Get to know Dentist Dr. Cyprian C. Okobi Jr., who serves patients in Greenville, Texas

A committed dentist, Dr. Okobi Jr. is affiliated with Affordable Dentures and Implants. He chose to pursue a career in dentistry because of the lack of overzealous involvement of private insurance companies, which in turn, allows him to perform treatments he believes will be the best option for his patients. The one thing he loves most about practicing dentistry is recreating smiles. He is looking forward to building new connections and positively impacting the  community.

Fresh Dental and Orthodontics is known for going above and beyond on all levels of customer service, and they take pride in making sure patients are comfortable and safe at all times. Their dentists and trained staff, including on-staff pediatric and orthodontic specialists, offer nearly any kind of dental service, from a routine cleaning to a root canal in their state-of-the-art facility.

Educated in the United States, Dr. Okobi Jr. attended the University of Texas at Arlington, where he obtained his Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. He then went on to earn his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the Texas A&M College of Dentistry.

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.

When he isn’t transforming smiles, Dr. Okobi Jr. enjoys spending time with his wife, learning, and exercising.
