Dr. John Baker
Dr. John Baker has been with the BDC Family since the year 2000, specializing in orthodontics. Dr. Baker has been fascinated by orthodontics ever since he’s experienced the change it made in his own mouth and enjoys that orthodontics is the perfect blend of bioengineering and cosmetic dentistry. Dr. Baker is inspired by being able to build beautiful smiles and relationships with his patients. He strives to provide a service that it minimizes discomfort as much as possible for his patients, as him and his wife, Dr. Silvia, have experienced past dental discomfort and trauma themselves. Keeping his own experiences in mind, Dr. Baker has a strong focus on early intervention and preventative treatment and has found great success in doing so on many patients who were referred to him at an early age (7-9 years old), including his own children! It brings Dr. Baker true joy being able to change patients’ lives and self-esteem – helping someone smile confidently, who would never do so before. In his service, Dr. Baker strives for perfection and never sacrifices ethics. He has many years of education and knowledge, working his way to the top, while going through 4 years of college, 4 years of an Ivy League dental school, and 2 years of an Ivy League Orthodontic school but never loses sight of the fact that “nobody cares how much you know until they know how much you care!” In his free time, Dr. Baker loves to spend time fishing, boating, and vacationing with his family of 6.
