Meet Dr. Davila
Julian E. Davila, DMD, MS.
“What I enjoy most about being an orthodontist is working closely with children and their families and developing a relationship with them, while contributing to their health and well-being. It is very rewarding to see how creating a beautiful smile can change a person’s life by giving them confidence and a boost in self-esteem. I love their smiles! It is truly rewarding to see each individual smile transform before my eyes. I love my job and wouldn't trade it for anything.”
Born and raised in Peru, Dr. Julian Davila discovered early in his life how passionate and rewarding a career in dentistry could be by witnessing his father, a now retired dentist in Lima, provided stellar care and experiences to patients. The admiration and pride he experienced as a young man began a pursuit of personal goals, commitment to education and professionalism that now can be experienced by all who meet him. Dr. Davila has many years of orthodontic experience and training that he uses to create exceptional patient satisfaction and dazzling smiles.
A board-certified orthodontist, Dr. Davila received his Doctorate in Dental Medicine at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in Boston, graduating summa cum laude, the highest academic honor presented by this institution. Dr. Davila then completed residencies in advanced restorative dentistry at the University of Rochester and received his orthodontics specialty from the University of Minnesota.
