Dr Damian Cullom

Dr. Cullom was born and raised in Indianapolis, IN. He attended Indiana University Bloomington, where he earned bachelor and master degrees in Exercise Physiology. He returned to Indianapolis where he obtained his General Dentistry degree from Indiana University School of Dentistry. Before entering private practice, Dr. Cullom furthered his education by completing a General Dentistry Residency at the University of Alabama-Birmingham Hospital. There, he was exposed to advanced training in oral surgery, IV sedation and treatment of medically complex patients. In 2005, Dr. Cullom moved to Florida and worked for Florida Dental Centers until 2011, when he purchased the practice of Dr. Robert Pastorius, a well-respected dentist of over 30 years. Dr. Cullom has completed hundreds of hours of continuing education including the Essentials Series at the world renowned Pankey Institute, whose philosophy is centered on delivering personalized, comprehensive care that improves patients’ oral health and overall well-being. The son of a school teacher and police officer, Dr. Cullom was raised under the old-fashioned principles of hard work and treating others right. His love for dentistry evolved from having positive dental experiences with his childhood dentist and mentor, Dr. John Bozic, in addition to his love for science and helping others. He continues to stay abreast of the latest dental advancements through continuing education courses and participation in the local Perio-Prosthetic Study Club. Dr. Cullom strives to provide the most gentle and compassionate care to all patients. He takes the time to get to know his patients and listens to their desires and concerns so they can have the best dental experience possible. Dr. Cullom feels the most rewarding part of his profession is helping a patient transform from a dental-phobic with pain and multiple dental health issues to being pain-free, excited to go to the dentist and thrilled with their new, healthy smile. In his spare time, Dr. Cullom enjoys spending time with his wife and family, coaching his daughter’s soccer team, volunteering at the Free Clinic, participating in his church’s Patriarch bible study group, traveling and working out.
