Guadalupe Cabrera—also known as Lupita—is a passionate and dedicated registered dental hygienist who brings warmth, experience, and personalized care to every patient interaction. She earned her degree in dental hygiene from Central Georgia Technical College and holds certifications in diode laser therapy, nitrous oxide sedation, and local anesthesia. Since completing her program in 2016, she’s practiced across Georgia, Arizona, and now Alaska, and holds licensure in both the Southeast and Western regions. She’s also an active member of the American Dental Hygienists’ Association and the IAOMT.
Guadalupe was inspired to pursue dentistry after learning, as an adult, how vital regular dental care is to overall health. She remembers growing up with limited access to dental services—usually only visiting when something hurt. That realization sparked her mission to help others understand the importance of prevention and feel empowered in their oral health journey.
She tailors her care to each patient’s needs, whether that means taking extra time to explain oral health conditions, using ozone or laser-assisted periodontal therapy, or simply skipping fluoride and starting with polish. She believes in meeting patients where they are and creating a plan together—one that feels supportive, personalized, and effective.
At Health Centered Dentistry, Guadalupe values the exceptional leadership and the collaborative spirit of the team. “The doctors here are smart, approachable, and funny—it makes a big difference,” she says. Her goal is to make patients feel comfortable and heard, building trust through education, empathy, and a little humor along the way.
When she’s not at work, you’ll find Guadalupe enjoying family time, keeping up with housekeeping, or driving to Whittier—one of her favorite spots in Alaska. She’s a fan of black coffee, pastries, and ghost-themed books and movies. If she weren’t in dentistry, she’d likely be running a coffee shop. Her dream is to one day visit Italy for the food, language, and a chance to see the Pope.
Fun Fact: “Comfortable” is a hard word for her to pronounce—but she always makes sure her patients feel exactly that.
Bucket List: Own a farm, learn to dance Latin music, and pick up a third language (she’d love to master sign language one day).
