Dr. Kroll is a native Californian, born and raised in Northridge. While in his teens, he realized dentistry was the perfect career that would blend his social nature with his love for science and his natural dexterity.

Dr. Kroll graduated in 1982 from Loyola Marymount University (LMU) where he played water polo and earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology. Dr. Kroll began practicing dentistry in Ventura after earning his Doctor of Dental Surgery at the University of Southern California (USC) in 1986.

Dr. Kroll served as an adjunct professor at UCLA School of Dentistry for over a two decades. His teaching focus is on bite engineering and implant biomechanics, teaching graduate dentists at the Center for Aesthetic Dentistry as a part of their two-year residency program. Dr. Kroll also teaches these topics to practicing dentists at The California Implant Institute in San Diego, and serves as a guest lecturer on these topics for a variety of dental organizations, teaching institutions, and universities.

Dr. Kroll resides in Ventura, CA, with his wife Cathy. Together they have three children — his eldest, Dr. Stephanie Hwang Kroll, works alongside him as a dentist; his youngest daughter is a veterinary surgeon, and his son works in sales and business management. In his spare time, Dr. Kroll enjoys surfing, swimming, maintaining his black belt in Tae Kwon Do, and listening to Jazz and Classical music.
