Our Expert Care Team

At the Koppel Special Care Dentistry Center, your care is provided by a highly trained team of dentists, specialists, and dental hygienists who are faculty members at Loma Linda University School of Dentistry. This means you receive care from experienced professionals who are actively involved in teaching and advancing the field of dentistry.

Our providers are skilled in the latest techniques in special care dentistry and are committed to delivering safe, effective treatment for patients with unique needs. Many of our faculty members also participate in research and clinical innovation, helping to improve care for patients with special health care needs.

Because our team represents a full range of dental specialties, we are able to provide comprehensive dental services in one location. This collaborative approach allows us to treat complex cases efficiently—often in a single visit under general anesthesia.

Our faculty are dedicated to excellence, providing high-quality, patient-centered care with compassion, respect, and attention to each individual’s needs.
