DR. BROOKE KUPERAVAGE
Associate Dentist
“The incredible thing about dentistry is that it is not just about teeth; its about the whole patient. Developing strong personal connections with my patients goes hand in hand with providing them with excellent dental care. My purpose is to improve my patient’s overall health and self-esteem while lessening the negative stigma associated with going to the dentist office.”

PERSONAL LIFE
Dr. Kuperavage grew up in Cumbola, Pennsylvania. She moved to Bethlehem to attend Moravian College where she maintained an exemplary academic record while also belonging to the Moravian College Dance Company. She then graduated from dental school in Philadelphia at Temple University and returned to the Lehigh Valley to complete a general practice residency at LVHN-Muhlenberg. After residency, she practiced in Central Pennsylvania for several years. She was thrilled to join HDD and move back to the Lehigh Valley in 2020.
Dr. Kuperavage first became interested in dentistry because it gave her the perfect blend of art and science with the ability to interact with patients directly to achieve better health goals. She loves being able to educate and also make measurable/tangible differences in their overall health and well-being. She finds that dentistry is a fast-paced, ever-developing field that continues to get better for patients and providers alike.
Outside of the office, Dr. Kuperavage enjoys spending time with her friends and family. She loves staying active with HITT workouts and hot yoga or hiking with her husband. They also love traveling and cooking together.
