Dr. Sanford grew up just east of Indianapolis where he graduated in 2001 from New Palestine High School. He went on to complete his undergraduate studies at Ball State University in 2005. Dr. Sanford then attended Indiana University School of Dentistry in Indianapolis and completed his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 2009.
Dr. Sanford began practicing dentistry in Carmel, Indiana immediately after graduating from IUSD in the summer of 2009. He also spent some time doing oral surgery and root canal treatments for Dr. Tracy Sapp at the Monrovia Dental Clinic during that time. While doing so, Dr. Sanford quickly fell in love with Monrovia and the people. It reminded him very much of where he grew up, and he decided thats where he wanted to treat patients for the long haul. In September of 2011, Dr. Sanford became the owner of Monrovia Family Dentistry and made it his forever work home.
Since 2011, Monrovia and surrounding areas have seen a lot of growth. Monrovia Family Dentistry has been fortunate to grow alongside. While we might have a bigger facility and bigger team than we did in 2011, Dr. Sanford and his amazing team maintain that small-town feel and try to make sure each and every patient is treated like family.

These are the nicest people ever. They understand that people are scared and they go slow. I highly recommend them. If you struggle with your teeth and you've been on the fence about going to the dentist for whatever reason, I strongly encourage you to call this dentist and just make an appointment to talk to them. It's very scary but the outcome is the end goal and you need to do this for yourself. It can change your life in such a positive and beautiful way. And out of all the Dentists I've ever visited, this is the only one where I didn't feel judged at all and I left feeling calm and peaceful and happy that I visited. They do great work!

The entire staff is so friendly. Dr Hopen was very kind and explained in detail a plan that was designed for my specific needs. The entire visit was a pleasant experience, they are knowledgeable and very caring. Making the switch to Monrovia Family Dentistry was an easy choice for me.

I've been using Mr. S for probably going on 8 years. He and his staff are the absolute nicest folks. He isn't one to overcharge you for something you don't need. He has even worked with us with his in house packages of dental care when we didn't have insurance. I HIGHLY recommend these folks!

Dr. Sanford has to be the best dentist in the entire world along with his staff. If you are as scared and nervous about going as i am, you will never go to anyone else. They are the most caring,gentle, compassionate, and professional dentists you can find.

By far the dentist that changed my entire life. Years of horrible experiences and refusing to go! Then I was referred to Monrovia and I'll never look back. Highly, HIGHLY recommend.

I look forward to my twice-yearly visits to Monrovia Family Dentistry. The new facility is clean and modern, spacious with state-of-the-art equipment. The front desk staff are friendly and efficient. My hygienist, Natalie, is super professional. I can trust that she will do a great cleaning followed by a check up with Dr. Sanford. He's the best!
