Our Story

Where Compassion Meets Expertise

At Hopkin Oral Surgery, we know that oral surgery isn’t something most people look forward to. Whether it’s wisdom teeth removal, dental implants, or treatment for jaw pain, visiting an oral surgeon can feel overwhelming. But it doesn’t have to.

Since our founding in Salt Lake City, Utah, we’ve built a practice that transforms fear into confidence and uncertainty into understanding. Our philosophy is simple: Put people first, explain every step, and deliver exceptional results with empathy.

A Personal Journey That Became a Practice

Dr. Dustin J. Hopkin wasn’t always an oral surgeon; he grew up around them. As a child, his mother worked for an oral surgeon, and hearing patient stories planted the seeds of a lifelong calling.

That early exposure inspired Dr. Hopkin to pursue dentistry at the University of Iowa, followed by specialized training in oral and maxillofacial surgery at Indiana University. His dedication to excellence didn’t stop there—he went on to become board-certified by the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, one of the highest distinctions in the specialty.

Today, Dr. Hopkin continues to care for patients from Salt Lake City and beyond, offering advanced surgical services grounded in both expertise and humanity.
