A Legacy of Precision Care and Academic Leadership

🎓 The Gold Standard: Mastership in the AGD (MAGD)

Dr. Michael Capio is a r

ecipient of the M

astership Award from the Academy of General Dentistry (MAGD)—a distinction held by less than 2% of general dentists in the United States and Canada.

To earn this, Dr. Capio completed over 1,100 hours of vetted continuing education across all dental disciplines, including 400 hours of hands-on “participation” training. For our patients, this means every procedure—from simple fillings to complex full-mouth reconstructions—is backed by an elite level of clinical training.

🏛️ 11 Years of Academic Leadership: UCLA School of Dentistry

Education is at the heart of our practice. Dr. Capio served as a Clinical Faculty member at the UCLA School of Dentistry from 2009 to 2020.

During his decade-long tenure, he mentored the next generation of dentists in restorative techniques and clinical ethics. This academic background ensures that Dental Solutions LA remains at the forefront of evidence-based dentistry, utilizing protocols that are proven to be effective, sa

fe, and long-lasting.

💻 The Digital Transition: Lecturer & Innovator

Since 2014, Dr. Capio has been a featured lecturer on the “Digital Transition” in dentistry. He has taught other practitioners how to move away from traditional methods and embrace the precision of 3D technology.

At Dental Solutions LA, we don’t just use technology; we help define how it is used to improve patient outcomes. Our workflows are designed to be:

More Accurate: 3D scans provide a level of detail traditional impressions can’t match.
Faster: Digital design allows for quicker turnaround times for crowns and dentures.
More Comfortable: No “goopy” impressions or invasive measurements.

📍 Honoring a 70-Year Westchester Legacy

While we lead in technology, we stay rooted in our community. Our office at 8501 Lincoln Blvd has been a staple of Westchester and the Playa del Rey area since 1953. Dr. Capio is proud to carry on the legacy of Dr. Lance Sherman, combining “old school” personal relationships with “new school” clinical innovation.
