Dr. Jacob DeVinney

Journeying from the heartland of Netawaka, Kansas, to the bustling energy of the Bay Area, Dr. Jacob DeVinney brings a kaleidoscope of experiences to Total Health Dental Care's Marina office. His story, interwoven with dedication and a zest for life, makes him a perfect fit for our community-focused dental practice. In 2015, Dr. DeVinney, along with his family, was captivated by the charm and vibrancy of the Bay Area, moving here to be closer to his wife's family. This shift marked a new chapter in his journey, intertwining his professional aspirations with his family life. Dentistry for Dr. DeVinney wasn't just a career choice; it was a path chosen to balance his dream of making a difference in people's lives with his commitment to being an involved and present father. This quest led him from an early interest in neurosurgery to the multifaceted world of dentistry. Here, he found his true calling, blending patient care with life’s other joys. His academic voyage is as intriguing as his career shift. From the decks of the U.S. Navy to the halls of USC School of Dentistry, his journey reflects a pursuit of excellence. His tenure in the Navy, his academic achievements in Computer Science and Biology, and his laudable graduation from USC all paint a picture of a man committed to learning and growth. Before joining our team in December 2023, Dr. DeVinney was the proud owner of a dental practice in Pleasanton, where he honed his skills and deepened his understanding of patient care. His philosophy is simple yet profound: friendly, ethical dental care delivered with a calm and clear approach. But who is Dr. DeVinney beyond the dental clinic? A dedicated father, an avid reader of spy and military novels, and a theater enthusiast. And for a fun twist? He was a vibrant part of the '90s rave scene! At Total Health Dental Care, Dr. DeVinney is already making waves with his commitment to excellent care and his unique blend of professionalism and personal warmth. Ready to meet a dentist who's as skilled with a dental drill as he is with storytelling? Dr. DeVinney awaits your visit at our Marina office, ready to make your dental experience memorable.

Why should patients choose you as their provider instead of others in the area?

I believe that my patients deserve the best dentistry possible and that patient experience is key to my success as a doctor. I’m dedicated to making sure each of my patients feels relaxed, comfortable and confident in the treatment. To that goal, I enjoy explaining each diagnosis and encourage my patients to ask any questions they may have. I also strive to empower my patients with the knowledge to take control of their health. I focus on prevention and use nutrition as a tool to help patients overcome long-term dental issues such as gum disease, loss of teeth and cavities. I love people and seek to develop lasting professional relationships with my patients.

What are the top 3 treatments that you focus on?

At Total Health, we do everything under one roof. Our team of specialists do everything from periodontal treatments to oral surgery, orthodontic and implants.

What are you proud of in your practice?

I am proud of the excellent dentistry and exceptional experience we provide. Our patients rave about us on Yelp and Google. It’s fulfilling to see a new patient come in with some level of anxiety and leave feeling 100% comfortable with and confident in the cleaning or treatment. Our patients leave feeling good about themselves. They leave smiling.

Which cases do you enjoy treating? Why?

Since dentistry is a combination of science and art, every case is fulfilling. I really love helping people. It’s an incredible feeling to see a patient smile with confidence and genuine happiness after an office visit.
