Cappie Baker D.D.S., M.S., Orthodontist

About Me

Dr. Cappie Baker was graduated in 1984 from Meharry Medical College School of Dentistry in Nashville, Tennessee at the top of her class. She completed a combined specialty program in Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry from UCLA School of Dentistry in 1987 and also received a Master’s of Science in Oral Biology. Dual certification in Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry helps Dr. Baker offer a broad-based treatment that addresses the needs of all age groups.

After being closely involved with Train4Autism, Dr. Baker developed a desire to help and inspire others outside of her profession. She has been inspired by parents of children on the Autism spectrum who show tremendous patience, courage, and strength. Many of her patients who have been, in some way, challenged physically, mentally or both are living full meaningful lives with loving families and friends.

She professionally trained and employed a brilliant young man on the Autism spectrum for over 10 years while in private practice to which she feels has been most fulfilling and has brought her great joy. After over three decades and four generations of providing orthodontic care in the same community, Dr. Baker retired from her own private practice. The trust, support and collaboration from the community, friends, family and co-workers she served has given her a great sense of gratitude. Now Dr. Baker is excited about the opportunity to provide Traditional braces and Invisalign orthodontic care to our wonderful community of Palm Springs.

She looks forward to carrying on the tradition of helping others, being a good listener and providing a gentle caring approach to patient treatment. Dr. Baker enjoys building community relationships, working with other professional partners and she is a lifelong learner.

Developing the trust and the providing quality of care to her patients has always been top priority. “Working with a great team and continually enhancing my Orthodontic skills in order to provide multiple treatment options to patients of all ages is priceless.” Dr. Baker says.

Her skills include Pre-Phase I, Phase I, Comprehensive Adolescent and Adult Treatment as well as Advanced Surgical and Complex Multispecialty Collaborative cases.

During her free time Dr. Baker enjoys attending Invisalign continuing education seminars, many outdoor activities, gardening, cooking, and traveling with family and friends.
