Bay Area Cosmetic Dentist Dr Stephen Snow DDS
	Dr. Snow spent his childhood in Orinda, California. During his early school days, he developed a passion for music. When he started playing instruments at the age of 5, you might have never guessed that music would play such a large part of his life. His love of music eventually developed into a 15 year career as a professional musician.  It was during the first year of high school that he decided he wanted to become a dentist. He was inspired by his dentist who exemplified the precision, artistry and attention to detail that dentistry demands. To this day-Dr. Snow still loves this profession and finds it both challenging and rewarding! He graduated from Miramonte High School in 1973 as valedictorian for the class.  When deciding which college to attend, his parents had some suggestions as to where they thought he should go. But as a teenager, of course, his opinion was completely different! They did a "brilliant" thing. They bought season tickets to Cal football games. Dr. Snow had the opportunity to watch mediocre football, but a GREAT marching band at an extraordinary university. If you ask him, he'll admit that his love for musical performance enticed him in his decision to attend Cal, but, in hind sight, it was a good academic decision as well.  The University of California, Berkeley, provided him with a very strong science background (ranked as one of the most difficult programs available). Bay Area Cosmetic Dentist Dr Stephen Snow DDS graduated from the University of California in 1977 with a BA in Biology. His undergraduate education provided an impeccable knowledge base and credentials. When he applied for dental school, he was fortunate enough to be admitted to every dental school to which he applied. He chose UCLA for its academic reputation and California location. Dr. Snow received his DDS Degree from UCLA in 1981, graduating top of his class.  Today Dr. Snow lives with his wife and 2 daughters in San Ramon, CA. He still enjoys music as well as golf, photography, wood working and computer programming.
