Lawrence B. Caplin, DMD, CCHP

Founder & CEO, Dr. Lawrence Caplin, DMD, is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, and was presented with the University’s Alumni Award of Merit in May 2005. He is also certified in forensic dentistry, and in the aftermath of 9/11, volunteered his time as a member of the Body Identification Team.

Dr. Caplin has published articles in four national dental publications, and has delivered more than 50 lectures on “Taking Control of Your Practice Project,” a talk which focuses on designing and building dental offices for efficiency and cost control. In fact, he has designed and built dental offices, professional office buildings, and other private practices in the northeastern United States since 2002.

He is also the Founder of Caplin Family Charities, a non-profit organization that is dedicated to providing funding to a variety of oral health causes, including scholarships, internships and externships, and assistance in establishing Dental Homes.

Dr. Caplin is a devoted father of four young children (including a set of twins), and is an avid skier. When he is not dedicating his time to dentistry, he enjoys spending time with his family and friends in the quiet surroundings of Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
