"Growing up in Carlsbad, I was born with the love of the ocean in my blood. I surf at every opportunity that I get and the beach always feels like home. When I'm not on the sand or in the water, I enjoy painting waves and seascapes. I've had less time recently as my wife and I just had a baby girl, our first. She is very smiley and our dog can't wait until she is old enough to throw a ball!"

Life Outside the Office

Get to know Dr. Willes beyond dentistry - his family, hobbies, and connection to the Laguna Beach community

Family First

Dr. Willes first met his wife Rebecca while they were in preschool! Although they didn't become friends until high school, they eventually married in 2017.

Their family includes their collie, Delilah, and their new baby girl, Amelia. Teagan and Rebecca enjoy camping, hiking, and spending time at the beach together.

Dr. Willes believes that his strong family values translate into his dental practice, where he treats each patient with the same care and attention he would give to his own family members.

A Balanced Life

Dr. Willes understands the importance of work-life balance. When he's not at the office providing exceptional dental care, he's creating memories with his family.

From beach days to hiking adventures, the Willes family embraces the active Southern California lifestyle. These experiences help Dr. Willes maintain the energy and positive outlook that his patients appreciate.
