About Us

Meet Dr. Carpenter

For over 25 years, Dr. Leslie Carpenter has served families and individuals in her practice as a general dentist. Located near the Playhouse district of downtown Pasadena, her patients live primarily in the surrounding San Gabriel and Crescenta Valley communities.

Dr. Carpenter has been a resident of the Foothill communities for most of her life, with the exception being her years in San Francisco as a student at University of the Pacific Dugoni School of Dentistry.

Her practice focuses on comprehensive examination allowing holistic diagnosis and treatment planning meant to fulfill patients’ goals in health, function, and esthetics.

Dr. Carpenter is continually active in local and national study groups and continuing education with an emphasis on occlusal “bite” evaluation, comprehensive and esthetic
restoration, and maintenance necessary for comfort and stability in all ages. She offers a great variety of procedures to this goal including digital radiographs, skillful periodontal care by her experienced hygienist staff, tooth colored and gold restorations, occlusal guards, and implant-supported rehabilitation.

Her interests beyond dentistry include family time, gardening, cooking, involvement in her church and community, hiking in local mountains with friends, reading historical novels, and traveling to naturally beautiful destinations.

"I couldn't say enough about Dr Carpenter and her team. I hate dentists to the point I avoided them for years, but I thoroughly enjoy my visits to this office. I had to have an emergency crown in my third trimester and they were sooo accommodating with my schedule and my needs. Her office staff pleasant, thoughtful and competent and my time in the chair is not only comfortable but enjoyable. They go above and beyond to stay safe amidst COVID. I'd recommend this office to anyone and everyone!"

"Wonderful dentist, and entire office. Dr Carpenter and all of the people who work here are super kind, patient, and also truly care about helping people. They are also are genueinly, passionately interested in teeth and dental hygiene. Very warm and comforting environment. I still go here even though I have moved away from the Pasadena area, I can't imagine changing dentists! I love that the rooms all feature large windows that face into a small garden, it is very calming. Also parking is convenient. I have a serious phobia of anything dental (staring orthodontics at age 5 didn't help) but Dr. Carpenter has helped with that a lot. This is a terrific office."

"Dr. Carpenter and her amazing staff are somewhat life changing! Dr. Carpenter and her team are sincere, kind, compassionate, and completely put you at ease. It's so rare today to find such wonderful people that go above and beyond. And that's just the first visit! When it comes to the work, Dr. Carpenter walks you through everything and explains the process thoroughly. I feel lucky to have found this family and finally look forward to going to the dentist, which I was almost certain I would never say!
Shout-out to Mitzy!"
