand Oaks Family Dentistry. We at Thousand Oaks Family Dentistry are committed to providing excellent care for our patients.
On a personal note, Dr. Hong enjoys spending time with her husband and five kids. She and her family enjoy an active lifestyle of water skiing, snow skiing, boating, hiking, and overall adventure seeking.
