About Dr. Loper

in Littleton, CO

Darlyne M. Loper, D.M.D.

Dr. Loper grew up in rural Northwestern Pennsylvania with three brothers. While living the carefree “country girl” life, she decided at an early age that she wanted to become a dentist. Her decision was based on the phenomenal care that she received from both her general dentist as well as her orthodontist. Her beautiful smile today did not come easily. She was a “dentist’s nightmare” as a child. Baby teeth did not fall out in a timely manner allowing for shark teeth rows. Along came the teen years and the “buck teeth” as well as multiple cavities. Hard work by all and the end resulting smile built her self-esteem and she desires to share her skills to help others as she was helped.

She attended Gannon University in Erie, PA and received a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology while playing nationally ranked Division II volleyball for the Knights. She continued on her path to become a dentist at the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine. Dr. Loper received awards in pathology at commencement as well as completing two fellowships through St. George Oncology at Presbyterian Hospital. Receipt of her coveted Doctor of Medical Dentistry degree was in 1991.

Dr. Loper completed a one year General Practice Residency at the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan. She values her training there as well as the opportunity to meet not only recent dischargees from Desert Storm, but veterans from Vietnam, Korea, World War II and even one World War I veteran. Learning about the veterans experience while expanding her dental skills proved to be an invaluable experience.

Dr. Loper worked for two years in Michigan as a general dentist while waiting for her husband to finish his postdoctoral training and graduate as an orthodontist. After little deliberating, the young doctors decided to move to Colorado. The main draws were the sunshine and outdoor activities as well as the influx of young professionals to the state of Colorado.

The purchase of a small mom/pop practice in 1995 completed Dr. Loper’s dream. For 25 years, Dr. Loper has performed quality family dental care in Downtown Littleton.

She and her family are avid Denver Nuggets fans. A quiet evening with her family is also relished preparing a meal and trying new recipes.
