Ronald S. Hauptman, DDS
A native of the Washington, D.C. area, Dr. Hauptman has been practicing dentistry in Northern Virginia since 1981. He earned his undergraduate degree from Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri; during that time he spent a year abroad, studying at the University of Tübingen, Germany. In 1981, he obtained his Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the University of Maryland Dental School.
Dr. Hauptman is dedicated to serving the community and is an active member of various dental organizations. Among other boards, he has served on the executive board of the Northern Virginia Dental Society since 2002. Dr. Hauptman’s service to the Northern Virginia Dental Clinic, an indigent care clinic in the Baileys Crossroads area, has also given him great satisfaction throughout its eleven-year history. In addition to being a frequent volunteer, Dr. Hauptman served as the President of the Board of Directors of the NVDC from 2001-2006.
Dr. Hauptman’s commitment to staying at the cutting edge of the dental profession has led him to hone his skills through frequent attendance at various continuing education courses. Two years ago, he became certified to provide treatment using the latest laser techniques. Dr. Hauptman takes a minimum of 100 hours of classes each year on varied topics such as implant dentistry, TMJ and bite therapy, cosmetic dentistry and root canal therapy. As a consequence of his passion for continuing education, Dr. Hauptman was named the Northern Virginia Dental Society’s Program Director of Continuing Education for 2006-2007.
In his free time, Dr. Hauptman enjoys fitness, bicycling, running and golf. An avid athlete, he has competed in and completed nine marathons. He has also completed numerous Olympic-length triathlons, as well as a half-ironman triathlon. Dr. Hauptman and his wife Melissa reside in Vienna, Virginia.
