Dr. Lofquist has completed over 350 hours of continuing education in biological dentistry, emphasizing advanced biological dental surgeries.

​

Dr. Lofquist’s passion for biological dentistry began after experiencing a traumatic dental injury while playing professional ice hockey. Following a recommendation from a teammate, he visited a biological dentist to address his root canals and observed firsthand improvements in overall health after the treatments. This experience inspired him to focus exclusively on evidence-based biological dentistry, following protocols and using materials grounded in scientific research. Unlike other practitioners who may combine traditional and unproven methods, Dr. Lofquist is committed to practicing strictly biological dentistry, prioritizing patient safety and long-term wellness.

​

A native of Wisconsin, Dr. Lofquist played 12 seasons of professional ice hockey across the USA, Sweden, Finland, Russia, Switzerland, and China before transitioning to a dental career. Growing up in a household focused on health and holistic wellness, he naturally adopted biological dentistry for both his practice and personal oral health. Today, Dr. Lofquist continues to apply these principles at Biological Dentistry of Southern California, ensuring that patients receive care aligned with the highest standards of biological dental practice, including advanced ceramic implant procedures.
