Dr. James D. Powell

Dr. James Powell has been a part of the Antelope Valley for more than 50 years. He played Little League, Pony League baseball, and worked in his dad’s business, Green Pastures Dairy on Division Street in Lancaster. He married his high school sweetheart and they raised their five children in the Antelope Valley, where they are surrounded by family and lifelong friends. The family enjoys hiking, camping, swimming, and many other outdoor activities that allow them to take advantage of what the desert and the state of California have to offer. Dr. Powell attended local elementary schools and graduated from Antelope Valley High School and Antelope Valley College. He pursued undergraduate studies in biology at the University of the Pacific and also attended California State University of Northridge for additional courses in science and business. Later, he graduated from Loma Linda University School of Dentistry, earning a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 1985. After working as an associate with a family dentist, Dr. Harold Brockman, Dr. Powell began his own practice in Quartz Hill in 1989. He has pursued in-depth studies in advanced aesthetic restorative techniques using the most current materials available with Dr. Bruce Crispin, former director of UCLA’s Cosmetic Dentistry Center, and at the world-renowned Las Vegas Institute of Advanced Dental Studies, of which he is a Fellow. Dr. Powell started in-depth studies of treating TMD in 1992 and became a member of the International College of Cranio-Mandibular Orthopedics in 1995. His advanced training in CEREC® (CAD-CAM) single-visit restorations began in 2003 with Dr. Rick Masek at Dentistry by Design and continued with Dr. Mark Morin at the Great Lakes Education Center in 2004. Dr. Powell continues to advance his education and training through regular, in-depth courses, enabling him to transform from being a tooth doctor to becoming a comprehensive mouth doctor. Dr. Powell started studies of Dental Sleep Medicine in 2009 with Dr. Kent Smith at Las Vegas Institute of Advanced Dental Studies, and he has been very successful in treating patients without the use of the CPAP. He is committed and dedicated to providing the highest quality, lifetime dentistry that is available.
