Rivi Endo

TYLER DAVIS, DMD, MS

ROOTED IN SAN CLEMENTE, SPECIALIZED IN SAVING TEETH
For Tyler Davis, DMD, MS, being an endodontist is about more than treating teeth—it’s about relieving pain, treating infection and helping patients save their natural teeth.

A fourth-generation dentist and founder of Rivi Endo, Dr. Davis has dedicated his practice to one specialty: endodontics, the diagnosis and treatment of problems inside the tooth.

“I love being able to serve the community where we live,” says Dr. Davis. “Whether someone is in pain, has suffered a dental injury or needs a root canal, our goal is to help them feel comfortable, get them out of pain and save their tooth whenever possible.”

WHY A SPECIALIST?
While general dentists provide a broad range of dental care, endodontists complete additional specialty training focused specifically on diagnosing tooth pain, treating infection and performing root canal therapy.

That specialization matters. Dr. Davis combines extensive experience with technology designed specifically for endodontic care, including 3D Cone Beam CT imaging, a high-magnification Zeiss operating microscope and ultrasonics. Together, these tools allow him to visualize complex anatomy, identify the source of pain and treat areas inside a tooth that can be difficult to see.

Dr. Davis has also published peer-reviewed research on cone-beam technology in the Journal of Endodontics.

SAVING TEETH WHEN IT MATTERS MOST
Dr. Davis has served San Clemente and surrounding communities since 2021, helping local patients with severe toothaches, dental infections, root canals and traumatic dental injuries.

In an active coastal community where sports, surfing and e-bikes are part of everyday life, dental injuries happen. Prompt specialist care can help save an injured tooth.

COMMUNITY AND CONNECTION
For Dr. Davis, practicing in San Clemente is personal. He enjoys caring for local families in the community where his children are growing up. He takes time to listen, ease concerns and help patients feel comfortable. Fluent in Spanish, he connects with a broader range of patients. Rivi Endo brings together his passion for endodontics and commitment to the community.

Rejuven8

GREG A. BROWN, MD
FEEL GOOD. LOOK GREAT. LIVE WELL.

At Rejuven8 in Dana Point, wellness is personal. The team has created a space where clients can care for how they look, how they feel, and how they function at every stage of life. Bringing together medical expertise, modern aesthetics, and a passion for regenerative wellness, Rejuven8 offers care shaped around each person’s goals.

Medical Director Greg A. Brown, MD, brings more than 44 years of medical experience to the practice. An internist in San Clemente, he began working in aesthetics in 2002 with laser hair removal and later trained in Botox with Dr. Jean Carruthers, a pioneer in its cosmetic use. He is joined by Dr. Alexander Aponte-Davila, a naturopathic physician and Dana Point resident. Together, they bring complementary perspectives to personalized care.

For founder Phil Brown, Rejuven8 grew from a belief that people deserve a more complete approach to their health. “After years of working in the medical industry, I noticed that preventive care wasn’t always given the attention it deserved. I wanted to create a place that cares for the whole person, inside and out.”

That philosophy carries through the services at Rejuven8. Clients can explore aesthetic treatments such as customized facials, RF microneedling, IPL photofacials, dermaplaning, AquaFacials, Botox, and fillers. The practice also offers hormone health services, IV therapy, and peptide protocols, alongside body and skin treatments including NOUVADerm, laser hair reduction, AquaFirme scalp and skin treatments, and body contouring. Every plan begins with a conversation about the client’s needs and goals.

CELEBRATE ONE YEAR OF REJUVEN8
Rejuven8 invites the community to its first anniversary celebration on Friday, October 9, from 3–7 p.m. Join the team for raffles, educational discussions, and anniversary service specials.

Peak Recovery

R. TYLER JOHNSON, DC, CCSP

Healing • Performance • Longevity
For nearly two decades, R. Tyler Johnson, DC, CCSP, has helped athletes, active adults and families in San Clemente recover from injuries, move better and stay active. Today, that mission has expanded into something bigger.

At PEAK Recovery, the focus is built around three connected goals: Healing, Performance and Longevity — helping people recover more effectively, function at a higher level and stay active for years to come.

PEAK brings together advanced technologies that support the body’s natural ability to heal and recover.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) increases oxygen availability in a pressurized environment, helping support tissue repair, circulation, recovery and cellular function. It is used by athletes and active adults, but also by people simply looking to support healing, brain health and overall wellness.

Whole-Body Red Light Therapy uses multiple wavelengths of red and nearinfrared light to support mitochondrial function and cellular energy. PEAK’s highpowered full-body system is designed to deliver a therapeutic dose across the entire body, supporting recovery, circulation, helping relieve muscle soreness, skin health and resilience.

For persistent tendon, muscle and soft-tissue problems, Shockwave Therapy uses acoustic energy to stimulate a healing response. PEAK offers both focused and radial shockwave technologies, commonly used for conditions such as plantar fasciitis, tennis or pickleball elbow, shoulder pain and chronic tendinopathies.

High-Power PEMF uses pulsed electromagnetic fields to stimulate tissues and support cellular activity, circulation, mobility and recovery, providing another powerful tool for areas that need deeper, targeted support.

Sports chiropractic remains an important part of PEAK’s foundation, while additional therapies including hot/cold contrast, lymphatic compression, molecular hydrogen and vibroacoustic therapy allow care to be tailored to each individual.

Whether the goal is recovering from an injury, performing better, staying active or simply aging well, PEAK Recovery is designed to give the body better resources to heal better, perform better and live longer.

Hawkley Orthodontics

PEHRSON HAWKLEY, DDS

CREATING HEALTHY SMILES WITH PRECISION, EXPERIENCE AND A PERSONAL TOUCH
A beautiful smile can build confidence that lasts a lifetime. At Hawkley Orthodontics, board-certified orthodontist Dr. Pehrson Hawkley combines advanced training, modern technology and a personalized approach to create healthy, confident smiles for children, teens and adults.

A FOUNDATION OF EXCELLENCE
Dr. Hawkley earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry of USC, where he was elected to Omicron Kappa Upsilon, the national dental honor society. Upon graduation, he was also recognized by the American College of Dentists for his potential for future contributions and service to the
profession.

Following dental school, Dr. Hawkley began his career with the U.S. Air Force, completing advanced education in general dentistry before serving as a general dentist. He later returned to USC for three years of specialty training in orthodontics, then served as an Air Force orthodontist before establishing Hawkley Orthodontics.

CARE DESIGNED AROUND THE PATIENT
For Dr. Hawkley, successful orthodontic treatment begins with understanding the individual behind the smile. Each treatment plan is customized around the patient’s needs, lifestyle and goals, whether it’s a child beginning orthodontic care, a teenager getting braces or an adult pursuing the smile they’ve always wanted.

The practice offers Invisalign clear aligners, traditional and ceramic braces and contemporary orthodontic technology. For patients with complex jaw alignment concerns, Dr. Hawkley also works with oral and maxillofacial surgeons when surgical treatment is appropriate.

MORE THAN STRAIGHT TEETH
Dr. Hawkley believes orthodontics goes beyond aesthetics. Properly aligned teeth and bites can contribute to healthy function, while a smile patients feel good about can have a meaningful impact on confidence. That combination of health, function and self-assurance is at the heart of the Hawkley Orthodontics experience.

Sea Summit Dentistry

Modern Dentistry Built Around You

Designed for Your Schedule
Why is the dentist only open while you’re supposed to be at work? Modern life is busier, more hectic and more stressful than ever, which is why Sea Summit Dentistry provides access to dental care when patients need it. The dental office is open seven days a week, from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. By rethinking how and when dental care is offered, Dr. Jacobs hopes to make a positive impact on patients throughout South Orange County.

Emergency Visits — Even on Weekends
To better serve the San Clemente community, Sea Summit Dentistry accepts emergency appointments until 9 p.m. every night, including weekends. Feedback from patients, friends and neighbors indicates that this has become an invaluable local resource.

Dental emergencies often strike at the worst possible time, which is why Dr. Jacobs and his team will stay as late as necessary to help get patients out of pain. The team often stays until midnight or later to complete emergency root canals and extractions, helping patients return to their daily routines the next morning.

Decades of Award-Winning Dentistry
Dr. Jacobs’ other dental practice, Riverside Center for Esthetic Dentistry, has been his pride and joy for more than 30 years. While Sea Summit Dentistry has only been open since January 2026, Dr. Jacobs brings decades of experience, along with awards and accolades from nationwide organizations.

A graduate of the UCLA School of Dentistry, his commitment to continuing education has helped him remain at the forefront of modern dental technology and techniques. Patients travel from across the United States and other countries to receive his dental care, bringing that same level of expertise close to home for South Orange County residents.
