Dr. John Popper

Born and raised in Memphis, Dr. Popper is a true Tennessean. For his undergraduate studies he attended the University of the South (Sewanee) near Chattanooga and after graduation returned to Memphis where he received his D.D.S. degree from the University of Tennessee/College of Dentistry. Wanting to serve his country, he then joined the Army and spent 3 ½ years overseas as a Captain in the Dental Corps. To further his dental skills, Dr. Popper returned to Memphis for specialty training in Prosthodontics at the Memphis V.A. Medical Center and received his certificate in 1987. Remembering beautiful East Tennessee from his college days, he came to Kingsport in 1989 and opened his private practice.

As a licensed prosthodontist, Dr. Popper has the vigorous education and clinical practice to truly understand the value of quality patient care – and how to provide it. Being a perfectionist by nature, Dr. Popper is committed to carefully diagnose each patient and tailor his services accordingly. Combining his artistic and technical skills, he also works closely with other health care specialists to achieve the best treatment results for his patients.

Dr. Popper is a member of the American College of Prosthodontists, the American Dental Association, and the Tennessee Dental Association. He is also active in several local dental study clubs and makes continuing dental education his top priority.
