Being an orthodontist is the best way to combine my love for the sciences and detailed artistic creation. I get to work with individuals who are excited about transforming their lives by changing their smiles, and creating unique works of art that everyone can admire and enjoy.
Its an honor to be part of a persons journey for the short time theyre in treatment. Every day I meet new people, strengthen connections with established patients, and witness the growth and change of those in my care.
It is good to know that the smiles we accomplish have a positive effect on a person not only while in treatment, but in the future, contributing to their happiness and success. I love being an orthodontist and cannot imagine a more rewarding way to spend my days. Dr. Timothy Poppell
Dr. Poppell has brought together a team of experienced, compassionate individuals, each committed to making sure patients feel like part of a family. They are warm, welcoming, and strive to foster a fun and memorable experience for every patient.
Dr. Poppell attended the University of Florida. There he received his Doctorate of Dental Medicine (DMD) and was inducted into the National Dental Honor Society, Omicron Kappa Upsilon. He remained at the University of Florida, completing his orthodontic residency, and then established Poppell Orthodontics in the Debary area.
A large part of Dr. Poppells success, and that of his patients, is a due to his ongoing pursuit of continuing education. Through active participation in the St. Johns Orthodontic Study Club, he learns from and with his peers. Together, they share insights and experiences with various treatment modalities, discuss complex cases, and review new approaches to treatment.
A native of Tallahassee, Dr. Poppell now lives just down the interstate from the office, in Longwood, with his wife, Maggie. His daughter and her husband live in Maitland. When not creating smiles, Dr. Poppell enjoys golfing, though he says he doesnt play very well. Hes recently developed an interest in woodworking and Bonsais, too: he says its like wires and braces for plants!
We recognize that all of our patients are unique and deserve to receive orthodontic care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding orthodontic experience every time you visit our practice.
After having braces in my teens, I always knew I wanted to work in the field of orthodontics. Making people smile everday couldn't feel more rewarding! From High School I immediately started school in Maitland in 2009 at Lincoln Tech. Following graduation in 2010, I received certificates in Dental Assisting, Dental Radiology, CPR and Expanded functions. Once I was given the opportunity to begin my career in this field I never looked back. Over the years also continuing my education earning my Certified Orthodontic Assistant Certification.I am a lucky mother of 3 children, 2 girls and 1 boy and married to a wonderful husband. We have a dog named Moana and a cat named Olaf. We are a Disney loving family, with our favorite past time's, rollerskating, traveling and spending time with my immediate and extended family all over the country.
Throughout theduration of my 28 yearsin the orthodontic field I have enjoyed seeing the transformation of smiles on patient's faces which has fueled my love for the profession to stay.Beingacertified orthodontic assistant has given me alot of experience and opportunity throughout the years. I am blessed to have a loving and supportive family including my wonderful husband Ronnie, a beautiful daughter, Savannah and two precious grandbaby twins, Kinley and Makenna whom we love and adore. Family time for us is what we enjoy the most and we spend as much time together as possible.
I graduated from Spruce Creek High School and earned my AA at Daytona State College. I joined Dr. Poppells office in 2001. This team, including Dr. Poppell, has become an extension of my family. I have many memories thanks to this job and will always be grateful for this experience. One of the things I like best about my job is having the pleasure of meeting new people and developing relationships that have lasted for many years. I enjoy networking with people of various walks of life and on many levels who have helped made a significant difference in my day to day routine.
Living in New Smyna Beach we live afun, relaxed lifestyle where myfiance Jason and I have a Chocolate Lab named Nala Belle and crazy rabbit, Ozzy. While enjoying the scenery is my first love, my second love is the gymhealthy living is definitely my way of life. Spending time with family and friends along with fine wine tops the cake!
I am a proud mother of three girls and married to a brave man who has served our country for 30 years. In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, baking, party planning, and spending quality time with my family who I love dearly.
Often, people start orthodontic treatment feeling self-conscious about their appearance. They tend to be withdrawn, uncomfortable in social situations, and hide their teeth by ducking their head or covering their mouth.
As treatment progresses, our patient begins to change. We see them walk taller, making eye contact and willingly engaging with others. The best day for us is when we see our patient smile unselfconsciously, broadcasting confidence and comfort with who they are.
Following your exam, Dr. Poppell will create your treatment plan. He recommends an efficient, comfortable approach that will soon have you sharing your new smile. Well review the plan with you, explaining whats involved, all options, and encouraging your questions. Then its up to you: no pressure and no upselling, just accessible information.

I have been a dental hygienist for almost 17 years and my dental office has always trusted Dr. Poppell and his staff to take care of our patients. So when it came time for me to have orthodontic treatment myself there was no question who I was going to go to. They have all been fantastic to work with and have addressed all of my concerns and I'm so happy to have gone through this process with them. I highly recommend them for any of your ortho needs.

If you or your family member needs an orthodontist this is the one to see. He is wonderful and he has an awesome staff. I brought three of my girls here and experienced nothing but the best care for all three. My girls felt very comfortable with Dr. Poppell and his staff. They were very friendly and joked around making my girls feel at ease. We loved them and I am so glad I made the right choice.

Dr. Poppell is the BEST! Beginning the moment my teenagers and I walked in the door and were greeted by Kerri with a warm smile and kindness that put us at ease. Then the professional and always charming Dr. Poppell gave my kids a Beautiful Smile Thank you for always talking to my kids with respect and honesty.

I had braces from the beginning of 6th grade up until the middle of 7th grade, so about a year and a half. As a matter of fact, I even got them off early! I was super nervous at first, but everyone there calmed me down and were so kind. Dr. Poppell is absolutely great! I'm so glad I got braces, but more importantly, I'm glad I chose this office

Dr Poppell and the entire staff are knowledgeable, kind and I quickly became part of their "family", as well as my 3 year old who came to my appointments. My mother also came and was so impressed, she became a patient. Dr Poppell has the best interest of the patient in mind at all times. He and the staff go out of their way to ensure your happy with the results and will do what they can to ease the process (as we all know, braces can be painful). They provide all things necessary including a cheerful smile, compassion and understanding thru it all. We love Poppell and highly recommend them to everyone. On a personal level, I was always self conscious about my smile and deleted many photos or refused to print many photos because of it. The birth of my son was a game changer. My dentist said my smile would only get worse causing more cavities, difficult cleanings and in my head, more ruined photos. I refused to have any more memories stolen from me because of something fixable. A year with braces and now 18 months later, I am still in love with my smile. I am grateful each and everyday for this gift which has given me self confidence, an even bigger smile and soooo many photos now covering my walls. The hardest part now is deciding which ones to hang because they all look soooo good. Thank you Dr Poppell.
