Greg J. Vigoren, DDS, has had a leading-edge dentistry practice in Newport Beach for more than 40 years. He has lectured nationally and internationally on his innovative approach to the comfort of the patient, long-term elimination of tooth decay and leakage failure, correcting poorly done or failed restorative dentistry from outdated methods, and avoiding catastrophic failures...while promoting great, natural esthetics. His reputation attracts patients from Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.
46 years of clinical practice; 43 years in the same location, the last 31 years as a general restorative dentist in a collaborative multidisciplinary group practice, with full-time in-house laboratory support from multiple internationally recognized ceramists. 38 years of experience using high magnification, and the last 26 years with the surgical microscope.
Long-term participation in airway/sleep, esthetic dentistry, implants, treatment planning, head and neck pain, TMJ treatments, practice management, occlusion, and full-mouth reconstruction/rehabilitation study groups--Over 4,500 hours of continued education.
Faculty positions in restorative dentistry, diagnosis and treatment planning, endodontics, and esthetic dentistry at USC and UCLA. The first one in dentistry is to introduce, transition, and compare digital imaging to film.
Ed Mclaren, Don Cornell, Bob Winter, and Peter Wohrle are among the better-known international lecturers who have practiced with him in his office. Design porcelain by Ivoclar, the Noble Perfect implant, and 3:1 digital projection aspect ratio presentations for dental continuing education meetings were developed in his office.
Dr. Vigoren has maintained a private general practice in Newport Beach, California, for the past 43 years. He is a graduate of the University of Southern California, spending two years in the U.S. Air Force while stationed in Japan and completing four 6-month rotating internships in endodontics, oral surgery, periodontal surgery, and pedodontics.
He is a member of the AAED, PCSP, NHAD, AMED, ADA, CDA, and OCDS. He was a prior CRA dental evaluator for 28 years and is a current or prior consultant for KavoKerr, Air Techniques, Apple, Canon, and ESPE, all major dental manufacturers.
In comparison to the norm, his techniques demonstrate extremely long survival rates and extremely low failure rates all documented with large volumes of data with 90% of all procedures having been photographed over the last 37years. He has multiple major re-constructions done in dental school on family and friends over 45 years ago, without failure.
Dr. Vigoren has held offices and committee leadership positions in many professional organizations. Professional society memberships include the American Dental Association, California Dental Association, Orange County Dental Society, Newport Harbor Academy of Dentistry, Pacific Coast Society for Prosthodontics and American Academy of Esthetic Dentistry.
Dr. Vigoren believes that unnecessary patient discomfort and fear of dentistry is caused by outdated dental methods. The unfortunate result is the cascading failure of dental health among too many adults. He specializes in restorative dentistry with maximum patient comfort.

Dr. Vigoren does amazing work!! He is a 20 on a scale of 1 to10. I had multiple abscesses - all corrected! I have never had the level of dental health that I have now. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Vigoren and his staff. He is knowledgeable, thorough, and so far ahead of the norm. I will continue my care with his office always.

If you have wondered why you continue to have issues with your teeth? You need to see Dr Vigoren, I was visiting California and had an issue and I was amazed about the work my local dentist had done just 2 months before. He is a genius at protecting and repairing teeth. I have already referred several people who have all thanked me. Also, he noticed my airway was compromised and he might have saved my life by getting me on a CPAP. Thanks Team Vigoren!

Everyone at the Vigoren practice is competent, courteous and pleasant to deal with. I am impressed at how they continuously think of things that they need to do beyond just normal dentistry. I have always felt well taken care of. I have been with Dr. Vigoren for 35 years.

Dr Vigoren and the entire staff are amazing ! I've been a patient for years now and I don't even live in the area anymore. But so worthy of my loyalty because of the integrity and skill of Dr Vigoren, his vast knowledge, as well as a phenomenal staff, I plan my appointments around my trips to California and I'm grateful for the care I receive.

I can't say enough wonderful things about this office. I've been coming here for many years everybody here is extremely professional and personable. Dr. Vigoren and Daniel have been so wonderful to me over the years and I'm going to be having some major restorative surgery work done in my mouth in which they will be a part of the process and I couldn't be at more at ease. And the office is just as beautiful as the people who work there. The dental work in painless, precise and affordable. If you're looking for a dental practice that will treat you like family take care of your dental needs with quality and compassion, then look no further.

These folks are great! nice small talk teamed with professionalism. Dr. Vigoren excels at his craft. Two years ago, he removed all my 40 year old fillings with modern, up to date materials and bonding techniques. My blood pressure has actually dropped to a point I no longer take medicine to moderate it. I suppose my body was overstressed fighting off all the bacteria that was entering my bloodstream from the old, worn out dental work from my teens. Dr. Vigoren has made a massive impact on my health and quality of life!
