Dr. Ryan Pacheco

Dr. Ryan Pacheo, DDS, received his dental education from the Arthur A. Dugoni University of the Pacific School of Dentistry. He is committed to practicing the most current, evidence-based dentistry and continues his advanced training through the gIDE Institute to ensure his patients receive the highest standard of care.

With over seven years of clinical experience, Dr. Pacheo is passionate about changing patients’ perceptions of dentistry by helping break down dental phobias through education, trust, and compassionate care. He values building genuine relationships with his patients, treating them like friends, and caring for families as they grow over time.

Dr. Pacheo is a member of the California Dental Association (CDA), the Southern California County Dental Society (SCCDS), and the American Dental Association (ADA). His practice reflects a modern “new-age mom-and-pop” philosophy, where patients are welcomed like family and cared for as whole individuals—not just their smiles.

Originally from California’s Central Valley, Dr. Pacheo now lives in the Tri-Valley/East Bay area. Outside the office, he enjoys spending time on the coast or in the mountains, as well as pursuing his interests in cars, cooking, and baking, and cheering on the San Francisco Giants. He believes strongly in the connection between oral health and overall wellness, and finds fulfillment in helping patients improve both their smiles and their long-term health.

I highly recommend Live and Smile Dental! My family has been coming here for over a decade and the experience is consistently professional, personable, and polished. Briana and Courtney offer exceptional customer service, even when I have to change appointments multiple times. The hygienists and dentists have all been fantastic, including helping our children (now 5 and 8 years old) get comfortable with the dental experience.
