Dr. Derek B. Hauser, DDS - Cosmetic dentist, General dentist in Lake Elsinore, CA

Im Dr. Derek Hauser. Id like to welcome you to our family! We call it a family because our practice is more of a family than any practice youve ever visited. My staff and I are only half the equationour loyal patients are the other half.

During these challenging times, we feel it is so important to spend your time, energy, and hard earned money where you feel at home. A place where you know you will be cared for with the utmost skill and comfort. Our goal is, of course, to help you keep your teeth looking good, feeling good, and make them last for years to come.

That is why we are so committed to utilizing the highest technology, the finest materials, the most current techniques, and over 27 years of experience to deliver the finest care available! Once you have an experience in our office, you wont ever want to walk into another dental office again.

I grew up in Southern California with a father who was an extremely skilled auto mechanic, and subsequently, a very successful contractor. From my father, I learned the value of fixing things right the first timewith the right tools. My mother makes porcelain dolls by hand and has won numerous awards. She has been on the cover of several international magazines. I gained my artistic and detail oriented skills from her. They have both been very supportive of my dreams and career goals.

I graduated from USC School of Dentistry in 1993. As the recipient of the coveted Fixed Prosthodontic Award, I was invited to stay on as faculty at the school (which I did for several years). Actually, I was teaching other students even before graduating!

Knowing the value of education, I have always been committed to continuing education in order to stay on the cutting edge in dentistry. My team and I are certified in Laser Dentistry, Invisalign, Implants and have utilized CEREC technology for nearly 10 years! Being 1 of only 20% of the CEREC doctors in the USA who has invested in the latest dental technology for our patients, its important we save them time and money with the latest, most durable material that lasts for years.

Recently, I have been lecturing and teaching other general dentists how to place dental implants in their own practices. I have been expertly placing and restoring my own dental implants since 2006. It didnt take me long to realize that I cant do it alone; therefore, I have assembled what I consider the finest dental office staff in the universe!

There is something special about being able to serve your neighbors, and I love having the opportunity to take care of family and friends in our community! My goal is to provide you the best dental care available because life is meant to be enjoyed. When you are in good health, you can focus on spending time with family, friends, and loved ones doing what you enjoy most!

My parents were both Physical Therapists. After graduating from the Mayo Clinic, they were brave enough to open one of the first private Physical Therapy practices in the Pacific Northwest. Their practice became a huge success because they treated every patient as if they were family. They always explained to me that taking exceptionally good care of other people was the most rewarding thing I could do with my time. I chose to pursue dentistry to have that same opportunity.

You will notice that my team and I take additional time to get to know each one of our patients on a personal level. This allows us to provide a more personalized experience and better care than most of us are accustomed to in a doctors office. This extra time and attention ensures that we are helping you make the best decisions on how to take care of yourself. This is how dentistry is supposed to be!

I graduated from University of the Pacific School of Dentistry as a member of Tau Kappa Omega Honors Society. After Dental School, I completed an Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency through the United States Army. The additional one on one training with many specialists gave me an unmatched opportunity to learn advanced treatment and comprehensive care. While serving our Soldiers at Fort Carson, I had the unique opportunity to provide comprehensive care in a practice with 10 dentists, while teaching and training other Dentists and Dental Assistants to provide advanced specialty care. It taught me the value of having the most educated and skilled team available. My patients deserve it. In private practice I have continued to pursue extensive training, giving my patients the convenience of having most specialty treatment completed in our practice.

We understand that going to the dentist can be very intimidating, and I enjoy making it a great experience for you! Our team has invested in the most advanced technology available to ensure that you can have the best looking, longest lasting dental treatment that is as convenient as possible. Digital and 3D x-rays, Invisalign orthodontic treatment, CEREC porcelain crowns and veneers, Solea Laser treatment, and digitally planned implant tooth replacement are all part of our daily patient care. Dentistry has never been more comfortable or convenient. Having two therapy dogs in the office to keep you comfortable during your visits is also a huge plus!

At Lakefront Family Dentistry, we spend months interviewing and selecting the perfect candidates to fit into our tight-knit family. This means you will experience more than just an accredited staff member who knows and implements the latest technology, it means you also experience a fun, happy atmosphere where everyone gets along well and is excited to meet new and current patients each and every day. We pride ourselves with a brand new facility that has the latest, cutting edge dental technology and a family of staff who enjoys serving you with a smile!

I would give this Dental office 10 stars if I could. It is bar far the best dental office I have ever been to in my 69 years. Dr Hauser, his Staff & comfort Dogs make you feel so at ease you forget you're in a dental office!

Absolutely and by far the best dental office I have been to, and to be honest, I hate going to the dentist. It was the least pain I have felt at a dental office. The people were amazing from the front office to the the back. They listened to my concerns and accommodated every one. I would recommend them to anyone.

I needed to be seen quickly as an only fell out. They got me in to see the dentist that morning and I was in and out extremely fast. I was very thankful to be seen quickly as other dentists would make me wait until next week.

Honestly life changing, from the excellent service of each and every person I came into contact with, to the fine art of creating a denture that fits me. I was given advice that took my medical issues into the equation and given the best plan for my personal situation. Every service I had done, and each technician that worked with me, made me feel as if I was the only person they needed to help. I have worked with many dentists and many places, and I came to believe there is only so much anyone can do to help my smile look real. I had given up hope that I would see my natural smile again, thank you for restoring my faith in excellence.

I called the office at 8:35 am telling them I had a broken tooth and that it was very painful. The ladies here are AWESOME! They told me to come in as soon as I could and when I got there they took me right back took X-rays and we're just so kind! I'm a stay at home mama so I can't be in pain or sick and they understood. I just love this office so much! Thank you!!!

Unfortunately, I do not have the best genetics when it comes to my teeth. The really good news is I saved 15% with Geico. The really GREAT NEWS is I found Dr. Hauser, Patty and the rest of the awesome staff at Lakefront Family Dentistry. They have done it all for me. From fillings to extractions, deep cleanings to root canals, crowns and implants the work has been beyond my expectations. I recommend them highly!

Dr. Hauser and staff are absolutely the best in the industry. I had taken my son to a pediatric dentist that could not calm him down to do anything... brought my son here, he didn't even know when they gave him the numbing shot Bc he's was too busy having the time of his life. Not one tear, all smiles, the whole plan and tools used were thoroughly explained which made him much more at ease and was out within 40 min from sitting in the chair, he had 2 fillings done in less than 5 min. I highly recommend Dr. Hauser, absolutely wonderful experience, Thank you so much!

I have had gray Showing through a crown on my front tooth whole life. And I've had several doctors try to fix it in the last year. Tons of driving back and forth. Tons of crowns made- and nobody could get rid of the gray that was coming through my crown every single time. This doctor knocked it out in two appointments! I've struggled with this gray my whole life and he took it away like it was nothing. THANK YOU Dr. Hauser! I am so happy to have a smile I can be confident about!! Xoxo thank you to the whole staff

So many great things to say about Dr. Hauser and the team! You all are amazing. I feel like family from the moment I walk in. Not only that, the care you give feels like the same care you'd give to a loved family member. Always clear on what to expect, options, and always free of pain or fear. Dentist visits can be stressful of you're not at the right dentist. Hauser and team - you ARE the right team. So thankful for you. :) P.S. Just had a tooth pulled and had zero pain. Easy peasy and feeling great, just like all my other visits. Woot woot!

I destroyed an old crown on a molar while eating, so off I went to see Dr. Hauser. He has a friendly and very competent staff who took me in right away and began the x-rays and other preparations to repair/replace the tooth. Using Dr. Hauser's amazing technology, I was repaired and gone in about three hours. Best dentistry I've seen in my long life.
