Meet The Doctor
Dr. David WoodRuff
Dr. David A. Woodruff is a 2005 graduate of the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Dentistry. After practicing in Arizona for approximately two years, he relocated to California, where he owned and operated a private solo practice from 2007 to 2023. During that time, he concentrated on restorative and surgical procedures as an implantologist while providing a comprehensive range of general dental services, including endodontics and CAD/CAM dentistry.
He completed advanced training at the Las Vegas Institute and received Fellowship recognition in 2018 (LVIF). Additional professional distinctions include Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry (FAGD) and Fellowship in the International Association of Physiologic Aesthetics (FIAPA).
In late 2023, Dr. Woodruff sold his California practice and relocated to Florida. He now practices full-time and serves on the Florida Dental Association Committee for Conventions and Continuing Education.
Dr. Woodruff recognizes the meaningful influence that high-quality dental care can have on a patient’s life. He notes that dentistry is a demanding profession and credits the support of his wife, Maryanne. They have been married for more than 27 years and have four children. As a family they enjoy traveling, discovering new places, and spending time together. In his leisure hours, Dr. Woodruff enjoys hiking and fishing. He and his family appreciate living closer to the beach.
