Dean L. Duncan, DDS

I have a passion for oral surgery, and I am dedicated to benefitting the lives of others through excellent treatment and compassionate care.

Meet Dr. Duncan

Southern California was home for Dr. Dean Duncan until he left after high school to pursue dentistry in the Bay Area. He gained a remarkable amount of experience throughout his educational career and was eager to provide exceptional oral surgery services to the lives of others. He originally established this oral surgery practice on July 1, 1980, in the West Portal district of San Francisco.

Dr. Duncan believes that every patient deserves outstanding care every time, which is why he strives to create a welcoming, dynamic environment for both his patients and his staff. He believes in being open with his patients and wants them to know that when they come to this practice, they are in excellent hands.
