Earl L. Whetstone II, DDS is a Palo Alto-based dental practice that offers a full range of general, preventative and cosmetic dentistry services to patients of all ages. Additionally, Dr. Whetstone treats periodontal disease and performs tooth restorations and dental implant procedures. He’s also a member of the Mid-Peninsula Dental Society Peer Review Committee, which establishes the standards for ethics and professionalism in dental practices.

Dr. Whetstone’s interest in dentistry started when he was 10 years old. Watching his orthodontist work inspired him to attend the UCLA School of Dentistry, where he found an affinity for the cosmetic side of dentistry. “I had a passion for helping people and liked working with kids and adults,” he explains. “It’s rewarding to change lives by helping my patients feel more confident about their smiles.”

Dr. Whetstone accredits his high patient satisfaction rating to his and his staff’s commitment to service. “We want all our patients to feel special,” he emphasizes. “We keep our service consistently high to make sure all their needs are met.” To that end, the practice’s staff members greet patients as they arrive, free drinks are available in the waiting room, and patients get in to see the dentist quickly.

Company Philosophy

“Patient care is our top priority. We meet the needs of our patients and strive to make lasting impressions on them by providing life-changing dental results. We believe our patients should feel confident about themselves and their smiles, and their teeth should be beautiful as well as healthy.”
