What are you and your team proud of at your practice?

Dr. Schafer continues to study the latest advances in dentistry in such areas as lasers and implants with the nation’s foremost clinicians. This passion for education allows him to offer state-of-the-art techniques with an emphasis on prevention. Dr. Schafer is one of only a handful of dentists in the bay area to have been awarded a Fellowship from the World Congress of Minimally Invasive Dentistry in recognition of his training in the most advanced methods of saving teeth. If a tooth truly needs a crown, or a conservative tooth-colored composite filling, Dr. Schafer’s office is one of only five offices in Marin County equipped to use a surgical operating microscope for these treatments. He is a member of the Academy of Laser Dentistry. He and his registered dental hygienist are both certified in the use of lasers. Should you be missing a tooth, Dr. Schafer is one of only a dozen surgeons and general dentists in Marin who have been awarded a Fellowship from the International Congress of Oral Implantologists. In recognition of Dr. Schafer’s continuing commitment to expand his skills and dental knowledge by completing over a thousand hours of continuing education classes, he was awarded a Mastership in the Academy of General Dentistry in 2007. Less than 1% of all dentists in the United States have achieved this honor, including only two dentists practicing in Marin County. Despite his clinical accolades, Dr. Schafer takes time to listen to his patients’ individual needs so he can best help them make informed choices about their dental health. Dr. Schafer is active many professional societies. He has served on the Board of Directors of the Northern California Academy of General Dentistry, the California Dental Association, and the Marin County Dental Society. Dr. Schafer is proud to give back to his community and to those less fortunate. Dr. Schafer has volunteered at events hosted by Flying Doctors, Remote Area Medical, Care Harbor, and CDA Cares.
