Dr. Alex Culp is one of the country’s few dual-trained orthodontists and pediatric dentists. His motivation for pursuing dual training comes from inspiration found in the precious moments shared with patients and their families. His compassionate nature creates a profound and positive impact on each individual’s care.
A Rock Hill native, Dr. Alex grew up as the son of a general dentist and a dental hygienist. Given his family’s involvement with dentistry, discussing dental topics at a young age was not uncommon. These early conversations lead Dr. Alex and his identical twin brother to pursue careers in dentistry. Following dental school, he practiced general dentistry with his father and brother before pursuing specialty training.
While pursuing a two-year residency in Pediatric Dentistry, Dr. Alex Culp completed preventive and therapeutic care training for infants and children through adolescence. This training heavily influences how he manages patients with medical complexities and special health care needs, as well as those with dental trauma. Through this program, he completed research regarding pulpal therapy for primary dentition and presented it at the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry’s Annual Conference. During Dr. Alex’s final year of residency, he served as chief resident of his program.
Following the completion of his pediatric dentistry residency, Dr. Alex entered a three-year residency in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, where his studies focused on orthodontic care for both children and adults. He conducted research focused on craniofacial growth and obtained a master’s degree. Dr. Alex once again served as chief resident in his final year of residency.
Dr. Alex Culp has completed the board certification process through the American Board of Orthodontics and the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry, thus receiving designation as both a board-certified orthodontist and a board-certified pediatric dentist. He maintains Diplomate status through both organizations. In addition to private practice, he serves as an Affiliate Associate Professor in the Medical University of South Carolina’s Department of Orthodontics. Dr. Alex’s commitment to collaborative and patient-centered care and academic involvement make him a natural fit for the well-established practice of Burrow Welchel & Culp Orthodontics.
