Mr Robert B. Ioppolo

Dr. Robert B. Ioppolo is a Texas native and grew up in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex. From a young age, Dr. Ioppolo was interested in pursuing a dental degree. While he was attending dental school, he went on a mission trip where he was exposed to the surgical side of dentistry and found it to be very rewarding and fascinating. He felt called to pursue a career in oral surgery, knowing that it would allow him to make a lasting impact on his patient’s lives. Dr. Ioppolo completed his undergraduate degree here in Lubbock and knew that he wanted to serve this close-knit community when he finished his training. He and his family moved back to Lubbock in 2014, and he began practicing with Dr. Hill. Dr. Ioppolo regularly donates his time to provide care for patients in need at charitable events in the South Plains region. He firmly believes that serving people through oral and maxillofacial surgery is what he is called to do. Dr. Ioppolo is incredibly passionate and committed to this practice and helping restore patients’ smiles. He is certified by the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and makes sure to stay up to date on the latest techniques so that he can provide the best possible care to his patients — the same care he would want and provide for his own family. Dr. Ioppolo completed his dental and oral surgery training through the Army Health Professions Scholarship Program and served for nine years of active-duty services and four years in the Army reserves. He served as Chief of the Oral Surgery Department and Officer-in-Charge at Reynolds Army Community Hospital in Ft. Sill, Oklahoma. As an oral surgeon for active-duty soldiers, Dr. Ioppolo is experienced in providing the full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgical care. He also assisted in training residents in the advanced education in general dentistry program for four years. This combination of study and teaching allowed him to perfect the most advanced oral surgical techniques available. Dr. Ioppolo currently serves as the chairman of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Dental section at Covenant Medical Center.
