Brian Green, D.M.D

Dr. Green grew up in Phoenix, Arizona, moving out to California in 2003 to attend school at Claremont Mckenna College. He often refers to himself as a "big nerd," which is why he began his career working in research and development for 3M Unitek and ESPE, both of which are dental divisions of 3M. He worked there for 5 years while pursuing his undergraduate degree, and while attending dental school at Tufts University of Dental Medicine. During that period, he lectured on bonding and adhesive and went on to be published in the American Academy of Orthodontics and Dental Facial Orthopedics. It was because of this, that he was awarded the Quintessence Award for Student Publishing while in dental school, a nationally recognized award for clinical achievement. Dr. Green graduated in the clinical top 6% of his class and has remained committed to 100+ hours of continuing education each year in order to stay current with the changes happening in medicine.

After graduating from dental school, Dr. Green and his wife, Jen, moved to Newport Beach, California. His unwavering community involvement has earned Dr. Green numerous positions, including a spot on the Board of the Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce, one of the civic leaders of the Commodore Club in which he was elected, and a member of the philanthropic group The Elite OC Young Professionals Society. Dr. Green’s affiliations with these organizations have allowed him to help put on the Newport Beach Scholarship Awards Dinner, the Annual Sandcastle Contest, and widely popular Christmas Boat Parade. He also gives back to East Bluff Elementary School, Our Lady Queen of Angels, Sage Hill High School, and The Pegasus School.  

When he isn’t practicing dentistry at the office, Dr. Green is an avid tennis player. He has two young daughters who keep him busy during his free time, and of course one of his favorite pastimes is to relax at home with his wife.
