The People Who Care
for Oakland’s Smiles

Our team delivers reliable, forward-thinking care rooted in community and trust.

In 2004, Dr. Hai Huang founded Lake Merritt Dental with a simple goal in mind—offering high-quality dental care that reflects the needs and values of the Oakland community. Today, she leads a carefully selected team that shares the same values and commitment.

Every member of our team brings excellent clinical expertise, clear communication, and a prevention-first mindset. Because we believe that great dentistry is both human and high-tech, you’ll always be treated with honesty, respect, and the smartest tools available, whether you’re here for a routine checkup or a more complex treatment.
