Dr. Chrishell Yates


Dr. Chrishell Yates started working as an orthodontic assistant while attending UC Davis for undergrad. She loved how rewarding it was to transform a patient’s smile and increase their confidence and decided to become an orthodontist herself. Dr. Yates pursued her dental school education at the University of the Pacific followed by residency at the University of Colorado.

Dr. Yates, her husband, and two young daughters recently moved back to California after 6 years in San Antonio, TX. They are so excited to be closer to friends and family and all of the wonderful adventures that the area has to offer!
