Dustin R. James, DMD

As a dentist, I absolutely love the challenge of making dental experiences as close to fun as possible. It’s a rare person, especially among children, who truly enjoys being at the dentist’s office, but I use my creativity and genuine care for patients to help build an environment that allows everyone to be comfortable and enjoy their time in our office. I always tell my patients and their families that I am a real person first and a dentist second. My care and concern for my patients goes beyond their teeth and oral health: I love to build relationships with everyone whom I treat, and I do not take lightly the responsibility that I have to care for my patients in the most compassionate and personable way possible. My utmost goals are to provide exceptional treatment and care, and turn a visit to my office into something that my patients look forward to. I was born in San Diego but I have lived all over the country. For the past 20 years I have called Oregon my home. At home, my favorite thing to do is to play with my two sons, Cody and Dusty, and spend time with my family. I am involved in gardening, and working in my ceramic studio in my home. My favorite place in the world is Disneyland. If I wasn’t a pediatric dentist, I would be working for Disney.
