A Board-Certified Oral Surgeon
Dr. Hopkin has received extensive training in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery from Indiana University, where he completed his surgical residency. He routinely treats emergency oral and facial trauma patients in his office as well in a hospital setting. In 2013, Dr. Hopkin received his diploma from the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons. This elevated him to board-certified status, which means that the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery has recognized Dr. Hopkin as a trusted surgeon with the highest standard of care.

Hopkin Oral Surgery got my mom in as a new patient within 24 hours and literally had abscess drained and wisdom tooth out in 15 minutes. I am so thankful for the quick care and the attention my mom received. Thank you Hopkin Oral Surgery team! ♥
View on GoogleWhy He Became an Oral Surgeon
Dr. Hopkin was born and raised in Morgan, UT, about an hour outside of Salt Lake City. His mother raised him, his three brothers, and his sister while working for an oral surgeon. Going into the office and hearing the remarkable stories of how oral surgery helped so many patients inspired Dr. Hopkin to become an oral surgeon himself. He went on to not only achieve his goal, but to purchase his practice from the same oral surgeon his mother had worked for.
Dr. Hopkin Is Trilingual
English, Spanish, & Portuguese
Dr. Hopkin has fluency in his native English as well as in Spanish and Portuguese. This allows him to better serve a more diverse patient base than many other surgeons. His language abilities were honed through real use with native speakers, not just in classrooms. After graduating high school, he served an LDS mission for two years in Joao Pessoa, Brazil, and after becoming an oral surgeon he took the opportunity to serve the people of Costa Rica on a humanitarian service trip.
Dr. Hopkin Delivers for His Community
/
Dr. Hopkin extends the goodwill he provides his patients to the entire Salt Lake City community. One way he and his team do this is by supporting Olympus, Saline, and Hillcrest High Schools. They also have participated in the American Dental Association's Give Kids a Smile® event several times. This initiative partners oral healthcare providers with underserved children, giving them free screenings, education, and treatment.
