Meet Dr. Anoop Bawa

Dr. Anoop Bawa is a compassionate general and cosmetic dentist with over 20 years of experience across diverse dental specialties. She enjoys developing dental products, has taught dentistry and has owned several successful private dental practices, including Bawa Dentistry in Manassas, VA.

Geography is no challenge to Dr. Bawa, who has practiced dentistry in New Jersey, Canada, and California. She attended McGill University in Montreal, Canada and was accepted to Tufts University School of Dental Medicine with a merit scholarship and began her dental school journey in 1992 at the early age of 20.

Upon graduation in 1996, Dr. Bawa went on to pursue a General Practice Residency in Hospital Dentistry at St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center in Paterson, NJ (affiliated with Seton Hall University School of Graduate Medical Education). There she focused on the surgical aspects of dentistry as well as medically compromised patients.

Continuing education beyond dental school

Her postgraduate education includes the prestigious Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies, Invisalign, Neuromuscular Orthodontics with Jay Gerber and the Executive Management Program for Dentists at Kellogg School of Management.

Extensive experience since 1999

Dr. Bawa has extensive experience running a dental practice that meets the needs of the community. She has successfully operated a private practice in Canada from 1999-2002, then moved to California’s Bay Area in 2002. Dr. Bawa served from 2002 until 2005 as a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Oral Diagnosis and Management at the University of the Pacific, Arthur Dugoni School of Dentistry. Then she opened a Livermore, California private practice with her husband, Bobby Bawa, DDS in 2003. In 2006, they expanded with another office serving Antioch, California. In 2009, Dr. Bawa and her husband agreed to sell these practices and move to Virginia to be closer to family.

A natural innovator can serve your smile

The passion for pushing the bounds of dentistry to serve more patients led Dr. Bawa to develop dental products. Recently, she was awarded a U.S. Patent for her latest dental innovation and continues to work on other dental products that will help improve delivery of dental care and improve overall oral health. Dr. Bawa has also consistently been voted one of “America’s Top Dentists” by Consumers’ Research Council of America.

In her free time, Dr. Bawa enjoys the company of her husband, two daughters and their family and friends. In addition to this, she likes cooking, traveling and attends CrossFit classes at least three times per week.
