Dr. Cappy Sinclair’s career began as an art conservator, where he was
primarily focused on restoring damaged paintings and sculptures for museums.

Dr. Sinclair earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) from the Medical
College of Virginia at Virginia Commonwealth University. He has spent
additional time in postgraduate training, studying under renowned leaders in functional and esthetic dentistry.
He now leads a study club educating fellow dentists about those functional and cosmetic principles he learned at the Dawson Academy. Dr. Sinclair currently is an Accredited Dentist of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.
