Dr. Helen Hooper

Dentist

Dr. Hooper is dedicated to making your dental visit comfortable.

Dr. Helen Hooper graduated Magna Cum Laude and with honors from UCLA School of Dentistry. While in dental school, she was elected into the prestigious dental honor society, Omicron Kappa Upsilon.  She continued her education by completing a general practice residency at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Long Beach.  Dr. Hooper has practiced both family and cosmetic dentistry since 1997.  Dr. Hooper is a member of the American Dental Association, the California Dental Association, the Western Los Angeles Dental Society, and the Academy of Laser Dentistry. Every year Dr. Hooper commits to learning about new materials, techniques and technologies to keep her knowledge and practice cutting edge.

Dr. Hooper shows great care for all of her patients.  She takes time to educate patients about their dental health and about their treatment needs.  This allows patients to feel confident about the dental care that they receive. Besides Netflix, Hulu or Pandora to entertain you during your appointments, her calm demeanor and gentle approach add to providing a comfortable experience…yes, even at the dental office.  The overall goal is for patients to achieve complete dental health.

Outside of the office, Dr. Hooper spends most of her time with her family.  She loves spending time with her daughter, but Dr. Hooper also enjoys activities like riding bikes along the beach, paddle boarding in the marina, and spending time with her friends.  At home, she likes trying new recipes and seems to always have some home project on the go.  If she ever sits down for a rest, her cats will be found on her lap.
