Meet Our Team

Michael Alano, DDS

Dr. Michael Alano attended Loma Linda University for his undergraduate degree before continuing on to the New York University College of Dentistry for his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. He has been practicing dentistry for over twenty years and opened our Chino Hills, CA dental office, Smiling Hills Dental, in 2016.

“I love seeing patients who were previously fearful about dental care actually smiling when they leave my office because it was not as scary as they thought it would be. I love seeing patients recover the smile they lost due to poor dental health. I feel so rewarded when I can save a tooth that everyone else (including other dentists) has given up on. I feel strongly about trying to keep your teeth in your mouth if at all possible.” - Dr. Michael Alano

Dr. Alano is an active member of:

  • American Dental Association

  • California Dental Association

  • Tri-County Dental Society

  • American Academy of Sleep Medicine

He seeks hundreds of hours of continuing education so that he can stay on top of the latest developments in dentistry.

Truly a family man, Dr. Alano has been married for over twenty-five years and has two adult children – a son and a daughter! When he is at home, you can find him cooking, playing the piano, or shooting hoops!
