Alec J. Temlock, DMD, MS

Board Certified Periodontist

Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology

Dr. Temlock grew up in Tennessee and attended Vanderbilt University as an undergraduate where he received a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree. After graduation, he joined a medical research team at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in the Department of Neurology for several years before moving to New York City to begin career in the pharmaceutical industry. Several years later, Dr. Temlock decided to refocus his career towards patient-oriented outcomes and ultimately attended dental school.

Dr. Temlock graduated Cum Laude from Boston University School of Dental Medicine, receiving his Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree. At graduation, he was awarded the prestigious American Academy of Periodontology Dental Student Award recognizing his Outstanding Achievement in Periodontics. After completing dental school, Dr. Temlock continued his education as a surgical resident at the University of California-San Francisco (UCSF). After three years of specialty training, he was awarded his Certificate of Residency in Periodontology. While receiving his intense surgical and implant training, he also completed a Masters of Science (MS) degree in Oral and Craniofacial Biology. 

Upon completing his surgical residency training, Dr. Temlock pursued Board Certification with the American Board of Periodontology.  After two years of rigorous written and oral examinations, Dr. Temlock achieved Diplomate status which is the highest achievement recognized by any medical or dental specialty.  He continues to maintain his status as a Board Certified Periodontist on a yearly basis.

Additionally, Dr. Temlock received an academic appointment at the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry in San Francisco where he continued to teach the next generation of aspiring dentists and specialists.

Dr. Temlock continues to attend symposia for continuing education around the world focusing on implant placement and restorations, advanced surgical techniques and plastic surgery, patient sedation and comfort, and safety precautions among other topics.  He strives to educate and inform patients from the very first visit, and his greatest pleasure comes from the smiles when his patients happily complete treatment.

D'Et, Registered Dental Hygienist in Alternative Practice 

My name is Kathi Lee. I have been in the dental field for over 32 years. I love what I do and plan on working the next 10 years with Dr. Tobian.  I am a wife, mother and Nonny. My husband and I raised two boys and now have moved on to the best part of parenting, grand parenting! We currently have 3 g-kids and are expecting our fourth this July. I enjoy golf, camping, boating and just anything with family or friends. My husband and I travel to Maui each May and will continue to do so with the next grand-daughter. I feel lucky to be a part of Dr. Tobian's Team and look forward to meeting each and everyone of his kind patients.

Brianna, Registered Dental Hygienist

My other interests include traveling, hiking, baking, and spending time with friends and family.

Maggie, Registered Dental Hygienist

My name is Maggie. After graduating UC Santa Barbara with a degree in Communication, I decided to follow my lifelong dream and pursue the dental field. I’ve always wanted to be a hygienist and even wrote my senior research paper on it in high school. Pretty neat, huh?! I have two daughters, 3 and 5 years old and they keep me busier than I ever thought was possible! They are strong willed, independent and sassy little things and I am incredibly blessed to be their mom! In my free time, my husband and I like to sneak away to Santa Barbara for a quick refresher or binge watch espionage shows after the kids go to bed. I feel super fortunate to be a part of Dr Tobian’s team! One of my favorite aspects of the dental field is building relationships with patients and I look forward to meeting you all!”
