Receiving his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Loyola University Chicago College of Dental Surgery in 1982, Dr. Apelian continues his education and learning yearly, where he studies the latest trends, technologies, and techniques in modern day dentistry. He received his post-doctorate in general dental surgery at the University of California, Los Angeles and completed his post-graduate residency at a local hospital.

From 1983 until 2012, Dr. Apelian was the supervising dentist and comprehensive dental practitioner at a private multidisciplinary dental practice in Tarzana, California. Then, from 2004 until 2007, he served at Goleta’s Cottage Hospital in an outpatient operating room setting, where extensive oral rehabilitative procedures were performed, free of charge, for underprivileged and developmentally disabled adolescents and young adults.

Dentistry, also known as Dental and Oral Medicine, is a branch of medicine that consists of the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the oral cavity. Dentists diagnose and treat dental issues and help patients develop better oral hygiene regimens. They clean teeth, correct bite issues, perform surgeries and extractions, and perform other duties to ensure that the teeth and mouth are healthy. 

Happily married, Dr. Apelian and his wife, Victoria, have three boys together. When not at the office, he loves gardening and enjoying his classic cars.

His personal objectives are to continue practicing dentistry at Hilltop Dental, to continue to meet the challenging needs of his family, and to continue to thrive in making planet earth a better place for someone, each and every day.
