Meet Our Staff
Jessi LaPointe
Dentist
Born and raised right here in our community, Dr. Jessi LaPointe proudly carries the spirit of a Central Park Tiger, Hamlin Rebel, and Ray Texan. After earning her doctorate from Baylor College of Dentistry in 2012, she made the deliberate choice to come home because this isn't just where she practices dentistry, it's where her heart is. Since graduation, Dr. LaPointe has worked as an associate dentist, gaining valuable experience while staying connected to the patients and families she's known her whole life.
When she's not in the office, you'll find her on the tennis court, tending to her garden, exploring local art, curled up with a good book, or playing cello with the Del Mar College Community Orchestra. These activities keep her balanced and remind her of the importance of taking time for the things we love—just like taking time for our oral health.
