Dr. Kenneth Tittle

Ken Tittle was born and raised in Martinez, CA. He received a B.S. in Biopsychology from the University of California at Santa Barbara in 1985. In 1989 Dr. Tittle obtained his DDS from The University of the Pacific School of Dentistry where he met his future wife and classmate Konni Kawata.   Dr. Tittle completed a one-year general practice residency at the Long Beach Veterans Hospital in 1990.

 
Dr. Tittle was in private practice in general dentistry for three years before beginning his endodontic residency which he completed in 1995 at Loma Linda University. At Loma Linda, Dr. Tittle’s master's thesis examined using bone growth factors to promote development of damaged teeth. He was also involved in testing a new filling material that was developed at Loma Linda and has now become the material of choice in many complicated endodontic procedures.
 
Dr Tittle maintains a full time private practice in endodontics in Pleasant Hill, CA. He is an Assistant Professor of endodontics at the Arthur A. Dugoni University of the Pacific School of Dentistry and has lectured to local dental societies, the California Dental Association, the American Dental Association, and the American Association of Endodontists on various aspects of endodontics. He is a Diplomate of the American Board of Endodontics and a fellow of the American College of Dentists. Dr. Tittle has also passed the written exam to become an Associate Fellow to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry.
 
When Dr. Tittle is not spending time on his profession, he enjoys time with his active family by snow and water skiing, surfing, coaching basketball teams, and running swim meets. Dr. Tittle also enjoys staying active himself by swimming and playing basketball, but Dr Tittle’s favorite avocation is fishing.
 
Dr. Joanne Jensen

Dr. Jensen was born in Palo Alto and grew up in Santa Cruz, CA.  She went to UC Berkeley for her undergraduate education, majoring in Biochemistry.  Upon graduation, Dr. Jensen worked as a research scientist for three years, developing several patented techniques which were used to help develop Tide Ultra II. 

 

In 1999 she began her journey into the dental profession by enrolling in the University of the Pacific Dental School.  After graduating in 2002 as a member of Omicron Kappa Upsilon Honors Society (the Phi Beta Kappa of Dentistry), Dr. Jensen completed a general practice residency at The Ohio State University.  There, Dr. Jensen gained valuable experience in medically compromised patients as well as continuing to focus on all aspects of general dentistry. 

 

Dr. Jensen quickly realized that endodontics was her passion and entered into the specialty program at The Ohio State University as well.  She earned an endodontic certificate and her Masters of Science in 2005.  The endodontic program at The Ohio State University takes pride in being the leader in pain management and local anesthetic research.  Her master's thesis project involved evaluating the anesthetic efficacy of a repeated intraosseous injection using the X-tip system given 30 minutes following a primary intraosseous injection.  Dr. Jensen now resides in Moraga, with her husband Derek and young family.  She likes to hike and enjoys the outdoors in addition to spending time with her family and friends.
