More About Dr. Elghor

Dr. Elghor chose to pursue a career in cosmetic dentistry in order to improve her patients’ confidence. “Too many people are self-conscious about their smiles. I made it my mission to help make all my patients’ smiles their best feature, so they never stop smiling.”

Dr. Elghor is very active and in her spare time, she enjoys ocean swimming, hiking with her dog, Peanut, and exploring local farmers markets.

Theresa Ta, DDS

Dr. Ta was born in Des Moines, Iowa but spent most of her life raised in San Jose.  She attended college locally, at San Jose State University and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Molecular Biology, where she then furthered her education and trained at UCLA School of Dentistry. She continues to strive for the best and understands that she is a lifelong learner. She is a proud member of the American Dental Association (ADA) California Dental Association (CDA), American Academy of Facial Esthetics (AAFE) and the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD).

Dr. Ta’s passion has always been cosmetics and fashion and thus pursued her dreams as a cosmetic dentist through the AACD’s residency program. She feels the most fulfilled not only by showcasing her artistry and eye for beauty but by providing her patients a smile they can be truly confident about.

Outside of dentistry, Dr. Ta enjoys traveling but when she’s back home, she loves nothing more than to relax with her two cats, Pepper and Leo.
