In the Community

Our practice is about more than creating beautiful smiles and healthy bites! As a local parent himself, Dr. Kaplan greatly values the importance of sponsoring local activities and organizations to help make Marin County become a stronger community. He proudly gives back to the very community that he grew up in.

Dr. Kaplan supports a variety of schools in the Dixie School District, as well as St. Isabella’s, Mark Day, and Brandeis Marin schools. Kaplan Orthodontics is also a backer of a variety of local athletic teams throughout the county, including Dixie-Terra Linda Little League, Novato Youth Soccer, and Redwood High football.
