Dr. Edmond H. Henken has been creating winning smiles in South Orange County for 23 years. He received his Doctorate Degree in Dentistry from the Loma Linda University School of Dentistry. After practicing general dentistry for two years, he returned to Loma Linda University School of Dentistry to obtain a Master's Degree, which allowed him to specialize in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics. Having studied anatomy under the tutelage of his father, Herbert W. Henken, M.D., Dr. Henken, in his Master’s thesis, used magnetic resonance imaging to map the orofacial muscles. Training at Loma Linda University School of Orthodontics, under the philosophy of Robert Ricketts, has provided Dr. Henken with skills that focus on growth and development, allowing him not only to align the teeth, but also to develop balanced facial features and a “winning smile.” He was proud to join Dr. David Skersick in March 2000. Together, they focused on early treatment and developmental facial orthopedics as well as providing highly skilled professional training for teens and adults. Dr. Henken and his wife, Dr. Tamra Henken, reside in Coronado with their three children, Hans, 18, and twins, Sterling and Paris, 15.

Dr. David M. Kennedy graduated Magna Cum Laude from UCLA School of Dentistry. While there, he earned the distinction of being elected to the national dental honor society, Omicron Kappa Upsilon, an honor reserved for the top 5% of the graduating class. Upon graduation, he had the honor of continuing his studies at USC, then the #1 orthodontic program in the country. There he received his specialty certificate in Orthodontics and a Master’s Degree in Craniofacial Biology. He presented his Master’s thesis research on the eruption patterns of permanent teeth in different ethnic groups at the American Association of Orthodontics Convention in 2006. He joined Drs. Henken and Skersick that same year and has been committed to building upon their strong commitment to facial harmony and balance. Being a member of the Frank Spear Dental Study Club Advisory Board allows him to associate with some of the most highly respected dental professionals in the area. Recently, Dr. Kennedy has collaborated in the development of a pain-free appliance to help patients stop thumb-sucking habits and has been very pleased with the positive results he has seen. A Southern California native, Dr. Kennedy enjoys playing golf and soccer and is an avid Lakers and USC Trojans fan. He and his family are thrilled to be living in San Clemente.
