Dr. Diercks has been a provider of Invisalign since 2000, and was among the first dentists in California to be trained and certified in PIPS (Photon Induced Photoacoustic Streaming), a revolutionary method of performing root canals that improves the outcome of treatment.

He has completed several courses and workshops on the placement and restoration of dental implants. When not at work, Dr. Diercks enjoys just about anything outdoors. Wakeboarding, snow skiing, and scuba diving are his favorites, but he can also be found on the golf course from time to time looking for his lost ball. He is a motorcycle enthusiast and tries to spend as much time as possible on the bike when the weather is nice. He is married with a son, a daughter, two dogs and a cat.
