Business Owner

Dr. Claypool’s first hands-​on experience in dentistry came when, at the age of 17, he enlisted in the Army as a dental assistant in oral surgery. It was here that he learned valuable skills that would later contribute toward his pursuits beyond general dentistry toward more complicated skill sets such as implant dentistry, tooth extractions, and crown placements.

After leaving the Army, Dr. Claypool moved to Fresno, CA and spent his undergraduate years at Fresno State University obtaining a Bachelor of Science degree in microbiology. He then went on to UCLA for dental school and graduated in 1984, officially becoming a Doctor of Dental Surgery. Upon graduation, Dr. Claypool traveled back to Fresno, CA and spent the next 20 years building a very successful dental practice in the central valley. In 2005, he relocated to San Diego, CA but missed Fresno dearly. In 2013 Dr. Claypool moved back to the central valley to reopen a full-​time dental practice, Robert S. Claypool DDS.
