I’m Dan Roberts and I love what I do. I am a Southern California native. I began USC dental school before completing college, so at 24 years old, I was one of the youngest students to earn a DDS. I practiced as a general dentist for four years before graduating Oregon Health Science University in Periodontics.

Why I became a periodontist: The faculty at USC invited me to take part in an honors periodontal study group, during my senior year. This perked my interest and motivated me to learn more. As a general dentist, I joined the Western Society of Periodontology. My mentor, Gordon Patterson, encouraged me to apply to a postgraduate periodontal program.

I completed OHSU in 1986 but my education is on going. I am dedicated to bringing my patients the latest proven techniques in Dental implants, periodontal procedures, bone grafting, gum grafting, laser techniques, digital 3-D x-ray, and IV sedation. We are continually adding new material, devices, and techniques to benefit our patients.
