Company Description

With their families rooted deeply in Southern California, Dr. Erik Wipf and Dr. Luke Sharron are extremely proud to have the opportunity to serve the communities that have been a part of their families’ lives for several generations. By 1937, the Wipf family had settled down in Santa Barbara, California and by 1947, the Sharron family had settled down in Encino, California.

Dr. Vaughn Wipf attended UCSB as an undergraduate and played for the UCSB baseball team. Upon graduating from the University of Missouri – Kansas City School of Dentistry in 1964, he served in Vietnam for the United States Air Force as a general dentist and received the Bronze Star for meritorious service. By 1968, Dr. Wipf, decided it was time to return to Santa Barbara, open his dental practice, and build a family with his wife, Deanna. Over the next 45 years, Dr. Vaughn’s love of dentistry and family saw both his practice and family grow, and in 1996 his son, Erik, joined the family business.

The Wipf family’s long-serving commitment to Santa Barbara and the neighboring communities has helped to establish this dental practice as a premier office in Santa Barbara. This commitment continues today with the addition of Dr. Sharron in June of 2013. Dr. Sharron is a bit of a pioneer, as he is the first and only in his family to pursue a career in dentistry. Accordingly, he brings with him an infectious love and energy for all that the art of dentistry has to offer his patients. He is happy to call Santa Barbara home and is excited to be a part of the Wipf dental family.

While he retired in 2012, Dr. Vaughn Wipf is still a fixture in the community, active with the Good Shepard Lutheran Church and with his 48 years of active practice in dentistry, he is an invaluable source of information for both doctors. Dr. Erik credits his father for mentoring him during the time they shared the office. Both Dr. Erik and Dr. Sharron are excited to welcome you to their office so that you can see firsthand, the excellence that has defined the practice for over 45 years.
