Get to Know Dr. Bryan J. Baker
Originally from Portland, OR, Dr. Baker has been part of the world of dentistry for close to a decade and counting.
Being part of restoring pearly whites while changing lives is one of the most fulfilling parts of his work. Every
day, he gets to meet people and help them enjoy a smile that they can be proud of. He is committed to improving the
quality of life for every patient he meets and even collaborates with local specialists to emphasize an
interdisciplinary approach to treating complex dental problems. Read on to learn more about him and his background!
Why Did You Decide to Become a Dentist?
As a teenager, Dr. Baker was assigned to the dental team on a medical mission trip. It was then that he realized that
he loved making people smile. He later took some years off during which he studied, worked, and traveled in and
around the UK and Europe. He then returned in 2013 and has been involved in dentistry ever since.
Where Did You Study Dentistry?
Dr. Baker studied at Oregon State University for his undergraduate degree before attending Oregon Health &
Science University for his Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry degree. He finished in the top 10 in his class, was
inducted into the Omicron Kappa Upsilon National Dental Honor Society, and held several leadership positions,
including serving as President of the OHSU All-Hill Council and Vice President of the Delta Sigma Delta professional
dental fraternity.
Dr. Baker is committed to improving lives by providing the highest quality of dental care and he regularly furthers
his knowledge in dentistry via continuing education and participating in multiple local study clubs. He’s had
amazing mentors in restorative and cosmetic dentistry, orthodontics/Invisalign, and oral surgery over the past 12+
years. Today, Dr. Baker is a pre-fellow with the Academy of General Dentistry, and he’s a member of
professional organizations like the:
- American Dental Association
- Oregon Dental Association
- Southern Willamette Dental Society
- SPEAR Education
- Coast to Cascades Stud Club (a subset of the Seattle Study Club)
Outside of the Dental Office, What Do You Like to Do?
Whenever he isn’t treating smiles, Dr. Baker loves spending time with his wife, Tiffany, and their two children
as much as possible. Together, they enjoy being out in the sun and even in the rain (in true native Oregonian
fashion!), and they like exploring the coast, going on adventures, and spending weekends with family and friends.
Dr. Baker’s hobbies involve backpacking, traveling, music/playing the guitar, keeping up with his health &
nutrition, strength training, doing house/yard projects, and drinking coffee. During his five years abroad, he
studied art and music for his first year, and then he worked several odd jobs in the final year, including as a
musician and a photographer for a Scottish newspaper!
