Meet Dr. Conor Perrin

Dr. Conor Perrin

Dr. Conor Perrin founded his approach at The Tooth Co. around personal attention, digital planning and preserving natural tooth structure where appropriate. At our Irvine practice, he helps patients understand their treatment options for everyday dental care and changes to their smiles.

While completing his undergraduate studies at the University of Southern California, he earned acceptance into USC’s prestigious Dental Hygiene/DDS Pathway Program—an honor reserved for top-performing students. He went on to graduate as valedictorian of his dental class, setting the stage for a career defined by innovation, precision, and patient-first care.

Education and professional interests

While training at USC, Dr. Perrin was drawn to Dr. Pascal Magne’s study of Biomimetic Dentistry, a practice of dentistry centered on minimally invasive techniques using materials that emulate the physical properties of natural dentition. His eventual presidential leadership and involvement in the Biomimetic Restorative Dentistry Study Club, international philanthropy in Nicaragua, Panama, and The Philippines, along with a diverse cosmetic portfolio, earned him the largest merit-based scholarship at the university before graduating.

Dr. Conor Perrin’s academic journey as a double-Trojan instilled a pursuit of clinical excellence, research, and expanded educational opportunities. He actively participates in membership with the Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and Academy of Biomimetic Dentistry. While perfecting his porcelain and bonded veneer techniques at various cosmetic mini-residencies, he was drawn to how a digital dentistry work-flow could vastly improve your experience. The incorporation of scanners, 3D printers, and special imaging units enables a patient to test-drive, and soon-after, receive his or her new smile with accuracy, efficiency, and beauty.

Dr. Perrin studied at the University of Southern California and graduated as valedictorian of his dental class. His professional memberships include the Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and the Academy of Biomimetic Dentistry. His continuing education has included cosmetic mini-residencies focused on porcelain and bonded veneer techniques.

Dr. Perrin is a Graduate of the Kois Center in Seattle — a distinction held by fewer than 1,200 dentists worldwide. The Kois Center is dentistry’s most rigorous postgraduate program: six advanced courses taught personally by Dr. John Kois, covering the science of esthetics, bite function, and restorative dentistry over several weeks. Because the Center is entirely self-funded and accepts no corporate sponsorship, everything taught there is driven by independent research — not by what a manufacturer wants to sell.

For patients, this training changes everything about how care is delivered. Rather than simply treating problems as they appear, Dr. Perrin was trained to diagnose the underlying risks — wear, bite forces, decay patterns, gum health — that determine whether dentistry lasts. It’s the reason a veneer or restoration at The Tooth Co. is designed not just to be beautiful on day one, but to protect your smile for decades.

Dr. Conor Perrin, DDS, holds California dental license #106242. He graduated from the University of Southern California in 2021 and is a Kois Center graduate.

A conservative approach to your care

His vision for your visit at The Tooth Co. brings all this technology together, beginning with your introductory consultation, both for those wishing to change the appearance of their smiles and patients seeking general dentistry. Dr. Perrin has taken meticulous detail in handcrafting a bespoke experience in the comfort of Orange County’s most stylish practice, which he fashioned after an inviting hotel lobby. Consultations begin by carefully listening to and discussing all concerns and expectations, while developing a plan for treatment based upon a thorough head, neck, and oral examination. Dr. Perrin has elected to work with the best labs and ceramists for your restorations, including porcelain veneers. High-end labs like these ensure the greatest levels of visual esthetics, precision, and longevity, which Dr. Perrin will never sacrifice for his patients.

Dr. Perrin makes time to discuss your concerns and explain his recommendations. Treatment takes place in a private suite, with a comfort menu that you can discuss with the team before your visit. Digital scans and photographs help him explain the plan and, for eligible veneer patients, develop a temporary smile preview through The Test Drive.

For examples of how this approach applies to treatment, explore porcelain veneers and crowns, inlays and onlays.
