Gordon Roeder, DMD
Dr. Gordon Roeder’s parents taught him that you can do anything you want in life if you work hard enough and you are smart enough.
Dr. Gordon Roeder wanted to be a dentist.
He worked his way through the Lehigh Valley School System and went on to attend the notable liberal arts school Juniata College. He went to Temple University for dental school and did a general practice residency program at Sacred Heart Hospital. And then, so he could cater to patients suffering from dental anxiety, he completed the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine anesthesiology training program. In the last 30 years, he has completed more than 4,000 hours of advanced dentistry training.
Although he has practiced dentistry in the area since 1988, he opened our state-of-the-art dental office, Dream Dentistry & Sleep Care, in Quakertown, Pennsylvania in 2000. From the very start of his career, he has always been focused on using the latest advances in technology to improve his patients’ dental experiences. He has always had a computerized dental office and was a part of the first wave of dentists to embrace digital X-rays in 1999 to reduce your exposure to radiation and gain better insights into your dental health.
In 2005, Dr. Roeder was diagnosed with severe obstructive sleep apnea. He and his wife quickly realized his CPAP machine was almost as disruptive as his sleep apnea. He thought there must be a better way. Dr. Roeder then went on to get trained by the best and licensed in sleep care. His motto is, “I will not do for you what I would not do for myself.” He then treated his own severe sleep apnea with an oral appliance, became so passionate about it, and now offers oral appliances as a solution to obstructive sleep apnea for all his patients of need.
He has done all of this while maintaining a fun, upbeat personality and building a team of dental professionals who smile almost as much as our patients do. He loves a good smile-related joke and goes out of his way to make his patients feel special.
When he is not at the office, he is spending time with his wife of over 25 years, Michelle, and his two sons, Deven and Derek. He enjoys doing landscaping and construction around the house, spending time outdoors, and playing with his grandchildren.
Zachary Kulp, DMD
When Dr. Zachary Kulp was 3 years old, he went to the dentist with his grandparents. The dentist let him watch, and Dr. Kulp was so fascinated by the process that he decided he wanted to become a dentist! He loves rebuilding teeth because it is like making art in the mouth that one can display with every smile.
Long before joining our team at Dream Dentistry, Dr. Kulp attended Pennridge High School before continuing to Elizabethtown College, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in biochemistry. From there, he advanced to Temple University Dental School, where he earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree.
He has been in dentistry since 2011 and has been practicing with Dream Dentistry since 2015. He views every day as an opportunity to learn something new to help patients. Dr. Kulp has completed advanced education courses in oral sedation and implants so that he is able to provide advanced treatments for patients in a painless, relaxed manner.
Patients love Dr. Kulp because he listens very closely to what they expect from a dental and emotional aspect, and then he delivers with five-star service! This is one reason he works so hard to help people achieve the smile of their dreams without any pain. Dr. Kulp enjoys seeing a patient’s eyes light up when they have the “WOW” moment after seeing their smile change.
Dr. Kulp enjoys being a general dentist because he is able to see and treat a variety of dental conditions with the most predictable and reliable techniques available. He treats you like family; what he recommends for our patients is the same as what he would recommend for his own mother and father. It is the only care he would have done for himself and those he loves most.
