Jerrold Hennes, DDS, MSD
My pursuit to create beautiful, confidence-building smiles started as a young man growing up in Southern California when I became very interested in the field of orthodontics in high school. I started working in orthodontic laboratories, creating dental models, retainers, and expanders for orthodontists. I continued this for five summers while attending undergraduate school at Chapman College in Orange, California. I graduated magna cum laude with a dual degree in chemistry and biology. I then attended the UCLA School of Dentistry. After completing the program at UCLA, I was able to pursue my passion of becoming an orthodontic specialist. I completed my specialty training at the University of Washington. Seattle was a wonderful city but I longed to move back to sunny Southern California.
In 1988, I started my first orthodontic practice in Carlsbad, California, which I later moved to Vista, California. Five years later, my second office to serve the Poway area opened. I obtained board certification and became a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics in 1998, a distinction only held by 25% of the orthodontists nationally. Almost 30 years later, I continue to have a wonderful experience with my patients and team every day.

When I am not practicing orthodontics, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two girls. On the weekends, you can usually find me riding my bicycle on the coast highway or on the horse trails of North San Diego County. I also enjoy playing tennis and swimming.
