    I treat patients of all ages. I enjoy the opportunity to make a true difference in peoples lives. My practice philosophy is to provide my patients with the highest quality of care in a fun environment.

    Whatever your age, I will help you determine the best course of treatment to meet your dental health, cosmetic, and lifestyle needs. My goal is to provide the best possible treatment, in a reasonable amount of time, that results in the beautiful smile you deserve.

    Orthodontic treatment not only enhances how patients feel about their appearance, but also improves dental health. Straight teeth are easier to keep clean and less prone to plaque and tartar build-up, which in turn can cause a host of dental problems and dental diseases. Straight teeth are healthy teeth, and a clean, healthy smile can be obtained with a variety of treatment options available today.

    Dr. Peter Skuben was born in Czechoslovakia during a time when the Iron Curtain ran across Europe and separated the communist Eastern Bloc from freedom in the West. Dr. Skubens family escaped communist Czechoslovakia when he was ten and eventually resettled in California.

    After finishing high school, Dr. Skuben majored in electrical engineering. While working for Raytheon on the Joint Strike Fighter F35 jet, he developed many high-tech skills that would later become invaluable for deploying the latest dental technology. After a few years, Dr. Skuben quit Raytheon to pursue a new career in dentistry.

    We live in an exciting time for dentistry, in which a lot of new technologies are slowly crossing over from other industries. It is for this reason that I regularly attend both dental and dental lab conventions several times a year to anticipate what is coming around the corner.

    Elizabeth is our Director of Customer Relations and Billing Coordinator. She serves as a liaison between patients, clinical and support team, and the billing department. Her passion comes from a family full of dental techs. She explains that she remembers family dinner conversations were never like any others, and how hers consisted of oral surgery, orthodontic, and general dentistry treatment stories. When she was finally old enough, she was excited for her first summer job in a dental office, and has enjoyed the dental industry since. She has a bachelors degree in business and, upon graduation, she was recognized bythe International Honor Society in Business. We are honored to have Elizabeths talent, knowledge, and sincere passion as an essential component of our teams approach to excellent customer relations.

    Victor has been Dr. Agarwals Orthodontic Registered Dental Assistant for nearly a decade. As the doctors right-hand man, Victor is very detail-oriented, time-efficient, and an essential part of our team. He is also fluent in Spanish to help translate for those in need.

    Hope is our wonderful Registered Dental Hygienist from Texas! As a professional, her objective is to serve people and to promote the health and wellness of her patients through dental hygiene. Hopes core belief as a hygienist is:If the patients do not understand what is causing the problem, then how can they determine how to stop it? The average person has not been educated to understand their own mouth; only told what to buy, dont eat sugar, and that they need to floss. Patients find themselves confused about what products to use and feel guilty after being scolded in the dental chair. The problem hasnt gotten any better, so lets change it and actually let our patients know what is really going on in their mouth. She takes great pride in her gentle patient care and creating a relationship with each of her patients. Her beautiful smile and empathetic nature make it easy for patients to feel comfortable and at easebuilding confidence, trust, and friendship. She can be flexible with her patients by being available for earlier and later hours to help them with the busy-ness of life.

    As a team, we feel that our time here at Newport Mesa and Family Dentistry truly gives us a purpose and allows us to see improvement in the lives and smiles of our patients. We are pleased to welcome you and your family, and we look forward to working with you!
