Meet Dr. Elizabeth Bell

A Dedicated Dentist at Our Temescal Office

Dr. Elizabeth Bell brings over three decades of dental expertise and a deep commitment to transforming smiles and lives to our Temescal office. Raised in Missouri with a final year of high school in Bellevue, WA, where she trained as a competitive swimmer alongside Olympic hopefuls, Dr. Bell has always embraced challenges with determination and grace.

She pursued her academic passions at the University of Washington, earning a BA in Zoology before continuing at the same institution to achieve her DDS from the University of Washington School of Dentistry. After completing her education, Dr. Bell owned and practiced at her own dental practice in the Seattle area for 30 years, where she honed her skills and deepened her understanding of patient care.

Recently, Dr. Bell and her family relocated to the Bay Area in June, drawn by her husband’s new role at Ghirardelli and the region’s vibrant lifestyle.

Dr. Bell is an avid practitioner of yoga, enjoys hiking, biking, and exploring new restaurants and neighborhoods. She is also a culinary enthusiast who delights in cooking and crocheting. Her commitment to lifelong learning extends into her professional life, where she is fascinated by the health impacts of nasal versus mouth breathing—a focus that she believes can significantly improve the quality of life for both children and adults.

An active participant in the educational community, Dr. Bell has served on various boards and is currently a faculty member with Myomentor. This innovative platform allows her to teach dentists, hygienists, and speech pathologists about myofunctional therapy, merging current research with practical exercises for proper breathing.

Dr. Bell’s journey into dentistry was sparked by her own experiences with her smile during her youth. Motivated to prevent others from facing similar struggles, she has dedicated her career to enhancing her patients’ health and self-confidence. She believes that every smile tells a story and is committed to ensuring that each story is one of transformation and joy.

A fun fact about Dr. Bell: She went to high school with Brad Pitt and they were friends, adding a touch of Hollywood to her already fascinating life story.

With a philosophy centered on teamwork, excellence in skill, and kindness, Dr. Bell is not just a dentist but a true advocate for her patients’ well-being. Whether you’re visiting for a routine check-up or a comprehensive smile makeover, Dr. Bell is ready to ensure that your experience at our Temescal office is exceptional.
