Dr. Anthony Olatunji
Dr. Anthony Olatunji, DMD
Founder | General & Cosmetic Dentist |
Affectionately known as Dr. O, Dr. Anthony Olatunji is an award-winning general and cosmetic dentist with over 20 years of experience in transforming smiles and lives. A graduate of Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine, he is known for his clinical precision, compassionate care, and deep commitment to serving others.

From 2009 to 2021, Dr. Olatunji led mobile dental initiatives across Massachusetts, partnering with preschools, family care centers, and the Boston Public School system to deliver preventive dental care to underserved children in cities like Lawrence, Lowell, New Bedford, and Taunton. His work helped close gaps in oral health access and brought essential services to thousands of families.

But Dr. Olatunji’s calling has always gone deeper than dentistry. He is also an ordained pastor and formerly served as Senior Pastor of a congregation in Massachusetts. His years in ministry shaped his leadership style and instilled in him a lifelong commitment to faith, service, and community uplift.

Now based in West Los Angeles, Dr. Olatunji is the proud owner of Dr. Anthony Olatunji Smiles DMD, where he leads a team of general, cosmetic, and specialist dentists who share his vision for excellence and purpose-driven care. Through his Smiles That Give Back campaign, he partners with churches and nonprofits—donating a portion of proceeds from patients they refer to support their ongoing ministry and outreach – blending clinical excellence with community impact. Dr. Olatunji is a member of the American Dental Association and the California Dental Society, and continues to lead with the same heart, humility, and hope that have defined his journey from the pulpit to the practice.
