Jorge Rocha, DDS
Dr. Jorge Rocha is the owner and lead dentist at BioDent Smile in San Diego, carrying forward a practice with a long tradition of excellence in holistic and biological dentistry. Originally founded by Dr. David C. Kennedy, a pioneer in holistic dentistry, and later led by Dr. Byung Sun Yoo, the practice has been a cornerstone of biocompatible, mercury-free, and whole-body dental care in San Diego for decades.
A graduate of De La Salle University, Dr. Rocha pursued his passion for advanced surgical and restorative dentistry immediately after graduation. He completed the GDIA Implant Fellowship, the Loma Linda Implant Maxicourse, training in soft tissue management, and continues his education as a Kois Center student. His focus on surgery, biomimetic techniques, and biologically safe dentistry allows him to provide patients with care that is both cutting-edge and minimally invasive.
As a certified Biologic Dentist, Dr. Rocha is accredited by both the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT) and the International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine (IABDM) for safe mercury amalgam removal, holding certifications in the SMART and Protect Protocols. He is also a member of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID), the ADA® and the CDA.
Dr. Rocha’s philosophy is rooted in the belief that dentistry is about more than just fixing teeth — it’s about restoring confidence, health, and balance to people’s lives. He strives to ensure every patient feels heard, cared for, and leaves BioDent Smile feeling renewed and satisfied. From repairing a chipped tooth to transforming a smile with implants, he finds joy in the emotional impact his work creates.
Outside the office, Dr. Rocha is a dedicated family man who enjoys spending time with his wife (also a dentist) and their children. He has a passion for cooking, golf, and triathlon training — with the goal of completing his first Ironman. His personal mission is to continue growing BioDent Smile into a place where modern dentistry, holistic health, and boutique-level care come together to transform smiles and lives.
