Our Orthodontist

Dr. Raj Kulkarni is a trusted orthodontist in Springboro, Ohio, with more than 30 years of experience helping children, teens, and adults achieve healthy, confident smiles. As the founder of Kulkarni Orthodontics, he is dedicated to providing exceptional orthodontic care through personalized treatment plans, advanced technology, and a compassionate, patient-first approach.

Dr. Kulkarni earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine (D.M.D.) degree from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine in 1994 before completing his specialty training in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics at the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine in 1997. Since then, he has remained committed to continuing education and implementing the latest advancements in orthodontics to deliver outstanding results.

Patients throughout Springboro, Dayton, Centerville, Franklin, Miamisburg, Bellbrook, Lebanon, Waynesville, Clearcreek Township, and the greater Miami Valley trust Dr. Kulkarni for expert orthodontic treatment, including traditional braces, clear braces, Invisalign®, early orthodontic treatment, Phase I orthodontics, adolescent orthodontics, adult orthodontics, retainers, bite correction, jaw alignment, and smile makeovers.

Dr. Kulkarni believes that prevention and early diagnosis are key to achieving lifelong oral health. By identifying orthodontic concerns early, he can often reduce the need for more complex treatment later while creating beautiful, healthy, functional smiles that last a lifetime. Every treatment plan is carefully tailored to each patient's unique needs, goals, and lifestyle.

At Kulkarni Orthodontics, patients can expect a welcoming atmosphere, friendly and knowledgeable staff, state-of-the-art technology, flexible treatment options, and exceptional customer service. Dr. Kulkarni is passionate about making every visit comfortable while delivering outstanding orthodontic results for every member of the family.

Outside the office, Dr. Kulkarni enjoys spending time with his wife, Benu, and their three daughters, Nina, Esha, and Trisha. Family has always been at the heart of everything he does. When he isn't creating beautiful smiles, you'll often find him on the golf course, one of his favorite ways to relax and recharge.

Whether you're considering braces, Invisalign, clear aligners, or early orthodontic treatment, Dr. Raj Kulkarni and the team at Kulkarni Orthodontics are committed to helping you achieve a healthy bite, a confident smile, and an exceptional orthodontic experience. If you're looking for an experienced Springboro orthodontist who combines advanced expertise with compassionate care, we look forward to welcoming you to our practice.

Dr. Kulkarni builds his team with the same intention he brings to every treatment plan. Every clinical assistant, treatment coordinator, and front-desk member is chosen not only for skill, but for kindness, empathy, and a genuine commitment to making patients feel at ease.

The result is a warm, unhurried environment where families are greeted by name, questions are answered with patience, and each visit feels personal — from the first consultation to the final retainer check.

We are also proud to mentor the next generation of dental professionals. Dr. Kulkarni regularly hires high school and college student interns, many of whom have gone on to dental school and other advanced health-science programs. If you are a motivated student interested in orthodontics, dentistry, or patient care, we welcome you to ask about internship opportunities.
