Meet Dr. White

For over 22 years, Dr. White has had the privilege of practicing orthodontics in the Pacific Northwest. What he loves most about his work is the transformative impact it has on patients' lives by not only enhancing confidence, and self-esteem, but also leading to a life-time of improved oral health.

Beyond creating beautiful smiles, Dr. White cherishes the relationships built with patients. He finds great joy in mentoring and encouraging younger patients, helping them see the incredible things they can achieve through teamwork and perseverance. To Dr. White, orthodontics is more than just a profession—it’s a journey of trust, transformation, and lasting connections with the families served.

One of the greatest honors in Dr. White's career is when former patients return years after completing treatment to share their successes and express their gratitude for the role their smile played in their journey. Treating multiple generations within the same family is a testament to the strong bonds built.
