Empowering Patients & Peers with a Fresh Paradigm.
“As I connect with each patient and they share their journey with me, I listen carefully and offer insights to improve their health. We then co-create an individualized treatment plan that supports their long-term well-being.”
Helping to transform patients’ health – and empowering each patient to enjoy wellness – is at the core of Dr. Valerie Kanter’s mission.
With every patient, she brings a mindful, soothing, and calm disposition to her work and their dialogue. She knowledgeably explains each step of the treatment and utilizes gentle, more pain-free techniques to perform state-of-the-art procedures in the scope of integrative endodontics. Understand our wholistic approach.
To extend this model beyond her own practice, Valerie Kanter, DMD, educates fellow dentists, so their patients can also experience greater well-being through advanced technology and integrative approaches to care. In addition to regularly speaking at dental and endodontic conferences, she teaches at the prestigious UCLA School of Dentistry.
When not working with patients or teaching, she loves spending time in L.A. and the nature nearby. Learning, traveling, and connecting with others in her community are some of Dr. Kanter’s passions, as well as practicing yoga and meditation.

Dr. Val Kanter is an amazing person, which follows through into her dentistry… I no longer have sensitivity to hot or cold, when before I could barely chew on that side of my mouth without terrible pain.
